Four Dates & True Love

After a certain Virgo who completely destroyed my faith in men and resulted in me building pretty high walls. I decided enough was enough. He was never into me so I should put myself out there. I joined a dating site... responses came in thick and fast - said "No thanks" to many. However, I arranged four dates. Two out of the four were so miserable and whiney - I wanted to slap them. Let's begin.

Date One. Mr Salt&Pepper. Agreed to meet for a coffee. He was much shorter than I imagined. Banging body though. And you could tell he would've been extremely handsome in his earlier years - but years in a solarium .. anyway. While we chat... rephrase, while I spoke - he with his legs and arms crossed(bad sign), and either looking out the window or at the ceilling(worse sign), and he even asked "huh?" afew times (worst sign.. wasn't even listening...). I finished my coffee and said I had to go. As I was saying goodbye, he hugged me and asked to see me again - told him, we'll see - and I left. When I returned home, there was an email from him telling me how much he enjoyed meeting me, felt a connection and we should catch up again.. . umm What the Fuck!? Dash is big on communication - and that, was poor. Goodbye Mr Salt&Pepper.
Date Two. Larry the Lawyer. Again much shorter than I imagined and out for coffee. He was in a suit had come straight from work, he was an angry and a miserable man. Clearly not comfortable. I did manage a smile out of him towards the end, and thought maybe he just had a rough day at work and needed to vent. Conversed more over the next week and even told me he would've liked a kiss, but was too shy. I agreed to a second date - this time, dinner. I arrived early and ordered a drink (i thought i may need it, to sit through dinner with him)... then another and another. 6.55PM and I had been at the studio from 5AM.. I was abit tipsy - He arrived dead on 7, still in a suit (must have come from work.. damn - probably angry.."waiter, another vodka thanks"). After small talk and flipping through the menu and wine list.. and complaining over prices (tight much (i paid for myself)). I was extremely talkative, he had no idea I was almost drunk. I tried to lighten him up, afew jokes etc. He ordered a wine and I thought he may loosen up - Wrong. Fast forward I survived the night... got home and an email saying he had a great night, wanted that kiss and can't wait to catch up again. Sorry Larry the Lawyer, goodbye.

Date Three. Eddie the Emo worked in a bar and seemd really layed back, so I thought, this .guy is chill, we'll get on! Met for coffee... cute as a button. Then after introductions and small talk. He began complaining about life "fuck my life"... Oh wow. I didn't have a phone on me, so I was looking for any excuse to leave. He was actually pouting...  hello excuse, ANY will do. So I made up some lame excuse and said "nice to meet you, see you around". Third time with the email - "great to meet you, had so much fun". Being a little bolder, I responded "Thank you for taking time out today. However, I don't think we match. I wish you all the best."... Eddie the Emo... Goodbye.

Date Four. Sonny the Shy worked in an office. Not sure what he did exactly. Went out one Sunday afternoon for coffee. He was lovely, made great conversation, handsome. Took his jacket off and I noticed thin arms - odd thing to notice you say. I don't have a "type" but I like big arms. I told myself - gym will fix that - then he'd be perfect. Had a great chat, gave me a hug, offered me a ride home and i said I'd like to make the most of the weather and walk - thank you though. We went our ways, he sent the email.. basically the same as the others. Though I kept in contact with Sonny the Shy. We met up at clubs etc. After months of courting, I finally agreed to visit his home. I knew what was going to happen. So I went, we made out until 2AM and he fell asleep on me..After that, I realized - I only like him and don't feel anything more than that - but he does, and I could tell he didn't want "just friends".... so unfortunatly, Sonny the Shy... Goodbye.

So.. four dates down. they've all since met their true loves
