Blind Date # 18

Here we go once again,
Another one that I can't win,
She wants a mans in a Coat and tie,
I asked but she knows not why,
She wants a man with lots of green,
Power to her that will mean,
I took her to dine out,
Not there she continued to shout,
She said what I couldn't see,
Was that nothing about a date was up to me,
Finally found a place to eat,
We waited an hour for a seat,
It was $ 50 for each plate,
The food came and I made the waitress wait,
I told her this couldn't be for real,
Those portion are a snack not a meal,
She said we paid for the atmosphere,
She had coffee and I had a beer,
They then gave us a desert menu,
I told her we'd have that at some place new,
Some place with out the thrill,
So maybe I could get my fill,
It was clear we wouldn't go very far,
She didn't like how I dressed or my car,
I told her she could be my friend,
But right here this date had to end,
To her the statement wasn't clear,
She even shed a little tear,
Told me she didn't understand why,
Thing would get better if I'd only try,
My response was there is nothing that I can do,
I am just not the man for you,
Now my phone rings off the hook,
Her number is there every time I look,
Maybe she had a change of heart,
But I have no idea where to start,
What she saw is what she got,
I can't be someone that I am not!

I was skimming your date book! lol these are very exceptional poems, easily understood with simple rhyme schemes and timeless subject matter, you do them so well and there are so many, makes me think you might be a bit of a player at heart. lol just kidding, very nice poems.
