I wrote THIS post back in January about my foray into the
world of dating and what a disaster it was, well there’s a lot more to the
story now so make yourself a cuppa, get comfy and let me update you!
So the guy I went on a date with back in January, a few
days after writing the original post and about a week after the date and hearing
absolutely zero from him. Well I met up with a friend for lunch and was telling
her the story and I showed her a picture of him and it turns out she knows his
girlfriend, yes you read that right, GIRLFRIEND! I still can’t believe it, so
many people are on dating sites how did he think he could get away with that?!
Some men are jerks!!
So after that I took a hiatus from dating, not that one
date throws me back out there fully! Life’s been pretty hectic but the past
couple of weeks I decided to stop being a complete relationship phobic and try
and put myself back out there. So back onto plenty of fish I went, I’ve been
chatting to a few guys, none of whom have wowed me. Where the hell are all the
nice single hot guys hiding?
One guy, not particular nice to look at (yes I know that
sounds awful but I do believe there needs to be an attraction and you need to
find them hot!) but was nice to chat too, he randomly tried to add me on
facebook. I know you may think that sound like I’m being dramatic and that it
seems like a normal thing to do. Well I
would normally agree but I plenty of fish profile doesn’t contain my name and I
hadn’t given my full name to him. I queried him on this and he replied that he
used to be a body guard and can find anyone who doesn’t want to be found?!! Creepy!
So last Sunday I braved it and went on a date, not with
the creepy guy, a different one, we had been chatting for a little while and
agreed to meet in Costa for a coffee. Firstly never meet in Costa for a coffee!
It was super busy, we were wedged between buggies and grannies gossiping. It
was really noisy, hard to hear what was being said and the least relaxing
environment you. Oh and I don’t even drink coffee!
Hmm where to start? Well he was late which is annoying,
especially on a first date. If any of my friends are reading this, yes I know I’m
a hypocrite! I am always late but not to dates!! When he arrived he didn’t look
much like his picture and was super short, I mean ridiculously short! I am 5ft
2, I am a Shorty so I don’t look at peoples heights on their profile as 99% of
the time everyone is taller than me! He must
have been 4ft something! When I got home I double checked and he had put 5ft 5
as his height, there is exaggerating the truth and then there is exaggerating! I
like my men tall and I mean really tall 6ft plus, I also need to consider my
future children I don’t want them to suffer with my height deficiency! Then on
the actual date all he spoke about was himself! Not one single question about
anything else! It was a complete yawn fest!
So that is my update! I am 4 months into the New Year and
my resolution of putting myself out there and back into the dating world isn’t going
to well! All I have learnt so far is that dating is hard work, I don’t enjoy
it, and it feels fake. I want to just bump into a TALL, good looking man who
makes me belly laugh and we click. Is that asking for the impossible?!
You have to remember there is someone out there for everyone. Don't give up hope and soon your prince Charming will come. I hope you get that much needed boost of good luck :) x
