So I meet this guy “Gabriel” online and we hit it off pretty well. We exchanged emails for a couple weeks and decide to meet. I was pretty excited to meet this guy because he seemed to have a good personality and we had quite a bit in common. We decide to meet at FlatTop Grill in the West Loop. I get there a few minutes early so I can get a drink to help calm my nerves. A few minutes later he walks in and comes over to me. As soon as he spoke I was immediately turned off! This might sound sound awful, but he had an extremely girly sounding voice. It was so unattractive I could not get past it, no matter how the date went.
After dinner we went to the bar to have a couple drinks. Note: I am a smoker and do not hide it what so ever. After a decent amount of time trying to calm my urge for a cigarette, I said I was going to excuse myself for a few minuets to have a quick smoke. He immediately looks at me and says “You Smoke?" I’m like “Um, yeah! I have it listed on my Internet profile!” Then he tries to make a joke of it... "It's not big deal." But get real, if you make a comment about smoking then of course it’s a big deal to you. If you don’t like smokers than you should review profiles a little more carefully. I’m not going to stop smoking for anyone except for myself and, good, bad or indifferent, I still enjoy it so I’m not stopping anytime soon. Needless to say, I didn’t see the girly-sounding, anti-smoker again!
