Date #19 - Jonny

25 year old kid who lives in San Diego.  SAN DIEGO, folks!  I write him back saying, you're in San Diego.  That's far and I don't do commutes.  But he insists on meeting me, calling me princess and saying he'll drive up for the first date.  We compromise and meet in Irvine for some mini-golf at Boomers.

Over the phone and email, he seemed interesting enough.  Slighly crazy I think.  Not necessarily in the unstable way, but I could just tell there was something... creatively crazy about him.  He was creative, which I liked but there were tons of red flags to begin with.

1. 25 year old living in San Diego.
2. 25 year old living with parents in San Diego.
3. He spins for a living, but really is that a full-time living?  I know people who are DJs that do this, but his seems like it's not a full-time gig.

But our interactions were fun.  He seemed to really dig me.  It sounded lke he wanted to settle down with me in a house with a white picket fence in Eugene, Oregon.  Um.  Me?  Eugene, Oregon?  White picket fences?  HAHAHHAHAHAHA yeah right.

So we meet.  Aaaaand I'll just dive right into this list.

Pros

• He seems to like me?
• Has pretty eyes? <-- that doesn't save it him at all though, see the cons list below
• He seems creative.  Does DJ'ing and writes and draws.  <--- that doesn't save him still, keep reading the cons list below.

Cons

• Not as cute as pictures.  Damn.
• Short.  Damn.
• Weird fucking clothes.  Damn.  I don't like it when the crotch of guy's pants are down to their fucking knees.  It makes you look fat too.
• Fat?  Maybe not, but I couldn't tell due to the LONG-CROTCHY PANTS.
• Didn't like his voice when I heard it on the phone the first time, didn't like it in real life either.
• I think...I THINK he might come be white trash.... I just had this gut feeling when I first talked to him and I can't shake the feeling.  His brother works for Sony though, so that kinda throws a wrench in my theory.
• He said he liked Oriental women.  So I said, rugs are Oriental.  I'm Asian.  Wow.  Who still calls Asians Orientals??  (Oh yeah, Madison is totally an Asian last name.  Look it up).
• He.  Drives.  An.  xB.  Yeah.
• He says he's a great screenwriter.  Okay.  I'm a great painter too and I'm a great fucking chef as well.  Who says that about themselves?  And if you're unpublished nonetheless?  WHAT IS THE BASIS FOR THIS!!!

Before we left, he said he couldn't read me at all.  That I mask my true feelings well.  And that he had no idea what I really thought about the date.  Nice.  I had no idea that I had such depth.

He called me later that night after we split ways.  I told him I was gonna go out to watch a movie so later dude.  And he said he'd be happy to hear back from me anytime.  I just didn't want to talk to him anymore.

We are from different worlds.  I don't get him and he doesn't get me.  Annnnd I don't want to keep this up.  So I think I will call him and let him know today that Lily best be on her way.
