I'd only exchanged a few messages with this person from Match before she suggested we meet up for an afternoon drink as she was in Brighton clothes shopping one Sunday. The day actually coincided with a pathetic 'March for England' through Brighton which involved a load of so called hardmen looking for a fight in the name of nationalism. The pub I picked for us to meet at was actually the scene of the most violent confrontation of the day which occurred, unbeknownst to me, about 10 minutes before I arrived. The picture below was taken from inside the pub.

When I got there I'd had no idea what had happened as it had just been cleared up, although my date had arrived slightly earlier during the aftermath. I like my dates dangerous.
We only had a few drinks but I thought that we'd got on well and she was very attractive. Unfortunately, I contacted her the next day about a second date and she declined stating that she thought that we were at different stages in our life and she didn't know where it could go. Whilst I don't really know what she meant, at least she was honest.
During our drinks she told me about a couple of guys she'd been out on with dates previously. One of them turned out to be a racist homophobe and the other one was the most serious and non-humourous man she'd apparently ever met. Unbelievably she went out on three dates with both of them! What must she have thought of me to not want to meet up again?!
