I met him at the grocery store

Yesterday I took my usual Sunday morning trip to the grocery store. When I got off the train this guy approached me in the parking lot. He politely asked me my name and if he could have my number. Now mind you I was in my normal grocery store attire and beauty. Hair in a ponytail, no make up, gym pants and a t-shirt. I though shoot if this guy is interested with me looking like this, then why the hell not. So I gave him my number and told him I would call him a little later.

We met up about 3pm by my house. It was such a beautiful day I decided to just go to the outdoor bar down stairs and have a beer and chit chat. Now this is where the typical Shannon date starts.

So we go to the bar and I order a beer, he orders the same. The bartender tells us our total and this fool doesn't even try to pull out his wallet. I said OK lets see how this goes, so I give the bartender my card to open a tab. I figured I could get a round then he could get a round. So we sit drink our beer and talk. He is a nice guy but is a little immature for me, but I figure I still need to give him the benefit of the doubt. I mean I am almost 32 and still single so there must be a reason for that! So he tells me about a new job he just started, blah blah blah and then the fool shows me his pay check stub! Seriously I told him "are you that insecure that you need to carry your pay stub around to show chics you have job." Needless to say that was a little weird. PS I make more money than he does for sure, so he shouldn't be so proud to show that stub off :)!

After the first beer, which I drank in about an hour and he downed in about 10 min, we went to leave. He didn't want another, big surprise. So I go to close out the tab and damn if he didn't go to pull out his wallet again! So being the chic I am I went ahead and paid the tab, but you know I am keeping score and this dude just went to negative points.

Next he needed to get his phone charger from his friends house, so we took a trip to Hoboken where he was the night before and where he grew up. You have to remember that all I know of Hoboken is that it is a nice affluent area where all the yuppies live. Well technically I live with the yuppies too, but you can imagine where I was thinking we were going. So we jumped on the train and headed to Hoboken. How about this fool takes me to the HOOD! Now those of you who know me know I can hang anywhere, but shoot if I new we were going to the hood I would of stayed in my work out pants and t-shirt from earlier. Honestly though it was a nice walk through hood. He introduced me to everyone we stopped to holla at :) and they were all very nice. I got offered a beer from Mike on the stoop, it was natty ice but I didn't want to be rude. And everyone was cooking out. I wish we would of invited our selves to some of those parties. The smell of burgers and ribs were killing me! So after my tour of the hood, one natty ice, and NO FOOD, we headed back to my house. By now it is 6pm, close to my feeding time, so I mentioned that I was hungry. You know this fool didn't even offer to take me to dinner! He keeps loosing more and more points. So I gave him a hug goodbye and he did apologize for not having any money to take me out. Um, then don't ask a girl out until you have a couple of bucks. Or shoot have a game plan and ask a girl to just walk in the park or something. I could of figured out a bunch of free shit we could of done, shoot. So long story short I don't think I'll be seeing grocery boy too much in the future.
