“Jumping Jack Flash”


It was a POF online dating site that I met this person on. Real cute and very persistent so I decided to give him a chance. We decided to meet at a restaurant/bar within walking distance from my place. I got there first, ordered a drink, paid for it and waited patiently. The meeting time had passed by a few minutes and I was starting to think maybe I didn’t know Jack and I should just leave so I walked out front of the restaurant bar and noticed him walking up. I was happy with his appearance as he looked exactly like his photos.
When our eyes met he looked pleased to see me as well and we shook hands and walked back into the bar and sat down. I immediately smelled nicotine on his breath and I remembered his profile specifically said he was a non-smoker. Maybe I really didn’t know Jack after all? I decided to be polite and the bartender came over and he ordered a drink. Then I ordered another one as well.
We talked and seemed to get along well and then I needed to use the restroom so off I went when I returned he says to me all of a sudden out of nowhere he says to me “Let’s get out of here and go down the street” so I decided OK I will go to another bar with him and see how it goes.. Again, I didn’t know Jack! We got off of our bar stools and proceeded to walk out the door and down the street. About a minute later here comes the bartender running out after us saying “Sir, Sir you didn’t pay the bill”! At this point I am totally embarrassed and he pulls out his wallet I noticed no credit cards and a $20 dollar bill. I have no idea how much the tab was but he reluctantly handed her the $20 dollar bill and turned around and started walking. Mind you I noticed that was all the money he had… I was totally embarrassed and thought to myself “what a Jack ass”….
We proceeded to the next bar, had a drink from his friend the bartender which we didn’t get charged and I told him I had to go. I walked home from there not even believing what I had just went through….
Moral of the story, when they lie about smoking or any other significant lifestyle and don’t have enough money to pay for a date DUMP him and MOVE ON….. There are plenty of fish on POF….Hit the Road jack!
