100% princess

...and then some!

so I had my date last night with the seemingly alcoholic nice young man I'd been chatting to online

When he'd messaged and asked how I felt about going for some Chinese food and sake... my first thought was... he better be talking about Hakkasan! *such* a snooty thing for me to think! ohhhh dear. An ex took me there on our first date... perhaps I'll blame him for that thought!

Didn't know what to text back. Hoped he had a nice Chinese restaurant in mind and not the local cheapie chinese... said it was fine

We met at the tube, walked to the Hare and Tortoise... cheap-chain-restaurant-chinese... it had all the ambiance of a brightly lit classroom. He was quiet, painfully so... and quite dull. I suspect he's always drinking cos he just doesn't have a personality or the ability to kick back and relax until he's drunk. Don't think he made me laugh the whole night. Went to a pub for one drink, then home. When I got off the tube I patted him on the leg and said it was nice to meet him - couldn't even be bothered with the kiss-on-the-cheek effort...

This is the guy who said he'd try and think of something nice to do to make up for canceling on me! Maybe I'm morphing into a snooty London gal, but cheap and convenient Chinese is not the way to impress a woman!

The other guy I've had two dates with just started to look a *whole* lot better!

Wasn't bad looking, definitely hadn't been beaten with the ugly stick - cute grin on the odd occasion when he busted it out - dose the boy with charisma and he could've been a ladykiller, but as it was... he was just dull and plain.


...so I have another date with a new guy next Wednesday - bit scared cos he also works in IT (consulting), and isn't a drop dead hottie, but he seems friendly and I suspect I should make an effort to be less harsh and actually wait til I meet them before I dismiss them. He's already told me he's planning on taking me to Milk and Honey - looks like a very fancy place, hope he made the reservation prior to telling me we were going there! At least he's trying to impress

2009... year of The Boy ;)

I'm out every night this week from Wed-Sun... gonna look like a distressed 40 year old come Monday
