Thought I'd share an email..

I thought I'd share the email I sent to my friends about my 'dad jeans' date:


Met at XXX Tavern, 6pm.  I went inside and ordered a beer.  I saw him walk up and thought he would just come inside, but he waited outside on the bench.  From the second I saw him I knew it wasn't going to be a good date, I should have gotten up and left right then.  I didn't have his number, but he had mine so he could have called.  He sat outside for 10 minutes and then finally came inside.  And stood by the door. For another 10 minutes.  I was sitting right inside and looked at him and smiled a few times... no response.  After 20 minutes and my first beer, he finally walked up to me and asked if I was me.

So not a good start.

A few things:  He's lived here for 20 years and hasn't been to Red Rocks, or a concert in 7 years.  He's never been to the mountains really (never been to Estes, etc.),  He dislikes the outdoors.  he is tall, but he is super nerdy.  He was wearing dad jeans and bad tennis shoes.  He couldn't hold a conversation and there were a ton of weird silences.  The most fun thing he does on the weekends is play trivia in a bar.  He also lived with his parents until he was 28.. and he's 30.
