The Date
Coffee. I change the location of our rendezvous a few hours prior to meeting Mr No Show-Ego, this is because I am slightly half hearted about meeting him but all in the name of blogging my bleeding little heart out I decide to see it through. He asks me to text him the postcode for his satnav which I do. I guess a side effect of all this internet dating is that a. you become sceptical...just awaiting for the clanger to drop mid conversation, the baggage, the neurosis, the catch, whatever it is, I am waiting for it, because generally so far men on the internet come to the table with issues b. the novelty of meeting new men starts to fade, 40 dates in! c. Mr Psycho is bound to rock up sooner or later and I'm not looking forward to meeting him! So as we haven't actually spoken on the phone, I decide to send a couple of banter texts to create a fun and lively atmosphere ahead of meeting. Some may call this a charismatic approach, light hearted and building some sort of rapport or anticipation. Mr No Show-Ego texts me to say he is running late according to his satnav. I text back to say "I just arrived and just as well I like my own company and shift your arse, I'm sitting outside : )!" He texts back saying it's my fault for changing the location last minute and he has to travel further than he anticipated. I text back totally joking saying "I don't do the blame game, so get your pedal to the metal and I look forward to meeting you soon" 10 minutes later I get a text saying "I'm sorry, I've turned around, I don't like your demanding attitude on the texts, I've just come from a great 1st date and you're not for me" I am, I have to say, flabbergasted! I cast a wry smile, as with all my antics on this internet dating search, it's probably about time this happened but I can't help thinking what an egotistical moron he is to miss the opportunity of meeting, having driven an hour or so, to just throw his toys out of his cot-car. Another text comes through from Mr No Show-Ego "I am a real catch...don't contact me again" I text him back to remind him that it is he who made contact with me, and if in fact he is back to back dating then it's probably for the best that we haven't met. Rich coming from me, I know!!! Glad my intuition told me to change the location and probably glad that I didn't have to endure an hour or so with Mr No Show-Ego. A new one on me and hey Mr Psycho is still at large....Still sceptically searching!
