Had actually been dating this girl for about a month. It was 4th or 5th date and she wanted to go play pool. Which was fine with me as at the time I loved to play pool and had my own cue. So I took her to one of my favorite pool places where we could rent a table by the hour.
We had been there about an hour and stopped to get some food. The place had a bar with food and TV’s all over the place.
We sat down and started eating and talking. Nothing serious, just chatting between bites.
Then she drops this: “You’re one of the weirdest guys I’ve ever met.”
Somewhat shocked I asked why… Her response was that I wasn’t watching the football game playing on all the TV’s.
I took a moment and looked around and sure enough most, if not all the guys in the room were glued to the TV… I looked at the game playing, saw a football game, shrugged and stated that I’ve never been much of a sports fan.
That ended the relationship. We talked a couple more times after that, but we never went on another date. She called me about a month later complaining that some guy she met in a bar won’t return her phone calls. That was the last time I ever spoke to her.
I still don’t watch football, baseball, soccer or basketball. I’m a skydiver, why would I care about some game that only requires one ball?
Even before you were talking about football and baseball I could tell you were US American by going on 5 (five!!) dates before having kissed or fucked lol
I’ll just say it… She was nuts. The sex was OK, but not good enough to deal with crazy. Fortunately, she was not the smartest and the games she attempted to play were all things I had seen before and she had the subtly of a brick. So it was pretty easy to avoid her traps. That probably lead to what happened that night. I wasn’t fulfilling her supply needs and wanted to find an easier target. At least it has made for a good story 22 years later.
Also, It all worked out in the end. About 6 months after the above happened I met the future Mrs. CanopyFlyer. We’ve been married 20 years now and have two kids.
Just for kicks, after posting above I looked up Pool girl on Facebook, she has a fairly unique name. She lives in Boston now, the event above took place in Cincinnati and she is apparently still single 22 years later. At least her profile does not show anyone but her. She is 4 years younger than me so that puts her at 51 single and no family.
I get people not wanting kids. I didn’t until I met Mrs. Canopyflyer so no shade on Pool girl on that, but I cannot imagine still being alone at my age. With that said, I do have a friend that is my age that lost her husband to a heart attack this year. That’s been pretty devastating and I feel so badly for her.

this feels like she was mad at you for not being able to complain about you ignoring her and watching the game.
you paid attention to her and treated her right and she didn’t like that. I’ve been there before.

Hockey has zero balls, 24 sharp pieces of metal moving around at 20-25mph, and a hard chunk of rubber moving at speeds of up to 100mph.
But I get your point.
I have two kids.
Oldest is a figure/ synchronized figure skater
Youngest is a hockey player.
Believe me, hockey is a LOT more civilized than figure skating and especially Synchro.
