A coffee date can be hard to screw up but it is amazing how easily someone can accomplish it. How difficult is it to sit at a doll size table, talk about meaningless things and then say good bye. How hard it that?
Apparently it is more difficult for some than for others. We met at the large coffee chain that I really hate, the name something like starbutt. He got incredibly over priced coffee and I had tea. We sat at the little table that was squeezed against the wall by large lurking advertising sign for the place we were already at.
Conversation began as always during an interval awkward date that is initiated by a over zealous horny teenage minded male who of course enjoys fishing. Only ten minutes into the feeble attempt at human interaction and conversation in a social atmosphere which my guess he hasn't successfully completed any time in the recent decade. He goes from the timid weather to asking, "When was the last time you had sex?" WOW! That is pretty damn gutsy to ask a woman from New York who has seen more muggings than a professional super hero. "That is none of your business!" I replied with damning eyebrows and a forceful smile. Then I continued on, "You don't even know me and you are already asking me about something personal. You have no consideration or tack. No wonder you are single and will probably will stay that way for along time." Then he actually tried to defend his question with, "Sorry if I offended you; I am just an open person." as if it were to make his rudeness acceptable by also being belligerent.
I thanked him for the tea and left.
