Organised Dating Events

Well last night I went to a dating site organised evening. All very interesting and a lot of fun. Met up with somebody I had been talking to on a dating site at around midnight.

She had posted her size as "Prefer Not To Say" and she was a very big girl. 42 "professional" and drank her pint in seconds.

I had a quick chat and a dance with her and she made it quite clear I was to be buying all of her drinks by pointing at her empty glass.

Describing herself as a champagne and chocolates girl in her dating profile and letting me know in a previous email that she liked a traditional male/female set up, although a little under the influence, I was in no doubt she was after a lot more chocolate and champagne and if i came up to scratch, I'd b e paying for it.

This girl wasn't going to be into outdoor pursuits as I would be worried she would drop dead of a heart attack running for a cake never mind enjoying any kind of moderately strenuous exercise. Holidays would be expensive because she would definitely need 2 seats in economy (no lie) and of course she had a young child too.

When she had worked out that I was expecting her to buy the next round she disappeared outside for a cigarette. As she described herself as an "Occasional Smoker" this was not completely unexpected but I was left wondering how occasional with someone seemingly incapable of forgoing the next slice of chocolate cake or bottle of champagne...

When I got outside she made it clear I was no longer on the menu as she didn't extradite herself from her conversations with a couple of fellow smokers and come and sit with me. I gave her a nod and a smile and left. I walked home some 5 miles, reckoning the exercise would go someway to using up the calories I had consumed in lager.

Messaged her the next day to say I had got the message and that of course she was lovely, it was a shame etc.. Why dent a fragile ego. She messaged back saying I was a nice guy but something I said had "disturbed" her. I am sure she was right !

One of the things that is great about this type of outcome is you can move forwards with the next person free of the "baggage" and complexity of trying to juggle /woo two women at once. I know who I want to meet next and she looks lovely from her profile....
