This has been making the rounds on Twitter and given the number of awkward dating threads that have popped up lately I thought GAF would appreciate this.

You had your chance on our first (and only) date. I held the door open for you and bought you dinner at that 5-star restaurant you so slyly worked into the conversation. You looked amazing and I went all out to impress you. You walked through the door I held open for you without a thank you or really any acknowledgement of my little gesture.
I asked you about your hopes and dreams and listened to you bitch about your ex-boyfriend as you ordered that $100 bone-in ribeye and the wine with the fancy vintage you just had to try. You finished the wine but took most of the steak home in a doggy bag. I only now realize that it was the ex-boyfriend you were texting all evening, I hope he enjoyed the steak I bought him. By the way that emergency call you got after dinner didnt fool anyone. Im not stupid, unlike most of the guys youve dated.
I was wonderful to you, I was a gentleman. I treated you with respect, like a lady deserves to be treated. I enjoyed your company and you had my full attention. I didnt expect anything in return except a chance to win your heart. Im stable, Im a good provider, I want marriage and kids in my future. Im the man of your dreams, but you couldnt see that. Or maybe you just didnt care. You were pretty preoccupied with your texting.
But now youre ready to date me? Really? Youll excuse me if Im not jumping for joy. Youve dissed me, rejected me, took advantage of me, dodged my goodnight kiss and couldnt wait to get away from me. Now suddenly you want me? Sorry, Im not buying it.
I get it though, now that youre on the downside of 30, the wrinkles are starting, the body is sagging and you have stretch marks and that c-section scar from pushing out that bad boys rugrat. I know it was impossible to see that that deadbeat irresponsible jerk was actually a deadbeat irresponsible jerk, but thats not my problem. While you were waiting for those texts that never came I was busy getting my career in order and maximizing my credit score. Now my biggest issue is deciding which color Audi Im going to buy. Why in the world would I choose to take on you and your problems?
In your twenties you barely gave me the time of day. Meanwhile you were jumping in bed with any guy with a neck tattoo or a prison record. Why would I date you? I know where youve been, and I hope youve been tested. From the trail of bad boys and the mistreatment you tolerated, no, invited into your life and seeing all the drama you created for yourself, I can only conclude that you dont need a nice guy, you need therapy! Im a simple guy and like my life uncomplicated. You are the human embodiment of drama and chaos, Id have to be crazier than, well YOU to take on your baggage.
Face it, youd get sick of me and my nice guy ways. Ill remember your birthday and our anniversary and Ill buy you flowers on both. Ill treat you with respect and youll get bored. I know damn well youre going to end up cheating on me, and I dont plan on giving you half my stuff when you do. I work hard for what I have and now that Ive achieved a little success I would love someone to share my life with. But thats not going to be you. You thought I wasnt worthy of you back then and I feel youre not worthy of me now.
Now that the bad boys have used you up and moved on to women 10 years younger, so have I. Its a funny thing, now that Ive achieved a little success, drive a nice car and have stability in my life, Im getting attention from those girls too. I dont need you anymore. Im not in the mood to deal with you, your issues, or your ex and his issues. Im not looking to help you raise the mini-me version of some guy you used to bang. I want my own children someday, not the offspring of Mr. Neck Tattoo.
Truth is though, Im happy for you. I really am. Its about time you matured and came to your senses about the thugs and losers you just couldnt resist. But I wasnt sitting by the phone waiting for you to realize Im a great guy. I wrote you off long ago. Youve learned some important lessons and so have I. In fact you taught me one, you taught me not to date girls like you.
Speaking for the nice guys out there, youre too late.
We want a good girl not some bad boys leftovers. And the fact that youre still out there dating tells me the bad boys dont want you either. Enjoy dressing your cat up for Halloween and cherish your bad boy memories, I hope they keep you warm at night. Im just not that into you anymore.
