Second Date...

Well technically second date canceled...We will call him 'the toothless wonder' he comes later!

So actual second date was a nervous one for me due to first date going to badly, his pictures looked promising, height too...

So we go to the Dove on Broadway market, I arrive first...Damn! He arrives shortly after I've sent a panicky message to my flatmate about being stood up! He is shorter than described (what is wrong with these boys!) and with a disproportionate head to body ratio, but nice face! So for this exercise we shall call him lollipop boy. Lollipop boy and I seemed to get on well and we were having a laugh, so was feeling quite positive by the end. Ended on a slightly weird note though of him walking me home and  having a strange conversation about him running through my car park and me sniper rifling him...Hmmmm not sure what that meant...Nerves?!

Anyway...Thinking that maybe he would contact me...No, but I didn't remember he hadn't until my flatmate mentioned him! He obviously wasn't the one for me and vice versa.
He had a stupidly large head anywho, and I certainly would not like to have lollipop headed children!

(Apologies if this is badly written, I have a raging hangover!)

First date...

Right taking it right back to the beginning...

First date was, well probably the worst date I've ever been on! I turn up and the guy, lets call him video boy was nothing like his pictures, at least 3 inches shorter than he had said (seems a strange thing to lie about!) and appeared to be on a come down!

We start off having some tea in a cafe in Stokey, nice place, if I was with someone else this could be a good date! Video boy could barely string a sentence together, so I end up reading the paper! We then move onto Brick Lane to a graduate art show, which sadly was shit but I guess that wasn't his fault! I decide I need to get out as I'm feeling it would be more fun to watch paint dry...I make an excuse that my flatmate is angry as the flats a mess and I have to go back, this is 2 hrs in. Unfortunately being brought up with manners makes it very hard to leave without feeling rude, so I end up having a drink with him filled with awkward silences, and me talking absolute crap! I finally escape after 3 hrs, feeling negative about the whole experience...

I figure he must have felt it went terribly, but low and behold a message arrives a few days later asking me out again...I never text back, deleted and blocked him from my page...Idiot!

True Romance...

Hello! I've been doing some things recently that I have never done before, like entering the world of internet dating just before my 25th birthday so I won't be left on the 'shelf' trying to shuffle the crazy cat lady image that haunts me on a daily basis!
I've never been lucky in love, have made some horrific man choices and have had some awful dates. I believe all the problems started at the beginning of my dating life...

At the tender age of 15, I started dating the lifeguard from my local pool. On what I believe was our second or third date we went bowling, very nice and normal. Due to having stupidly skinny wrists I bowled like an idiot with both hands which caused great amusement to him. He kept telling me to bowl normally, so I obliged hurling the ball to what I hoped would be a magnificent strike and he would fall deeply in love with me and my bowling skills, however all did not go to plan and I threw the ball into the next lane over where these 2 pretty girls were playing, if that wasn't bad enough it went straight into their gully and finished their game! I turned round to see said lifeguard bright red and with his head in his hands...Oh dear, needless to say it didn't last very long after that.

So for everyone else out there that is feeling like they may want to join the world of internet dating but are to scared, I would like to share how this whole experience has treated me so far...
