i think my first ever bumble date was also my worst.
so there's that i guess.
---
we need to take ourselves back to the time that was 2017 and the time of my life i'd rather forget. i was curled up in my bed staring at the ceiling.
'i'll get you at 7, i insist'.
eventually the panic subsided and i was able to justify it in that this way i wouldn't have to worry about parallel parking.
how wrong i was. i had so much more to worry about than parallel parking.
he started off the car journey listing off the ways he was a pretty epic date and how lucky i was. just straight off the bat. initially i thought he was joking. turns out he wasn't.
about halfway through the drive there i realised what a mistake this whole thing had been and was desperately thinking of a get out plan.
nope.
i still didn't have one when he told me what to eat for my starter, how to eat it and when to stop eating it.
the main came and i was mulling over just how little fun i was having - then the waitress dropped the bombshell 'he brings all his dates here'. yep even better.
he then gave me a box of chocolates and offered to drive me round for a bit. i politely declined but got the tour anyway.
once it was over i thanked him and made no promises to ever speak again.
he however had other plans.
his ego wouldn't let me just say no and he seemed to require a 4 part book titled 'why i don't want to date you'.
i blocked him as best i could and once he realised i wasn't going to reply seemed to get the message.
one final attempt on Instagram saw me lose my temper and write a regrettably long message in response.
and then i blocked him.
