Clueless Guy: Best Reasons for Dating Him

Clueless Guy

Babs: {surprised} “I’d love to get a bite and catch a movie. I’ve been wanting to see that new one with…”

Conclusion

This is the ice-breaker date. The one Laid Back and Babs never would have enjoyed if Babs was too pissed off to answer the phone. Or if Laid Back, a master procrastinator with a few insecurities about online dating, had never gotten around to calling.

Laid Back is thrilled with himself for having the guts to call Babs back. What’s even better, he knows Babs wouldn’t be waiting for his calls. She’s booked up ahead of time. Unlike him, she has a life. He likes that about her.

Senior Men Won’t Date Senior Women

Babs is glad about a few things too. She’s happy she went out with one or two other men when she didn’t hear from Laid Back. She likes the idea that she was right about Laid Back; he was into her.

He needed a little time.

As for the clueless part? Laid Back is a fast learner.
