"Meat is Murder."
For some reason, I went back onto Plenty of Fish and the usual happened where I sent a fair few messages to women and predictably: I didn't receive any replies. Then, rather surprisingly, someone I'd not sent a message to, actually sent me an email first.
We appeared to have a lot in common and exchanged several emails back and forth, until I sent her one asking if she'd like to go for a drink and they just stopped. I found this a bit odd so I sent her another message a week later. I wouldn't normally do that as I'd usually take the hint and move on, however, I thought that she seemed very cool. The tactic actually bore fruit, and she responded and apologised for not replying, and said she would like to go for a drink.
We met up in Brighton and got way too tipsy for a school night and I thought that we'd got on really well. She was a few years younger than me and very good company. I texted her the next day and asked her if she wanted to go out again and she said she would, which I was very positive about and we agreed to meet up again the following Friday. I suggested we go out for dinner, and with her being vegetarian, I did some research and found a really great restaurant for us to go to in the South Lanes.
However, when I sent her a text the next day to ask her if she fancied the restaurant I'd chosen, I was rather disappointingly sent the below:
"Hmm, would love to eat out but can't really afford to, sorry. I'm not sure I can afford dating at all, really. I kind of spent my month's 'socialising' budget the other night! It's a bit pathetic. Also, I've been giving it some thought, and while I really liked meeting you and thought we got on well, you're great company, I don't think I feel like there was a romantic spark there, to be honest...so do you mind if we leave it for now?"
I guess her beer goggles must have worn off.
