I took her at her word and didn't do these things, I was a rude and boorish pig.

Well... it did show up on the first date, but I thought that in between the two I'd managed to convince her that there was no way anyone could fulfill both sets of criteria. And everyone deserves a second chance, right?

Apparently I was wrong. Still, you live and learn.
