To ditch baseball cap wearing date

Currently sitting in a nice bar on a first date arranged through mutual friend... and said date is wearing a fucking baseball cap.

Smart shoes. Smart jeans. Smart top. Well groomed. Handsome. Then polishes it off with a bright white baseball cap which is almost burning my eyeballs.

I know for a fact he's not bald. Imo baseball caps are reserved for baseball fans, playing tennis, playing golf, children, chavs.

I just imagine him laying his outfit out for tonight and thinking 'yes, this finishes me off nicely. She'll love this cap!'.

Seriously thinking of making a dash for it when he goes for a bathroom break. Could write 'baseball cap?' in lipstick on a napkin so he gets the message.

Wwyd?

So I ended up staying (on the date, nowhere else Smile). However, I don't think a second date will be on the cards.

The company was pleasant enough and he did have a lot of funny stories, but I got the sense he was more into himself than me. About 80% of the conversation was his interests, friends etc, which may have been my fault for asking so many questions.

However, a couple of times when we did find common ground with similar interests/places visited I was shot down mid sentence before I could finish what I was saying. He was a bit of a conversation hog.

Oh and when we got up to leave as I was putting my jacket on he removed his cap (to reveal and nice full head of hair), wiped some sweat off his forehead with his hand, then proceeded to give his hair a quick style in the mirror above our booth, before securely fixing his cap back to his head (what's the pointing is styling in then??). Spent the early hours dissecting the date with my flatmates, which I found more enjoyable, so probably says it all really.
