Guilty of Ghosting! And also Marco Rubio dropping out of the Republican Presidential win. I don’t know which is worse; Rubio dropping out or this date I went on with someone who was lactose intolerant to Javelina for queso a few months back. Delayed entry, I know.

Mike was from Bumble (aren’t they all?) and fortunately for him Javelina offered him tequila tasting while I enjoyed my queso. And lots of it. I’ll admit. I wasn’t really attracted to the guy but his smile on his profile drew me in and I wanted to learn more. To counteract this I made sure that we went to a place I would absolutely love so if the date went bad, at least I knew I would have good queso and margaritas.

The date ended up being full of laughs, bad “dad jokes” (didn’t realize that was a term for what I think is hysterical clean jokes) discussion of his poor work-life balance (he even said he doesn’t manage his time right) and also about his lack of Christmas Cheer. His family doesn’t have the same traditions as me or even celebrate Christmas for that matter. Poor kid didn’t grow up with gifts and he saves a lot of money not having to buy for his parents or siblings. From this I learned that I want someone that

From this date I learned that I want someone that had a solid work-life balance and has similar family traditions and values. He had a dinner to attend so he left me at Javelina and one of my favorite Texan girls replaced him promptly. I’m 99% sure he had dinner plans with another girl. We talked about going out again and both agreed to it. We made tentative plans for the next week and he ended up having to cancel because he got stuck at work (surprise surprise). I never heard from him again until he texted me a few weeks later about how he was sorry he fell off the face of the earth and should be above water now. I just didn’t reply. I just thought of writing this because I just deleted his texting chain when I was clearing out my phone on the plane. Whether he was ghosting or truly busy at work, I have time for neither. Now, the bigger question is what Republican to support now until the Independent parties surface?
