I was on one of my "need a date, so go on-line" modes. His pic was pretty cute and his profile seemed harmless. I'm a pretty progressive woman, so I don't always date for love, I date to "date". We emailed a few times and then had a conversation. He was not the brightest star in the sky, but I figured its just a date. We decided that following weekend to meet up at a local theater and catch a movie. Movie dates offer a good way to avoid a bad conversation, so I was game. I arrived at the theater a little early so I called him to check his status. He arrived and we gave the "I'm glad to meet you hug". He really wasn't my cup of tea and I doubt if I was his. With a slight awkward silence, we moved forward to get our tickets. As we approached the ticket counter, I noticed him pulling something out of his pocket. It appeared to be some type of paper. He swiftly proceeded to the counter before me, presented the paper, received "his" ticket and then stepped aside. I then paid for my ticket and we proceeded to go into the theater. While we were walking in, I asked "what was that paper you pulled out"? He said "oh it was just a coupon for a free movie". I chuckled and said, "I use coupons too"? He swiftly replied, "sorry I only had one". "SERIOUSLY?"...... need I say more..... Still Single.

I wasnt asking for a LOBSTER dinner it was just a....
movie? I don't fall in the category of "high maintenance". Ive dated a man who; didn't have a car (wont do that again), who has "just" lost his job (wont fall for that again) and even the guy who has a modest income. I know the economy is poor and EVERYONE has to cut back, but I thought coupons were typically used for groceries?
