Not just an engineer :P

I have a short story to narrate. 

I went out on a date a few months ago, it was Easter I believe. I was tired and overwhelmed by that week, so I was not in the perfect mood, I was not really interested, I was more passive and I wanted just the time to pass so I can go home and sleep. 

The interesting part of this story was not the date per se. It is the way I understand how people work. Apparently, I was very hard to read at that point. Because I did not react to anything, I replied very shortly and I did not talk much. So that left space for the other party to talk a lot and go through so many different stages. Alcohol might be the one to blame, but poor him, it was so pathetic. 

And so interesting for me to see all these changes of the behaviour in three beers. 

So, in the beginning, he was looking for love and someone to cuddle, he was not interested in sex and  he preferred a good night hugged than the sexual intercourse. He was just a person who has been studying for 10 years, because he has been the best student in Sweden and he got tired of studying and learning. An engineer if I may add. 

The next moment, he was a crazy movie lover, he was a big fan of Nolan's movies and his favourite one was Interstellar. He talked about the movie for around 40 minutes (I did not mind, I did not interrupt and I was interested to see how much a movie can mean to a person). He asked me my top 5 movies, I could not reply to that, because I was too tired to think, but his interpretation was that I have yet to find a movie that makes me exited. Fair point, but whatever. 

When I manage to say that I have watched some Oscar movies lately and I have some impressions about those, he disgraced Oscars and he said that since Interstellar did not win, Oscars are not to be trusted. And that the rewards should go to movies that are widely accepted as it is in IMDb for example. There I quit of course. I am not confident to discuss something with someone that has already got prepared answers and opinions for everything, and I don't mean that I do not like to talk to people who have different opinion compared to mine. I mean that it does not add any value to just move your lips and independently of your words, the answer is the same. That is a monologue with pauses, not a discussion. So there. Every movie I mentioned was not even close to good (I mentioned that I liked the unrealistic love story of Passengers) then the attack started because engineers are smart people who should be able to solve problems and he can solve every problem (except how to impress me but don't tell him that)- and that was the justification of not liking Passengers. And he said that the Martian was better. Sure, whatever, I hadn't watched the Martian back then, I guess I cannot compare them but perhaps it is better but I will not give my life for this argument. 

So intelligence came into the picture. And obviously, he is very smart since he has many masters (still studying his bachelor for 10 years, he is 32, do the maths), he is accepted to MIT, and when I asked if he refers to the same MIT as Barney Stinson for How I met your mother (he is a great fan), he said of course NOT, THE MIT. I said ok, and felt sorry that I was not that impressed by his unleashed cleverness and success. He repeated that he could not read me but he saw that I am using my moves. When I tried to understand what he meant, I realised that he meant me leaning forward. I have to tell you at this point that the music was so loud that I did not hear myself speaking, let alone him. But of course his smartness was only applied to engineering, not fluffy sciences like psychology. :P Funny guy. So my leaning on the table could not be interpreted as omg I am that tired that I could die now, nor like I cannot hear a thing in this stupid place that you chose to bring me.

Long story (again) short, it was AMAZING, and extremely IMPRESSIVE, to see the last stage of his behaviour which was attacking my confidence and opening his cards by showing the real intention. So, he said that he had to go because he would meet a fuck buddy that he had arranged to meet after our date. And that he was not interested in me anymore and that he would need to meet that other girl and have fun since he is THAT open. Hahaha. When I did not react to that either, I mean who cares, he suggested we watch a movie. I said yes sure, just to get rid of him. But he meant that night. So I asked, don't you have to meet that girl tonight? And then he admitted that he preferred to spend the night with me cuddling and watching movies than having sex with that other girl. Back to the beginning, in other words. Oh my. Oh my. I can assure you that this was just desperate. This is how the word is defined. For me, it was a very tiring night out, to a place I did not like, with a person that I did not meet again (dahhh) and that I could dedicate 7,5 hp to study his behaviour and his reaction, together with a behaviour expert. :)

Any comments?
I am out! :P
