I know a great Balti house... They even serve Kingfisher lager! (just kidding).
It's all common sense advice which I've handed out to mates in the past. Like I've said, it's more about the way confidence deserts you when you need it most - like the fickle friend that it is.
Maybe we should start a new post called "First date disasters"?
How about this one....:
A couple of months back I swapped numbers with a lass who seemed sweet and harmless enough.
The next day my phone rang about three times, it was said lass calling me for "a chat". No problem, but I was working at the time and tried to tactfully suggest she waits until after 5:30pm.
Minutes later a text arrives. "What have I done wrong?"
Oh hell... I text back to apologise for being abrupt but I was working and had a deadline to meet.
Later that evening I'm making arrangements to meet, when a text arrives "are you going to stay over tonight?".
Whoa!!! Let's just concentrate on the first date shall we? I gave her the benefit of the doubt and met up later that day. There was no "spark" there, so after a couple of hours I thanked her for a most charming evening and left, despite her asking me once again if I was going to stay the night.
Next thing I get a text from her berating me for not giving enough "attention"....
