Out Of Blue Comes Green

From this point forward I shall talk of my previous blind date no more. But before I do, I’ve finally come up with some positives from my time at the helm of the blind-date Titanic.

It took me some time to thing of the pros, but I managed to dream up the list of pro-active things to do whilst sat somewhere you really needn’t know about and whilst slogging it away at the gym.

Unfortunately, I guess there’ll be yet another empty Valentines day this year, but here’s some goals which can be achieved in the first half of 2007 which will hopefully lead to bigger and better things:

Experience

Like my failed job interviews, the more failed dates I unfortunately go on, the more chances I get at perfecting my skills. I know it’s a bit shallow to go about dates this way, but at least if I can read the signals I can hopefully steer things towards another date.

Exercise

My blind date was into her exercise, so I expect she had some mental images of her own when she was told of my equally frequent trips to the gym. However, I guess my current problem is with my more frequent trips to the take-away and the pub – with the results to go with it. Hardly a six pack, more like a party seven. But, that is no more, with a fresh new exercise regime to hopefully address that problem.

Clothing

I’ve already spent a small fortune on upgrading my wardrobe, but I still need a few extra items. Gone are the cartoon boxer shorts (although my new underwear has yet to receive an audience) and my wardrobe is graced with new shoes (we all know the ladies like nice shoes), new shirts and new trousers. However, I still need a new jacket and I’ve still got my eye out for some nice designer jeans.

Cosmetics

No, I’m not planning on wearing lipstick, but I’ve had a bit of a chipped and angled front tooth for a while and I’ve been putting off getting that sorted for years (mainly due to the cost). Dentists, the drilling and injections don’t bother me (they use to – one of the other reasons why I kept delaying it) but now I’ve got extra money coming in I’ll be heading to my dentist in the next few weeks to get that corrective dentistry ball rolling.
