omg what IS IT this year?? Went on a FIRST coffee date with this guy who just flooded me with his whole work career, he’s 34 and like started at high school and explained every title in detail which is like ok I guess but a lot for first dates, asked me all my wildest dreams and fears, goals, and life story, told me his dad died so he raised his sister while joining the navy to help his mom get his sister to college after his dad killed himself when he was 17. And that his mom is a little mentally ill and obsesses over the rapture and trump. First date guys. First date. I don’t even remember his name. I’m so overwhelmed.
I told him, to try and relate and make him feel better, that my family sometimes fights over politics and it makes holidays less fun than it used to be, and that my little sisters getting depressed over her ex, so our relationship in adulthood has struggled some more than it used to because of him. But we are still close. That’s it. Seriously. Then he got taken aback like I over shared. Not being sarcastic. I thought he was joking. Wow. It was dessert by the time he got done talking and he was like “wow. That’s a lot to digest. Thank you for sharing all of that. Do you have friends who can help?”. Uhh.. help with my mom and aunt disagreeing on Putin at Easter so they get their aggression out over potato salad recipes? I mean… no? Have you met sisters?
This year has been like this constantly with the guys I’m picking. Major over sharing and then disappearing when I talk. At all. Like they want a mannequin and that’s it. When am I going to win?!?
