Sick of Being Single - Date 3 Dan 5 June, 2008 - 8:49 AM

Hmmm, not too sure what happened on this date.

We met at Retro Betty's for a burger before the movie and Date No 3 (Karl) was early so he was waiting for me out the front. He was very nervous to start with, which I don't blame him for. I guess you never know how the evening is going to turn out, what your date is going to be like and there is the added fact that the entire evening will be broadcasted over the radio the next day. So I tried to make it easy for him right from the get go.

Things were going ok to start with, beside the awkward moment when we first sat down, it kind of felt like I was interviewing him for a job (and he is the HR Consultant) but still we were having good conversation and a bit of fun. We didn't have too much in common, but it wasn't difficult to keep the conversation flowing, or the wine for that matter. I think we were a bit rushed due to the fact the movie was starting at 6.30 and we couldn't miss the start! As you may have all guessed, I'm a Sex And The City fan so there was no chance I was going to be late for it!

Just to put everyone's mind at ease, there was no funny business in the cinema, no sitting up the back in a dark corner, no sneaky yawn / arm around the back of the chair moves and certainly no lip locking. He was quite the gentleman.

However things turned very weird. Although we were having a good chat and it all seemed fun at the start, it changed pretty rapidly. After the movie when we came out both moods had changed. Mine definitely had! It could have been the movie making us sleepy, it could have been the fact that we didn't have too much in common and the movie had given us time to think about that, not sure. But what I do know is that I was no longer feeling comfortable and relaxed, I wanted the "date" to end but the night to continue on as mates.

Karl is a great guy, but it was more like I was out with a friend than a potential boyfriend. He has a great sense of humor and is really lovely. I could definitely see us hanging out, I just don't think I can see us going out.

  I think this date and any following dates will be a complete waste of time. Sex and the City is a movie that makes women think about their life choices and obviously Danielle has chosen the chap from date two.

  She has admitted to "interviewing" Karl it seems she is just putting him through his paces and going the time without any real desire to get to know him as a person.

  Dan comment on the fact they didnt have much in common but i strongly believe that you cant focus on finding commonalities when you are too busy thinking of someone else.

  Adam, I couldn't have put it better myself.

  I did feel rather absent in this 'date', still - i wish her the best of luck. Everyone deserves their own brand of happiness.. I know i'll get mine eventually =)

  Oh and a MASSIVE thank you to 92.9 for going to the trouble of putting this night together, you all did a wonderful job - I really did enjoy my night !

  Thanks guys.

  I think a reality check is in order for Danielle. You can't expect to find your perfect match when you only focus on the negatives. You don't even seem grateful to have these guys 'want' to go on dates with you. Don't waste this opportunity just because you have incredibly high expectations.

  I can't believe that someone on this blog said you can't be picky at 30! Dan, I say ditch the Perth mentality that dictates you should be married with kids by the time you're 25 and come to Melbourne!

  I find it amusing that most people talk about being single like you have the plague. There was this little thing called feminism in case Perth missed the memo. Women have a choice, so let's enjoy it!

  What about passion? Seriously people, unless you are a Desperado you wont go with just anybody, theres nothing wrong with wanting someone special!
  I think some of the people who have written on this blog need to take a long hard look at themselves before passing judgements on SOS. Jealousy, cruelty and bitchyness are not exactly traits worth being self-righteous about.
