I know that I have an established category for my dating adventures here, but to be honest...most of them don't have enough of a story to really warrant a full on blog post. However, I usually share them on Facebook for my friends and family to laugh over. Today's story was just too funny not to share here with you guys in Today's Edition of Why I'm Single.
On Thursday night this week, I met my girlfriends for dinner and drinks. A guy I know from the Keys came to meet us. Not really a date, but kind of. We've seen each other a few times over the last year or so, but I wouldn't consider it even casually dating. We're more just friends who hang out every few months and sometimes make out.
While at our first stop, a guy kept staring at me, and eventually came over to introduce himself and ask me out. He was polite and mildly attractive, so I obliged. Things with the teacher fizzled out a few weeks ago and I am trying my hand at dating again. Anyway, so that happened. I went on to have a great evening having dinner with the girls and my guy friend, then going to karaoke.

The guy I met at dinner began texting me around midnight asking me to meet him at the marina to go out on his boat.
That’s a BIG FAT NO from me, even if I hadn’t already been in bed. I’ll take a pass on the potential rape and murder, thanks. If this was someone I knew, yeah, maybe. But I don't know this guy from Adam, and there is no way in hell I would go hang out on his boat in the middle of the night. He did not take that well and told me to delete his number.
? But it gets better....?
For some reason, maybe because I was feeling snarky that morning, I texted him in the morning asking if he was over his BS yet...He was so sassy, I kept talking to him.

Yeah, for some of you, you may not care if a potential suitor has been to prison. I DO. And that is every bit my right as a woman to have qualify factors in determining if I want to date someone.
BUT, since he kept texting, I eventually asked him what he went to prison for. It was grand theft...so of course I asked what he stole...
IT WAS DYSON VACUUMS.
Vacuums, guys.
I can't date a vacuum thief. There, I said it. Call me a snob or judgmental, but I am not dating a vacuum thief.
Mike says
A guy who did 3 yrs in prison for stealing vacuums (there’s a black market for vacuums?) and just got out, is unlikely to own a boat. You dodged one there.
Jenn says
Agreed!
Sujeet says
Wait, he went to prison for stealing Dyson vacuum cleaners?! That's so bizarre..
Jenn says
Yep! There may have been other things that he just didn’t mention to me, though!
