the date...

Well, he was intelligent, funny and a perfect gentleman. Very good company indeed....

but....no sparks, no violins....sighs

But at least he will make a very good friend.

Still searching...

Here we go again....wish me luck

Ok, let's get back on the horse, I'm going on a date tonight. We've been texting and talking on the phone for a week, he seems to have the same sense of humour as me. He's local. Good job, well educated (I really missed that with the last one - no verbal sparring or discussions on the big things in the world) and................younger than me....and a tri-athlete. Oh shit! So, what is he going to see in the older woman with more than a few spare pounds on her?

Ah well, nothing ventured nothing gained!

If nothing else we can hold a good conversation.

Saturday night!

Well, owing to a change of plans, number 5 was preceded by number 4.5. This lasted all night after an innocent invitation to 'coffee' after he walked me home....

He makes me smile, he has a twinkle in his eye and doesn't give a jot about the lumpy bits that wobble.

Time for a gallon of coffee and some revision!

Number 5

Still going strong...... Roll on Monday

A date!

Ooooh a potential hopeful one! It's late and I'm heading to bed but suffice it to say part 2 is Friday night! He has already text me to say he had a good evening and he is looking forward to Friday!

Watch this space!

So what are the entry requirements for entering a convent?

Well the hunk of love that was advertised and who had e-mailed me was actually Mr Bean, with a clammy handshake and a good line in running tales....

Never has 45 minutes seemed so long!

He was older than his picture, in fact I'm not even sure the picture was him...

He wouldn't decide if he wanted coffee or a cold drink until I chose, nor would he decide where to sit until I did..... every opinion I had he agreed with....even when I started espousing some really odd ideas just to see if he agreed.....he did!

So nope....not the love of my life?

Friends....? Who'd have them?

For my birthday, a couple of friend from college decided to set me up on an internet dating site.The type where they as 'friends' try to sell you by listing all your good points! I've only just got the courage to tell all.

I have been out on 3 'dates' so far.

• 1) was a smoker, pretending he wasn't, arrogant, chauvinistic, and a total bore
• 2) was quite nice but a bit of a chav...(urbandictionary.com has a good description) I got told off for turning this one down as he is rich, good looking, got a great job, car the works, but he was a chav and I am a snob!
• 3) likes cats, I know I like cats but they are not my sole conversation piece. He was definitely the type that you would open a cupboard door and expect to see his mother who had passed away 5 years previously perfectly preserved.

So it has been a busy couple of weeks. Date number 4 is tomorrow. Watch this space, I shall try to keep you up to speed. I am not expecting to meet the man of my dreams, after all the lifestyle I prefer is not exactly common, but in this sleepy part of the world the chances of SuperDom walking into my life are decidedly slim.

Just for information, tomorrow's is an accountant, non-smoker, no kids, claims to be good looking! Let's see what turns up!
