Mr. Tree

     Being single sometimes is the best gift God can ever give a woman whose educated, lives alone, and has no children, but it's not all foot massages and back rubs when you meet men in disgusie as creeps. Mr. Tree was a friend of mine when I worked as office assistant and at starbucks during the summer. We kept bumping into each other and after three times of running into him in the break room, I finally said hello. He was a 6'3, dark mocha brother, with thin frame glasses, and a smile that could stop traffic. I liked our little chit chats but I was unable to ever accept his advances because we worked in the same building, and I was taken.

    But after running back into him a year later and recently single, I decided to take him up on his offer. We met up later that same day at a nice mexican restaurant which I suggested. As soon as we got there I discovered how  much cologone he had bathed in. It smelled like axe and old spice but I didn't want to be rude so I smiled and asked him how he came to greensboro. He replied with his family grew up here and lived with his ex for a while before she abruptly moved to California. He then ask me what was a dish on the menu like and I never ate the dish before so my reply was I don't know. His reply was "YOU ATE HERE SO YOU SHOULD KNOW".  I just smiled. I had no idea where his attitude came from but he had one, all night long. Next, he ask me about my family. He asked how tall my brothers were and I said only one was a little over 6'0. His reply was "WOW YOU'RE BROTHERS ARE VERY SHORT".  Again, I smiled. Next we finally ate and as I ate two tacos and bean dip he stated "WOW NO WONDER YOU'VE GAIN WEIGHT SINCE THE LAST TIME I'VE SEEN YOU, YOU CAN REALLY PUT FOOD AWAY".  Again, I just smiled.

   When he took me home, I waited until the engine was off before telling him that this was the worst date I had ever been on in my life and to never call me again.  He asked why and I explained  what he stated to me about my family and weight was insulting. His reply was you're too sensitive. I got out of the car. He called me five times after that until I finally threatened him with a restrainting order.  He stopped calling.This date was one of my top worst of dates but trust me I have more to tell.
