Can I ask, what is it with guys? Do they understand it doesn’t just take us 5 minutes to get ready, especially on a date we are looking forward too? We ladies go to the hairdressers, get our nails done, shave our legs and spend like an hour on make-up and then the guy turns up late and looking super casual.
One time I had met a guy from another city so travelled his city to hang out with him for the weekend. I was staying at a friend’s house and they knew I was meeting up with this guy so they made plans to go out. They asked me if I would be alright and I was like “don’t worry about me, I am heading out tonight” so they left. Meanwhile, I was all ready to go out, I had made myself all presentable and was looking good. While I was waiting for this guy to pick me up I watched a couple of television programs, and then another. Realising this guy was running late, I sent him a text message, and then waited… and then left him a phone message and then finally I came to the conclusion that I had been stood up. I was a bit upset as I had flown to this city to hang out with him and could not believe he had stood me up. Like most women I started over analyzing the situation. Suddenly, out of the blue I got a phone call from this guy…. He apologized and said, he had fallen asleep on the couch! The entire time I was getting ready in anticipation for the date, he had been asleep, sound asleep! What was worse was that he said he would leave right away and come and pick me up but it would mean he wouldn’t have time to clean his teeth or have a shower! Unbelievable! I had spent a couple of hours getting ready and then a couple of hours analyzing why I had been stood up and then just to top it all off, when he arrived he said it would be too late for the movies so we ended up at the McDonalds fast-food restaurant around the corner and then the date was over!
As you can imagine, that relationship didn’t work out. We are still friends though. Anyway, it just shows how us ladies are so different from the men! I guess somedays just turn out to be a total waste of makeup!
