dating again, episode 1

So I have been dating, the usual one date wonders.

Date 1
Swedish, 46
I was hard pressed to find something to say during the date.  It was a coffee date which was good, you know it will end within the hour! Telling me about his hernia operation wasnt something I thought was first date conversation... but then hey rules have changed!

Date 2
Australian, 52
I liked this one and we had drinks and lovely conversation.  we were supposed to have date 2 but he called the day before that could happen to say that he had met someone else he liked better, and he wanted to pursue that.  ok fine I understand but what I didnt quite get was why was he still active on the website and still trawling?  oh well

Date 3
Indian 44
he looked older, he looked different from his pictures.  He was short and skinny and his clothes looked too big for him, he smelt bad and he had a front tooth missing.  Yes am shallow!! Good thing we met for coffee as I was eager to escape.  He did want to have lunch but I said I had too many errands to run but he did however manage to extract a half promise for lunch on sunday!

I remind myself that it took me a year and a bit of bad dates before I met A and Mr NZ so its not going to be that easy.  I know I will have to date alot of toads and one date wonders before I find someone that will want to have that second and third date.  I am hopeful, but the thought of kissing those toads is making me nauseous.
