Dating Site Guy Numero Uno

Last year I decided to join a dating website - which believe it or not was not my idea! I got pushed into doing it, I swear! (Gun to my head and all sorts!). Anyways, totally enjoyed the interest I received … 630 interests in first 3 weeks and over 4,000 profile views! Let me add to the stats – 300 interests were in 48hours! Yes! I am boasting… but even Cheryl Cole or Kim Kardashian probably wouldn’t get that!

So I did my usual searching through 1,000 minging profiles and came a cross a nice looking guy, to whom I expressed an interest. About a week later, he accepted. However, I’m a cheapskate Indian and did not wish to fork out £51 for 3 months just so I can contact the guy, so tried to find him on facebook! If there ever was an award for Facebook stalker of the century, hands in the air, I would win that! I didn’t even know the guys name based on his profile but guessed what it might be from his nick named user ID and searched through about a few hundred and stumbled across his profile on facebook!

Introduction numero uno!

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 26^th 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!
