This starts off as a complete dating horror story that has a very sweet ending.
Lisa works for a tech start up company in the Toronto area and as is the norm, she was one of the only women in her entire office, which led to many unwanted advances and flirtation. This all changed when someone new entered the office. According to her, there was an audible swoon when this piece of man meat, came into the office.
It began as innocent flirtation, she really didn't want to get involved with a co-worker and she had just gotten out of a pretty intense 4 year relationship. But when he asked her to go out for drinks, she literally jumped at the chance (hey, she hadn't been laid in a while). They planned on meeting at a bar of a trendy downtown hotel, where she arrived 5 mins early. 30 mins later, he had still not shown up and Lisa was starting to panic; "what would happen the next day at work?" " would it be awkward to see him after he stood me up?" So to keep from thinking, she started drinking, and drinking and was joined by some other people in the bar.
An hour later than the agreed upon time, he showed up, and told her that he had taken a nap and had forgotten to set an alarm. She couldn't blame him for that. So he said why don't we just have another drink here and then go to the party I was talking about at work. She agreed, and he ordered 6 drinks for himself on her tab, when it was time to pay for the bill, he looked at her innocently and said "well since the tab was already open, I thought you should pay for the drinks, it only makes sense."
Well at this point, Lisa was fuming, but in her mind he was hot enough for her to let it slide. And she really wanted to have sex
They arrive to an already packed party, where Lisa is hastily introduced to a bunch of his friends. 30 mins into the party, her date disappears and she's left to roam through the party by herself. She starts talking to a nice guy that she recognized from her office but didn't know very well and asks him if he has any idea where her date might be, "oh, he's probably in a room having sex with his ex-girlfriends, he tends to do that." Well this was the last straw, she refused to be used and disrespected like that, so she decided she wanted to leave. The nice guy she had been talking too offered to split a cab with her since they were headed in the same direction. He seemed nice enough, so she agreed.
Once in the cab, she started to feel sick, and with no where to throw up. In a panic, she opened up the window and started throwing up while the cab was driving and the new guy was patting her back awkwardly. It was definitely not the prettiest scene. When they arrived at her apartment, nice guy helped her up the stairs and out her into bed. He stayed with her all night and helped her throw up when she needed too.
The next morning, she found him asleep on the couch and came to the realization, maybe I noticed the wrong guy after all.
Lisa and James have now been together for a year, how cute is that?
Happy anniversary you 2! <3
