Sadly this sentiment did not come from myself but from the other party involved. After a reasonable length of time getting to know one another through the standard dating site messages, the time came when it was becoming clear that a meeting was inevitable. I pretty much already knew this was not going anywhere and was selfishly enjoying a little male attention (we all need attention from the opposite sex now and then). So the first date came around- I had hoped to meet somewhere between our two locations but he insisted that I work too hard and deserved to be taken out properly so I agreed to be picked up and taken out for dinner. On first glance, I was even more sure that this would not go anywhere. I know it's not fair to judge on looks though so I kept an open mind and let the lanky, slightly weedy, geeky looking guy take me out. Plus I couldn't exactly turn around at that point. We shared some great food and reasonable conversation but there was nothing really there for me. He on the other hand, felt that he had to see me again and I'm too chicken to say to someone's face that I didn't feel the same. By the following day, we had arranged to meet again just a few days later. The day before the second date, a dozen red roses turn up at the shop and alarm bells start ringing. I honestly thought the postman must have the wrong place. How did he know my full name? how did he know the address of my shop? And yet I still turned up for the second date- a leisurely morning being treated to lunch in a nearby town. All very lovely but still no spark and with the added aprehension that he knew more about me than I had divulged... The next few messages through the dating site only served to put me off more and more. He had already planned the next four dates and was cleaning and tidying his house for my apparently imminent visit.... It was then that I sent THE message. The one no one likes sending but it really, absolutely, definitely had to be done!
Thankfully I have avoided any further contact with the slightly stalker type and am alive to tell the tale :)
