After the Night Comes...

It appears that there’s some renewed interest regarding my dating exploits* so it would be ever so rude of me to keep you in suspense any longer with yet more postings of witty jokes, charming observations and rants about the design of the new twenty pound note. Nope, I’ll save all of those for another time.

So, cutting to the chase, and given my previous experiences, it’s still a little too early to tell - but it never the less looks promising. Still, it’s too soon to get those buntings out ready for a street party.

We met for lunch, she looked and acted like her profile described and her personality, values and mannerisms came across as being very like my own. In fact, she could have been me – albeit with some extra "lady bits". I suspect she was quite nervous, but then again, so was I, but it didn’t take too long for us both to relax – nor did she receive any phone calls "out of the blue" to see whether I was some sort of axe wielding nutter. Mind you, I’d already tried to put her at ease by suggesting that she pick somewhere she felt comfortable meeting in.

As the cold afternoon progressed the sun finally came out and the weather warmed up quite nicely indeed. After lunch I suggested we went elsewhere for some coffee and, half expecting her to decide to call it a day, she agreed. So, off we went for coffee with yet more nattering and, once we’d finished those, I suggested a bit of a walk. Again, much to my surprise, she agreed and we slowly wandered to a local park where we just sat in the sunshine chatting and admiring the view.

Naturally, the afternoon had to end at some point and when she decided she’d better be making tracks she allowed me to walk her to her car and give her a peck on the cheek. Although I already have her mobile number, just as I was about to wander off she again thanked me for the afternoon and offered me her home phone number too.

We’ve sent each other a few text messages over the weekend – only about the weather and seeing what we were up to – but I guess the big test will come this week when I ask whether she’d like to meet up again. I might even try ringing the home number too.

So, stay tuned for more updates as they occur…


* That would be one person then – but thanks for taking an interest!
