Another Awkward First Date

May 18, 2010

I mean, you did suggest we meet at a wine bar

And then after college I spent a couple of years in the Peace Corps, stationed in Honduras, and…

So, what’s your impression of Kinsey’s work?

I’m sorry, who?

Alfred Kinsey? He was a sex researcher, he… I’m sorry, I interrupted. Peace Corps? Honduras?

Yes, and then afterwards I came back and worked with Habitat for a couple of years and then…

Kinsey did a pretty exhaustive survey of human sexuality back in the fifties. He’s pretty famous. Are you sure you never heard of him?

Why would I have heard of Kinsey?

Everybody’s heard of Kinsey. If you take freshman psych…

I didn’t take freshman psych.

Okay. I find that hard to believe, but… please, continue.

Where was I?

Habitat for Humanity.

Okay, so then…

Okay, look. I’ve dated three guys that didn’t end up being into girls. I’m a magnet for the non-straight.

You think I’m gay.

I’m just asking. Kinsey scale. No fucking around here.

I’d say I’m about a four and a half.

I knew it.

Maybe a four.

I’m leaving now.

Would you stay if I said three?

Honey, if a guy admits he knows about the Kinsey scale, there isn’t a chance in hell.

I guess we won’t be splitting the bill?

You guess correctly.
