Mr. Green in the Closet with the Revolver

I think I'll follow in the footsteps of the One Timer and write a Halloween themed post for you. Get ready, this story is full of mystery, murder, and well...disappointment.
About a month or so ago my coworker decided to set me up with her cousin, Mr. Green. After a little facebook stalking, I agreed to this plan. After all, I do love a good blind date. Unfortunately, from my experience, only about 10% of blind dates fall into this category. Nevertheless, I decided to hope for the best and try my luck. After Mr. Green called me to officially ask me out, I was actually pretty excited for this date. He seemed really nice and funny. Half of the excitement was that we were going to a Mystery Date Dinner, which I'd never done before, but had always wanted to.
The night of the date, I got all dressed up in my costume and waited for Mr. Green to pick me up. I waited. And waited. And waited. Finally, he showed up 35 minutes late. According to Mr. Green, he had been playing Ultimate Frisbee and forgotten about the date.
Dating Rule #47- If a boy forgets that he asked you out, it's doubtful that your date will go very well.
I overlooked this rule, and decided to still give Mr. Green a chance. He was very easy to talk to, super funny, and overall a really great guy. On the drive to the dinner we had a great conversation, and I felt assured that this would be a night that would end up in the top 10% of blind dates.
When we got to the dinner, we made an alliance with another couple and attempted to discover the murderer. Throughout the evening, Mr. Green kept making awkward comments about how I needed to meet him in the closet to exchange our answers. Weird. Anyway, things were fine until at the end when I'd gotten all my answers, I decided to break all alliances and try to win on my own. He got really offended and went in the kitchen for a while instead of playing games. Woops. I guess some people take these things very seriously. At the end of the night he said he had fun, but he was mad at me because I'd never met him in the closet. I know he was trying to be funny, but it just ended up being really strange. On the drive home, he made several attempts to make the date longer by suggesting that we go get food, go to a dance party, or that he teach me how to drive stick shift. Don't get me wrong, Mr. Green was a great guy and I had had a lot of fun, but after almost 6 hours, he was starting to get on my nerves. I made excuse after excuse after excuse so finally I think he got the hint and dropped me off.

And that ladies and gentlemen was just another night in the 90% of disappointing blind dates.
