Okay. I’m on a quick mini date which consisted of a beer or two and watching the end of a playoff football game on Sunday night. In the mist of the game, conversation with my date, and drinking some beers, I notice this guy who keeps staring at me. I’ve managed to ignore him for close to 20 minutes but couldn’t take it anymore. So I finally look up and this guy winks?….lol. What is that all about? So I continue to ignore him and now he is doing hand signals, whispering things, trying to throw me a napkin, smoke signals, pretty much anything to get my attention. It was like being in junior high class trying to listen to the teacher and some boy bugging to get your attention to check “yes or no” on his “Do You Like Me” slip….lol. Remind you, I’m still on a date! I’m completely ignoring him and seeing all of this in the corner of my eye and I’M STILL ON A DATE! Men in Atlanta just cannot be that bold? This would never happen in CA….lol. It wasn’t like I was at a club or something, I was at Applebees for goodness sake.
So it gets even more crazy. He now has sent the host over to the table to ask if I was seeing the guy I was with. I said…”YES!”. You would think it would be over with, but NO……..NOT IN ATLANTA.
After getting his answer from the host, he still is being obnoxious and trying to communicate via air. Another 20 minutes has passed and this guy had the nerve to come to the table? Yes……I am dead serious. This guy actually comes to the table and tries to holler at me? I know the Remy Hair is banging, but dayum….lol. You really can’t be serious. So of course my date wasn’t having that, so he stepped in already annoyed at the fact that the host came to the table initially and now this joker is here.
I like to handle these situations myself. I’m not the type of lady that wants a man to step in ASAP. If the man doesn’t get the picture after I nicely say what needs to be said, then the man I’m with should step in. I’m not one of those girls who want men to fight over her. No way jose!
So this random guy pretty much says that he thought we were on a business meeting and that he is a mover and tried to hand me that same got dayum balled up piece of napkin? WHAT? Please shut up and get away from me already….lol.
Long story short, if you go on a date….just get a booth in the corner somewhere. Avoid the entire BS that comes with the high tables on the outside of the bar. Cheers!

Greeeeeaaat Post! No one needs to worry about having to deal with hecklers, lol while trying to enjoy themselves on a simple date. I’ve only lived in CA for a short period of time but I also know it wouldn’t have happened there, nor NY or any other place where majority of the population has sense. I can’t believe he was actually doing all that…super disrespectful. I would never have done that to someone; I don’t care how fine I thought she was. I’m sure you like having someone to protect you though. Who knows what that fool would’ve done if you were alone, lol he would’ve beat you in a game of Pictionary…I know that much.
Atlanta needs to grow up.

OMFGoodness! Thas crazy!!! That’s one for the record books. I swear men want you that bad only at the times when you are unavailable to them!!!!!! Don’t lemme tell my story! lol

ha ha ha u should have hurt his feelings
January 13th, 2009 at 3:26 pm
Naw…I don’t like to be mean to people…lol. I just assumed that we were all adults and respect each other.
January 13th, 2009 at 3:29 pm
Its like when you were available, they still hollered…but didn’t want to wife you up..lol. So when you are with someone who would love to only be with you, then its a problem! Please….what? Do you want me to be single forever?….lol.
January 13th, 2009 at 3:35 pm
Yea…protection is good. Maybe that’s how all those out of no where murders happen? Someone who can’t take no for an answer. I must admit I was very nervous walking to the car. =(
January 13th, 2009 at 4:09 pm
Awww, you were nervous. I’m sure your date would’ve roughed him up if he was crazy enough to wait outside. Sometimes people aren’t ‘crazy’, they just have a fatal attraction to someone, which isn’t normal so yea…they’re crazy.

I’m a very patient person but I would have probably lost my cool when he came to the table.

Some guys are bold, but that dude sounds borderline stalkerish. I’ve learned that a lot of men aren’t that bright. I do the whole ignore thing/body language etc., but they just don’t get it. In fact, as I type this, my “stalker” is calling me for the 2nd or 3rd time today. I just ignore the calls, but they keep on comin’. Anyway, I can’t believe that guy kept trying to hit on you when you were obviously on a date. Crazy.

They funny thing is this though. As soon as you give in to these “so called” men that are sooooo into you…they disappear..lol. The chase is over, so they are no longer interested. Its sad we must play these games, but let them begin..lol.

I was on a Sunday night first date at On the Border in Buckhead a year ago. We are drinking, eating, conversation is great. But our server starts hitting on my date – hard. I didn’t like it because the situation left me with few options – after all, it’s a first date so looking like a jackass would torpedo the night. I settled for a confident smile his way, and as he walked by again with a basket of drink glasses he stared at her signficant chest he dropped them all. After getting reamed by his manager, he gave me a drink on the house.
The Dos Equis man was right – all you need is the right look!

Hahahah! That is hilarious. Men here in Atlanta are so bold. You did the right thing with asking for another waiter. Just don’t understand why they do that when “supposedly” the ratio is in their favor..lol.
