So we're calling this blog "SiR LiMpS-A-LoT" and you'll soon see why...
I have been on an online dating site for, well, years. No need to lie about it. I have chosen Plenty Of Fish because...dun dun dun....it's FREE! And if you want some not-so-great-dates, then you should join, too! Lesson one: Never sign up to a FREE site.
Here we go...SiR LiMpS-A-LoT catches my attention. He is very handsome. A "substitute teacher". Going to school full time. Every thing looks in place. We have such great online conversation. We think the same about family and values and all that jazz. We even believe the same about religion! What a catch! (No pun intended, P.O.F.) So, after talking for a week or more, we decide to meet up and go to church together. That's safe enough, right? Well, I don't want him to know where I live so we meet at a gas station so we're able to follow each other. He calls the night before to set everything straight. He doesn't even sound that excited to see me. Is he excited? Or slow? I had noticed from his pictures that he had a couple of scars on his face, but I didn't mind. He was handsome and some battle wounds are kinda attractive. A man's man has scars here and there. So I pull up and get out to go hug him and just say hi. He gets out and kinda one arm hugs me. It's a little awkward but it IS a first meeting. He says he'd rather take one car and to take mine. I turn quickly to clear some stuff outta the seat. As I get back into the car, he's already getting in. Didn't really see him but for a quick second because of just being nervous and everything happening so quickly. So we're talking in the car and I happen to mention something about a Handicap Sticker. He says: "Yea, I have one on my license plate. We shoulda taken my car. I can park anywhere." Complete silence takes over. "Are you going to ask why I have one? And why I have these scars?" Me: "No. I figured that if you wanted to tell me, you would." SLAL: "I was in a bad car accident a few years ago. My entire left side is partially paralyzed." And now I notice it. We get to church, he can hardly get out of the car. Going up and down the stairs is cumbersome to say the least. I am, literally, walking at a snails pace and he still can't keep up. Not that I fault him for the car accident. These things happen!! But, if you are on an online dating site and going to meet someone for the first time and are partially paralyzed...YOU SHOULD MENTION IT BEFORE HAND! Give a girl a heads up! In the end I decided that I'd like to have a future mate that will be able to run around the yard with my kids and so he just wasn't for me. But hiding the fact that you are partially paralyzed is just wrong. I mean...
WHO DOES THAT?!
