Caz

Caz is 29, and she's a mate of Si's. He seems to have this thing about trying to set me up. Probably something to do with his neice, Tammy, living with him now, and him having no faith in my ability to not flirt with her. I suppose I can see his point - I wouldn't trust me with her either! Anyway. Caz and I met last time we all went for a night out, and everyone else mysteriously vanished, leaving the two of us alone. We had a few drinks and a bit of a kiss, and agreed to meet up when we were both sober.

We met up last week, where I learned something about Caz. She's not great at conversation without a few drinks in her. Shy girls I can handle, but she didn't actually seem shy, just...I dunno. Every time I said something, she responded with "Is it?" or something else that was basically just an acknowledgment. Every time I asked her something about her, I was getting single word answers, nothing to invite me to probe a little deeper and continue the conversation.

Normally, I'd take this as a sign of disinterest, but according to Si she's definitely interested, and given that she keeps calling to arrange another date, I believe him. The problem is, dates are bloody hard work when you've got to keep trying to think of things to talk about, when you're not getting any feedback. And we're definitely not in that 'something really special, when you can just shut the fuck up and enjoy the silence together' zone, as endorsed by Mia Wallace.

If we do go out again, I'm thinking a cinema date.
