Mr. March

Background
So, Mr. March lives in Frederick so we decided to meet at P.F. Changs in Columbia since that's about midway between us.  I think I was more excited for P.F. Changs than I was to meet Mr. March- that should have been the first sign! He made a reservation for 2 o'clock so we met there about then. He's super tall compared to me (6'2") and he was attractive but not in the super hot sense... he's not bad looking. He's 43 years old, never been married, no kids.  

All the Red Flags
It didn't take long into the conversation for me to be turned off. When we sat down, he asked what I did the night before. I told him "Not much. I rented a couple red box movies and chilled at home." I asked what he did and he informed me that he had a friend over (I'm not sure male or female- I didn't ask) and they were up late talking. I asked what were you talking about that had you up so late.  He said he was talking about philosophical things, like the meaning of life and the universe and what not. B-O-R-I-N-G!!! He also mentioned his sister a couple of times and said that she married a French Dutchman who owns a couple vineyards.  I asked how old his sister is and she's a couple years younger than him. I then asked if they are close and he says "Well, not really anymore."  I was expecting him to say because she lives in France so there's not much time to visit but no he then tells me that she died 4 years ago. Hmmm... ok, weirdo! Why are you talking about her in present tense and that's a strange way to come out with that information! He also mentioned several different friends and all of them were females. I was going to ask him if he had any male friends and why so many female friends but I didn't care that much since I knew this was not a match made in heaven! This is a big red flag for me and this is why.... I have a handful of close female friends but as a whole females are dramatic and hormonal! So what makes Mr. March feel more connected to females than to males? Perhaps he hasn't come to the realization that he sleeps under a rainbow if you catch my drift!  I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that, to each their own but be who you are and not hide from reality! He mentioned that if he ever gets married he wants the whole family, kids deal and he feels like he is ready for kids because he has a puppy and he's very protective over him like a father to a son.  I love my Molly Doo a large amount but I don't compare her to a human child.... she's a DOG! I know there are people out there that treat their dogs like kids but those are usually of the female gender... again, strange to hear a guy talk like this. Not the kind of guy I would be into anyway. I like the fact that he has a dog because that shows he is responsible and not afraid of responsibility but to compare the dog to a kid, kinda creepy! Oh, a song just popped into my head "If happy little blue birds fly, beyond the rainbow.... why, oh why....  can't I?"

The End
He paid for the date, which was AWESOME! Free P.F. Changs is always a good thing! I figured he wasn't feeling the connection either and I probably wouldn't hear from him after we went to our individual cars. I asked if he wanted to walk to Starbucks to grab a coffee before we left and he said sure. I bought the coffee since he bought dinner. He seemed shocked by the fact I was offering to do this.  After we got our coffee, he walked me to my car, said hi to Molly who, of course, was sitting in the car, and then he left.  No hug. No "I'll talk to you/call you later." Just a thanks and it was nice meeting you. It's been 6 days and just as expected I haven't heard from him which is just as well. We didn't have much in common and he seems to have enough female friends to help him through his questions of life's existence. On to Mr. April!!!!
