This guy sent me a random message on MySpace. He had seen my profile and thought that I was interesting. He just come off of a nine-month trip to South America. After checking his profile out I told him that I wouldn’t mind hearing about his trip over a beer.

I set up a beer date for Wednesday evening (non-committal date night). When I called he had just come back from a run and didn’t really feel like being out. He said that I was welcome to come over.

I ended up going over there (I’ve seen “To Catch a Predator” and I did it anyway). We talked for a long time. The discussion was on politics, our families, a lot of random stuff. We talked about how the subject of race was brought out into the spotlight with the recent presidential debates. He asked some weird questions. He asked when the last time I had a boyfriend was and had I ever lived with a boyfriend. When I answered that it had been over 2 years since I had a boyfriend he asked if I had kept a lover in the interim.

SCARY DUDE. These are not first date questions. I was also a little weirded out when he threw in the “you are more beautiful than I had expected.”

Something was a little off about this guy. He was definitely ADD.

The date ended with an awkward hug. I never heard from him again.
