The First Date
I had my first date on Wednesday night. A career girl, strong and independent. A first for me - all my other girlfriends have been the clingy, needy type. Independence is definitely a good quality right now - the last thing I need is someone to rely on me. Same for her - she's only just come out of a relationship, but she has a lot more strings and red tape to deal with than me - it's things like that that make me feel lucky I got out when I did.So we went to Roberto's. Roberto's is a fantastic little Italian place hidden down a quiet street - the kind of place you don't even notice unless you know it's there. They also happen to do the best Italian food in the city.
We chatted, we ate, we drank wine. A thoroughly enjoyable evening. After the meal, we went to the pub, where she insisted on paying for the drinks, since I wouldn't let her pay for the meal. A pleasant drink, slightly spoiled by her seeing her ex's mother.
After that, we retired to my place for a few more drinks and a couple of episodes of CSI before bed. I was actually astounded at how well I got on with this girl, and how much we had in common. An absolutely fantastic night, and I'm very much hoping for a second date. One date at a time though, don't want to get too involved now....
Next morning, I knocked up some breakfast (Potato wedges and fish fingers - I think a shopping trip is called for about now), before we sorted her a taxi home.
This brings us right up to date. I'll update as and when now, hopefully every few days.
