Motorhead (not his real name or his dating profile username) was to be my first victim of my new era of Internet dating. As per my current process I don’t send Contact Requests – I’ve just been sitting back and seeing what comes my way. And probably 2 months back this one came my way. Why has it taken so long to meet him? My busy life, his busy life, my need to wrap things up with The Claytons BF. So here’s the low down
Age:32
Height: 6’0″
Star Sign: Sagittarius
Kids: no
Want Kids: Undecided
All signs are pointing to a positive encounter. Our chats/texts have been reasonably interesting – he remembers things I’ve told him which is always a plus and when suggesting a location for our first date – he suggested something close to where I live – also a plus! To say I was nervous was an understatement – I arrived early to have a relaxing glass of sauv blanc and just chill. Was there spark? No. Did the conversation flow? Yes. Was he nice? Yes. Did he actually look like his profile pic? Amazingly yes
Issues: he LOVES cars and I am so not a car person at all. I’d mentioned a friend had just bought a new car and we spent 15 mins talking about a car I have so little knowledge of. He questioned my decision to keep renting rather than buy a house (on the first date???) And when I talked about the concerts I’m going to in the next 6 months he picked up on the most commercial of the lot and said “I’ll give you that”. Gee thanks for your generosity.
I’m not writing him off just yet. I’ve said yes to a second date (time and place to be determined) but is it worth it without a spark? Am I expecting too much in wanting a spark? Argh!
