Date 87

"Why is the last mile the hardest mile?"

This was my first experience of dipping my toe into the Brighton dating ocean and not much happened really.

I went back onto Guardian Soulmates as I presumed that it would provide a rich seam of the cream of Brighton female residents, but I've clearly been spoilt by London all these years as they haven't got many members on there. One girl did really catch my eye though and thankfully she replied to me and we went out on a date.

Luckily I'd found a really cool pub a couple of weeks before so we met there. She was extremely attractive and I found her very engaging and good company. We stayed for a few hours and got quite drunk and I thought we'd had a good night.

Sadly this didn't prove to be the case in her eyes though as I when I contacted her the next day to ask about a second date, she made it very clear that she didn't want to go on another one with me. One good thing did come out of this though as she'd just completed the Brighton Half Marathon and this really did inspire me as I'm now going to be running in it in February 2015. So, wish me luck as I'm going to need it...
