3 – Teacher/consultant
This gentleman messaged me several times on
the internet dating site before I responded.
He was older than I, had a winning smile, and was well educated, working
half time as a teacher and half-time as a consultant for the school board.
I thought we
might have some commonality so I engaged in several chat conversations with
him. He seemed pleasant enough and
finally invited me to lunch on a Sunday afternoon, at a quaint little
restaurant by Ferry Lake in Newmarket. I
accepted.
This was my
first date from this site so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I wore a turquoise fitted mini dress,
turquoise sandals, amber jewelry, pink lipstick and huge expectations. I arrived at the restaurant and was directed
to the patio. It was one o’clock. I waited.
At 1:15, I
ordered a beer and continued to wait.
There were couples seated at tables nearby. I sat alone.
At 1:30, I
began to wonder where he was. Being new
to the site, I hadn’t gotten the gentleman’s cell number, so could not reach
him. I asked for my check.
At 1:45, I paid my cheque and left. I had been stood up!
When I
arrived home, I logged onto the internet dating site and checked my
messages. There were none, so I deleted
him.
