WHY I DON'T DATE

Bought tickets for an event at the bequest of one girl.
'You can take me there" she had said.

But an old boyfriend would be there, so she chickened out.
"I'm   sorry. I just can't handle it" she had said.
"Thats OK. You dont have to face anything you dont want to face" I said.

I asked two others.
Gina was busy. Venita was out of town.
Two more, Nina and Rina, did not return my calls. 

I asked another, Dina, who said “Have you asked Jenna if she and her son would like to go?”. Apparently, she would like a chaperone, yes? 

So I contacted Jenna, who seemed to be open to the idea. 

So quickly, I bought two more tickets, only to have Dina say “I hate to be a fuddy-duddy, but, a rain check?” 

So I ask Jenna if she is still in, and she says “I told Dina it’s a bad time for me” 

Well, guess what sister? 

It’s a bad time for me too. 

Now I got 4 tickets and I’m down to calling old loves from 16 years ago and girls with boyfriends:
“I need a date tonight. Pays 20 bucks.”
