Date 35

"There is a light and it never goes out"

This day stood out for me more for the fact that my beloved Newcastle United were relegated and also due to my absolute amazement at receiving an out of the blue text from date 28 (4 months after I'd last seen her). An obvious parallel can be drawn between my football club and the aforementioned red wine swilling fantasist; and that would be that I adored them both and gave them my unswerving loyalty but ultimately all I got back in return was disappointment and pain. It's hard being a male of the species.

With all this going on I met up with date 35 as well (although thankfully the above events took place when I was on my way home)! We had a very pleasant afternoon and I asked her at the end if she wanted to hook up again and she said she'd let me know, which wasn't a good sign. Thus, she contacted me a day or so later and said she did want to meet up for drinks, but only as friends. We're still sort of in touch but I haven't seen her again since.
