Been quite a week on the dating front. Started with the insane alcoholic who drank four bottles of wine, told me she wouldn't have sex with contraception because she's Christian (I was neither drunk nor stupid enough to go along with this), almost refused to leave the following day, and then stole another bottle of my wine when she did.
Then on the opposite end of the spectrum I went for a walk along the lake at 7:30 this morning with an absolutely gorgeous woman and her dog, then we went to the farmers' market and brunch. All being well seeing her again tomorrow evening, really hope she doesn't turn out to be a lunatic.
A mate at work who is mid forties is on the dating scene.
The stories are amusing but dating at this age doesn’t seem like it’s for the feint hearted.
Recent dates include a woman calling him fat (he’s not), one saying she loved him after a couple of dates and wanted to clean his house and another getting a bit aggressive with a noisy child.
Good stuff. Mate of mine who's single in his mid-40s and living in London was telling me recently about his internet dating, which is totally alien to me.
Apparently he'd been chatting to a couple of women (obviously separately) and arranged to meet. He got the first one to Regent's Park for mid-morning on a Sunday. They met at the refreshments kiosk, he bought her cup of tea and they went for a circular walk around the park. Got back, said goodbye, waited 15 minutes and the second one turned up. Refreshments kiosk, cup of tea, same walk, etc.
I'm told this sort of practicality is quite normal. Fair play.
