When to bail on a hookup?
wallanon
When she spends over an hour in the hotel room bathroom, when she attempts to unsteadily put on her makeup while slurredly chatting you up after opening the door, or after she goes to the lobby to bum a cigarette? She left her shit in the room and doesn't have a key...but has the room number in her room even if she can't remember it.
What do you think?

In case you’re wondering, being on Dateline = non-aces! :(
To add to my earlier comment in this thread, no beuno. Sometimes you just have to have the discipline to recognize a bad situation, cut bait and head out the door. Honestly, I probably would have been gone 20 minutes into that shit show.
Sometime around 1am I'm driving to an address on her phone, not sure exactly what for, but it will be good to have the night over with. She had earbuds in so I had the interactive map guiding me but no audio. After a bit of driving and unintentionally surreal chit chat followed by Tarantino-esque uncomfortable silence, I say it's ok for her to get some sleep. She's out like a light in about two seconds, and so still and quiet I'm not even sure she's still breathing. Her mouth was hanging open but with no sound whatsoever. I put the back of my hand in front of her face and can feel her breath, so she didn't just die on me. Her bag is about half as big as she is, and I'm hoping I don't get pulled over because there's no telling what's in it. More than once that night I thought I'd be rushing her to Lance's for off-the-books urgent care.
If I hadn't just experienced the strangest six or seven hours of the year, there was something almost endearing about the moment as she's sitting legs crossed with a too-big water bottle teetering in her lap over in the passenger's seat. The street lights were casting interesting shadows on her face, and she looked as pretty as someone can while essentially passed out from who knows what. But then I reminded myself she was fucking 191-proof bonkers and needed to get her out of my car. She wakes up right around the time I'm making a u-turn to double back to the house programmed into the phone. Think it was actually the house she's crashing at with relatives. She kisses me goodnight, gets out of the car, says we should do this again and walks slowly up to the front door. No one got stabbed in the heart with adrenaline, but I feel a little Vincent Vega-ish as I watch her walk in and drive off.
The odds of anything with her ever, ever happening again are imperceptibly low. And yes, she's a stripper.
If not, you may have to change your screen name to Gawker-In-training.
Only a hardcore Tuscler could romanticize a moment in which a drug addled stripper, who he paid for sex, was practically comatose in the passenger seat of his car. 😉
I paid for a room. Since I admittedly chose poorly, the room came with a little more drama than expected. When you little TUSCLer scamps get together you're worse than a sewing circle...
But I can't help finding that "endearing moment" bit to be funny as hell. I'll tell you that, when I was last in the same boat, I was more disgusted than anything, both with her and for myself for not seeing it sooner.
