Movies

I bought tickets to the preview of a Secret Life of Walter Mitty about a month before the showing, I am pretty sure I had them before I started to date Alice. The reason I got them was two fold:
  1.  I wanted to see the movie.
  2.  I figured it would push me to ask out a girl.
So it worked out I guess as it had pushed me to go on the 2-4 dates I you have just read. Any way you probably don't care if you are reading this but I loved the movie….. she didn't (so I had to pretend that I didn't like it either because I thought it was too awkward to disagree). After last weeks no proper kiss debacle, I took somewhat of a stand outside the cinema and went for it. She was running late so she cycled in so I didn't need to drop her home (I forgot to check if she made it home ok but then remembered just as it was too late, it would have been a bit awkward to have checked in at that stage)
Aaaaaany way it was progress.

Friday 6 December 2013

So apparently I wasn't stood up.

I'm now even more confused over what to call this date, it is either our 2nd or 4th. Anyway we saw significant progress in that she showed up. Already I could write this off as more of a success then last time!
Anyway we were both absolutely starving and in the mood for a good feed (thankfully because I really wasn't in the mood for tapas or a fashionable restaurant with tiny portions) so we just went out for a nice burger place near by.
Our mutual friends that had introduced us had just broken up so I was already feeling pretty forlorn, she didn't really seem to give a shit so that cheered me up as I realised it wasn't my problem.
After I caught the bill we went for a drink in a bar around the corner where I then preceded to spend the next hour or so not making a move because I had just remembered that I was a massive chicken shit. After we had both come to terms with the fact that I wasn't going to make a move, we got out of there and went our different ways.
Yup as disappointed as you are having wasted the last minute reading this you can only imagine how much of a twat I felt like walking home.
