Rudest Date Ever

Having dinner at a popular Italian bistro-style restaurant in my neighborhood, I was shocked by my friend’s behavior. When he picked me up at my apartment he used the bathroom. After ordering our dinner in the restaurant he used the restroom and then after the main course he returned to the restroom again.  Needless to say, he didn’t make me feel special. I assumed the second and third time when he disappeared to relieve himself that he was checking his messages. Three times all in the course of a three hour span. This is not the first time he has left me seated a couple of times during a meal.

At the end of the next date when he’s exhibited the same behavior, take his hand cupped in yours and say, “I’m worried about you, Charlie. Do you have some sort of urinary track infection or do you just need an excuse to check your messages in private?” Confront him head on.
