Text Convo with a Dude

Background: We matched on a dating app and exchanged numbers.

Dude: Hi Quinn, it's Dude.

Me: Hey there Dude!

Dude: How's it goin

Me: Pretty good! I have a dentist appointment in a bit. Fun stuff. How about you?

Dude: Keep that smile as pretty as it is for our wedding photos ;) :-D I can't complain.

Me: Wedding photos? lol good one. Working today?

Dude: I'm in the middle of getting a new job so I have a lot of down time!

Me: What kind of a job are you looking for?

(21 hours goes by)

Me: Too big of a question?

Dude: I'm sorry but I'm not interested in being with someone who already has kids. I wish you good luck.

Me: Your loss. My mini me is awesome. You should change your mind ;)

Dude: Well I kind of want to raise an army

Me: I can manage a herd :)

Dude: Can you birth a herd though lol

Me: What do you mean?

Dude: Like how many more babies are we having

Me: 3?

Dude: We better start soon then lol

Me: That's right haha

Dude: When

Me: You could start by asking me on a date :)

Dude: Hmmm. Do you have a butt to go with the army?

Me: Is that how you ask ladies out?

Dude: Making sure you qualify before something I invest in and cant get back - time.

Me: Hmm interesting approach

As soon as he expressed disinterest in dating a mom, I was done, but I find it my personal mission to take the opportunity to teach people how to be better humans, albeit in small ways, so I responded even though I was no longer interested.

And he proceeded to show how much of a good human he is!

Asking about my butt before being willing to agree to a date?! Asking if I could birth a bunch of babies at age 37 is an insult. Especially since he was 36... Testing women with their questions? Manipulative.

Talk about a waste of time. This is the single scene in 2024. Deep breath. In-out.
