November Spawned a Monster

Apparently, my maximum tolerance for a man is three months - it's officially over with Christian (though I should say "unofficially" because he's been waiting for ME to call HIM and I have no intention of breaking the silence with a dumping). There were no major problems - just a series of cumulative pet peeves and I'd rather be stoned to death with popcorn than deal with them another day:

  • I have no problem dating a poor (monetary-challenged) man, but a tightwad, cheap boyfriend who makes more than I do, and hasn't taken me out in three months, but still manages to come over and drink all my beer? Thanks, but no.

  • This might be irrational, but I don't like people who sleep more than 6 hours/night.

  • He doesn't believe in evolution, fossils, or carbon dating. Seriously. Gravity is also a theory, and I may not understand the complexities of it, but that doesn't mean I won't land on the floor if my drunken self falls off a bar stool.

  • He'd complain about my Netflix movie choices. She who pays, chooses!

  • Chewing tobacco. Just...ew!

  • How endearing that he has no cell phone or internet? Nope. He's too cheap and was hoping I could add him to my family plan.

  • He watches competitive fishing shows. Day and night.
  • Tell me, again, about all the fish in the sea??

    Cheap bastard. Scrawl his phone number on a couple of salubrious toilet stall walls. In fact do it everywhere you go for the next three months with catchy tag lines alongside.

    I think you could have picked someone just a smidgen more compatible, don't you? Answer when you've spat your baccy out.

    He hasn't taken you out in 6 months??

    Yeah, cut the rope....

    And the chewing 'baca? Gotta go.

    Yes, there are waaaaay more fish in the sea.

    Ok, well...3 months. That's still kind of record. I'm sure.

    Monty: I'm beginning to wonder if there's ANYONE compatible with me.

    Slick: seriously, I'd rather date a smoker than look at bottles of black spit!

    Are you serious? This has to be joke right! All that stuff rolled into one person - well it sends a shiver up my spine and all I can say is I hope he had a nice pecker to put up with all that pesky crap. Sounds like he needs a mother instead of a girlfriend!

    You deserve SO MUCH MORE!!! :)
