I don't know what it is about me but I live for the excitement of a new relationship: the butterflies in your tummy, the loss of appetite, the long calls, the sweet (or kinky) sms/chats, thinking about him/her just before you fall asleep and just before you wake up, the smile on your face when your phone rings and you know it's him/her! Yho, why does that feeling end mara? (I think therein lies the answer to why people cheat--side issue!)
It's amazing how, even when I've been chatting non stop on the phone over weeks and he asks me out on that crucial first date, the feeling changes from bliss to fright! Then the onslaught of the 1001 questions: what to wear, what to say, what not to wear, what hairstyle, what make up, what perfume, what shoes, what colour nail polish, what handbag, mints or gum, what to eat, what not to eat, how to laugh, how not to laugh, what movie, what restaurant, what drink..yho the list grows as D-day looms! I wonder if men put themselves through the same torture??
Eventually it's THE Saturday and you're so tense cause you're wondering if you'll have the same CONNECTION you have over the phone/computer with the guy, in person. He picks you up and leans over to give you a kiss on the cheek (a peck really!) and all your worries suddenly fade cause it all feels so natural-like it should be happening just as it should. You hit the highway and the conversation is light and strangely not FLIRTY, the music's good, you're both saying the right things and you can just feel it that the two of you are a perfect match.
Then you get to your destination and you get something to eat and horror of horrors, you're on a date with your biggest turnoff!! All those things that can go wrong go wrong:
*he laughs way too loudly and way too much at anything you say, even if it's not a joke
*he discloses too much too soon (TMI) about himself
*food flies out of his mouth each time he speaks or laughs causing him to choke on it and have a coughing fit
*he goes over his past dates and past sexual conquests IN DETAIL and is oblivious to the fact that everyone else is within earshot
You wolf DOWN a meal that would ordinarily take you an hour to finish in 10 minutes and GULP down your drink in the hope that the date ends as quickly as possible because you're regretting the decision you took to go out with this guy. In fact, you snap at the waiter when s/he asks if you'd like the dessert menu cause you know you cannot get outta there FAST ENOUGH!
As you sit through those cringe-worthy moments and incredulously feel that attraction fade, you cannot believe that just hours before you were agonising over HOW you were going to impress him! Nxxx
Ever been on a date from hell? Please share......
