Myself and this guy had been in contact over some weeks about catching up. He has actually cancelled on me twice usually with some lame excuse about being too tired. Can't be arsed more like. I wasn't too concerned as during our phone conversations I felt it becoming a laborious task to actually have a conversation. I put it down to perhaps him being a little shy and so when he texted me, yes texted, on Saturday morning to see if was up for a coffee that day I agreed, despite my hating being SMS'd to ask for a date, he had called whilst I was running to be fair to him.
The rain continued to lash down and the last thing I wanted to do was go out and meet some dude I'd met off the internet for coffee. Anyway we went for coffee, the conversation was again laboured, I yawned approximately 20 times during the 45 minutes of the date and then made the moves to end the date and leave. As I we exited the cafe I realised that someone had stolen my umbrella! The cheek of it! What does one do in such a situation? Is there umbrella stealing etiquette I need to be aware of?
I asked the lady in the cafe about it. She was bemused to say the least. After some consideration I took the umbrella closest in colour and size to my stolen one and retreated. The cafe girl said she was turning a blind eye since neither of us were sure of what the protocol was in this predicament! My date had by this point pretty much marched up the road without me. Clearly he was embarrassed about this situation but it wasn't his umbrella that had been filched and so he was happy to get out of there by the looks of it.
By his exiting behaviour (ie. swiftly) I took this to mean that we had mutually understood that this was the end of the road for us and we'd move on sweetly to whatever came up next. Not so, he sms'd me 10 minutes later to ask me if I wanted to play golf. My immediate thought was must be sent to the wrong person as I had only just told him over coffee that I had never played golf in my life nor had I any intention too since I found the game utterly intolerable. I think this may have been a correct assumption since my reply was "well I have to redo my CV so not today and I don't really play thanks.' I didn't hear back from him, not surprising I mean redoing your CV is about as similar a brush off as 'I'm washing my hair".
Went out that night to a friends birthday party and made a huge mistake thinking I may be attracted to a friend. What a mess! I had been talking to said friend for most of the night. Now, don't get me wrong this guy is hot and gets a lot of female attention. A lot of the females in the room were talking about how we had been chatting for most of the night. To me this was silly as said friend and I get along very well and had a lot to catch up on. A few drinks later and I was asked if I liked any of the boys. My response was my this guy I had been talking to but what I had meant to say was that if I was going to like someone it would be him for these reasons:
1) we get along really well
2) we can chat about shit for ages
3) he's a good looking bloke
4) he's creative and smart
That said, I made a complete twat out of myself as he actually had his eye on my mate who then pashed him, who then felt bad because of what I said and got upset, but as it goes we don't have any sexual attraction to each other so it was a right old balls up resulting in no one getting any! Jeez keep la bouche firmly shut Lushie!
