What is worst than pulling teeth?
A date with an arrogant dentist! But excuse me; he is not a regular dentist, as he reminded me a bunch of times. He is a prothodontist. He makes a lot of money, which he made a point of telling me more than once.
The date was all about him. Besides talking about how successful he was, he enjoyed talking about being popular with young women. The last 2 women he dated were less than half his age. He said he broke things off when they wanted to have sex after only a few dates and he doesn’t want that. He wants a commitment. If he wants a commitment why is he going out with women that are younger than his youngest son? I didn’t bother asking that.
He also wanted to talk a lot about online dating itself, the website and his experience there, all negative. He didn’t make a single positive comment about it. While I agree online dating could be much better I think it is silly to waste time on a first date complaining about it. After all, online dating is the place that brought us together. He focused too much on all the is negative. I don’t like complainers.
When I was able to get a word in he made sure to disagree with me. It seems he just disagreed for the sake of disagreeing. A lot doesn’t bother me so I made the best of it and stayed for the whole dinner, but needless to say there will be no second date.
Speaking of second dates. I did have a second date with B. I haven’t mentioned him here yet, so the next post will be all about him. Stay tuned.

I’ve had dates like this, and don’t understand how they think women will be drawn to them, with their attitudes and personalities. maybe someone will, but like you, I move on quickly.

I often think the same thing about certain dates and even some guys that work with me – how can anyone put up with them?
I guess there is someone for everyone.
I just keep on moving, I am too old and too good to put up with some men.
Thank you and many blessings! 🙂

Doc probably has no clue how clueless he is. Wow. And I appreciate the wordplay in your title. Makes me hope you’ll also date a carpenter (what a tool), a scientist (chemistry? what chemistry?) and a proctologist (I will leave this one up to you!)

It seems like it, but still things don’t feel right at the moment. Just a nagging feeling. I guess time will tell.
