So Daddy Warbucks called on Monday and asked me what I was up to that day. Since we'd already made lunch plans for Saturday, I figured it would be okay to tell him that after my lunch thing, I was running errands and puttering around the house. He said good, because he was going to be in the area (for a friend's barbeque) and asked if we could meet up when I was through with lunch. I usually don't accept last-minute dates, but because I'd painted myself into a corner, I couldn't then say that I had something else to do. Also, I figured since he was driving from the canyons of Malibu, I'd cut him a little slack and make it easier on him. So I agreed, but warned him that I wasn't sure when my lunch thing would end. He said cool, we'd play it by ear, and that he'd call after his BBQ finished.
About 5 hours later, I got a text saying, "Let me take you to lunch this week... not today... what day is good for you."
This rubbed me the wrong way. Even though we'd agreed to "play it by ear", I thought that had more to do with what time we'd meet. I felt it was a little flakey and dismissive of him to cancel our impromptu date. Also, we'd already made plans for Saturday days ago, so what was he talking about?!
I reminded him of our already-scheduled Saturday date and he wrote, "Did we? You have so many other suitors? Are u mixing us up? LOL"
In the end, he checked his e-mails and admitted I was right and re-confirmed Saturday. Guess I'm not at the top of his list! So easily forgotten...
2. He told me I had a cute voice and said that most women in LA sounded like men. I asked him if he meant that women curse, and he was like, no, they just don't know how to do anything with their voices. I took umbrage at the idea that we have to DO anything with our voices at all, but took the compliment. Although I really don't have a cute voice, so it was a weird compliment. I'm really not big on those negative compliment things anyway, though... seems like a player move... EVERYONE else SUCKS about this BUT YOU! Really? Unless you're finding your women on Santa Monica Blvd. (trannyville), I don't buy it.
3. He asked me where we were going for lunch. Everything I suggested, he shot down. I gave him three good suggestions, which is three more than I usually give. But noooo... not good enough for Daddy Warbucks!
4. And then he asked me to cook for him. I'm not sure if he was kidding or not (more not), but he seems the type to coat seriousness in jokes, which is highly annoying and sooo passive aggressive. I think this guy is going to be a big headache, but we'll see.
P.S. I just got an email from him. He said:
| You have such a cute voice :-) You seem a lot nicer than all the other actress/models I've dated in LA...including A.J... (LB Woman's note: insert most famous female celebrity's name above for A.J.) |
I don't know whether it's okay to weigh in here, but it sounds like he's sort of insecure. He's telling you he's dated one of the most attractive people in the world, so having that on his "dating resume" would essentially make him a really good catch..? Is that what he's saying? I dunno. DWB sounds competitive, because he seems to compare and rank people so openly and frequently.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree with Anon. Daddy totally lost me when he dropped the AJ name. Puh-lease. He's the guy in life who lies to his friends about sleeping with women. Something tells me that even back in the day when AJ was known as Angie Voight she never gave this guy the time of day. And even in the off-chance that he did date AJ, it's still unclassy/lame of him to name drop like that. Doesn't he have his own resume to impress you with? And if he's going to shoot down your restaurant suggestions, why does he even ask? Moving on...
ReplyDeleteAnon and Kara pretty much summed it up. What else is there to say? This guys sounds like a real douche-bag-a-rama. If he continues with that passive aggressive b.s., don't hesitate to drop him like a hot potato.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous: well said. That IS competitive of him. A lot of comparisons there, you're right. And it's manipulative. I think he's used to dating stupid women because that kind of line could only work on them... "Oh my God, he dates the likes of A.J., and now, he's dating little ol' me. I'm soooo lucky!" What. Ever.
ReplyDeleteKara: Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Or perhaps it was back in her heroin days... maybe she was too coked out or strung out to be more discerning. Yeah, I think if he hasn't chosen a place, I'm going to tell him to pick it or pick one of the three I offered. I'm not doing anymore research. Maybe I'll even cancel. Dunno yet.
Booga: Yeah, he's got the makings of a huge douche. Somehow I have the feeling that this is just the tip of the iceberg!
