I was once set up by a friend of mine with a guy he worked with. We talked a couple times, and he seemed cool enough. He was funny. I am a sucker for funny guys. Anyway, we decided to actually go on a date a couple days later. I had him pick me up at my house on a weekday evening ... nothing too serious. The restaurant was only about five minutes from my house, and while making small talk in the car, he had asked if I was going to have a drink once we got to the restaurant. I said probably, but not much since it was a work night. He then proceeded to take out a bottle of Jack Daniels, open it, and pour it into a cup in the cup holder. I was so confused. I felt like I was on an episode of Punk’d. I asked him what he was doing and he replied, “Well, I am going to drink now.” Keep in mind this is within the first three minutes I was in the car with him. I was shocked and trying to figure out if this was real life or not. I quickly told him to turn his ass around and take me home. He then couldn’t understand why I wouldn’t allow him to take me to dinner ... umm, I don’t know ... maybe because within the first three minutes of us meeting he is already showing me that he had zero common sense. I am just lucky his dumbass actually took me home and didn’t take off with me in the car. Lesson learned: don’t let your friends set you up with guys they know.
