#12 - B. & B. Owner - Art Historian

This gentleman messaged me several times before I responded. He was Portugese and his profile stated that he was 46 years old, never married and owned a Castle in Europe, lol. Eventually I responded and discovered that we had art in common. He owned and operated a bed and breakfast in downtown Toronto, filled with original art. We decided to meet on a Sunday to attend the Picasso exhibit. I met him in the foyer of the AGO; wearing a pink and grey floral dress, pink sandles and pink drop earrings with matching pearls. He was shorter than his profile indicated and yes, significantly older looking. He paid for our entrance and we proceeded through a number of rooms filled with Picasso's genius. The tour was fabulous; he was my private guide, explaining the intricacies of the artist and his work. We took the streetcar back to his business where he began to show me around, explaining that he had hired artists to do the frescos on the walls and had purchased the tapestries in Europe. It was quite impressive, filled with antiques and beautiful art. Then he offered to take me out for dinner to a quaint little restaurant down the street. During dinner I broached the subject of his age to which he replied that he was 56 (still not believable). We talked about art, history and Europe; really interesting gentleman! We walked back to his bed and breakfast. He invited me in for a glass of wine. We sat on opposite couches in a room which could have been for royalty. He poured us glasses of red wine and we continued to chat. Eventually he moved over to sit beside me and in an instant was kissing me intensely. I pulled away but he was insistent, beginning to undress. Suddenly his clothes were off and he stood completely naked. I told him that I don't have sex on a first date to which he stated "Do you know who I am? I am a very successful man!" I thanked him for dinner, grabbed my purse and headed out into the night. I went to my car, got in and drove home, quite upset. He never called to see if I arrived home safely. In fact I never heard from him again. Lesson #12 - Gentlemen on internet dating sites may be expecting sex on a first date. Life Lesson for the Gentleman - No means no; don't take offense, like I said before, a decent woman will want to get to know a gentlemen before taking it to the next level. Always call or text after a date especially if you have asked the lady to get intimate with you.
