It’s official.
This is the worst date ever.
I don’t know why or how Rachel convinced me to go on a date with this
guy. I mean sure, he isn’t bad to look at, meaning he is extremely hot, but
his personality is all wrong. We have absolutely nothing in common. He is a
professional surfer. Californian born and bred. Total babe. It’s like looking
at a Ken doll. Unfortunately, based on our conversation so far, it seems like
college were the best years of his life. He hasn’t stopped talking about his
frat boy days and all the fun he had hazing the incoming freshman. A real
gem of a human being, this one. My face hurts from plastering on a smile
for the past half hour and nodding as if I have any semblance of interest in
what he’s talking about.
“So what about you? What do you do, Kaley?” he asks.
“Um, it’s Haley. I’m a writer,” I respond, a little annoyed that he messed
up my name for the fourth time this evening.
His eyebrows shoot up and he nods. “Oh really, for like a newspaper?
Or?”
“Um, well actually I should have said I’m an aspiring writer. A
screenwriter actually. You know Nora Ephron?” By the blank look on his
face and the slow nod he gives me, I can tell he has absolutely no idea who
my idol is. Figures. “Well anyway, I would love to write movies like hers.
You know Sleepless in Seattle, You’ve Got Mail, When Harry Met Sally?”
Again, no indication of familiarity with any of these iconic films. Does this
guy live under a rock? I clear my throat and add, “But, um, right now I’m
working as a personal assistant for an actor.” This of course piques his
interest. That little fun fact about me always piques everyone’s interest.
“Oh really? That’s gnarly. What actor?”
“Um, I can’t really disclose that information. You know. Privacy
reasons.” This is when my life becomes less interesting to people. I dangle
the bait in front of them and then I take it away almost immediately. But
according to my contract, I cannot disclose who my employer is. Even
though technically the whole world knows who he is.
He nods nonchalantly. Yeah, this date is going super well. Granted I
haven’t been on a date in a few years, but I know when a date is sinking.
This one is like the fricken Titanic.
“Oh hey, I see some of my bros from the beach over there. Excuse me.
I’ll be right back.” He flashes his perfect smile my way before he heads to
the opposite side of the restaurant.
I give him a half-hearted smile as he walks away, then pull out my
phone from underneath my black cloth napkin and hurriedly text Rachel.
Why in the world did you set me up with this guy? He is a total
dud, Rach.
Eric?? Um, because he’s hot and you need to get out and
socialize with people. And did I mention he is hot?”
I roll my eyes and type back:
