“When someone shows you who they are believe them; the first time” – Maya Angelou
It’s just after 6am and I just ended a telephone call by telling two bold-faced lies to the man on the other end.
The first lie was that I was entering underground parking (with not a structure in sight) and would be losing reception and the second lie was that I would call him right back.
After about a minute of listening to the venom spewing from his mouth, I was beginning to wonder if this dude was a loose cannon, and for the remaining nine minutes on the phone with him, my suspicions were confirmed. I would be deleting this nut job immediately so please – allow me to introduce Jaded Jack (“JJ”).
I met JJ a few days ago while hanging out with a few friends and while he wasn’t much of a looker, he was decent and came equipped with a nice set of teeth, sense of humor and his casual banter was entertaining.
Since we exchanged numbers in passing, we really didn’t have time to get beyond the basics such as names, age and status. It was just in your face, this is who I am and if you think you might like me, let’s take a chance kind of dealings and boy, did that “chance” end up being more like a risk.
See, this is what I miss about online dating. A lot of what we learn from someone’s profile and those pre-screening messages such as career, schedules, children etc… may not necessarily be obtained at the time of meeting.
Someone like me needs to know a few details about someone I may end up dating but you can’t really fire off tons of questions when you meet a person without coming off as putting them through some kind of inquisition.
Then again, online dating isn’t foolproof either because looking back at the hangovers of the past that I did encounter online then meet doesn’t exactly scream “Winning!” either, huh? I guess this just means that meeting compatible and decent people or dating really is like playing a game of craps and JJ was the snake eyes rolled with wobbly dice.
Now… About this morning’s first conversation (post meeting) which went just like this:
“Yeah, I just finished my push-ups and am normally up around 4 or 5am when I was working. I was laid off from Pepsi-Cola and was doing a stint with the school district, but I’m better than cleaning up classrooms and stuff like that.
In fact, I’ve got a meeting with the union this afternoon to try getting my job back. So now because this punk ass coworker came at me sideways and we got into a heated verbal altercation I’m out of a job…”
“People keep telling me I need to just bite my tongue but that just isn’t me. See, this is why I’m not looking for anything right now – not a relationship. Nothing.
I’m just looking for a cool friend until I can get myself situated and everything worked out right. I need someone who doesn’t want to fight and argue every day, because I just went to hell and back these past two years in my last relationship. I’m a bit jaded but I’m not looking to be with anyone right now.
The woman I was with took me to a different place and would always accuse me of cheating, said I was still sleeping with the mothers of all my kids (yes plural and no, I didn’t care to ask how many) but then would remind me how fine she was and how she could have any man she wants. I know I’m not the finest man in the world or the tallest, but when a woman sees what is between my legs, SHE will be blessed…..”
Ninja what the hell is wrong with you?!?!?!?!?
In case you’re wondering, here’s what I said to prompt this type of reaction: “Hey, you’re up early this morning. How’s the day starting out?”
That’s all.
He went from zero to 100 real quick acting as if he had lost his flipping mind. I don’t even remember him having taken a breath in between his rant nor did he notice that I was completely silent on the other end, eyes bucked wide open and jaws gaped as I took in everything he was telling me.
As I’m approaching my office, all I could envision were his blood vessels on the brink of exploding and him foaming at the mouth while he went on another tangent about his two-year emotionally and physically abusive, confrontational and destructive relationship with a ghetto Bonquisha. His words, not mine.
Aside from simply hanging up, how the hell do you react to someone like this? Now that I think about it, there were probably two things I was able to fit in which included “Wow, it took you TWO years to figure out all of these things about her” and something like “People shouldn’t ignore the warning signs” but that’s really about all because clearly – this conversation was about him and him alone.
Finally, he decides to takes a breather and this was my chance to tell him my two lies.
I’m thankful JJ revealed so much about himself and did so right away. He’s right about needing nothing in the form of dating or a relationship right now and to be honest, he doesn’t even need a new friend or casual acquaintance and most certainly it won’t be me. This man reminded me so much of the explosive Bullet and really needs a therapist and some anger management training, not a new female friend who’s only going to be used as his personal punching bag.
I will never understand how so many men and women plagued with personal problems and drama believe they’re in the best position to meet someone new, even if for nothing more than friendship.
Please believe that most of us aren’t looking for the perfection in a person that doesn’t exist, but you sure as hell better have your life together and your attitude in check.
No thanks JJ, I’m so good on your wonderful offerings of friendship and “blessings”.
Until there’s a cure…
