A friend of mine told me about a recent date she had been on. I thought these kind of situations only happened in books, movies, and tv shows. I have never heard of anyone I actually knew encountering this particular circumstance.
My friend has been chatting with a guy that comes into her work at least once a week. He's a nice guy and they always talk about movies, news, and other light topics. The other day he asked if she would like to meet up at a coffee shop and then hang out while they ran errands around town. As she was talking to him on their date she found out that he is married and has two children.
But not to worry, he told her they have an unconventional marriage. Apparently, once he reached the age of 30 he was determined to have children. Somehow, he found a woman who was willing to give him a child without all those messy emotions and whatnot. She had the baby and he decided he might as well just marry her. About a year later he decided he wanted another child. So, the two have two children, are married, and live together but don't love each other or even share a room. He mentioned that he explained to his now wife when they got married that he did not love her and never would. He also informed her that he would also not be faithful to her.
By this time my friend was wondering what she had gotten herself into. When the date was finally over, she said goodbye, hopped out of the car, and headed to her own vehicle. As she was walking away, the guy rolls down his window, and (from his car - he didn't even get out) asked, "Hey, don't I get a kiss?" To which she replied, "No."
Needless to say, she will not be hanging out with this man again.
