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

"I guess this is the second time I've actually, like, met up with someone." -- Her. "I never thought you'd message me back again." -- Him
-- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2013

Apparently she messaged women on a dating site looking for friends. I'll never, ever understand that.
-- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2013

Was disappointed when one of the women replied looking to get in her pants.
-- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2013

The only other time (according to her) she met someone from the site he was 45 min late. Dude tonight was 15 minutes late, is apologizing.

"It's like trying to play basketball in a sand pit." -- Him, on frustrations of online dating. #Wut?
-- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2013

"I feel like [women] get tons and tons and tons of messages a day. For me, it's not nearly as overwhelming." -- Him
-- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2013

"I've met a few people on there, some pretty cool people. It's fun, but sometimes fades into oblivion." -- Him
-- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2013

"It's been an interesting social experience for me overall." -- Him #PlanningAnExit?

It's funny how people who online date talk mad shit about everybody else who online dates. #bonding

Now on to less interesting topics: His retired dad's collection of "awesome bomber jackets."

Considering they're drinking tea, this is a MARATHON first date. Goodness, guys, you're not dictating your memoirs.
-- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2013

He's getting weary, replying to things she's saying with a half-paying-attention "Sure" She's going strong, carrying the convo at this point
-- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2013

"I should probably head out pretty soon." -- Him
-- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2013

They're gathering, wrapping things up.
-- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2013

"This has been a lot of fun" -- her
-- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2013

STRONG MOVE!
-- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2013

"Do you want me to walk you home?" -- Him
-- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2013

"Sure." -- Her
-- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2013

The night for these two isn't done, folks.
-- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2013

Out the door they went, into the foggy night. He walking in front of her, ready to whisk her away to her apartment, apparently.
-- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2013

We won't conclusively know what happened, but here's my guess: A kiss at the door, and a second date sometime soon.
-- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2013

Wow, dude really came through with a strong move at the key moment. She told him straight up she had fun, indicating interest...
-- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2013

...and he capitalized with the walk-home offer. I'm surprised it worked out as well for him as it did, given his self-centered performance..
-- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2013

...honestly, I'm not totally sure how to explain her interest in him; romance is mysterious, and she's looking for something serious.
-- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2013

Well, I'm off to home and bed -- best wishes to the happy (?) couple in their future endeavors, with each other or otherwise.
-- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2013

And if you live in Uptown area, be on the lookout for a tall thin long-haired blonde and a trim slightly balding guy with glasses & buzzcut

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.

@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.
