Djburney的日记, 2012年10月11日

Yay, finally dropped! Ok, do you want to hear a story about what happened to me last night? I'd be interested to hear what you all think about this.

I am trying this online dating thing, without much success, but they say it's a numbers game, right? So yesterday I met a man for a drink even though he didn't fall into my usual type that I am attracted to. He's a physician and I am trying to find someone intelligent who can hold a good conversation. When I saw him, I didn't see any way that I would ever be able to kiss him or anything else, but I thought, maybe a friendship or maybe attraction could grow. So we talked, we ordered a glass of wine, waitress came by and asked if we want something to eat, he says no, doesn't ask me. Ok. It was a little awkward at first, but we found that we agreed on a lot of things, both of us have interesting work, and so it warmed up. Waitress asks him if he wants another glass, mine is still half full, and he says no, but bring the check. Should I gulp my wine now?

He pays, and says, ready to go? Wine glass still half full. Um, sure. He walked me to my car, and then starts stammering and says how much he enjoyed the conversation, and I could feel a BUT coming. Here's the thing...I was pretty sure at that point that I wasn't interested in dating. I have to admit I was somewhat tempted by his status as Chief of Psychiatry at a world-known treatment center near here, and by the depth of our conversation, but before I could say anything about how I felt, he delivered a punch in my gut (figuratively, of course).

You know what the BUT was? He said, "I really like you BUT you are overweight." Wow. Here I am, feeling pretty cute, used to getting warm reactions from men and POW. Ugh. I let him have it at that point. I told him that he doesn't know me, doesn't know what I've accomplished this year, has no idea how committed I am to losing weight and that I have already lost 55 lbs, and no, I can't make the last 30-40 disappear overnight, but in 3-4 months it's not going to be an issue. Then he had the nerve to ask me for my phone number! I'm thinking NO!

So yes, that stung a bit, but this morning it feels more like his issue. His behavior was pretty rude, it wasn't necessary to be so specific. Maybe because he is a psychiatrist he is used to being direct with his patients, but I'm not a patient and I always use tact and gentleness when telling a guy I'm not interested.

Oh dating at 54....don't all you married people wish you could have this kind of fun?

You just have to realize how lucky you are that you found out so early that this guy is a jerk. You realized that he was a total waste of time and decided not to waste anymore of your time. I've found out such things after getting married. There was a time when I prosecuted doctors in disciplinary matters. I saw firsthand that patients made complaints about doctors, often not because of what they did - but how they treated their patients. A truly bad doctor who was nice to patients and had good bedside manner didn't get complaints filed by patients. Then there were doctors who practiced good medicine but were jerks to their patients. We talked about such doctors as being "haughty, arrogant, and god-like" or HAGs. You just ran into a HAG. Good riddance! Lucky you.
