Minx fancies herself as a bit of a therapist, I tend to be the go to person to be “talked off the ledge” – maybe not so much after this “Breach of Sob Story Violation”
I have to sit and listen to this “new to Los Angeles” guy ( over 30 gasp, and should know better ) Wallowing in self pity, bitching about L.A women. Everyone who crosses my path gets a nickname, lets call this guy Sad Sam. Ordinarily, I would of fakey-fake smiled him, and secretly rolled my eyes, and either told him off, or bailed. Minx sat and listened intently, now she has a hidden agenda for once, as she knew she could help Sad Sam ( S.S for short ) see the error of his ways, when I email him this….
Tear jerking story goes a little something like this –
S.S Takes this lady as a very first date, very first anything, to a black tie gala. Paid for everything, and he discovers her “snogging” an acquaintance, near the end of the party. He is now angry at both of them, and left a voice mail for the acquaintance, telling him he owes him money, for the ladies share for the event ticket, and their limo ? in his mind, the acquaintance STOLE his date ? and his date belonged to him, as he paid for her. I felt sorry for this guy, but, his “slagging off” of in his mind “shameless hussy”, and her equally lacky in morals partner in “slap and tickle”, and expecting a “refund” is where his stock plumeted. He asks for my number ?!? I give him a Minx In The City business card, hoping at least he reads this…. I’m obviuosly not interested in any kind of date, as after that T.M.I ( too much information ) sounds like I may have to sign a contract, and refund him if it does not go to plan. YIKES.
Minxy’s Take –
He set himself up, with an expectation in his mind of how the date should go. Who says “no” to a swanky invitation ? hhhhmmm, limo, red carpet, champagne, black tie gala, anyone ? She probably flattered to be given the invitation to such a swanky event. Totally unaware of her dates pre determinded agenda, and that he is now So devastated, and telling his tale of wow to anyone who will listen.
What could he have done differently ? and how he should hit the reset button in his head, and learn from this ?
There are no guarantees in life or dating – shit happens, especially if there is alcohol involved.
She was “just not into you”. There are plenty who are, and would be, focus on them.
Dating is like Vegas – a crap shoot.
In life and dating, don’t let those who don’t dig you, distract you from those who do.
