Always Go With Your "Gut Feeling"So, it goes without saying this boy was cute-- cuter than the pictures actually, so that was a plus.1+ I don't ever really date guys not blessed with at least the cute gene because, it's the laws of physics or Murphy's law or gravity or something that you need some physical attraction if you expect this date/interaction/feeling to amount to anything. I'm sure there's someone in your past (possibly your present) whom is ever-so sweet, funny, intelligent, considerate.... fill in the blank really, but you are just not attracted to them and you know deep down, it would never work. Inevitably, looks are good place to start. Common interests are another factor when exploring intimate interest in another person. Mr. Signs took me to a comedy show, another plus. 2+ Anyone that knows me, knows my cackle is always looking for a reason to shine. 3+ Then, he ordered a bottle of red wine for us to share. This guy was on a role! Haha comedy role? I should keep my day job? O-kay. After the hilarious show, he walked me to my car and suggested we drop it off at my house and he would get us an uber back downtown. 4+ I told him if he wanted to meet up with his friends he already mentioned were downtown, I understood. He said he'd rather spend it with me. (whatever but I smiled and went along). He suggested I change into "something a little nicer" since we were going drinking downtown. I mean, I had just come from the beach when I met him at the comedy show; I had warned him well in advanced but I guess my attire only sufficed for the casual culture of the theater. We returned downtown for dinner-- feeding me is ALWAYS a plus. 5+ He seemed tired and looked a little sloshed so he stated he thought he needed to go home. I offered to walk him since he lived downtown and he blissfully accepted. He even said he would get my uber after we talked a little there. On the walk home, we were talking about our different kinds of "drunk" and I asked if he was the kind that would just pass out when he got to his pillow (I know I would! I snore and errrrrything!). His response almost made me change my walking route. "Well, it depends on what I have to keep me awake." Woop there it is. That just docked you 5 points. -5 Look at that, he broke even. We arrive at his house and he offers me a drink so I suggest water and stand next to him in his recently updated kitchen. He kissed me. I was tipsy and wasn't repulsed by him so I let him. Then, his pace increased and his hands wandered like boys hands often do, so I casually redirected them. Not 5 seconds later, they wandered more deliberate and grasped one of my cheeks. No, I don't mean one of the ones grandma pearl pinches when she says, you're so cute, she could eat you up. -5 Pushing myself out of the now one-sided interaction, he grazed my boob and looked like that of a sad puppy dog, begging and drooling for scraps of food. -2 "A little handsy," I managed to utter as my body language instantly shelled up. His face remained in the same slightly pathetic state. He managed to hold conversation for another minute or two and I announced I was getting an uber. He offered to get my uber, but I had no desire for him to have my address in his phone, especially since he's already been there now. I politely declined and ubered out of his life. He never messaged me again but periodically watches my snap stories. -1 I'm sure there were other signs in our correspondence prior to meeting but obviously I missed it. When a sign the size of a four-lane bridge is presented to you, it surpasses a gut feeling. Always go with it, regardless of what song your lonely heart is playing.... always. Glad I got out alive... again. Although he had the ingredients of a good guy, he failed to rise to the occasion. There's only one thing he wanted to rise for....
