So you may question the ordeal of the Indian introduction concept! I will share my experience in the following blog post.
How it started - an Aunty knows a guy... forwards my number to family which then lands in boys hands...
The subject I met with was ‘X’ Patel, a banker aged 27 from Surrey. We had not spoken once during communications prior to the date, only texted. He was keen to do this completely blind! I agreed and we planned our ‘meeting’ for Friday 26th February 2010.
I found his manner of texting somewhat humorous and witty, so had already drawn conclusions he was a decent guy. In terms of my Facebook stalking, I am so well known for, I did not succeed. I couldn’t find him!
So our initial meeting – 18:30 was the time we set to meet at Waterloo Station. It was a cold and windy evening. My hair was swaying in the wind (swaying makes it sound nice … more like uncontrollably flying all over my face!). He called as he approached. I told him I was standing outside a nice Italian bar named Azzuro (in my head I had planned to go here all along, it was quiet and nice – and I could make an easy getaway to the train station if needed!). He crossed the road and I saw him approach. First impressions: hmmm not bad! Looks a bit like Ross from Friends. ‘I was expecting a lot worse’… which were my very words when I saw him!
