We met at one of my favorite places–Seasons 52–for a three hour long glass of wine. Yes, I should have gotten up and walked out after he told me his ex had broken his heart but I chose to stay and learn more about him. Give him the benefit of the doubt that he was healed and ready to date someone new. He’d already had his rebound. I didn’t expect he’d bring out the cellphone pics of him and his daughter wearing matching outfits and posing with Disney princesses on their latest trip to meet Mickey. I learned that his daughter gets whatever she wants since she’s officially “daddy’s little princess.”
After a great phone conversation I was so excited to meet this guy in person. Sure he had a 5 year old daughter but had been divorced over 2 years and sounded like he was ready to move on with his life. That hope ended when we met in person and I learned about his abnormal obsession with his daughter and all of the ill will he maintained for his ex wife who “ took all the diamonds he will ever buy for a woman along with her.” The remarried ex lived down the street from him (which he arranged on purpose so that he could be with his daughter every chance he got).
It was obvious that he chose a picture from his college days to post as his most recent profile pic. It had late ‘90s written all over it down to the rolled up t-shirt sleeves. When he asked about meeting for sushi a few nights later all I could say was “I’ll pass”!
