Two men, two kisses.
An ego boost but I felt used.

Bad date - 30th October 2011
So.....guy contacts me on Guardian Soulmates and asks if I would like to meet up. He looks ok, his profile isn't too pretentious (they usually are on Soulmates) and so I say yes. Plus, I'm going to the other side of the world for two weeks so if it's awful then I can just 'disappear'.
We meet up, he seems ok, and the conversation flows. He sits up close to me, his body language implies he is attracted. Or perhaps he just couldn't hear me. It was noisy after all.
His profile says "Trust me. I'm funny". And was he? Er, no. Would I write that on a profile anyway? Er...no!
Then he asked about my feminism and, when I responded, he came back at me quoting bits from his philosophy course (the one he's studying in his spare time). I found this a bit infuriating and ended up getting a bit riled but trying not to show it.
**As I type this I am trying to drag my eyes from the lovely Mitchell (the vampire) from Being Human. Which is very hard to do. Where are the guys who look like him?**
It was all getting a bit heavy and I tried my best to steer the conversation back to something more lighthearted. I reread his e-mails to me again and he told me that we would have an "engaging conversation". There's a little bit of arrogance there, I think? Would I say that to someone? Er...I think not!
**Ahh, Mitchell....you were in the same city as me for months and I didn't know.**
It was late, we left and he went to get his bike. It was left to me to say the niceties as we parted. I stood there and flapped my arms and said, "well, it was nice to meet you." He said, 'yes, bye', and that was it! I was taken aback - even if he didn't want to see me again, I felt I deserved more than that.
Needless to say, I've not contacted him and he's not contacted me. I've been very tempted to e-mail and berate him gently for his rudeness but have restrained myself. The whole experience left me feeling pretty horrible.
NEXT!!!!
