The dating game.

Yesterday we went on our first date in the two years since we left our ex. So this is how it went.

Get to persons house knock on door door opens and someone else other than my date is standing there awkward three minutes of waiting finally date comes to door and shows me in. People everywhere and get introductions but too many people to work out whose who. Finally leave top go out to lunch, walk to beach and date points and says its just a short walk to the restaurant along this beach. An hour and half later we arrive at restaurant. Had a lovely lunch overlooking the beach conversation was great established lots of things in common. Four hours later we organise lift home.

Date says be back in a minute and im left looking around someone elses room wondering what i can do to amuse myself. Half and hour later date comes back with wine and two glasses, before disappearing again saying they had to spend time with their family. By now we are reading a book and wondering how we might make a quick exit.

Date comes back and things return to normal but by now datre informs us that date doesnt drink very often and is now drunk but we have a nice dinner then walk back to beach where we go boogie boarding. After ward date pulls up stiff and sore because of an old injury i help date to a seat where date once again tells me how many relationships date has had that have gone wrong. We say we arent old relationships but am a date and not them. Date then proceeds to tell us how stiff and sore date is and we go ohh so what you talked about being able to do this an that isnt quite true then is it. Date doesnt answer. Walk home with date get bag and come home.

Conclusion deck chair passion pop and a book are so much less complicated than people who say they want one thing but clearly cannot fulfill it. Crazy thing is date was actually a therapist lmao.
