Bachelor #5 is not a very exciting story whatsoever. I had just gotten back from Europe and I took a few extra days off from work to adjust to the time change. I was actively ignoring Bachelor #4's incessant texts asking if I was back to the motherland, when I began suddenly corresponding with Bachelor #5 on Match. We were emailing and texting back and forth multiple times one day and he asked me if I wanted to grab some dinner. I figured "What the hell, I'm not doing anything tonight" so I agreed to meet him up at a Mexican place on 3rd St. Promenade in Santa Monica since he worked down there. Again, I was being way too accommodating which I know not to do moving forward.
So I got there a bit early and ended up wandering around Pier 1 (which I love doing) and then he had walked over from his office to this Mexican place and let me know he was there. So I got there, and once again, I was very underwhelmed by his appearance- particularly the face. It's really a scam with these men online. They are posting pictures that are not recent and they are much older looking (and not so attractive) in person. He was nice, but not too exciting. I really can't even remember much of what he talked about. He paid for dinner at least and as we were leaving he asked me if I could drop him off at his apartment which was nearby because his car was in the shop. I was like "ummmm ok" hence the name "Need a Lift." I know what you're thinking. IDIOT! Why would you let a stranger in your car? Honestly there was no part of him that was threatening, and he wasn't very tall. So really, what could he do? Again, a lesson I have learned so get off my back.
Well a few days later he actually texted asking me out again, but immediately after the date I deleted his number because I never anticipated hearing from him again (nor did I care to). So I didn't even know at the time who was asking me out again. That's the extent of this story (I warned you it wasn't that interesting).
