It’s always a good idea to take the occasional break from the Internet dating lark, especially when your inbox is about as full as the Jehovah Witnesses Christmas card list, so I’ve decided to continue reading my copy of The Da Vinci Code instead (Oooh, exciting eh?).
However, as with so many things with Internet dating, my imagination of events and of people has been well and truly shattered. For those of you in the know, there’s a big screen adaptation of the film coming out in the summer, and it stars Tom Hanks as the stupidly clever Harvard professor Robert Langdon whilst the rather hot looking Audrey Tautou plays Sophie Neveu.
Now it’s important that you allow your imagination to decide on what the various characters look like, so when I saw the theatrical trailer for said film I was completely gutted to see Tom Hanks with a rather floppy looking long hairstyle not dissimilar to Hugh Grant. Thanks to this, my illusions have been shattered and I can no longer read the book without picturing that blundering idiot. And just when it was starting to get interesting too.
Now, you may wonder why I’m rambling on like this when it has nothing to do with my dating attempts. Well, in a way it does, as what you imagine a person to be like can be pretty much guaranteed to be totally different to what they actually are. It’s only once you speak to or meet them for the first time that you can really learn something about them, not that I’ve had much joy in that area recently either. So come on ladies, stop simply looking at my profile (53 hits now in two days) and drop me a line to say "hello". You never know, you might like what you find.
BTW, if you’d like to watch the trailer for (the actually rather interesting looking) The Da Vinci Code then have a butchers here.
