Date Tonight

I have a date with Mr Accent Help. We’re meeting in the city this evening, convenient for both. I prefer not to be picked up on the first date, never know what Psycho you may meet*, yeah, I got faith.

After reading Aspen and Indiana’s posts I feel like I’ll be analysing every move this guy makes, will he buy me a drink? Will he walk me to a cab afterwards? Will he kiss me goodnight?**

This dating thing really irks me; I just want to fall into the comfortable conversation. Those initial getting to know you questions are so scripted.

As time goes on my attitude is getting worse, A next day phone call and there's no 'chase', I haven’t even had a date with him and because he is showing interest I’m already loosing it. I used to only loose interest in a guy straight after I sleep with him***, now look at me.

*After TAB guy just turning up in the middle of the night on a couple of occasions I’m overly cautious.
** Chat with a girlfriend 'It's not a date unless you have a goodnight kiss'.
*** I seldom go back for seconds, loose interest straight afterwards.

A date? God, I hate dating. It's so contrived.

It always reminds of the time on the Simpsons when one of the characters says "I am undressing you with my eyes..."

well, if it bombs I know three holidaying Parisienne men who will be at the Opera House next weekend to see La Traviata, who'd be happy to keep you company. ;)

I had a date last night and am in a similar mood - I'm getting the feeling it was all too easy so now I'm losing interest. Does that make me a dick or is it just human nature?

I want it to be comfortable and easy but with that extra zip and sizzle of chemistry - is that too much to ask?

*sigh*

Getting round to the meme, honest! :o)

Rosanna, I dislike dates with a passion. Meeting anyone new is hard work add in an attempt for a 'life partner' just makes me want to go to bed (alone)

G Boy - You are such a TEASE!!!!!
3 Parisian's - cute accents
Opera House - La Traviata

mean, mean i tell ya!

Ant, you'll have to give me some details, we'll compare date notes. Maybe it is human nature to loose interest, i wrote about 'playing hard to get' a while back and we just cant win. This guy i met on Saturday night, i got the 'next day phone call' surprises me, he wanted to take me for dinner sunday night - no bucko, not that easy.

I want the little belly flip when i met someone. This guy, not really i can see potential. Not whiling to put in the effort for just potential.

So does a praying mantis.. in fact i've heard they continue to mate after the head has been chewed off.

Your turn!
