Yes I know it’s been quite some time folks, but worry not, I’m back and boy oh boy have I been a busy bee. So much has happened, and I’ll start with tonight because it inspired me to start writing again. I can truly say there is a first for everything, and every time I think I’ve seen it all I am proven wrong again and again.

Tonight I agreed to go on a date with a guy from Bumble. Bumble is now the only dating app that I am on. I figure if I’m going to keep doing this, only one is really needed because all the same people are on all of the apps, and it’s the most tolerable one in my opinion. Now back to this date. I met him on Bumble and had been texting with him for a couple of weeks. He never really stood out from the rest to me but he was consistently in touch. It was another typical back and forth situation where I finally had to say the “well if you’d like to meet in person sometime let me know”. Like I’ve said many times before, I’m not looking for a pen pal. He said yes and that he would definitely like to get together. We had a bit of trouble finding a night that could work for the both of us and it seemed like it would possibly just fizzle out. But then after another week of his random “hi” texts he finally asked me when I was free to get together. We’ll call him Max.

Max lives in Brooklyn, and works in the medical field in Manhattan. He’s 36. His pictures on Bumble were nice but also screamed out damn I really, really like myself a lot. Yes folks it’s true, men take kissy face selfies too and it’s just as scary. His first message to me on the app was “well you look like a really nice girl”. I will officially add traits and behavior like this to my list of things that say run girl run. Unfortunately I didn’t run and planned a date for tonight. It’s a Sunday, I had been lazy relaxing at home all day and really didn’t have any interest in watching the Oscars this year so I figured why not. We planned to meet at 6:30pm. He had explained that he was going to have a very early dinner with his parents for his mother’s birthday and then come to meet me. I get myself ready, and head to the bar we had agreed to meet at. I walked in at 6:29pm. I order myself a glass of wine and send him a txt to let him know that I just got there and was at the bar. 5 mins, 10 mins, 15 mins go by and no reply and no Max. I’m sitting there and I’m thinking to myself how long do you give someone until you think that you’re being stood up? I then txt one of my best friends and ask her how long she would give someone until she thought that, and she told me to give it to 7pm and then leave. It was 10 of 7 and still nothing so I sent him another txt that said….

Danielle: Hi, is everything ok? You’re not standing me up are you?

5 minutes pass I finish my glass of wine and send a last txt “well I guess you are…nice”

I pay my bill put on my coat and head out. I’m walking home and midway a txt comes in.

Max: No dinner ran late

Danielle: And you couldn’t txt me? Are you even on your way?

Max: My phone had died so I just came home for charge it for a minute.

Danielle: Well I guess tonight isn’t happening then. Honestly not cool at all.

Max: I know, I’m a jerk. I hope you didn’t have to travel too far.

Danielle: (No reply)

That was the first time in my life that I had been stood up, and yes, it sucks. It 100% makes me never want to go on another date ever again, and yes I know I’ll get over that and go out on more dates with more assholes and the circle will just keep going round and round and round, but this was classic. I can honestly say that people just suck. But hey it’s what brought me back to you my friends and the sharing will continue!

What else have I been up to you may wonder? Well I dated one of my best friends for a few months, and yes it was one of the biggest mistakes of my life for sure. That’s an entire blog on it’s own. I also went on a bunch of dates with a guy that turned out to have not 1 not 2 but 3 Bumble profiles. All with the same pictures just in different orders, and different ages so that he could land in numerous age ranged searches. Amazing right!   Oh this one is rich, I went out on a date with a guy that was a “kind of “ conservative Jew that kept kosher but was in an open marriage, still living with his wife who had a boyfriend so according to him that made it ok. Oh and the best part was that he didn’t reveal this to me until with were over an hour into the date. I don’t even remember his name but I sure do remember how that went down. We can call him David.

David: So Danielle, have you ever been married or have any kids?

Danielle: No, never married and no children, you?

David: Uh yes and I actually am still married.

Danielle: Are you going through a divorce?

David: No

Danielle: I’m sorry? I’m not following you. Do you live with her?

David: Yes, and I have two children as well.

Danielle: So you are still married, live with her and your children and your on a date with me and didn’t reveal any of this on your profile or when we spoke?

David: I know, but I didn’t think you’d go out with me if I mentioned it.

Danielle: Damn straight I wouldn’t have gone out with you. I’m going to leave.

David: Danielle please don’t go. I’m in an open marriage, my wife even has a boyfriend.

Danielle: You’re nuts, I’m leaving. This is insane.

I start to gather my things and get up from the table to leave. He grabs my hand and continues to ask me not to leave. I tell him not to touch me and I walk out. He then follows me out of the restaurant, and half way down the block pleading with me not to go. I hopped on the bus as it was coming down 2^nd Ave and made my escape.

Needless to say after that date I took a little break.

I’ve always wondered about the saying you’re such a busy bee. Well now I know what it means in Bumble land. It means that you’re busy being bumbling mumbling buffoons! The bees on Bumble are smart though, they buzz around your head just enough to annoy you and piss you off, even ruin your day sometimes, and scare the shit out of you at times as well, but they never sting, because they know their good time would be over and dead. Oh and I forgot to mention, I’m also allergic to bees, so Busy Bumble Bees be gone!
