I'm at the bar waiting on one of my many drinks and this guy comes by with a beard, not really an epic beard but a good enough beard. I just reach over and stroke this guys beard- out of nowhere. We get to talking a little bit, exchange numbers and he leans in to give me a kiss on the cheek, and then it hits me... his breath. Oh dear god his breath.
Ok, I'm being a little dramatic because on that first night, it really wasn't that strong, and for all I knew it could have been anything because I was hammered. Thats why when he texted me at some later point in time and asked me out on a date, I accepted. Physically, his sense of humor, his tastes in music- he was pretty much my type. He was also from the south, which I'd never gone out with a southerner before so I figured it could end up being a fun experience.
False.
He came to pick me up in a dirty truck, about an hour late, and we went to a bar around the corner from my house. Its more of a dive bar (dive TOWN, to be more precise), and we sit and talk for a bit and have a few beers. Its not very loud in the bar so we aren't very close when talking, so it wasn't until after I kicked his ass in a game of pool (naturally) and we went back to my place to watch a movie that he tried to kiss me... and thats when it ACTUALLY did hit me and I had a flash back from the night we met... it wasn't alcohol.. it wasn't a sewer.. that stank was commin' straight from his grill and he was trying to put it in mine. I pulled back and continued to watch the movie, not wanting to be a total dick and be like "homeboy needs a mint". I figured we could pull of 20 more minutes of him and I hanging out, breathing in opposite directions and then I'd pull the whole "its late and I have to work early" line.
I'm an honest person, but this is one subject I'm not real clear what the etiquette is on approaching this subject, espically on a first date. Could it possibly be this easy? No ... guess a slight taste was not enough because he contiunes to push- he keeps trying to kiss me, and..well.. more even though I'm like 'hey I'm not like that' (usually).. so strike 2, as if the Breath of Death wasn't enough, he's overly pushy about sex. The 20 minutes I was gonna wait to get 'tired'? Turned into 10. I politely excused myself for bed and saw him to the door.
Could I be lucky enough that this is my only encounter with this guy?
Wait and see..
