I'm a fireman

I was home on a friday evening, doing alot of nothing. My good friend was in the city participating in a poetry reading at city hall and preceeded to text me and sa y she was finished her adventure and was going to take the ferry across the harbour. I jumped up and told her  we should grab a beer at the pub downtown called Celtic Corner.  It was a go, I dashed around and got ready anf drove downtown.
There was a nice hip but celtic band playing, she was already seated when I arrived.  I ordered a drink and we decided on nachos to spilt . Meanwhile behind my friend I could see this guy out of the corner of my eye staring in our direction. I said to my friend "do you know that guy at the bar?" She didn't so I brushed it aside.
My friend and I talked about our day, hers much more fascinating than mine, especially getting to speak at city hall and in front of a prostegious group of guests.
Again out of the corner of  my eye, I noticed the guy now up and circling the pub. Once around, twice around and wham! He slides in beside me on the bench, pressed right up against me.
I am shocked and the look on my friends face said it all. What the fuck?
I turn and say, "hi?"
He says hi and proceeds to  say that he knows me?
Aaaaaahhh I don't think so.
His breath reeks of beer. Ewe.
I say to him, "you are sitting a bit close"
He ignores the comment.
"I'm a  fireman." He says....."good for you", I say. Lol
I turn my body away from him and conyinue talking to my friend.  He is still talking. " I'm sorry,  I dont think I know you"i say......he gets a huge grin on his face. "I reconize you from POF"
I want to die, this strange man has reconized me from the online dating website I am currently on. My friend is appalled,  I'm visibly upset.
I  just star at him. I do the only thing I can think of. Lash out.
"YOU ARE SITTING WAY TO CLOSE AND GHAT CHEAP COLONGE YOU HAVE IN IS BURNING MY EYES!"
With that he gets up and walks straight out the door.
Im embarrassed,  I was harsh but I was also scared,  someone actually reconized me while I was in public. Yikes!
But the story doesnt end their, when I get home he proceeds  to message me on the site and ask for a date?
You're kidding right.
