Cracker Barrel may be a favorite locale for old people but I like it. The food is good, that little gift store has some neat things, it is a relaxed atmosphere, and they have checkers. Nevertheless many of the people I talk to feel it's not the best place for a date. This was disappointing as it was where Suzy and I had date number two yesterday.
It was her idea go to there. I was rather excited that she thought to go there. Despite the odd first date, the last week we were still talking frequently. We were actually supposed to meet on Thursday for putt-putt dinner and a movie but I got stuck on a trip for work. So Saturday had to do. Also I noticed she deactivated her online account. That was a promising sign about how she felt about our relationship. I drove on down and met her at the restaurant. And happily, she was definitely more awake this time and much chattier. While we looked over the menu and the waitress took our drink orders we chit-chatted about each other trying to get to know one another better.
After we placed our orders, and I was enjoying my orange juice she said that she wanted to break things off now because she is Protestant and I am Catholic and she's not converting and neither am I. Well that's not the first I've heard that before, so I didn't get too upset by it, and was grateful she was up front about it from the beginning.
During this time she told me she is going to try and get back with her ex-boyfriend who is single again. He lives in Europe. Up to this point I thought I was merely competing for the attention of girls from guys in about a 200 square mile radius. But apparently I have to consider guys on the other side of the planet too. Nothing like the Atlantic is going to keep love from happening. That would also explain the deactivated account.
And this is probably where it was a good idea to come to Cracker Barrel because I ordered the Country Fried Steak and despite my now soured mood, it and the apple sauce side I ordered considerably helped the situation.

?! That is messed up. You call someone to tell him that, you don't go on a date and say it at the beginning of the date. Good riddance to her!
