Blind date from hell?

Of course.

What I’m wondering is, was the guy creepy or is UW a cold heartless bitch?

Maybe it was his first post-divorce date, or learned to be suave from porn flicks or likely, just clueless. But, it really doesn't matter, if you don't click, you don't click. End of story.

In fairness to your Mom, he probably didn't view her as a prospective mate and probably was, really nice to her.

We get caught up in our fantasies sometimes, especially if there is a period of time between making the date and actually going. Too much time to worry, overthink, worry more and actually rehearse our lines. Once the lines, that sounded so good at home, have been rehearsed, we gotta use 'em. The more things look like they're going into the crapper, the less spontaneous we can be and have to use the lines.

Blind dates, if not avoided completely, should be limited to ball games, casinos and such, where there is plenty of entertainment. That way there can be as much or little conversation as desired, and distraction so you're not forced to stare at each other during those dreaded lulls.
