First or Last Date

I went on a first date once where the guy seemed normal at first, if not a little bit edgy. After a couple of drinks, we decided to move on for something to eat. We were in the center of London in winter and when we stepped outside into the cold nights air, he changed and started declaring his love for me! Thinking it a little over the top and somewhat odd, it was clear he had a few too many before we met.

I was too young and embarrased to make my excuses and run like hell to the train station. Or maybe it was my heels that stopped me, either way I proceeded to enter quite a fancy restaurant with someone who was now acting like a bit of a freak.

He proceeded to embarrass me further after we were closely sandwiched in between two other couples by being really loud and bolshy with the waiting staff. I discretely asked the waiter to move us to a quieter spot. With a side wink, the waiter was more than keen to help me out.

Now tucked away in the back of the restaurant with no one to boss around, he actually fell asleep in his dinner. I kid you not!… My salmon was so good, I had a chuckle with the waiter, and finished every last mouthful in silence. By now I was having fun with my predicament. I enjoyed waking him up to pay the bill, but was kind enough to fill in the total on the receipt for him so the waiters didn’t get too much more than a good laugh as I left

This one was a big fat miss!
