Earlier today, I said I had nothing else to say about my date with The Russian. As my day unfolded, however, I realized that, yes, actually, I did have something else to say.

That something is that I have thought it over and decided I am giving this date a 2.5 star review. This is on a scale of 5, of course. I reasoned to myself, “He is never going to read this, but if he does, I should put it in clear-cut, direct terms he understands.”

If I was rating your dating technique the same way I would rate your business, I would give it a solid 2.5/5 stars. Reasons why:

1. He rushed me into things too fast. He overwhelmed me with his charisma and refused to give me the time and space I needed to properly consider his offer. He also wasted valuable time arguing with me about topics we will never agree on. I am who I am, bro. You are not going to change me.
2. He overpromised. The offer that HE put on the table was “Pretty Woman Fantasy.” It included dinner, drinks, a trip to the crazy hilarious bar, a soak in the giant tub, room service, a trip to the spa, and a shopping spree at the mall.
3. He underdelivered significantly. None of these things manifested, at all. We just got drunk and fucked with a fancy background. That’s bullshit. I realize this is supposed to be a one-time exchange, but I don’t feel like I personally got very much out of this deal. My time is valuable. I am an investment. If you insist on making this a transactional exchange, you should hold up your end of the transaction. He did not uphold his end of the transaction.

In addition, I knocked off an extra half star because of the weird lecture he gave me at the end about my fertility. It’s literally none of your business, dude. Maybe I’ll start thinking about it once one of you ridiculous men actually sticks around for longer than a day and a half. Until then, I’m not concerned about it at all.

Overall, it was very disappointing. I don’t think I would work with this individual again. He would basically have to change his entire approach to this whole dating business, which I strongly feel he is unlikely to do.

I’m just looking for something more extraordinary than that. So yeah, this has been great food for thought, but… upon reflection, it just didn’t really do it for me.

Off now. Hope you enjoyed double posts today!
