Ms M

This post is about the one and only date that I have had in my month at Fling Finder. It was with Ms M, an Asian woman from Melbourne's outer West who is in her late 20s. I had been chatting to her online for about two and a half weeks before we finally met. I thought that we had some sort of connection but looking back I am not so sure. Again I don't want to go into too many details about anyone. I don't want anyone to be able to be identified through what I say. I will try to be as discrete as I possibly can be.

I met Ms M for dinner and a drink at a local restaurant. She was a largish lady but still very attractive. She has a very pretty face. I think that she may be a bit self-conscious about her weight, because she asked me a few times if she was what I expected. I guess she thinks that I am one of those people who assume all Asian women are tiny 'chilli-padis'. I've known enough Asian women to know that they come in all shapes and sizes.

I think the date went OK, although I was very self conscious and trying a bit too hard to create a good impression. I am a very shy person by nature and became quite tongue-tied during the date. She by contrast is a very talkative person and kept yapping away about her very important job and how she has so much responsibility.

One thing that did put me a little off-side is that one of the first things she mentioned was about all the bad date experiences that she had and how she didn't have sex, kiss or hold hands on a first date (All the fun things!!!). I wasn't expecting sex or anything anyway, as all I wanted to do was to meet someone new whom I could chat with and see what developed further down the track. She then told me about guys she'd met through the site who had stalked her and who hadn't been able to take the hint that she wasn't interested. Naturally when she mentioned this I assumed that this was her hint to me that she wasn't interested.

I guess I was wrong about that, as the next day I emailed to apologise for the fact that I wasn't the best of company the previous night. She then said that she had in fact enjoyed the night and would like to go out again sometime. We have since been emailing each other quite regularly but have not yet had a second date. I am still not so sure as to whether she's not stringing me along. It's been four days since she last emailed me and the last few emails seem to have been fobbing me off so to speak. Maybe she has just been busy with her high powered job and I am being a bit too self conscious. I will email her again to see if she's still interested but honestly I'm really not too sure.
