11/6/08: All the Above

I have recently stepped into the world of business and you know what I realized? People lie, cheat and just act dumb. As a young woman I am learning first hand that people don’t take you seriously, they think they’re smarter than you and will try to get over on you for their own gain.

I had one of the most annoying, irritating and stupid experiences of my life today. I was meeting with a potential client who I realized early on wasn’t interested in getting help more than he was interested in me. There are no words to even describe this man and why he thought he ever had a chance to go out on a date with me. Some things are deal breakers. I already mentioned height. I also cannot get over age. If you are 40 and over don’t even talk to me. My mind naturally says “You should be dating my mom. You should be dating my mom.” Thinking of dating someone the same age as my parents makes my stomach sick and is giving me a headache.

First off he brought me a gift. What the heck? How awkward. He bought me a cake. I don’t even like cake that much, especially not the type he presented. Then throughout the meeting he just kept staring at me. He kept interrupting to ask me if I would go out with him. I continued to tell him no. He would ask “why not? Am I too old? Too fat? Not good looking enough?” Yes! Yes! All of the above but if I said that I would be a jerk. I finally ended the meeting and told him that I wouldn’t work with him because he had crossed the line. He left the building but lingered outside trying to wait for me. He said he wanted to walk me home. Are you crazy? No. So I pretended to be on my cell phone until he left. He kept banging on the window trying to get my attention. I ignored him. He finally left, but I walked a different route home as to ensure he wasn’t following me. I kept thinking he would jump out of a bush somewhere. Crazy man. It was a shame too. He really needed help, but oh well. If he can’t retire that’s not on me. I tried to help him.

I promise since I have been in New York I have not met one decent datable man.
I really think this is purposely. God must want me to focus on other things. He is making it really easy when I keep running into D.A.N.’s
