Date 78

"So, phone me, phone me, phone me."

I've never been a fan of Plenty of Fish (has anyone had any good experiences from it?) but I thought that I'd give it another try, despite having been on it before and deleting my profile on both occasions and vowing never to go back.

At first, we exchanged a few brief messages that weren't really going anywhere, then one night she emailed in the early hours of the morning saying she was drunk and did I want to meet her the following evening. I didn't read it until the morning so replied and said yes. I waited for her response as to what she wanted to do all day then finally got a message at about 5 or 6pm saying she was now going out with a friend so could she cancel? I wasn't happy as I don't know why she'd bothered to ask in the first place and I'd kept open my evening. I can't remember how I responded but it was brief and I wasn't bothered about actually meeting her.

I assumed I'd never hear from her again, but a month or so later I got a message from her with her mobile number late one Saturday night, asking me to call her. I did and we must have spoken for about 4 hours or so. We did the same the next few nights and spoke at length about everything and anything. During one of the conversations things did get a bit saucy but ultimately we both got a bit shy and nothing happened!

We met up for drinks a couple of days later and had a great night and seemed to be really comfortable with each other as we had been on the phone. She was very attractive and while we were at a restaurant towards the end of the night, she laid her cards on the table and said she really wanted to see me again; to which I agreed.

On our way back to the station we were holding hands and had a bit of a kiss on the platform and she re-iterated how she wanted to see me again, and on the way home she texted me to say thanks for a wonderful evening.

As she'd kept emphasising how much she wanted to go on a second date, I though this meant that a second date was a distinct possibility...see, I can read signals. We exchanged a few texts the next day then they just stopped. She'd been made redundant the day before our date so I thought not hearing from her was because she was busy job hunting. She took a week to reply to my last text then after me responding they stopped again. I left it another week and asked how she was getting on with her job search and she replied saying she'd found a new one, so I then asked about a second date and she never replied, so, I just left it. I'm not really sure what happened as I was keen to see her again too, but she did strike me as being a bit flaky. I did think a lot about contacting her again but in the end I didn't because what would be the point.
