post date analysis

Todays date goes down as the funniest one ever! It's been a comedy of errors, which only seemed to make the day better than ever!

We agreed to meet at 'beauty spot' kind of between the two of us. The pub by the river. Sounds simple doesn't it. I get there a little early, so park up to wait for him. Here's the jist of the little conversation that followed:

Him: "Hi, where are you"
Me: "In the car park, where are you?"
Him: "In the car park!"

So, I get out of the car and have a look around. Nope, no sign of him. From where he said he was I reckoned he would be about 10 feet away.

Me: "I can't see you!"
Him: "Um, what's the pub called?"
Me (confused): "The Court... it's the only pub here"
Him (confused: "I'm in the George... it's the only pub here"

Turns out this tiny little 'beauty spot' has an East and a West, East being one side of the river, and West being the other side! Shit. I told him to stay put, and got back in the car to whizz over the bridge. Unfortunately the brigde now had some kind of police roadblock, so I ended up 5 miles away!!

Eventually, after directions from various people I find the right pub!! And there he was... looking Cuter and Sexier than his pics seemed to show, and armed with 5 Curly Wurlys!!!

We had a couple of drinks at the pub (you know, the one by the river!), then went for a walk. There was this kind of boat that took you from one side of the river to the other, so we thought we'd walk up to the next bridge, back down the other side and then get the boat back.

The bridge turned out to be about a mile and a half away (thank god i decided not to wear my high boots!!)! But we talked so much we didn't really notice the distance, or the time... when we eventually got to the place to get on the boat it had disappeared! So we had to walk three miles back the way we came! it's a good job we had those Curly Wurlys!!

By the time we got back we were both 2 hours late for our respective kids! Talk about responsible parents!!

I got a text off him as I was (speeding) home, and we've talked for a bit tonight!!

And before you ask... yes, I am seeing him again. He's so easy to get along with... and I think the whole 'posh' image he had of me quickly disappeared. I won't go into details, but it was a six mile walk alongside running water :)

Oh, and mum. The emergency call (you know, the one you make half an hour into a date in case I need a get out). I'm not sure you should assume if my phone is off it's because I'm having fun. Really you should be concerned about whether I'm floating head down in the river! There was no network coverage!
