Was It A Sale?

I suggested to meet Armen at Equator, an eclectic, hip coffee shop in Old Town Pasadena. Why did I choose this place? Because he couldn't think of a location so he left it up to me. (This is a recurring problem and I need to make a mental note to attempt meeting more creative men.)

He doesn't meet me there. Not physically. He calls from his car and says he's having a hard time finding parking and if I can meet him on Colorado Blvd. Feeling ridiculous as I wait at the curb, he pulls up and we chit chat for a moment through the window before he invites me in. Hmmm.

Armen is handsome in a BMOC kind of way -- a type I've never gone for because they usually considered me the friend. He also seemed conceited in a way that I loathe.

To be trusting and nicer than I've been to him, I get in. In retrospect, I should have gone home.

So he ends up taking me to his home. He lives with family. Yes, they were home but no, I did not meet them because they we're already sleeping.

We were watching television and he started to make moves on me, but I was so uncomfortable. It was getting late and I told him I had to wake up early and if he can drive me back.

I've never seen a guy over the age of 10 pout before. As he dropped me off, I remember he was a little rude, but I don't remember what his parting words were exactly.

Wouldn't you know? I didn't hear from him again.

I have a girlfriend who thinks that if I were Armenian, it would have played out differently. She thinks they don't date outside of their culture, and if they do, it's only for fun. I'd argue with that... I have a couple of cousins who married Armenian men. It must depend on the man.

  2. Girl! This has happened to me,,only worse and no, not with an Armenian...Never had the 'pleasure'.. but what does BMOC stand for? aahh the equator!! brings back memories!! bottom line--trust your instincts and one of the best pieces of advcie I've had when I was wondering if i 'overreacted' in a compromising sitch was 'if it feels wrong to you, then it's wrong'... you don't have to convince anyone else.. You rock.. as they say..Next?? :)

  3. C'mon people...everyone knows that BMOC stands for British Motorcycle Owners Club. Honestly..

    I think the bigger question at hand other than "what does BMOC stand for" is: what on earth were you thinking getting into a complete strangers car and letting him drive you wherever he wanted?!?!
