M.

First date with M., a bank CFO originally from Kosovo, raised in the Bronx. 6’4″, big guy but not entirely comfortable with it, especially in a crowded Spotted Pig. Nice enough guy but a) talked a lot about what he liked and needed in a woman, and b) kept talking about how spare my online profile is, which after a while made me uncomfortable. Am I really supposed to have some list of must-haves and dealbreakers?

He will only date women who are over 5’4″, with light colored eyes, with good hygiene. He can’t date Indian or Asian women because curry smells. Wow, did he really say that? He couldn’t stand the lack of hygiene when he went to visit cousins in Albania.

Maybe I’m being too harsh. But still, not making it to date two.

Update: just got email from him asking me out again. In spite of having absolutely no intention of accepting, it was still surprisingly important to me that he wanted to.

Jesus.
