I’ve been quite lucky on dates, but I'm sure I can muster up an odd one or two... I
could choose from the one where I downed a bottle of wine and was hammered before
he arrived, then proceeded to fall around town with him and flake out on my bed
two hours later. Or the one where he
turned up 15 minutes late and during our conversation I mentioned being very
punctual and he said “Shit, glad I wasn’t late then” For the record, Mr. I Wear
The Same Shirt For Two Dates and Cycle A Dublin Bike, 15 minutes late IS
LATE!!! Or the date which wasn’t really a date “I’ll call over and we can have
a barbecue” My flatmate will be here, let’s go to the pub instead. Now, did I ask him on a date or did he
me?? Maybe date two of one gent - I
really, really, REALLY did not want to go. My head was up the proverbial arse
of another buck and I was ‘giving this guy a chance’, so I agreed to a second
date, even though we spent the first date talking about the year he went
travelling to Asia / Oz (for the record guys and gals, you’ve heard one of
those stories, you’ve heard them all.
Unless you were almost arrested for something you didn’t do or lost a
limb in an hilarious story, leave it at ‘yeah did the year travelling’) and a
lot of other stuff about him. I’m not a big talker about myself (not that you’d
know considering I’m writing a blog about me!) but that does not
mean I want to spend an entire date talking about YOU! But I put it down to nerves and said I’d give
him another chance. I arrived on a wet,
windy Sunday to a pub in Dublin city I wouldn’t normally go to, but hey that’s
half the fun of dating. I was early and trotted in and took a seat. Five mins
later he spun in, in a bit of a stressed state, he’d lost / forgotten / mislaid
his bank card. I can’t actually remember the detail, but I do remember him
being rather embarrassed and panicked about it all. So I paid for all the drinks, which worked
well as it meant I had the upper hand and I also had control over when we would
leave. After three or four drinks I
headed off … and agreed to another date.
