So, the other night, I got a message from a cute boy on Grindr. (Grindr is literally the worst ever, but what is a bored gay boy to do? More about how much I hate Grindr in a later post). He was a Latino boy, and he wasn't originally from the states, so my interest was piqued. Through our conversations, he seemed really nice and seemed to be genuinely interested in me. He uses wayyy to many emoji, but at the time I found it charming. We decided to meet up for dinner and a movie.
I drove about a half hour to pick him up, and I immediately see he isn't as cute in person as he is in his profile pictures. To quote Jonathan Groff's character in the HBO show Looking, "Instagram filters have ruined everything and I can’t tell if this guy is hot or not." I was a bit disappointed, but it's no big deal. It's not what's on the outside that matters, right?
I pick him up and we go to dinner. He was really sweet, but I really didn't have much to say. It might have been that I was really tired, but it also might have been the fact I knew right away it wasn't going to work. He, however, talked a lot.
I found out that he was an exchange student who was still in high school... Well THAT'S awkward. In his defense, he apparently finished high school already in his country, and they put him as a high school senior here. He's over 18. He graduates next week. Still, as a 20-something who is out of college, he is way to young for me. Like, to the point I felt kind of creepy.
After dinner, we went to a movie. We ended up deciding on the new Godzilla movie. Perfect date movie, right? About 3/4 of the way through the movie, he grabs my hand. Okay, fine. Whatever. I'll hold his hand for a bit. No big deal.
After the movie, I start to drive him home. Apparently he can't read that I'm not that into him in that way... He's all holding my hand and hanging on my arm. I start to feel awkward. We get to a red light, and he leans over and kisses me. It caught me off guard. Okay, fine. Not super romantic or anything, but it's alright.
We get back to his house, and he's all "I wish you could come in, but my parents..." and I'm like, no, that's okay I need to go home anyway. So he starts kissing me again, and I go with it for awhile. Not the best kissing I've ever partaken in, but kissing is fun, I guess...
So, it's not the most awkward date I've ever been on, but I definitely wasn't comfortable. So, he texted me today and told me that a girl who lives on his street saw us kissing.. So that's extremely awkward. Thankfully I wasn't in my hometown, and I don't really know anyone in his.
The whole situation really annoyed me. And from his texts to me today, I think that he's ready to be in a relationship. But the more he texts me, the more annoyed I get. His poor grammar and excessive use of emoji are starting to get on my nerves, and it is only like day 5 of actually talking. I just see so many red flags already. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to break his heart... I hate that. But, I better do it now before I have to start faking a relationship. I'm not that kind of boy.
Was I a jerk? I tried to tell him upfront that I didn't want to jump into a relationship. He just seemed interested in kissing me. I probably shouldn't have let him kiss me. I don't know what happened. I awkwardly froze up and let it happen. Okay, maybe in this instance I am a jerk. I'll admit it.
So, yet another guy is not my Prince Charming. Oh well. Moving on with my life...
