So last week I had my first date from “plenty of fish” also known as POF. No big deal, it was a date. I’ve not been on the site long but must admit that I’ve been loving the attention I’d been getting so when I arranged to see one guy I’d been messaging, I was excited. 

I arranged a babysitter and was good to go. 

He cancelled stating he’d been asked to work, he’s deleted his profile now so I will never know what the deal is there. 

Anyway, not wanting my babysitter arrangements to go to waste and having been messaging another guy on there, I asked him if he was free to meet. He was. 

Excellent. 

We met at a nice pub. 

I find starting off a date with a casual hug for a greeting is usually a good way to go, it’s a bit of early physical contact and helps a person assess how friendly and open another person is. 

We went into the pub, ordered drinks and sat down. 

Straight  away my date was very complimentary about me, how I look, what I was wearing etc, he wanted to know why I had replied to his message and why I had wanted to meet. It was going well. We soon established this was a first POF date for both of us, which put me at ease. Also, I don’t really get too nervous about dates and as I couldn’t decide if I fancied him or not, I relaxed even more. 

Conversation flowed. We chatted about alsorts. Music, jobs, family, porn, nakedness etc. 

Yes, that’s right, you did just read the words porn and nakedness! 

I don’t know how I manage it, but I always seem to find myself talking about inappropriate stuff with people I’ve just met 🤐 (see post “tits pervert” for further evidence of this). I can only put it down to my openness and ability to put people at ease. They just seem to tell me all their secrets! 😂🙉

I can’t decide if this is a good thing or a bad thing. I suppose by having these conversations we both know where we stand on the topics and it means there is blunt honesty from the start. It also gets me into trouble at times. 

It wasn’t until I was telling a friend about how the date had gone and she said “how do you always manage to have these conversations with people?” did I even regard it as unusual. 

All I will say is this…it didn’t put him off 😉 xx
