The Car Dealer

Most people have a preconceived notion of car dealers.  I have the same one-they're sales people (read douche bags), they lie to people all day and have inflated egos.  Like I said, I too have this picture of car dealers in my head.  That did not however stop me from trying to go out with one.  Notice the word TRY in the above sentence.  This Spring Break goal is a total bust!

I first encountered The Car Dealer about 3 years ago.  For the life of me I can't remember why we never met up (upon further review & how our interaction went this time I can make an educated guess), but I distinctly remember him inviting me over to swim in a pool.  Sorry, but our first meeting will not include me in a swimming suit.

Round 2 with The Car Dealer came about when I set my 5 date goal for myself.  He happened to pop up on Plenty of Fish again (if you are on POF, please do yourself a favor & get off ASAP!).  He immediately said we should meet up, I of course agree, while in my mind calculating how many dates I already had set up this week & getting excited that I might actually make my goal.

We planned to meet up on Saturday after he got off of work which was 7:00.  I text him at about 4:00 to see where he wants to meet up, he says he doesn't know but will figure something out.  7:30 rolls around (I haven't eaten) & I text him again.  He says that he is still at work.  I decide not to wait on him & get something to eat myself.  8:15 and I get a text that he is just now leaving work.  I ask if we should reschedule, he says yes for tomorrow since he is off.  Great!

Take 2-Sunday 12:30 I text to see what he has in store for us.  He says that he doesn't have a clue but will figure something out.  I text him at 6:30, 7:20, 8:45, & 10:00 all with no response & yes my texts are getting bitchier by the hour.  Now any self-respecting woman would just write the chump off, but I am on a mission dang it!  The next morning I send him an e-mail via POF & basically to snoop & see if he's on-line.  Low & behold he is!  I write that I'm glad to know he's alive.  He texts me back saying that (and here's where it gets good) he's alive & OK now that he is out of the hospital.  I ask what happened & he says that he fell down the stairs of his house and got a concussion.  His roommate could see that I was texting, but didn't know what to say since he hadn't met me.  At this point I realize that this is going to make for a fantastic blog entry so I go along.  He says that he is off tomorrow (Tuesday) so we can meet for dinner.

Take 3-Tuesday 1:00 I text to see if he has figured out plans for what we should do this evening.  He replies, "I don't know yet."   I begin to wonder if he has this as an auto-reply on his phone.  5:20 I ask how his day off of work was.  He replies that it was boring & he still had people from work calling him (you know he's so important!).  I ask if he knows what he wants to do tonight.  He says that his head still hurts & he's going to take a one hour nap.  I ask if we should just reschedule again (because I know this is going to be good!) and he says, "Whoa!  I'm just going to take a quick nap."  Cut to 7:20 I ask how his head is, 7:44 I ask if he's fallen again, 9:00 I tell him I feel like I'm on Punk'd & 10:20 tell him to text me when he wakes up.  

This morning I ask him how his "hour" nap was.  He says, "Ya it was longer than anticipated.  I slept through 4 alarms."  I said, "Well I guess the third time wasn't the charm."  He responds with, "What can I say, I needed rest?  You know where I work you could have a lunch date with me."  (Oh can I, can I please!)  Instead I say, "Well you could say you're sorry."  "Nope, will not."  Well this is a new one for me!  "Dare I ask why?"  "Cause I needed sleep."  I explain that while I understand that, he has still left me sitting at home 3 times when I could've been out doing other things.  My time matters too you know!  "Ya but you have whole weekends lol."  LOL?  What is funny about that?  Are you literally laughing out loud that I have "whole weekends" free?  I, by the way, do not have "whole weekends" free & spend much of my time still doing work.  He says that he can't help it that he's busy & works 75 hours a week.  (Yeah, you looked real busy watching the KU game at work last week!)  I inform him that working that much is his choice & that I cannot be at his beck & call.  He then tells me to come visit him at work.  I inform him that I am busy & he says, "Ya whatever.  The last time I checked lunch isn't a 12 hour deal.  I work 8:30 to 8."  (Oh aren't you special!)  "Sorry you don't have anytime.  Good luck."  Wait a minute, what just happened here?  I am not willing to come on command and this is what happens?  "No days off no holidays off for this guy except for sundays.  I have a very difficult schedule.  I wish I had your schedule lol."  Again with the LOL!  I only respond with, "WOW!"  "What I mean you have no time and u have a week off. Give me a break lol."  "Wow!"  "I can make time & I get up at 6 and work til 8 lol."  (I now begin to wonder if he has a default ending to every text.)  Well nice knowing you!  Time of death-10:32 am.  (I don't think I've ever had a morning time of death before!  He's memorable for so many reasons now!)
