A Cautious Approach

So, over the weekend I went out on another date with my lady friend. It was nothing exciting – only to the cinema – but she seemed to enjoy herself, laughing at the comic goings on screen. We then went to a nearby pub for a drink and a bit of a chat.

However, it was all a little one sided and I found it a bit of a struggle to keep up the conversation. I don’t know whether she’s bored, nervous or simply just quiet, but it was certainly hard work. We were both tired and we eventually went our own ways so I asked whether she’d like to meet again – but next time somewhere more interesting and exciting. Happily, she agreed and before we went our separate ways I gave her a lingering, but simple, kiss on the lips.

It all sounds promising, but as I’ve said before, I’ve had many a false dawn and I just can’t help wondering why she isn’t as chatty as I’d expected her to be. Is her mind elsewhere? Is she nervous? Is she bored with me, or is she simply being herself?

Fingers crossed, she’s simply being herself...
