Lauren, 29. Sunday Dec 23. 8pm.
We went on our first date 2 years ago. I remember being infatuated by her. She was a stunner. But she didn’t feel the same about me. I came across our old messages on Kik and managed to reignite a conversation. Within a week she had agreed to meet me for a second first date.Â
We met in the city at Bartronica, played some computer games, drank cider and the banter was free flowing. Off to a great start. She’s the kind of girl looking for a Female Led Relationship. If you don’t know what that is, it’s basically a relationship where the woman wears the pants. Officially. So I’d be signing up to be voluntarily whipped, but hey - I’m no stranger to the alternative life.
Bartonica is a great bar. Everything from arcade games to Nintendo 64 and Super Nintendo. We finished up playing a bit of Donkey Kong and headed to Stalactites to get some late night food. Along with a side of chips came my insecurity and alcohol was doing nothing to stop my oversharing.Â
Lesson learned: Telling a girl they’re out of your league isn’t cute.Â
She left with a kiss on the cheek and a playful punch, which is about as much action as I got before my eventual second-ghosting.
