To be honest, it's pretty boring being me at the moment. The gorgeous bloke I winked at in the week didn't respond..imagine my surprise! No doubt he got a better offer, he was far too attractive..he must have been flooded with messages from the cream of the online dating crop.
I was wallowing in self pity, flicking through pages of ungainly looking men when I received a wink from a guy who lives in Essex. He looked quite nice in his photos and his profile was spelling mistake free so I decided to wink back and he sent a message - the patented Wink Etiquette System (WES) working to its full potential!
As my mood was a little gung ho, I suggested we swap numbers straight away. This isn't normally the way I operate, but like I said, I was bored and needed some mischief to entertain me. He texted me shortly after and we arranged that we would have a date on Monday.
He has been really cagey about his job. I asked him what he did and he said that it was 'top secret' and that he would tell me when we meet in person. From texts back and forth, I have collected some clues:
1) he has travelled a lot on the roads around the UK
2) he doesn't get compliments in his 'environment'
3) he trains in Aikido
4) he runs
5) he doesn't appear to work normal hours
We can cross off policeman, bouncer and bodyguard as he has already denied being one of these. I have discussed these clues at length with a friend and we have come up with:
1) a spy in the MI5
2) works on an oil rig
3) urban hygienist
4) cage fighter
5) a magician in the magic circle
6) a lottery winner
It's probably none of the above but I only have until Monday to find out! He is coming to me from quite far away and taking me out for a meal. Should be interesting and I am really looking forward to it. He has intrigued me.
But, there is second guy...I've been proactive this weekend! I first chatted to him online a couple of weeks ago and he has been pestering me for a date ever since. Today I relented and texted him to tell him I was up for it.
He is scottish, plays golf and competes in triathlon. Sounds fit. I like that. Quite hard to understand on the phone, I struggled with his accent. Very broad considering he has lived in the south for some years, but I don't mind it. I'm used to a dodgy accent, I have an irish mother!
I've arranged to meet this guy tomorrow evening for a drink. He is a bit older than me but I like his style and he sounds like a deep conversationalist, which floats my boat totally.
So, two days. two dates. I've doubled the dose for extra relief..
