I am an abject failure at dating (part 2)
Inspired by the flirty comments on my last post (http://b3ta.com/questions/chattingup/post590182), I decided to give internet dating a go and so I arranged to meet a man at the weekend.

So off I trot to meet this man, he's ten years older than me - tho in person he seems so much older than that - and I should have been warned when he texted that he was wearing red cords and a blue jumper....

When I meet him, I find out that he is Peter Mandleson's advisor! It's not my dream date and I defo don't fancy him. However, he was interesting (like a car crash is interesting), so I thought I'd throw him a bone and agree to meet up again despite him not being my type at all. I was just trying to be nice.

Two hours later, I'm sitting in my mates flat talking about the date. She belongs to the same dating site as me so we check out her matches. While she is on-line, THE BLOKE I'VE JUST MET (just two hours ago, who had to "rush off to do xmas shopping") EMAILS MY MATE!!!! He sent her virtually the same email as he sent me - but had no idea we knew each other.

We both told him to fuck off.


ps; on a happier note, my mate and I then went on a bender for the rest of the day and ended up at my rock climbing centre for their xmas party. Despite being a little bleary eyed, I was asked out by a very nice chap and will have my first proper date in two years next week! Keep your fingers crossed for me.... I clearly need all the luck I can get!
