Anyone who knows me just laughs at me when I end up going on a date with someone from a mediterranean background as my ex is from a Greek background. I do find myself drawn to these kind of guys, not that it really matters what the background, but it’s just funny that a few of them I have dated have been Greek, Maltese, Italian; must be my flawed perception of them being romantic that sucks me in!!! But as we all know romance is dead in the water these days so it doesn’t matter where they come from, the majority still haven’t heard of a dictionary to look up the meaning of the word. (**Apologies in advance to all the gorgeous men out there that did in fact remember Valentines Day and are romantic, I do know they exist as friends of mine have them).
I am not going to tell all of the story as it’s too long for one blog, I dated this guy for about three months. Not that you can say it was three months, the actual time spent with this bloke was probably only a couple of weeks. This was the first of the timewasters!
After the disaster of my online scammer (probably from Nigeria or who knows where they are these days) I decided to give it all away for a few months. I wasn’t getting any attention on the site that the potential scammer was on anyway and I started to think maybe I had two heads or something. I didn’t think I looked too bad for a late 40’s female with all her teeth!! and a job.
The idea to try another dating site was put to me by my beautiful young tennis team mate one night when I was talking about how I hadn’t been on one date in almost 14 months of being seperated. She just couldn’t believe it so she suggested this site that is free and let me tell you it was like nothing else, I was getting messages left right and centre. Unfortunately most of them with heads that only their mother’s could love……I know you are thinking I am mean but seriously I have some taste! LOL
There was one who particularly caught my eye he was in my opinion handsome with dark eyes, olive skin and gorgeous!! We communicated for about six weeks before I finally met him (I now know that I would never waste my time for six weeks before meeting someone!!), clearly this guy was talking to god knows how many other women. You definitely know the signs of what’s going on after so many years in this caper.
So, it was arranged to meet on a Sunday afternoon at 3pm. I arrived and he was already sitting there, when I came towards him he stood up and held my chair out ready for me to sit down, I was very impressed with this. The waiter came and I of course ordered a wine (let’s face it, it was close enough to wine o’clock) and he ordered a coffee, when the order was made this guy felt comfortable enough to have a little dig about me ordering wine with the waiter, I enjoyed that immensely, my friends know that I am cheeky by nature so I felt at ease immediately.
This date was going very well, after about two hours he said he needed to go. As we left he opened the door for me and then walked on the street side (a very old fashioned and gentlemanly thing that men used to do) and held my hand, I tell you I was in heaven. I am an old romantic by nature and this I am told is what gets me into trouble as I am dreaming about what happens in a Hollywood movie (Hollywood has a lot to answer for!!) and let’s face it, it’s all a fantasy …..enough ranting for now at least! ……anyway moving on…..he then walks me to my car and gives me a big kiss….. I felt smitten by this guy but little did I know then that he is just another one who I ‘NEVER HEARD FROM HIM AGAIN’!!! LOL Although there is more to the story, he was not quite a complete never heard from him again so I probably shouldn’t say that but I will continue with this later.
Until then, enjoy the weekend.
