Mr. Boring

In December of 2009 I moved from Denver to Cleveland for a job promotion and with the secret hope that perhaps the dating scene out here would be better than in Denver. Well, it is just as difficult here as it is in Denver and the scenery is definitely not as beautiful.

Since moving here I have had a few of the typical dates where I am intersd and he is not or vice versa, but nothing worth sharing. However, about a month ago I started seeing "Mr. Boring" who I met on O.K. Cupid. Now you might ask why I have been out with Boaring seven or eight times and I am ashamed to admit that it was just easy. Moving to a new place can be lonely and it was nice to have someone to go on hikes with. Best of all Boring doesn't expect anythign from me, and with a stressful job that is sometimes really nice.

Boring talks at length about nothing, often times repeating himself two or three times and I just sit and zone out. However lately it has become anoying. Our conversation tonight:

Boring: Hey, just called to see how you are feeling.
Me: Better, I am still tired, but not as sick as I was.
Boring: Are we still on for Sunday?
Me: Yes, sounds good. So, what are you up to tonight?
Boring: After work I mowed the lawn and took the dog for a walk. So, are you still up for doing something on Sunday?
Me: Yes, Sunday is great.
Boring: I took the dog for a walk and it was humid. I mowed the lawn and made some dinner.
Me: Humm
Boring: Are you free on Sunday?

At this point I was ready to shoot myself. So, basically this relationship is as exciting as this blog and now I need to end it which I am really bad at doing. Looks like Sunday is D-day...
