The Jack Rabbit

Location: Various

This was the first time I went on a second date …and a third, and a fourth, with the same guy. This guy was good looking, interesting and we had quite similar backgrounds, so lots in common. I can’t remember all the dates, but one really memorable one we took a boat down the Thames and got off at Greenwich for a walk around the park, then drinks and a meal before getting the boat back to the city. He was a good kisser (really important after the previous experience!) and after the fourth date I decided to bring him back to the flat.

Unfortunately (there’s so many unfortunatelies in this blog!), that was where the fun stopped. It was exactly like the episode in Sex and The City where Carrie decides she will have a fling and asks herself ‘how bad could it be?’ The answer…'he and I had sex like we were teenagers again. Meaning he had no idea what he was doing, and I didn’t say anything.’


 Again, like with ‘Sloppy Kisser’ I have since wondered whether I should have given him another go, because first time sex with a new person is never all that amazing. But I just couldn’t bring myself to go through it again. 
Two years down the line, back in the dating game and slightly more jaded, I do wish maybe I hadn’t given up on him so easily. But it could be a lucky escape for my back!

 Note to all guys anywhere, in case you haven't figured it out yet, this type of sex is not good!

The Smelly One

Location: The Vittoria Rainy Monday. Monday evenings are for sofa cuddling and an early night, but for some reason I decided a date would be a more efficient use of my time.   I realised the error in my ways at around 4pm at work, when I messaged said date to call it off. It was another of those ‘not really excited by pictures or chat’ moments and I had a nice supper of poached eggs, salmon and avocado I was looking forward too. But, he didn’t take it lying down and actually sent some quite funny responses to my cancellation message that were enough to reluctantly convince me to change my mind again and give it a go. So I walked to the Vittoria (his choice) after work in the pissing rain. It’s not a pub I have ever wanted to go to before despite its close proximity to work, because from the outside it looks old manny and smelly.  I went inside and it was indeed old manny and smelly.  My date stood up to say hello and unfortunately I immediately knew I d...

The BMW driver

Location: A pub in a village near Kenley I squeezed in this date on the way back from a lovely weekend with my uni friends. I must have literally organised it for the same day we connected – efficient dating!  My friend Fi dropped me off in this random small town where my date had arranged that he would pick me up to take me to a nearby pub. It was a beautifully sunny day and as luck would have it, he had a BMW convertible, so felt very flashy driving along with the top down. Really can’t remember much else about the date itself though which isn’t a good sign, just that there were lots of dogs in the pub garden and they seemed to be getting more action than I had had in weeks! Nothing else came of it.

The Real Adult

Location: The Mall, Bristol So in complete comparison to the last date, and I know I'm now going to sound like such a fussy hypocrite, this guy was a proper grown up. Yes, I appreciate that at 32 I also am supposedly a grown-up, but (and I'm sure I'm stealing this example from an internet meme) in an emergency situation I would always look around for a more grown up grown-up, or basically someone who is more successfully adulting than me, to sort the situation out. This was that guy. We didn't really have anything in common and he was just a bit too settled and fixed in his habits and life for a bit of weird flighty person like myself. He was lovely though and introduced me to a nice gin I hadn’t tried before, so sometimes there are plusses in amongst all the futility.
