I felt reluctant to go on last night’s date.  I matched with him on Bumble and we exchanged numbers after a day or so.  We had been texting back and forth and decided to meet.  I was pleasantly surprised when we met – his photos didn’t do him justice.

He was friendly and bought me a drink.  We chatted and I giggled a lot.  But I couldn’t work out if he liked me because his eye contact was a little lacklustre.  We got on well and there seemed to be a flicker of a spark but I wasn’t certain.

After two drinks, he suggested we go and have dinner or at least more drinks.  Had this been a few months ago, I would have gone but I chose to leave.  I didn’t need to get drunk and snog him for him to like me.  I definitely didn’t need to shag him for him to like me.  If he likes me, he’d like me after two drinks and a chilled date.  He was very gentlemanly and walked me to my car, despite it being in the opposite direction to his house.  We kissed on the cheek and I drove home wondering what to make of our evening.

Fortunately, it’s 24 hours later and he clearly did like me.  The messaging has resumed and I hope another date is on the cards.
