NN had really great
stats on paper. He was well travelled, educated and seemed really interesting.
Given we live in different areas he asked if I wanted to have a chat on the
phone first (what I now realise this is common online practice, at the time I
was very flattered).
We set a time, he
texted me a few times, included an X on the end of the few which leads a girl
to think ‘oh he is a sweet one’ (girls do not be fooled by the X).
Given this phone date
is technically my second online set-up I am excited by the prospect of what
could happen. Let me give you a numbered list of how things evolved.
1.
I ring him
when I get home from running training
2.
He answers
the phone, seems nice enough and witty banter follows for 4 minutes 26 seconds.
3.
Around the
fourth minutes and 27 second of conversation I ask him about why he lived in
Indonesia.
4.
The
following 42 minutes of ‘conversation (conversation is a loose term as
conversation normally involves two parties conversing – I would really call it
a one-versation) he proceeded to talk down the phone at me not really about
himself (which may have been bearable) however about his opinions on things.
And I am not talking about his opinion on fun or light hearted things such as
lets say why Katy Perry and Russel Brand really broke up I am talking about his
opinion on September 11 and how it was all the American government, and how PR
people are a waste of time (hint: I work in this area, which he knew), and blah
blah blah.
5.
Pretty
much mid one-versation about his amazing thoughts on all this he goes, oh I
have to get going (like he is really important because we all have somewhere
important to be on a Sunday at 10 pm right) and ends the one-versation and
hangs up.
So that is why he gets
the name NN. Sufficed to say we didn’t catch up in person.
