He was kind and well-spoken, and we had gone on four or five dates before he invited me over to his home.
I'd known him for almost a month and was ready for this next step to start dating outside of the public scene.
I drove over to his house at six thirty, where he said he would have a nice homemade dinner ready for us.
Driving up to his house, there were two cars in the driveway.
I never asked if he had roommates or anything, so I thought maybe that's what this was.
I didn't see it as a bad thing, but just something that he should have told me before coming over.
I drove back around and parked on the curb in front of his house.
I walked up to the door and rang the doorbell.
[doorbell ringing] John opened the door quickly with a big smile and invited me in.
Upon first look, the appearance of his home really put me off.
I'm not some girl looking for a rich guy to be my sugar daddy or anything, but I do like a well-put-together man.
This house almost looked like a hoarder's house.
Trash everywhere, random things tossed on the furniture, and barely any room to walk.
I faked a smile and followed him into the kitchen, trying not to let him notice my disgust.
By now, I'd already decided in my mind that this probably isn't the right guy for me, but I didn't want to be disrespectful and fully commit to ending things after just seeing his house for the first time.
The kitchen was less messy, seeming like it had been cleaned up recently.
On the table were two plates of food, but after seeing the place, I didn't have an appetite anymore.
I kindly told him that my stomach wasn't feeling well today and that I'd try to eat it later.
His reaction, though, was off-putting.
He just looked at me as if he was shocked by my answer and was in deep thought about what to say.
I couldn't look him in the eyes for more than a few seconds before it just got weird.
When I looked away, I think he snapped out of it.
"Oh, okay.
It's cool." Then he took my plate and put it in the fridge.
