First date letters

Thursday, February 12th, 2009

I met a guy online whose picture seemed nice and he was very chatty, so I decided to meet up with him.

I arrived at the pub and there was a guy standing outside and as I approached him it was clearly obvious that he was only just over 5ft myself being 5ft 6″ that was a little odd, he had no hair and dark circles around his eyes and all I kept thinking about was Uncle Fester from the Adams Family!

Me being polite decided to continue with the date being friendly and chatty and as we sat down after ordering our food his mobile phone rang, it was a work call he had to take. I wouldn’t have minded if he would tell them he is in the middle of another meeting and call them back later but he sat on the phone for the whole of the time we were waiting for the dinner. Making comments in front of me like ‘that’s just not good enough’ I am going to sort them out blah blah blah. I was bored and was sure he was doing it to impress me and it wasn’t working!

Once he got off the phone because our dinner had arrived and apologised he continued to go on and on about his important job and I felt my eyes glaze over because I had completely lost interest.

The funniest part was he excused himself to go to the men’s and he was gone ages, I thought shall I do a runner now??? but decided I would be polite and make up an excuse about getting home early. When he finally came back he looked at me with shock and said ‘Your still here then’, to which I replied ‘Why do most of your dates usually do a runner’ and his reply was ‘I don’t have much faith in women’. I wished I had ran away and had to give the false nice to meet you goodbye but I had a good giggle all the way home.

Settle Your Nerves With First Date Ideas In Edinburgh

Monday, July 14th, 2008

When it comes to vibrant cities in the UK, Edinburgh has to be up there with the best of them. The Scottish capital is a wonderful city for tourists with plenty to see and do but what about the natives? When you are trying to decide upon first date ideas for you and that special person, there are many different places you could visit and things that you could do.

Coming up with first date ideas in Edinburgh just takes a little imagination. However, the first date idea below would certainly give your date a day or evening to remember!

  1. Royal Yacht Britannica – The Royal Yacht Britannica has been at Leith Docks since it was retired from service in 1988. It is a wonderful place/boat to visit though, and one that is attractive to tourists rather than locals. Why not spend an hour pretending that you’re royalty? You could go to one of the restaurants on the docks afterwards for a wonderful meal to finish a date to remember.
  2. Edinburgh Zoo – This is a fun filled first date idea! A walk around the zoo is something few adults do unless they have children, so why not get back to your childhood and take a look at the animals here for an afternoon?
  3. Witchery Tour – Unique to Edinburgh, this is one of the best first date ideas for anyone in the city. There’s so much history to take in, and with a history of witchcraft in the area, it might just give you two a little magic for the day!
