Halle
Halle is a girl who has been in my MSN address book for quite a while. I have no idea how she got there, but there you go. Anyway, on Monday, we were both online, and she said hi. We got to chatting, and I learned that she used to come through drive thru years ago when I worked at McDonalds, and she recognised me instantly. Anyway, we arranged a date, and met up tonight.I recognised her immediately. At the time, I would have been 18, her 14. She used to always come through drive thru, insist on placing the order, all the while giving me shy smiles. At the end of the order, when I'd ask "Is there anything else?" one of her sisters would pipe up "Yeah, she wants your number!"
So we went to the cinema, and watched Good Luck Chuck, which is about the most chick-flicky film on at the moment. Not a bad film, but it does seem to encourage clingyness a little too much for my liking.
The downside: Halle has a daughter. I'll get that out of the way now, because I recently updated my online profiles to specifically rule out single mums. However, I'm not necessarily opposed to the idea of dating a single mum in itself. It's more the fact that, when it comes to online dating, there seems to be a correlation between single mums and a tendency to latch onto anyone who looks like a potential dad.
On the upside, we got along great. There was an immediate chemistry, and none of the usual first-date awkwardness. After the film, we went along to the casino for a coffee, and I showed her how to lose at roulette. Then I showed her how to lose at Two Way (a variation of hold-em poker, played against the house). We had a kiss on her way back to meet her dad, who was picking her up, and that was that.
Tonight, we've chatted a little on MSN, and on Friday evening, we're meeting again. This time, we're taking her daughter bowling, so I'll get a chance to see how we all get on together. That will probably be the deciding factor in whether or not there's long term potential here. Right now, I think there might be.
