Perpetually Single

Sometimes I question why I generally prefer singledom over serious relationships. Then all I have to do is remember these slew of incidents and appreciate why I try to hold out for the good guys. It happened over a year ago, but it still makes me cringe to this day.

1. Showing up for a first date wearing a shirt with a 9/11 "joke" on it.
2. Taking a date to your "favorite" restaurant in NYC, the applebees in time square. When it's full, trying to take her to olive garden.
3. Ordering your date a beer with dinner even after she says she does not want one and only wants a glass of water.
4. Ordering your date a second beer when she's in the bathroom after she did not want the first one and explicitly asks you not to order her one when she's away.
5. Running up a $80 tab and leaving her with the bill.
6. Calling, emailing, texting, and facebook messaging every day for two weeks just to make sure she got the previous message you left.

For the record, this was all one guy. I gave up on the whole responsible adult thing. I emailed him and told him to leave me alone.
