It’s Best To Skimp Over Some Guys

(I’m at the end of a blind date with an awkward-but-sweet guy.)

Guy: “I really had fun. I’d like to see you again.”

Me: “Me too. I have to work overtime this week, but next week, I’m free.”

(We set up a time to go out again. The next day, a text comes in.)

Guy: “So, can we go out tonight?”

Me: “Sorry, I get home late and I have to work early. I’ll see you next Tuesday, though!”

(The next day, I get another text.)

Guy: “Can I see a picture of you in a bathing suit?”

Me: “No! That’s not something I show any guy!”

(In addition to being self-conscious, I am a very modest person, so I don’t do that sort of thing. The next day…)

Me: “How are you doing?”

Guy: “Good, but you haven’t sent me a bikini shot. Can we go out tonight?”

(That night, I talk to the friend who set us up.)

Me: “He wants to see me in a bikini. That’s kind of creepy.”

My Friend: “Oh, well, he’s trying to narrow down the three girls he’s dating and he wants to see all of them in bikinis.”

Me: “Well, then I can narrow it down to two!”
