I had to ring my business partner this morning to let him know there was no chance of me making it into the office. Its gone midday and I'm still not fully functional.....the first sickie of many I think...
I met my date after work and we went to a local cocktail bar that conventiently has 2 for 1 on all cocktails until 8pm on a tuesday. Rude not to indulge really and that we did. She wasn't a knock out, but fairly attractive and my preconceptions of the festival loving earthy type were completely wrong - born and bred in Brixton with a south London accent and a love for mixing cocktails on an empty stomach it seemed.
We moved onto a bar with a beer garden at around 10 and by this stage, we were both fairly lively. We ended up chatting to a few other groups on the long table we were all sat at and I instigated an arm wrestling competition - this is something I do alot recently when drunk and I have no idea why. I'm scared of my own shadow most of the time, so not sure what this little fad is all about. Hopefully it will pass soon enough.Anyway, with this going on and my date drunkenly chatting to randoms, I found myself on another table with a couple of other girls, one of whom was showing some interest. I managed to swap numbers without too much attention being drawn and I was off into the darkness, tripping over a handbag and falling into the bench I was supposed to be at.....the perfect getaway....
Now I was back with my date and we somehow communicated enough to move onto another bar. By this point we were both on our last legs. It was 1ish and we'd been drinking without food since 5. Not ideal and she had matched me all the way. We then started kissing like teenagers which is a sure sign for me that I'm too drunk - I hate PDA. Really hate it. She suggested coming back to mine and we literally stumbled into a taxi and headed home.
She woke me this morning in a real panic at 7 saying she couldn't be late for work...it was her first week at a new job!!! Good girl. Takes some going to get that drunk two days into your new career.
Nothing happened between us as we both woke fully clothed. I'm pretty glad as we were so inebriated.
What I am suprised at is both dates having been up for a bit of "fun" on the first night. I've been out of the dating scene for a while but guessing this may have something to do with the Sex and the City affect. I always thought that show had alot to answer for with the complete over the top empowerment of women, but if this is what its turned them into, maybe I'll purchase the boxset.......
I'm off now to eat, drink water and hopefully get rid of this headache. Hangovers aren't getting any easier, but with my dating schedule, they ll become more regular for sure.
Oh, my first date text to say she would like to meet up again. I'm going to as I feel like the coat could have been a curve ball. Everyone deserves a second chance, although if she turns up in that again, it will be 2 strikes and you're out....
Show me a woman who doesn't feel guilt and I'll show you a man.....
