wednesday guy

i usually pride myself on being able to filter the guys that i talk with online before i meet them in person. you can usually tell after a few conversations if you're going to be able to stand being near them for any period of time in person. i have learned, though, that some people are adept at masking themselves, only to show their true colors after a first meet.

wednesday guy and i met for coffee at tim horton's. my first clue that something was off should've been when he admitted that he didn't really drink coffee and ordered a chocolate milk. i'm not entirely sure what grown man drinks chocolate milk at any time other than in the comfort of his own living room, but whatever, i went with it.

i'd been talking to wednesday guy for quite awhile online, and i was really into him. or the him that he had presented to me. we sat in my car and talked for awhile, and at that inevitable moment of awkward silence, he leans over for a kiss. i don't object.

and then....

he bites me.

like, hard.

on the neck.

i pull back in shock. have i met a vampire? he's grinning, like i'm supposed to be instantly turned on. the moment is ruined. i'm now faced with a real problem - do i ask him to leave? do i slap him? do i get out of the car? wait, it's my car. i shouldn't have to get out of the car. thoughts race through my head. i'm not the best at hiding my feelings, and i'm sure my disgust was written all over my face. he mutters something and then leaves. i drive home. i ignore his texts.

and it got me to wondering - first of all, who was the girl that enjoyed his biting so much that he managed to somehow get the impression that it was a good idea for all women? what sort of kinky shit was she into? and secondly, at what point do you confess your weird fetishes to the other party? i mean, had it ever been brought up that he was into biting, my immediate response would have been, "reaaaally don't like being bitten." i believe in honesty, above all things. so a simple conversation could've avoided the annoyance. then again, there's also the idea that some things shouldn't be shared right away.

i feel like i should be creating a checklist here. question 1: do you have any sort of weird sexual fetishes that you're going to be busting out and blindsiding me with on the first date? if yes, proceed to the door.
