My usual first date is a quick drink to see if you 'get along'. Mr J and I went for a drink before I went to Abu Dhabi and it was really nice.
Sadly more often than not, when you meet someone for the first time from a dating app it usually doesn't lead to anything. I've met people and they've either not looked like their pictures or I just haven't felt any 'spark' towards them. So that's why it was promising with Mr J.
We met in the afternoon and we found a nice little place to have a drink (we were both driving so non-alcoholic) along the river Thames. It was bitterly cold so it was nice being all cosy inside the bar.
After some time, we moved onto a lovely restaurant along the Thames. I was looking out towards the river and the lights were so lovely to look at - my date wasn't too bad to look at either.
I felt very at ease and happy spending time with Mr J. We both have a huge passion for travel and it's great swapping stories of our past travels and discussing future plans.
I know I am very picking when it comes to people I date. I didn't realise I was that picky before but I think my standards are pretty high. I guess the reason for this is because I've settled for much lower standards before (remember the short cheating scumbag?!) and because I am happy being independent so I have no reason to settle for anything less.
Of late, I haven't really been that interested in dating. I'm getting pretty bored of using the apps like Tinder and POF but equally I have missed having someone to just talk to. It's nice waking up in the morning and having a good morning text or having someone wish you a 'sweet dreams'.
That's why it's quite exciting chatting and spending time with Mr J. I am a bit pessimistic when it comes to dating, so I don't expect anything 'serious' to happen with Mr J but equally I am hopeful. Either way I am happy so that' all what matters.
