The Creepy Goatee Set-up

So I thought it was weird when my evil ex’s friends asked me out for drinks. I mean I thought that they probably secretly did not like him (which ended up being the case as they were very candid about it) – but asking an ex for drinks was kind of a lot. I went anyways just to show I was fabulous and doing well without my stupid ex bf.

It turns out this was a set-up. There was a guy who was friends with them who they wanted me to go out with. Which was nice. But he was BALD. Like he took a Bic to his head. And he had a mustache which turned into a goatee. WHO said mustaches were still acceptable in society today? I certainly do NOT approve. Now that I think about it I am having flashbacks and my stomach kind of feels ill. GROSS. And why would it be okay for me to date someone with such an appearance? Who is in his mid-30s and still lives in a house with multiple roommates. Sorry bud, this is not college. You do not live in a frat house.

So regardless of all of this, I go out with him …. Mostly out of spite. I want my ex to hear I am going on dates and let alone – the people he considers his “friends” are setting me up on them. If my friends were trying to set an ex of mine up with anyone, I would be LIVID!

Don’t get me wrong, this guy is TOTALLY nice. And a gentleman … but there is NO way I can get past the goatee. None. I thought about it and the thought of kissing him made me ill. The second (and last) date we went on … he walked me to the door and clearly wanted to come in. I acquiesced but sat on the other end of the couch and proceeded to fall asleep. I was not letting this guy get his hands on me.

Let’s get one thing straight. I do not know how to dump a guy. I have never really had to do it. I was usually just blacked out on vodka and not dating. So how do I do it? My therapist informed me that I should just stop calling him back. (Sometimes I feel like she gives poor advice). But I felt like that was SO rude.

I did take the advice of my therapist and it worked. Although – someone should really address his facial hair with him. So inappropriate.
