When I joined an internet dating site I promised my friends that I would give everyone a fair chance, rather than dismissing people for being too short, too old, having too big a head...you get the picture. And so I have been doing just that.
Also when I first joined internet dating I trawled through profiles sending "winks" and composing what I thought would be interesting emails that would render me irresistable to the opposite sex. This was not the case, it would seem even internet men are still managing to resist my lovely self.
The first guy that got in touch with me seemed ok, he wasn't too bad looking and sent nice polite messages and seemed to be interested in my life whilst still offering lots of information about himself. However there wasn't anything exciting about him. Not at all. And so when he asked to meet up I wasn't overly enthused, however decided to go for it in line with my promise to my friends and also because he seemed so friendly that he deserved a drink and neither of us had anything to lose from it, we could be friends even if the worst came to the worst.
So I met up with him one Sunday afternoon. He doesnt live in the same city as me and so I met him at the train station and took him to a bar where I felt comfortable and that was close to the bar I work in. This has now become my first date bar.
When I first met him I thought he seemed a little odd and knew that he definitely wouldn't be for me. I wasn't attracted to him in the slightest. As we were talking he seemed nice enough, but way to serious and he just didnt't seem to have much in common with me at all.
So to cut a long story short he eventually told me that he has Asbergers syndrome. For those who are unfamiliar people with this condition find social situations very awkward and find making eye contact difficult. He also told me that he has a lot of anger management issues. I felt really bad for thinking it at the time but I felt as though this was further evidence that he wasn't for me as I thought I couldn't take this on. But then I didn't know how to leave the situation, especially when he said that he felt more comfortable with me than most new people he meets. Urgh, cringe!
He didn't text me for a week after we went on our date which made me feel very relieved as I wasn't sure how I would say that I didn't think we were suited. When he did text tho he just asked how I was and said that he was sorry he hadn't been in touch. I didn't deliberately ignore him but I was really busy and didn't text him back. So then next day I'm getting an arsey message saying he can tell he has obviously offended me and that he's a nice guy and deserves to know what he has done wrong. If I hadn't been already sure he wasn't for me then that would've sealed the deal!
