Just got in from a dinner date which was a disaster..
First met this woman on Weds after she messaged me on POF, we had coffee & things were going ok, but no better than that. She was just sort of really plain, not fat, not thin, not tall, not short, not beautiful but not ugly, just very plain. She would probably make a great secret agent as she was so nondescript.
After the first date I felt a little bad about myself, thinking I was being too judgemental as there was no real reason not to like her, so I invited her out to dinner to get to know her better, she was bombarding me with texts saying she was thinking about me, how she was looking forward to our next date etc.
So we met for the second date & the second I saw her I knew I'd made a mistake. She was way overdressed, we were only going for sushi, everyone was smart casual & she looked like a contestant off Strictly Come Dancing. She seemed very nervous & uptight, I'm usually quite good at building a rapport but every conversation we had was very strained, I couldn't wait to get out of there.
After a bit of date date analysis I've concluded I should have trusted my gut instinct on the first encounter & not wasted any more time.
Nearly at the point where I'm going to knock this online dating malarky on the head, I'm no longer sure if there really is a needle in this haystack
