[...] in NYC in August that I want to go to, so she’s in for that too! She told me about her date with Single Steve (another San Diego dating blogger) and how things didn’t really work [...]

Read your version, read Steve’s version — and um, I think we’ve discovered why Steve is single. Homeboy needs to upgrade the car and lifestyle to find a girl that fits his expectations.

People keep saying what a great guy singlesteve is… probably, his blog seems interesting enough… but the fact he couldn’t get over your height is really, really annoying. As a 5’9″ girl I can relate. If Steve can’t turn off his ‘joker’ mode, even for a second, that doesn’t help either. My guy is 5’8″ and is never intimidated by me or my heels. Hopefully you’ll find an awesome confident guy one day – or just a really tall one!

I’m 5′-10″ tall, even when I do meet a woman who is taller than me, I don’t have any issues with it, in fact, it usually puts me in an advantageous position during slow dances, hugs, etc……….what an idiot that guy is! Besides the fact that he kept mentioning your height, he seemed to be the one who was obsessed…..with your height! And SUBWAY????? Who takes a first date to SUBWAY??? Reminds me of an old co-worker who was trying to be a player….he took a girl to, and I swear this is the truth….”E-Z Take Out Burger”, it used to be on Genesee just north of Balboa…..I took MY date, and yes, it was also a first date, to Fillippi’s in Pacific Beach for a nice candlelight dinner, and when she needed to put gas in her car, I got out and pumped it for her (which I still do for her, some 16 years later!).

Anyway, Love your blog Lori, great insight and humor!

I don’t understand how difficult it is for dudes to have some class. If the date is not going well there’s no need to be a dick. It’s just a couple hours out of your life.

Maybe I am blessed that my mother raised me properly.

Had he tanken you to the restaurant I suggested (and wore the helmet cams), things obviously would have gone better…

So.. I have to say it, after reading both blogs I have come to a conclusion.

You are both to blame for this mess. What kind of self-absorbed nutbag tweets WHILE ON AN EFFING DATE.

Oh sorry perspective match, I gotta update my shit about whatever tiny flaws I’ve found in you so far.

Steve, get over the height thing. Single Girl (who I don’t know in real life) you don’t strap on your war boots when you are going to meet someone who wont shut the eff up about how he is self-conscious about his height.

The mistake you both made was dragging your blog persona along with you. Be real people next time, don’t tweet until AFTER the date, and you may be pleasantly surprised.

Hey, love both sides of the date, quite the stories… I knew it would be quite the clusterfuck of a date after seeing Steve’s site and reading some of his posts, quite funny sometimes, but def not a guy that you Lolo would take to very kindly

I think he’s a jester, making fun in times of surprise or nervousness, and unfortunately doesn’t come across very well, esp on a date when both are tweeting away how they really feel.

I do applaud Steve’s apparent humor over the situation, and for still paying for dinner after knowing it’s gone downhill. It was a great try, and a great story.

First of all, Lori I love your blog. Its so entertaining – and I enjoy following along with your adventures. This one was just a little ridiculous, but you did say to refrain from saying any mean things – so maybe I’ll give you my full thoughts in person.

For now I just wanted to stop by and say you rock, you deserve so much better than a guy who tweeting trash about you, while you’re sitting with him. That spells c-l-a-s-s all the way. You’re a DIVA now, and you’re getting ready to take over the world.

Mr. Right will show himself when you are ready for him. For now you need to go on these dates and report back to the masses so when you do meet mr right, you will appreciate him that much more. love ya girly

Love the story……..we should all be thanking single steve for the date as he gave you some new writing material that may help someone else out in the future…….so for that “Thank You Steve”
