    Good date? Hmmmmmm......didn't go quite to plan. :o

    Met him, he seemed quite nice, not bad looking, went for a drink and we were chatting a bit, but it all felt a bit awkward, and I noticed he made a LOT of eye contact, absolutely non-stop. And it seemed like the more we talked, the more intently he stared at me, to the point where after 2 drinks I was feeling desperately uncomfortable and could barely look at him.

    Then he started commenting on my shyness (which was only so bad because of how he was being), and saying I didn't make much eye contact and I must be nervous because I was drinking quickly (so made me conscious of absolutely everything basically).

    We went into another bar for a third drink, and by this point, conversation had ground to a halt, and it was the most uncomfortable I have ever been on a date in my entire life.

    He went to the loo and... :o:o I ran. About a mile across Leeds, in high heels, all the way to the train station, jumped on a train and went home. :o:o

    I did text as soon as I left the pub, so he would know I'd gone before he came out of the loo....but still, I am feeling pretty crap about it.

    Got home and spent a couple of hours crying on Mr Sunday's shoulder on MSN, then he said he was going to bed and would I be able to sleep. I said no, I didn't think so, would probably stay up and read. And then he said 'come over, if you don't want to be alone'.

    Thought he was joking so there was a bit of banter about it, and then he said 'Go on then, get your coat on, see you in an hour' (he lives quite a distance away). So I threw a couple of things into a bag and went! At 12.30am, in the rain and the fog, up onto the dales!

    I got there at 1.30am (must point out that I wasn't over the limit as I had planned to drive home from the station after my date anyway), and spent the night cuddled up to him in his bed (no rudeness...not till this morning anyway :rotfl:), and then spent the morning with him, until he had to leave for his hockey match.

    Not quite the evening I had planned. :o But it ended in a much nicer way than it began.

    Sounds much better indeed :)
    YOUR = belonging to you (your coat); YOU'RE = you are (I hope you're ok)

    really....it's not hard to understand :T

    Glad the night worked out better in the end Snaggs!

    BB, why was he trying to drive your car anyway? Although I guess being a man he just had to play with the new toy.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Well half way through putting up the Christmas decorations and have kinda lost interest!

    I am trying to throw away some old stuff but everytime I suggest something can go, my daughter says no!

    We bought some new stuff yesterday - yankee candle holders etc that cost £70 but I said it was on the priviso that some old stuff goes, but it looks like she is not keeping to her side of that particular bargain!!

    car is here. I feel scared and excited at the same time at driving something different - I'm almost too scared to even start it up :o

    gulp - going to drive it round the block. I doubt I'll even meet another car but it will be a big thing for me because of my fear of driving and it being so different. I am such a bloody wuss :rolleyes:

    I'm exactly the same with my courtesy car, it scares me that it's 1.5 times what I earn in a year _pale_

    I just heard a really funny story in the hairdressers........

    One of the girls was waiting to pick her husband up in Middlesbrough last night reading a women's magazine as she waited in the car when a bloke knocked on her car window and asked her "how much".........she turned the magazine over looked at the price and said 70p:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Poor lass........:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
