Blind date!
The nerves are setting in today as i have agreed to go on a blind date tomorrow! a friend suggested setting me up with one of her eligble male friends a couple of weeks ago. Having had several glasses of wine at the time and surrounded by my girlie friends it seemed like a great idea so i agreed! i was particularly liking the idea that he is an equity trader (i dont really understand it but i know it means dinner is on him!)
The friend in question, Fran, has been the organiser and had already arranged a time and place for him and I to meet by last week.I agreed and all seemed fine. However now the reality of what i have agreed to is starting to hit me in. I am having all the usual pre-date feelings(what do i wear, does my hair look ok, what should i talk about...) combined with the slight terror that i may be walking around this pub not knowing who he is!
I am always deliberately 10 mins late for a date so that i am not the one who has to sit like a lemon waiting for the guy to turn up! However in this case i am wondering whether i should get there first so he can be the one walking around aimlessly??!
It has been interesting telling people I am going on a blind date and i have had mixed reactions; "but thats for ugly people" has been my favourite quote from a male friend!! However,most of my female friends think its a great idea and say i should go for it.
Although i am feeling very nervous about the whole thing i still think why not! the terms 'life is too short' and 'you only live once' do come to mind and if nothing else it will be a funny story to tell!
I appear to be absolutely hopeless at chosing the right guys for myself so i may as well let someone else do it for me.. i will keep you posted on how it goes......
