Friday Date Report: Gentle Giant Edition – It Was All Good Until It Wasn’t
We all know I went out with a literal gentle giant last Friday. 6'9" to my 5'0" – the height difference was so ridiculous that kissing him would’ve required a step stool, a prayer, and possibly a forklift for backup. I’m over here thinking, “Bro, I need an extension ladder just to say goodnight.”
The date itself? Honestly, it was all good. He took the initiative, made reservations like a “real man” (his words), ordered for me (okay, a little odd, but whatever), and played the perfect gentleman. No complaints…until the clock struck midnight and the cosmic switch flipped.
At 12:30 a.m. I get the text: “The night was MAGICAL. I’m head over heels. You have my full attention.”
Sir, I was sick with a nasty head cold, barely made it through dinner, and went straight to bed at 10:30. The only magic I felt was the NyQuil kicking in.
By Saturday morning it was full send: care package drop-off at my apartment (flowers, gin, tonic, chocolates, magnesium spray, and chicken noodle soup – thoughtful, right?). But then came the monologue.
Dreams about me. Waking up at 3:33 and 3:21 because of “synchronous numbers.” How my middle name synced perfectly with his sun tattoo, so obviously the universe had spoken. He had to burn Palo Santo incense just to ground himself from all the “electricity” running through his body.
Then — plot twist — he sends me an “inventory.”
Four deep, loaded questions basically scripting what I should be feeling. “When was the last time you felt like you’ve known someone forever?” (Uh, never said that, buddy.) "Why did you kiss me when kissing is so vulnerable?" (Uh, you kissed me. I can't reach your face without a trip to Home Depot for a ladder). "When was the last time you ran into a guy that was in the back of your mind?" (Uh, you weren't.) "When was the last time I organically had a date?" (Uh, last week?)
Projection level: expert.
Look, I was still recovering from missing work, dealing with a $50 cancellation fee guilt trip the night before (yes, he complained about the fee while I was coughing up a lung), and all I wanted was soup and silence. Not a full cosmic soulmate speedrun complete with angel numbers and mystical whiplash.
Note to self: If a guy declares the universe aligned after one meh dinner, run faster than his giant legs can chase you. Especially when he guilt-tripped you weeks earlier with the classic “this is the last time I’ll try” line.
Dating over 40 is wild, y’all. One minute he’s a tall, polite gentleman. The next he’s writing fanfiction about your future while you’re just trying not to sneeze on him.
I'm not trying to be a complainer, but I am a little terrified. 😂
