New Guy # 1: "R"

R had 10 strikes against him before I met him at Starbucks tonight. I mean...there was the sleepy/drunken-look photo, the WAY TOO MANY emails, which now, in retrospect makes sense. Maybe we rushed things. Our first call was today, and we met today. We spoke briefly in the morning. Then, we spoke in the afternoon, around 3p.m. and said I was on my way to Costco for a couple hours, but could meet up with him afterwards, i.e., around 5p.m. He said okay, he had to be at the airport at 8p.m. I call back at 5:30p.m. and said let's meet up if he still has time. He said okay, but had wasn't ready and had to shower first. Huh?! All along, he seems super sleepy-tired, but I can't really tell if he just talks like that. Did I wake him up at 3 PM? Apparently I did. He shows up late (but he did call to say he would be right there). He shows up with hair spiked-in-the-middle, 2 inches high. It's 6:50 p.m. and he had previously said he should leave around 7-ish to pick up his friends from the airport by 8p.m. He's not very talkative, is he just sleepy-tired? Have I mentioned that before? He took 2 phone calls during our conversation. His friends called to say they were waiting at the airport for him. (The airport is 30 miles away) I said he should go. He said "naw". I'm sure he meant well by me, but what I saw was complete flaking on his friends. BUT, he did text message me right after to say "You seem like a cool gal." Awh....
