I was talking to this guy on Hinge for a few days and then he said…
Not my norm on hinge but interested in skipping the “get to know each other” over the app and meeting for a drink tonight? Get to know each other in person.
I agreed because the best way to judge your compatibility with someone is in person; however, I wasn’t looking for a hookup. We decided to meet at a brewery outside of Boston. He asked to meet at this specific location because it was closer to his house. Sometimes it’s nice to meet in between, but I was fine with driving this time. After I parked, I saw many people walking around with their dogs. Maybe he’ll come with his dog. I waved as we both approached the beer garden solo.
The date was unremarkable. We had 2 beers and talked about our dogs, music, and work. At the end of the night he asked, “Do you want to meet my dog?”
No dude, I have my own dog at home who’s waiting to see me. I responded “next time.” He walked me to my car and tried to kiss me in the parking lot. There’s nothing I hate more than a make-out in a public place, so I went for a hug instead.
The next day I messaged him my number and he never responded. Guess I was ghosted for not hooking up. 👻
