My dating disaster

This is going to come as a surprise to most, hell, it was a surprise to me even. But I had a date last night. No joke. Now I know your wondering…how the hell did that happen. I know, I asked myself the same question about 50 times. As most of you know, well at least my friends know, that I am absolutely terrified of asking girls out…even if I am intoxicated, I just can’t seem to do it. Well, it would seem that luck was on my side this time since I did not have to ask her out, she asked me instead. Which a lot of guys would now make fun of me for being such a wuss, but oh well, I got a date out of it so suck on it. Anyway…So it turns out this girl is actually a professor at the school…I keep forgetting that I am 22 years old now…so this was really strange at first. But then I remembered that I was and it was cool. Now I know what your thinking…Jason has a date with some old college professor and that’s gross…WRONG. First of all she is only 25, so that’s only 3 years older than me. Secondly, and not to sound crude, But she was for lack of a better word…Hot as hell. There was really nothing “teacher” looking about this girl. And no she didn’t teach any game design classes, she was one of the professors for The Interior Design program. Which from what I’ve seen might as well be a modeling agency since it is practically all girls and they are almost all gorgeous. So anyway, back to the whole date thing. Why this girl asked me out in the first place is still a mystery to me, but at that point I didn’t care.
So we went out last night. Had some dinner, saw a movie, had some drinks. The DDM date as I call it…simple, but generally effective I hear. I wish I could say that it worked for me and we had an awesome time, but if it was like that, I probably wouldn’t be writing this right now…if you catch my drift. It was a horrible date, but the night wasn’t actually that bad for me. And it wasn’t me that screwed it up, she was just a bitch. See here in Phoenix there is a mall where you can drink, have dinner, and then watch a movie all in the same general area. We went to a place called “Gameworks”, her choice by the way, and it is a restaurant, a bar, and it has a bunch of arcade games and such. It’s a pretty cool place generally…unless you happened to go there with her. Lets just say that she can’t hold her alcohol very well. After like one martini she was pretty much completely out of it. Now most guys would be saying “Jackpot” right about now, but I am apparently not one of those guys, Who knew? She is also not a very “good” drunk. So after watching her push through a crowd, shove a kid off of the “Dance Dance Revolution” game and then began to drunkenly stomp around on the mat…I absolutely lost it. I haven’t laughed that hard in my entire life. And after a while pretty much the whole place was watching her and laughing right along with me. I just ignored her for a little while after that and went to sit at the bar. Later she headed back over to me except now she had another guy with her. I knew how this was gonna go and I honestly didn’t care. She said his name was brett and that he was goona give her a ride home. Now slightly laughing about the new situation, I told her goodnight and Brett good luck and I proceeded to walk away. Little did she know that I had told the bartender and the waitress to put everything on her tab and that she was going to pay for it all when she came back over. I was honestly quite proud of myself for that little maneuver. So was it a bad date…Hell yeah, but was it a good night…yes it was. I just can’t wait to see her on Monday and maybe remind her of some of the events that took place…That is going to be awesome.
I really don’t know how this shit happens to me. There has to be something about this town cause things like this never happened to me back in Athens. I don’t know, at least they make for interesting stories. Depending on whether or not I get to talk to this girl again, there may be another story to follow…I’ll keep you posted.

See Jason,
You don't believe in god and there's your proof that a diety exists. Not that you got a date, & not that she simply went out - hoping to get banged at the end of the night by anyone, but the fact of who you are. You act like an A$$h*le, but deep down inside you're a great guy, who on more than one occasion has refused to take advantage of a drunk girl. God or whatever iit is, is watching you. It drops things in front of you and says, "Oh this will be a good one... I know this guy." So it does things that any other Joe would snap up - because society has no morals - but does it to you knowing that you'll only do the right thing. And than it kicks its feet back and laughs because god knows its torturing you. God ran out of blessings a long time ago and now it only has sarcastic humor left.
*Chin up... You're a real knight :)
