  • Why Yes, I Would Love to Date a Criminal

    Yesterday I picked my little sister up from school, and she ran to my car and jumped in.  When I asked her what happened to make her so excited, she exclaimed, “Sissy, there is a guy that likes you!”  Should this have planted a huge smile on my face?   She went on to tell  me her best friend recommended this guy and had already given out my number.  I rarely give my number to anyone, let alone complete strangers, so I was a bit annoyed. 

    As the day went on, the thought of this guy had slipped my mind until I received a call.  It was him.  I was polite and explained I didn’t know what the mischievous girls had said to him, but I wasn’t interested in dating anyone.  He was quick to reply that neither was he, which turned out to be completely false.

    The conversation was pretty typical of this:

    Dude: Are you one of those dumb broads that are all judgmental and shiz?
    Me: Ummm, no?
    Dude: Oh dat’s good, cuz you know I’m like a f***ing trouble maker and shiz and I need a chick that can put up with me.
    Me: I’m not interested.
    Dude: I went to prison for breaking into people’s houses and stealing shiz.  Are you still ok with dating me even though I went to prison?
    Me: *stifling laughter* I don't see myself dating you, ever.
    Dude: Oh and I have a kid too.  Think you could be a good mom to my son?  That’s really important if we are going to be together.
    Me: Are you hearing me?  I said I’m not going to date you!  Sheesh.
    Dude: I street race illegally when I get drunk.  That’s how I wrecked my car.  Do you think you could drive out to see me tomorrow?
    Me: Seriously, you are getting on my nerves.  I tried being nice, but you aren’t listening to me.  I will never date you, ever!  Stop trying to see if we are compatible, because we aren’t.  Don’t ever call me again.
    Dude: What does compatible mean?

    *click*

    I did not exaggerate the conversation on any level.  I hung up on him and I was beyond annoyed.  I felt mean for hurting his feelings, yet if I had been any nicer, he would have kept going.  He forced me to be rude.  Maybe he needs someone to care for him.  I can understand people do things in their pasts and move on from that to better themselves, but this guy openly admitted he is presently a criminal.  I have higher standards for the guy I choose to date. 

    I’m going to choke my sister, but first I need to know:  Am I just a dumb broad that is all judgment and shiz?
