Nothing gained

So it goes that my first outing was not entirely successful. Actually it was worse than that....

I arrived to meet my myspace buddy for trivia. It was lovely to see him, it's been a couple of months. I had figured out via facebook he was now 'in a relationship' so I knew the pressure would be off re a happy ending so to speak. Which I was glad about as we both know we have NOTHING in common (outside of a little physical attraction) so we are far better as mates.

So we sat and got reacquainted, I heard all about his new love. I then proceeded to fill him in on the husband hunt. He wasn't much support actually, he told me I should just back off, stop looking and Mr Right would show up. As if I haven't already been doing that on and off for the past 6 years! I can feel steam coming out of my ears now.

Any way, mid way through this conversation I embarked on explaining my current reality (ie a love life update). At mid point I turned to left and who is sitting RIGHT NEXT TO ME?! None other than Mr home town. Of all the nerve, I was supposed to be chatting up a prospect and instead I end up caught between my MySpace ex and Mr Local! And it was really rather an awkward moment. I had just finished telling Myspace about this bloke who I'd been out with twice and who was yet to follow up for date 3. Then he goes and sits right next to me.

I went to great pains to ensure Mr Local realised I wasn't in fact on another online date. I'm sure he got the message. He didn't ask me out though. And big surprise - I haven't heard from him since. I will admit though, when I looked from left to right the realisation dawned that I was actually more attracted to my 'friend' than to my prospect. Not really the right way around huh!

Suffice to say, I did not approach a 3rd bloke. I did go home and send out a few online kisses, as I guiltily pondered the matter . Not quite the same though is it?

So I guess I failed. Which puts even more pressure on me as I head out this evening. Can I manage to engage an unsuspecting man in dialogue tonight? Stay tuned for tomorrows exciting update!

Oh and by the way....my MySpace buddy continued to pester me a little once I got home - via text. It seems although he knows it's wrong he just get enough of moi. That's what I'm telling myself anyway. Don't worry I didn't act on it, I am like so over casual you know what right now.
