More expanded 100 Things... #87 I was talking to someone recently, and was saying that I’d seen two movies with the last person I dated, one on our first date and one on our last. The person I was talking to figured out, based on the movies we’d seen, that I’d dated the guy about 6 weeks. It kinda floored me that he knew that.
The movies were "Return of the King", and "Big Fish". His name was David, and I met him on Craigslist. He was cute, and had great hair, but there was just something about him that turned me off. And I really wanted to like him. I really really did. But the thought of spending time with him made my skin crawl. After we saw Big Fish, he tried to kiss me for the first time, and I knew I had to end it. I told one of my friends about it, and he said "I thought you were going to break up with him. Why did you go see Big Fish?" And really, I did it because when we saw Return of the King, we saw a preview of Big Fish, and we both wanted to see it, and so we decided to see it together. I kept putting it off, and finally the choice was either break it off, or go see the dang movie, and being the chicken that I am, we went to the movie. A couple of days later I finally got the guts to break it off, though, I'm sure he knew it was coming since I would not kiss him.
(oh, and this item was written in my 100 Things over a year ago. David is no longer the last person I dated)
