Early in the summer, I got matched up via Match.com with David.
After exchanging several emails on Match, we moved over to IM, and then chatted on the phone. He seemed interesting, and nice enough, so we decided to meet up for lunch one weekend at a classy restaurant in Concord (MA).
Arriving promptly, I waited in the [not very well lit] entryway, and he eventually arrived (late). We were promptly seated, and it wasn't until we were seated that I realized he was wearing lip liner.
Yes, lip liner.
The kind used to point out "Hey, in case you can't find my lips... they are RIGHT HERE!"
To be honest, I was kinda shocked, and didn't say anything.
Promptly enough the server approached us. She smiled at me and then looked at David, did a double take and looked back at me with a questioning gaze. I shrugged.
I excused myself to go to the bathroom, and on the way out, the server stopped me with a smile. "Hey, are you guys on a date?" *sigh* "Yes, but it is the first time we've met.", I explained. "You weren't expecting lip liner, I bet!" she pointed out. "Nope. Can't say I was." "If you want to leave, there is a way out the back over here, and I'll go get anything you left at the table, if you want." She offered.
"No way! I'm here for the food! I've heard about this place from lots of friends, but never had a chance to try it, so I'll make the best of it!" I eagerly explained.
"You're here for the food? Ok." and she walked away.
Throughout lunch, the server brought out smaller plate after sampler plate, explaining that they were "compliments of the Chef" and walking me through each plate. The food was awesome, and I look forward to going back with friends.
As for the date. Lets just say that the lip liner was the most interesting thing about him. Ugh.
Lip liner. Ugh.
[In order to protect the "innocent", all dates I write about are called "David" or "Dave". Any resemblances to actual Davids or Daves, Jims, James, Toms, Mikes, or Greggs, living or dead is purely coincidental. Oh, and all nightmare dates are delayed by at least 90 days, "just because".]
