My date last evening

[ZaraJah]

He was a blind date, set up by my friend who INSISTS that I jump right back into the "dating scene" since my long term relationship ended (by me) a few months ago.

Even though I told her that I didn't feel ready, inspired or generous at the moment, she insisted...so I surrendered

I must admit, the guy was very handsome and since I had heard so much about him and have spoken with him a few times, I was looking forward to meeting him. He is tall, dark and very handsome...just the way I like MY MEN. Athletic build, bald with midnight-blue eyes. He dressed immaculately and smelled like a man who knows his cologne. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70458-applaud.gif[/img]

He boasts a solid background, well educated (both academically and the streets of hard knocks) and is highly regarded in his field. The man was FINE.

He bought me flowers and a book "The Secret" and the conversation was on point. We went to a great restaurant, had a delicious dinner and really had a fantastic time.

When it was time to say our goodbyes, he walked me to my door, and we embraced - I trusted him as he is well known in my county, is an upstanding citizen as well as my friends good friend. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smirk.gif[/img]

He was a pure gentleman. He suggested that we go out again soon and I agreed that it would be great...

As soon as I entered my house, my cell phone rang and it was him. My first thought was, *what a gentleman* . There was a change in his voice however, an urgent change. I immediately said "are you ok"? he barely responded but said "please, I need to use your bathroom". [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek2.gif[/img]

I didn't know what to do. My babysitter was standing in the hallway and saw the look on my face. I normally DO NOT invite dates into my home, but what to do? I thought, the downstairs bathroom can't hurt.

Well...

He did not make it. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek2.gif[/img] [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek2.gif[/img]

I still can't say what and when it actually happened, because all I can remember was opening the front door and pointed in the direction of the bathroom.

I was otherwise in a state of shock...not to mention my poor babysitter who I believe is still in shock.

He raced into the bathroom and after about 15 mins of what sounded like a huge truck crashing into a house made of hard plastic, everything went completely silent.

I am not going to lie, I was scared ishless...no pun intended. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70361-embarassed.gif[/img]

My babysitter who is from Poland and about 30 something, motioned for me to knock on the door, but I refused. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek2.gif[/img]

She then went and knocked and he barely responded...a very weak, strained response. I asked him if he was ok and he said "somewhat" to which I did this [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/scareyuh.gif[/img]

I then decided that "do or die" I had to do something, so I opened the door. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/crybaby.gif[/img] [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/crybaby.gif[/img]

Let's just say, I had to almost hose down the bathroom with Pine Sol and Dettol. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif[/img] [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif[/img]

Was it the food, the drink or a bad bout of poison? I still don't know, but all I can say is, he is in the hospital right now. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif[/img] [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif[/img]

So selfish question is, would you have the courage to go out with him again, if he gets the courage to ask? [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif[/img]

Re: My date last evening

He might be ashamed to ask or embarassed might be a better word but I would let him know I was still interested (assuming you are)so that he wouldn't feel bad to ask you out again. So you didn't get sick to? What did he have? Are you going to visit him in the hospital?

Re: My date last evening

Yes for sure go out with him again.... poor guy!

Re: My date last evening

Poop or puke?

Since he is hospitalized, I would say he got some serious food poisoning, and projectile vomiting &/or explosive diarrhea is not typical first date behavior. I would think that he is too embarrassed to ask you out again after what you witnessed. Have you called the hospital to see how he is feeling?

I mentioned her nationality, but just realized that I left out how she tried to ask him if he was ok but "he" could not understand what she was saying because she asked in Polish and English. She then said, when she is scared she forgets her English. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cry.gif[/img]

No, I was not affected by the food. I did feel sick about the whole thing, if that counts. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smirk.gif[/img]

He had shrimp scampi. Spinach tortelli which also had shrimp, sea scallops, fresh clams and fish served over linguini in a marinara & vodka cream sauce all mixed up. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/hungry.gif[/img]

No, I will not visit him in the hospital as he will be discharged today.

Both. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/helpsmilie.gif[/img]

Yes, I called the hospital early this morning. I was really worried about him all night, so very little sleep. I've never experienced anything like that before, and actually thought he was going to die in my bathroom. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cold.gif[/img]

He will be out today, thank God. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70384-praying.gif[/img]

Thanks all. ((((Jamaicans.com)))))
