Back when I was 18 some friends joined, Faceparty to check out fit girls and got me to join up too. It was a fun 2 evenings of "corrr I'd have a go on that!", but for me it got real when I got a message from a girl who was also local. We sent texts back and forth during the day and talked through, Faceparty during the evening. Texting costs money back in those days.
We got on great and I couldn't believe my luck that I was picked up, normally you'd think it's men doing the picking. I think after about a week we decided to meet and I was so excited because although the website is called, Faceparty she hadn't posted a pic, but during our chats she had described herself and I built up a mental image of this sexy lady whose skin was like, Jennifer Lopez, which is how she described it. So we decided to meet on a, Saturday evening at the local precinct and basically go to her place for a night of shaggin' because her parents wouldn't be home.
Saturday comes and I'm already at the meeting place and I get a text "Are you there yet?" to which I reply "Yeah I'm here, where are you?" she replies "Be there in a second". Here we go I thought as I'm looking around to see where, Jennifer Lopez is, nothing to the right, lets look left and nothing, and then suddenly on my right flank where I was looking just 5 seconds ago, "Hey, how are you?" so I turn to greet her, a white woman, a very white woman who in no way could be mistaken for, Jennifer Lopez.
Straight away I was not attracted, it's like when, David Brent met his blind date with her white chiffon scarf. I was disappointed and then she said she had some bad news, her parents were home, immediately my mood lightened that I wouldn't have to find an excuse out of doing the business with her. So I formulated a plan and bought the local paper, we are going to the cinema but what shall we see.. "I Spy?" she says, no.. how about "Catch Me If You Can?" I say, and we were off to the cinema.. by bus, for 20 minutes, in silence as I reread the paper for a 3rd time still sour about, Jennifer Lopez not turning up. So we're at the cinema watching Catch Me If You Can, or trying to because I didn't have my glasses, this was suppose to be an evening of shaggin. I was then further distracted as she started getting cosy and rubbing my leg which I pretended to not notice. The film is over and we head back to the precinct where we met up and started chatting while waiting for our next busses home, thankfully mine came first and I was out of there, I debated in my head for a few seconds on whether I should at least kiss her goodnight but I can only remember just saying bye and leaving.
A complete waste of time, never do a solo blind date. Bloody good film though.
