A Match Made in Heaven 2: Taedium Vitae
This will make more sense if you read Part 1 first.
It didn't matter that he was a white guy from the midwest and we had nothing in common. Opposites attract, right? Besides, he was a teacher!
He met up one evening. He was pleasant and complimentary. He was on time. He was as tall as he'd claimed online. He laughed at all my jokes (big belly laughs that made ME even believe I was funnier than I knew I actually was). He got my sarcasm and was able to hold his own. And he bored me to tears.
I first noticed my mind wandering after the entree was served, and by the time the check came, I was already making a mental list of errands I wanted to run the next day.
When he suggested we go for coffee, I really wanted to refuse. But he was a REALLY nice guy, and we'd only been together for a little over an hour, so I felt obliged to accept.
I dozed off during drinks. Just for a quick second...it could have been classified as a long blink, even. Thankfully he didn't notice. An hour later (during which time I shamefully admit recalling a passionate session with First Love just to keep my mind alert), our date came to a close. Even though he was such a sweet guy, I was relieved. I felt drained and ready for bed.
Is it completely wrong that I went out and partied until daylight?

Not wrong at all. You tried, it didn't work. You were bored, he probably picked up on that, but at least you both stuck it out. Hey, maybe he was nervous and not his usual attention holding self.
If nothing else, you had a decent date, with a not so interesting nice guy, and then you went and partied the boredom away. It happens.
Dang, I'm sorry about the boring date. Sometimes that happens, get back on that saddle though.
I know you were thinking that opposites attract and that maybe that this was a good thing.. Sometimes you need some of the sameness to make things work..
I remember something a friends said to me once, you need something that complements you but doesn't compliment you
I hope the next date is a good one..
I'll keep my fingers crossed!
Why yuh asking things yuh know?
Next!
blah
ok next
