The man in the fish picture is not candyman, to be clear. I just like sprinkling these pics in here for entertainment value. For me.

So I think I can safely say that that was the most vanilla date I have had in… I can’t actually remember a more vanilla date. I really appreciate the value in going slow but there is a difference between moving slowly and being at a standstill. I’m trying very hard to be understanding. Some guys are very hard to open up. Candyman, come on. Stop making me do all the work. Sure, you had a 45 minute drive to get here. But you also had hours to talk to me and literally no questions about me, and no details about you.

Honestly I’m a little baffled why the date happened at all. He didn’t ask me a single question about myself, he shared as minimal details about his life as possible, it’s all very unsettling. it’s not like watching movies and hanging out is not fun by itself, but the whole point of dating is to make a connection with someone else and to find out what you have in common/different and how those two pieces work together.

I am frustrated. Mentally, trying to figure out what the fuck is going on. Emotionally, having a date where I get essentially ignored as a person. Physically because he did not touch me at all, except for a kiss at the end of the night that you could probably safely and not creepily give your grandmother.

I asked him how it went, by the way. According to Candyman, “it was great!”

… I am dubious at best.
