I was on a date from hell.
I agreed to go out with this guy who lives in the same apartment building as I do, but he?s turned out to be a
real creep. He was nice enough at the start of the date, but then he started drinking. Now he?s drunk and I?m
miserable.
I wanted to let him down gently since I?d be seeing him around the apartment building, but I didn?t want to
spend another minute with him.
Fatima: Listen, Rob, I just don?t think we?re hitting it off. You?re a really nice guy, but I just don?t think we
have much chemistry.
Rob: Are you kidding? I?m having the time of my life. We?re just getting started here. Bartender, another
round!
I realized that I needed to be more straightforward with him in case I was giving him mixed signals.
Fatima: I?m sorry, Rob, but I think this is the end of the road for this date. Thanks a lot for the drinks and I?ll
see you around.
Rob: What? You?re leaving? How about a goodnight kiss? Come over here and give me that kiss.
I wanted to keep my cool, but when he tried to kiss me, that did it!
Fatima: You?re stinking drunk and this date is over. Capisce?
I got up and left. What is it about alcohol that turns Prince Charming into a frog?
