Date from hell

I'm not sure if you would call it a date but this is the story of tonight.
This past weekend my girlfriend and I broke up and she flew back to Fukuoka. We had been living together for over a year and a half and it all came to an end over this weekend. After living and dating someone for that long the breakup can be pretty tough even if deep down you know that breaking up is the best decision. Making things even worse, I am stuck in the same apartment that I lived in with her and every single thing I look at here invokes some memory of her.

Well, after almost getting no sleep and almost going crazy I decided to go out for some fresh air. Luckily, I had just come into contact with another girl living in Chiba who also just broke up with her boyfriend so we agreed to meet up tonight and have some dinner.

I didn't know much about this girl other than she was the "lonely" type who needed a boyfriend at all times, and that her exterior was quite extravagant as she worked one of those jobs where you are at events in skimpy outfits letting otaku and Japanese men wet their mouths while staring at her and taking pictures. She seemed to be really excited about getting together as I sorta got the feeling that she might be looking at me as possibly her next man.

So we met up at Chiba station. She was wearing a white jacket, white shirt, cream skirt and cream boots. I am sure that she turned plenty of heads throughout the day as she was dressed quite nice. I on the other hand, was dressed quite casual in jeans, white shirt, jacket and hat. I didn't really have any strong intentions so I wasn't out to impress anyone.

Everything seemed to go fine until we sat down to get a bite to eat. She sat down and removed her jacket, revealing her excellent body underneath and then everything went silent. Before I knew it I was desperately trying to keep a conversation with this pile of makeup, chanel and coach in front of me. The girl had absolutely no personality! I felt like I was eating with a depressed monkey, but that would be an understatement because even a monkey has more personality than this girl.

At one point I thought she was about to even cry! Beforehand, she had told me that many guys found her to be quite negative but I had never intended something like this. As soon as it actually seemed like there might be something to talk about she would suddenly freeze, look up in the air, and then sigh as if she had just remembered her father's death. I wanted to throw my food at her. At least then I could finally see some personality!

After dinner, I did my best and restrained myself from getting up and walking out and then went to go have a drink with her at a little chic bar/cafe. However, this girl's suck factor went into high gear as I found out that she didn't drink or smoke (smoking not required though). I mean, usually no matter how bad the person is they get a little better with a little bit of alcohol in them but I was just plain outta luck. So basically I had to sit in front of her for another hour as I searched for things I might possibly have in common with this girl over a cup of tea. Our conversations went something like this:

*Soccer Playing on the television*
Me: Do you like watching soccer?
Her: No.

Me: Did you watch any of the volleyball games recently?
Her: No.

Me: So what DO you like to do for fun?
Her: Shopping.
Me: Really?(like it was honestly that big of a freakin' surprise) What sort of brands do you like?
Her: Whaaaat?
Me: I SAID. WHAT SORT OF BRANDS DO YOU LIKE?
Her: Whaaaat?
Me: *to self* i hate you.

Her: Wow, You can use chopsticks????
Me: yeah, i'm albert fucking einstein.
Her: whaaaat???
Me: nevermind

Well, I am finally home and more depressed than ever. Do all hot girls have absolutely no intellect and no personality!? Honestly, I haven't met a worse bimbo in a really long time. Someone please tell me that they know of a cool girl whose only goal in life is not to just look pretty so that some rich guy will take care of them for the rest of their lives. Please!!! Tell me!!! I don't care if you have to lie to me but please give me what I want to hear!!

Here are some points:

1/ People who take a long time to make themselves look good rarely have time to devote their time to making other parts of their lives great. In essence, they are just glamorous otaku, but their sheer physical presence is enough to get them by. The same can be said of many people, male or female who devote themselves to something. they too usually can talk about one or two things. However we like to have a pop at the beautiful people.

Just remember that movie stars, singers et al have TEAMS of people to make them that good. The only other people who spend that time looking good on their own are teenage girls and models, which explains a lot.

2/ She's just split up with her BF. What did you expect? You have just done the same with your woman. You are both in a weird place right now.

3/ You met her online. Normally the freaks, broken and different souls all gather on online dating sites. Not always though. My last ex and I met online at yahoo chat uk. We ironically were just chatting in the international room and got to be friends, then she came over from LA to study in the uk and we hit it off. Still, she and i were in weird places at the time we met.

4/ Once, I was on a "double date" with a mate and two HOT blonde teenagers in the Uk. we were both 21 or so. He had shagged both and he knew the one he didnt want would be up for me. Trouble was, she didnt pay for any drinks and had the conversation skills of a barbie doll. Actually, at least barbie speaks if you pull her cord. Not this one though. Trying to get interested in gorgeous people with no personality or to be fairer to them, nothing you share in common is like giving a bear a dead body to "hunt". He will get bored.

5/ Personality is so important. Just goes to show that even us superficial, two dimensional blokes need some personality to get interested. Thats why I dont like nightclubs..i end up asking the girl to come outside or somewhere else to talk as i cant hear a ruddy thing but then she thinks Im asking her home for a rumble in the sack! At that point I just want to ask her what her name is and be able to hear it without squinting. Even one night stands require some sort of personality exchange before anything else, ahem, is exchanged..even if its a phone number!

Wise words my friend. wise words. This was the first time I'd ever met anyone from mixi and I thought she might actually be pretty cool since mixi is a bit more selective than sites like myspace where just anyone can join. Mistake #1.

Yes, I'm in a very weird place right now and I'm not really sure what my intentions were but I'm pretty sure that they weren't to immediately jump into a new relationship w/ miss chanel. I just wanted a night out w/ a girl to help me get my mind off of things. Sometimes its nice to be surrounded by women even if you have no intention of getting affectionate with them.

Yeah I definitely need some personality and tonight proved that! She could have said the most erotic thing in the world to me tonight and I would have probably cursed her under my breath because I absolutely could not stand the pile of plaster sitting in front of me.
