Black boots … practial yet alluring … unless of course made invisible by favourite jeans.
Movie commenced at 8.45 … Date arrived at 9.00… (Good excuse as was playing in church service).
Realised upon setting eyes on him (tickets burning hole in jacket pocket) very nice man but no flicker of fancy …
Bummer.
Scurry downstairs to cinema anyway…
Don’t recall much of Harry as too busy concentrating on how to conjour up feelings of fancy. (No… NOT for Harry for date who shall be called Not John (for his own protection)). I mean, has been so long since last date, if plan not concocted could be first and last date forever …
Movie ends.
Trek 2 flights of stairs back to entrance.
Can’t speak. (Must go back to the gym … and not just gym cafe… (well, at least until practised more stair climbing)).
And so to awkward closing …
D: “Well, thanks for coming”
NJ: “Thanks for the invite”
D: “So, heading away for the weekend?”
NJ: “Yes, and you, another week of holiday?”
D: “Yes”
NJ: “My car’s parked this way ->”
D: “Mine’s that way <-”
NJ: “Well, I guess I’ll see you back at work then”
D: “Will do. Bye!
NJ: “Bye”
Laughed all the way home…
Still laughing…
Had a chat to God and he was laughing too! Not AT poor tragic first daters but all gooey and gushy and proud at us giving it a go.
Bliss asks “So what’s next?” (personally I think she is getting very pushy …) However… now that she mentions it have been offered free trial of Godly Online Dating Site … (G.O.D.S). Might give that a go.
Will keep you posted…
