Online Dating, Part 2: Date-Ditching, Part 2

Date-Ditching, Part 2

FA was in quite a predicament. She could confront the guy about lying and just leave, or she could give him a chance and hope that his personality didn't match his height. Being the nice girl she is, FA decided to give FG a chance.

After making small talk for about ten minutes, FA climbed into FG's car. He took her to El Dorado (11777 San Vincente Blvd., Los Angeles, 310-207-0150), for dinner and drinks. Later, FA told me that he seemed really stressed out, and just moaned on and on about how busy work kept him, and how tired he was all the time, and about how much money he was going to make when he was done with his residency. Hmm... She tried to talk to him about other things: interests, vacations, his undergrad, but he had almost nothing interesting to say about them. All she could do to get through the torture was to drink as many mojitos as the waitress could bring to the table.

Finally, the dinner was over and she getting ready to walk out the door with FG and say goodbye when out of no where, a friend, his friend and his hot cousin materialize at the front door of El Dorado. FA was ecstatic! She says hi, and of course they ask her what she's doing there. So she explains she's on a date with FG, who, remarkably, these other guys know! The first thing they say is "FA, what the hell are you doing with him?" And of course, in her inebriated state, FA responds "I don't know!"

The guys convince FA to stay and dance with them for a while, while a fuming FG watches from the bar. Finally FG decides to assert his authority and tells FA that he is ready to go. FA assesses the situation, turns to FG and says, "I think I'm going to stay. You go on ahead." FG says some choice phrases to FA and then starts heading for the door. It's that moment that FA accepts and invitation to go for a ride with her friend's hot cousin. She passes FG on her way out the door... as she leaves with another man while on the date that FG paid for...
