Here’s a tip if you want to turn Travis Dillinger off within the first five minutes of your date. Ask him his sign. No, seriously, ask him astrological sign and he will immediately check out.
To further advance this, talk about your ex boyfriend being a Leo…and how that is the reason your relationship failed. He’s only going to talk about his ex-girlfriend being a Cancer. And you won’t get the joke, and it will lead to another uncomfortable awkward pause in the conversation.
There isn’t much to say about this date. We got coffee and she was entirely too into astrology, and I was entirely too uninterested. When I couldn’t take it anymore, I pretended to be choked up. I made up a story about not entirely being over my ex, while still fighting feelings for my female friend, and that I should probably just go.
Of course, she had to go and offer to talk about it. I told her I didn’t want to talk about it, because it was all so fresh and I aren’t really the type to burden others, especially in this scenario. She told me that she’d always be around if I wanted to talk. She even offered to give the dating another shot when it all wasn’t so fresh. I faked a smile and told her that I would definitely keep that in mind.
