Okay, I'm a big geek when it comes to fish. I have lots to learn, I will be the first to admit that... but i can have a conversation of fish in my tank alone for a gud hour. Trust me, its happened. My friends hate comming to my house cuz of this issue. But it is an issue i have to work on.
Anyway, I know there are alot of closeted fish fanatics out there that know what I am talking about.
Okay, here's the story...
I go on this date at Holiday Restaurant, its pretty cool. Great pizza, ya know. And I am asking these questions trying to get know this person more... i am actually interested in listening (i know girls, a huge stereotypical issue) and he turns the tide: he asks me what I enjoy to do and stuff and I'm like... FISH TANKS! but I know that I would ruin the date with the conversation so I just talk about school and work and people I know and all this boring crap and what I do for 'fun' (i am a closeted fish lover at the time) and he is like, hmmm, actually listening too. (2 for 0) so we talk more, blah blah blah, BLAH BLAH BLAHHHH. and we spark up the conversation with pets. (mind u, we've talked up to this point and our pizza hasn't even arrived yet) i know, pizza... how romantic. SHHH... okay, well as i was saying he sparked up the convo's with his pets: two dogs, two cats and a fish tank at his grandma's house!!! BINGO!!! (he just moved in to a new house with his family so alot of his stuff is still at his grandma's but who cares)...
okay, story getting boring: SO neways, I knew about all his animals cuz i was alreayd at his house but he made the mistake of asking about my animals: A PET COW, A RABBIT, A GERMAN SHEPARD, A MALTESE, TWO CATS and then trying to avoid the fish part went straight to, deceised animals, DUCK, OLD GERMAN SHEPARDS, OLD BIRDS A TURTLE.... ooops, he asks about the turtle interested and then I went into all the aquariums I have ever had. Like the freshwater at my dad's house until my house burnt down and then i moved it to my mom's house and set up fresh and then the five gallon nano tank I have, and the herman crab prison and the 55 gallon soon to be aggressive tank and everything. soon that talk moved to the ocean and what I want to be and the whales and the dolphins and why I don't eat fish and OMG!!! I talked about this all through dinner and till we payed the bill.
hmmm, ne guesses on what happened? He didn't enjoy dinner as much as I did.
Neways, I know I am a geek but I am sure other people have date problems or some related stories. I am very curious on yours cuz i know that I am alone. But man, it would suck if i am the only one with this problem.
