Potential list cull

Last night - (just for fun) date with Third Date Possible (who'd been off my list for a couple of weeks).

It started off very well, in a 'good to catch up' kind of way. But the more he drunk the more his feelings came out, and it seems he's still hung up on the whole 'us being a couple' thing. So, I've decided I'm not going to see him anymore, even in a 'just good friends' kind of way.

To be honest the date didn't really bode well from the start. You know how I love to spend ages getting ready... well it was all I could do to pull on some jeans!And as I'm walking to meet him I'm more interested in reading a text that Rugby Fan had sent, and wondering what to wear tonight for my new 'face to face' with Outdoor Type!!

So, definitely off my list now, and so is (Not) Earthy Kind. I was going to play golf with him this afternoon, but I've decided I'm not going to see him anymore either, for pretty much the same reason... he can't do the 'just good friends' thing either.

And there you go... a nicely slimmed down Potential list: Rugby Fan (who's fab), Outdoor Type (who's new), the Dubliners (both equally cool!), and of course Cute from Devon (who'll be proud of my date shake up... it gives him more of a chance to win the scary date challenge!)

I'm going to try a new style of first date this evening... firstly I'm going to actually read (and reread, and try to remember) Outdoor Type's profile, and secondly, this date will involve no alcohol!

That's right... no alcohol!!! Not even a glass of wine.

Why... well, it may well be alcohol that's effecting my initial judgments of Potentials. I'm quite clearly not always picking up on what their intentions are, so for this Potential I've decided I'm not going to drink for at least three dates (if it gets that far!).
