If Your Friend Was Undatable, Would You Tell Them?
Some people have a character flaw that makes them highly undatable.
And I don’t mean moral flaws. Severe moral flaws obviously disqualify. A friend of mine discovered that her boyfriend steals kid’s toys and resells them. That was the end of him, and rightfully so.
But some people have a character flaw that doesn’t make them morally bad, just impossible in some way.
Why Max Was Undatable
I was 23. I met a good looking guy in a bar. He worked out. He smelled nice.
The bar was loud. I couldn’t make out what he is trying to say. But I could tell he had an accent.
“Where are you from?” I asked.
He said it three times but I couldn’t figure it out.
“Louder!” I yelled.
“Austria!” he yelled.
Indeed the accent sounded like Arnold’s.
He scribbled “Max” and a number on the back of a peeled beer label and gave it to me. I wrote my digits on his arm.
Max called the next day. I couldn’t hear him very well. I wondered whether he is speaking quietly or if there is a problem with the line. I suggested we meet at La Café, A trendy café on College Street.
