The names in this story have been changed to protect the innocent.
Recently a friend of mine "Pam" I'll call her, told me about a date she went on over the weekend. Now " Pam " is an intelligent, beautiful woman who has a great job, her own home and two nice sons. She doesn't need a man to take care of her, she just wants someone to possibly share her life with. So in her search for companionship she decides to try on-line dating. She joins Orange people meet.com and proceeds to meet people...................................................now this is where it gets interesting! She meets this guy (we'll call him Stan)who seems like a nice guy (don't they all seem nice in the beginning?) they converse on line for a while then decided to go on a date.
It all seems so innocent doesn't it? Okay so "Pam" agrees to meet "Stan" at his house and he would drive from there. Well "Pam" gets to "Stan's" house and he comes outside to her car and she's like " Oh this must be his dad or older brother............WRONG it was Stan who was looking way older than his picture on-line. He proceeds to tell her that his car was totaled yesterday (TOTALED YESTERDAY? and Your NOT HURT?) and he can't drive so can she? While "Pam" is trying to wrap her mind around the fact that this guy IS old enough to be her father he jumps in the car and proceeds to tell her how to get to the restaurant. Well all the while he's talking up a storm about how beautiful she is, she's too beautiful for him ( always run from anyone who tells you that) Blah blah blah......finally he's like here we are "Pm" looks and she's like " You've got to be kidding!" they are at Whole Foods! Yes Whole Foods the grocery store, the supermarket, the place where you buy food to cook and eat. "Okay " she thinks to herself, Maybe he is going to buy dinner and take it back to his place". (we are always thinking the best of people.) They go in and he grabs a cart and starts shopping. Yep SHOPPING !!!!
he took a list out of his pocket and starts moving down the aisle throwing stuff in. My sister girl "Pam" is in shock! He must be making dinner for me." she thinks. So she just stands there unable to breath or say anything. He finishes up and they leave, she DRIVES him back to his place and he asks her if she wants to come upstairs for a snack, as he holds up a potato chip bag. A SNACK!!!! This is after he purchased two cooked chickens, sides and other things. (at this point I am laying on the floor rolled up into a ball crying!!!) She politely says, " No thank you." and peals off into the night. I mean if he needed some food, why didn't he call Meals on Wheels? I can't even call this? What is going on? I'm afraid, very afraid!!!!!
oh my god this was so funny! whew i really need this!
ReplyDeleteApril,
ReplyDeleteIf I never laughed so hard and i am at work the children...So was the outing to whole foods suppose to be the actual date or what?
Online dating CAN work out, but I met a LOT of frogs before I met my wonderful husband (married four years in May) and I moved my son across the US to be with him. He is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteFunny story, tho'. Poor, >Pam".
Oh my goodness. I read this with my mouth hanging open the "Whole" time! This was too funny! I don't know though, Whole Foods and chips are two of my favorite things!!! lol
ReplyDeleteHilarious!
Wow. Well, I guess Pam should be happy that he didn't ask her to pay for the food.
