I went on a date with a millionaire last week. Okay, I don't
actually know that he's a millionaire...but I'm pretty sure. My cyber stalking revealed quite a lot about this guy, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't hoping he would pick me up in his Lamborghini. He picked me up in his Audi instead. It was fun to play rich for the night. He insisted we order one of every single thing on the menu that either of us wanted to try. The food had to be brought out in waves because we ordered way too much to fit on the table. While I don't think either of us would ever choose to go back to that restaurant (Louisiana food in Utah...what a joke) it was definitely a memorable experience. He was attractive and nice, but not really my type. While there was a piece of me that wanted to throw myself at
him his wallet, that "I'm not saying she's a gold digger" song got stuck in my head and it was just so not worth it.
This experience led me to make a minor adjustment to my "meh" dating theory. The theory: Most dates are meh. They are neither good enough or bad enough to make for a good story. Getting out of the meh category is the key to successful dating, and the cure for 1st date boredom. HOWEVER, I would not consider my date with the millionaire an above average date. He was pretty meh. Just an average guy. The food was also pretty meh, maybe even below average. BUT the date did make for a pretty great story. I mean, how often do you order every entree at a restaurant? The new theory: to escape "meh" you must either be a good date, bad date, or rich.
