Because I know you all are interested, I managed to keep my vow very easily last night and this is why.

Date was not very attractive - tall, not ugly, but strange habit of making a weird face once in a while. Also did not look me in the eye.

Conversation was painful. I was doing most of the question-asking and carrying the conversation. Then, he asked me what I like to do on the weekends. So I said that most weekends these days I box for several hours on Saturday morning and he says:

"Boxing? Really? that's so vulgar. Women shouldn't box. Especially pretty women that look like Audrey Hepburn. It's so vulgar."

So I just stared at him thinking wtf. And I said that I didn't think it was vulgar at all, and it's a lot of fun, and I enjoy it a lot and I'm into it.

Awkward silence.

Then he says, "So, you're from Canada?" and I asked him if he had ever been there. And he said that he had been to Mont-Tremblant, but it was so cold that he stayed in the hottub most of the time.

And by then I couldn't take it any more, and although I'm generally very sympathetic to people who don't like cold weather, I was pissed, so I said "hmm. Well, I'd much rather be vulgar than a big pussy who can't take the cold."

Then I said I had to go feed my cat. And I gave him $ for my drink and left.

That's 37 min of my life I'll never get back.

I admire that you can so quickly and bluntly end a date. I always feel sorry for the person and dull the pain they are causing with alcohol until its a proper date ending hour. I like your system.
