Coffee shop first date live-tweeted by City Pages blogger, hilarity ensues

By Aaron Rupar Tue., Jan. 29 2013 at 11:21 AM

Date in home stretch, I think. He just vaguely said something about needing to go home & sleep, long day, yada-yada.
-- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2013

My sense is that she's definitely up for a second date, and I think he is too. Though he talks about himself so much it's not totally clear.
-- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2013

He's showing her pictures of his cat on his phone. "He's an arty cat."
-- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2013

@h_linville Ha! I can't say the thought hasn't crossed my mind... would be more tempted if she didn't seem a wee bit smitten with him.
-- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2013

Now he's talking about drama involving his security deposit. Apparently he and his roomies didn't adequately clean the blinds. #BadTopicBro
-- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2013

But she's eating all this stuff up! Now she's sharing a story about bad roommates. Man, she's making it WAY too easy.
-- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2013

He cut her off mid-story, said he "has to go to the bathroom real quick." Is he trying to sabotage this thing?
-- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2013

She's tall with long blonde hair, very into fitness, good style and solid conversationalist. Seems like a nice catch.
-- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2013

He's slightly balding with glasses, stubbly beard, avg height. Fit but not buff. Nerdy style. They don't seem compatible type-wise to me.
-- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2013

@adambelz Hahahah. It's like reading the New Yorker -- just have to imagine how they look based on my prose.
-- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2013

He asked her what she's doing this week, she started talking about her planned cardio workout tomorrow.
-- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2013

He didn't start drinking until he was 23. Says he "had a big vendetta against it... I was worried I wouldn't have control of myself."
-- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2013

He's apparently over that now, though.
-- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2013

"I love apples, they're my favorite. They're the best... juice." -- Him
-- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2013

He's now talking about the dementia his grandma suffered from before she died at 99. #QuestionableFirstDateTopics
-- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2013

He's now talking about the subtle differences between the Icelandic and Norwegian languages. She seems kinda bored with it.
-- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2013

Ooh, she studied Japanese! Immediately, he says, "I studied it for 2 years in middle school" Now he's talking about his Japanese experiences
-- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2013

If this ends successfully for him, I'm going to have to reevaluate everything when it comes to dating. Up is down, black is white, etc.
-- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2013

Even I am now bored with this conversation they're having about arcane aspects of Japanese. Jeez, save something for the second date.
-- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2013

Now they're talking about the morality of monogamy and open relationships. This should be more interesting.
-- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2013

"I went on a date with a woman who was married. Not that I was sexually interested in her or anything, but I just wanted to learn about it"
-- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2013

God, he's so full of shit.
-- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2013

He just name dropped his ex-girlfriend, breaking one my my cardinal rules of first dates.
-- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2013

"I was definitely much more interested in open relationships two years ago." -- Her. Again, she seems like a solid catch.
-- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2013

She's ready for something serious, dude is going out w married women. Timing may not be right but they'll probably have to learn hard way
-- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2013

Now he's going in depth about his ex, who had an eating disorder and was depressed, apparently. #Ugh #NotNowManNotNow
-- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2013

Well, she's now talking about her last relationship... again, I might need to reevaluate. I don't about exes at all for numerous dates.
-- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2013

@atrupar @frankiebi Cafe closed an hour ago. They're both saying goodbye by her car while aaron lurks 3 ft away & live tweets the farewell.
-- Matthew J. Pagano (@mjp4liberty) January 29, 2013

"As a whole, we're not built for the world we've created. We're still in the bodies of our ancestors, but we sit at desks all day." -- Him
-- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2013

She's going to "restroom" again. He immediately reaches in jacket pocket and grabs phone, starts texting. They've gotta wrap this soon!
-- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2013

Now they're talking about pulltabs. Man, at this rate they're going to outlast me.
-- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2013

"One of my favorite photographs I've ever taken was of a guy sitting on a bench at Wisconsin Dells."- Him. "Is it on your site?"- Her.
-- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2013

She's really trying to make this work.
-- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2013

At this point I have to see this through. Really curious to see how the parting exchange goes down. Joint closes at 1.
-- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2013

Here we go! "What brought you to the site?" he asks.

seriously, when the "reporter" is writing articles that are composed entirely of their own tweets from eavesdropping at a coffee shop, there is something rotten in denmark. this is the most pathetic drivel i have ever read. the city pages should really look into hiring some new "reporters" because i think my highschool newspaper had better written and more engaging articles than this...

@thisisbad Ultra Liberalism has poisoned Rupar's mind, and unfortunately, there is no cure.

thisisbad

@keny1 @thisisbad keny take your right wing nut bs somewhere else. rupar's douchtasticness has nothing to do with politics. he's an idiot, regardless of which side of the political spectrum he falls under.

I used to enjoy Aaron's posts but now I am just disgusted by how much of a jerk he is.

Because, y'know, you collected your own tweets and made an article out of it. Wouldn't be surprised if the article idea came to you before the tweets.

Wow. This proves that boring dicks don't finish last. Thank you for this!

Being desparate for friends, my guess is she goes out with him again, but only a couple more times tops until a new online dude peaks her interest and she does it all over again. Eventually she'll meet someone randomly at the gym and tell stories of her awkward dates for years to come.

@Andrea375 its pique, not 'peak', fyi

@samgo4th @Andrea375 thanks! seriously. i hate grammatical errors.

Todd

@samgo4th It is "it's" fyi.

Todd

@samgo4th @Todd Perhaps, but it still makes you seem like a tool. I'm glad that the courts were able to establish a precedent on that one.

No one likes their grammar being corrected nor does anyone like reading about people correcting correcting grammar. You only suffice to irritate people. I feel sorry for you if that is your goal.

I do find it funny that you completely butcher your own grammar while correcting another person's grammar. Sentences have punctuation and some words get capitalized.
