     How a date can go wrong.

What can guys do to royally screw up a date? Every woman has her stories. Some are funny, some hair raising, and some you want locked up in a big vault, never to be reminded of again. Common manifestations of this male ignorance stem from either lack of independence, disinterest, irrefutable arrogance and/or plain stupidity.

There is always that guy who forgets his wallet. While this is the era of women's equality, and I pay for myself and others as much as I get paid for, I don't intend on buying lobster for the guy who just told me that he's not really looking for a relationship with anyone in particular, he more or less likes to play the field. This may also be the guy who still lives at home, or the guy who can't drive because of his recent DUI. Come on buddy, get your act together. At least you can try to make yourself appealing. I was hoping to at least score second base without feeling like a sell out in the morning.

Then there is the disinterested one. You are not sure why he asked you out considering he has paid more attention to the water droplets on his drink than to you. You are your usual charming, witty self, but he is unimpressed, possibly de-pressed. You almost welcome his flirting with the waitress/your friend/ and innocent passerby to know he still has a pulse. To make yourself feel like the date was not a total waste of time, you start probing him for information on any of his friends or colleagues who may be possible future suitors. He either doesn't realize it or doesn't care, and you both end up lying in separate beds until wee hours of the morning.

My personal favorite though, is the guy who REALLY wants you to know what a player he is. Does he do this to insulate himself from future scorn of your unreturned calls (I TOLD you I am a bastard)? Or maybe he is trying to protect himself from really getting close to someone. I think mainly this guy is just so narcissistic that he really believes you want to hear the story about how he was with two sisters for a month before either caught wind. A twist to this story is when the guy hooks up with someone else during the date. This may be a somewhat common occurrence, but please guys, DON'T call the next day for a second date. I can promise you she will be less than amused.

However, although we all have our stories about that guy who resembled "insert name of pop culture individual", the common screw up is always that he was just the wrong guy. That's the real problem, isn't it? That's why there are so many beautiful, intelligent, independent women out there. We are not closed, frigid, man-haters. We are just looking for that guy who can hold his own, endear himself to us, and won't make us kick ourselves in the morning.
