Mission 1 - Me vs The Activist

Whilst in the 'Owl and Pussycat' in Shoreditch, London I spotted a pretty looking barmaid who seemed to be taking an interest in me and my night. We chatted briefly about how she was tired due to over indulging the night before and that I was having a good evening. On my next trip to the bar, I thought that if she showed an interest I would ask her out.


Me: Hi, two pints of Becks please
Her: Ok, So, how's your evening? Still going well?
Me: Yeah, how about you? Still feeling tired?
Her: Yeah, still tired. But doing OK
Me: Wow, it's amazing how that doesn't change in the space of 20 minutes. So, do you work here full time?
Her: Yeah, but usually I am up in the Restaurant.
Me: Cool, so what do you do when you are not working here?
Her: Well, that depends what fun things are on offer (She smiles flirtatiously)
Me: What like clubbing seals?
Her: I'm a fucking activist!
Me: Oh, wow, urm......bad joke to make to an activist, hey?
Her: Or to anyone!
Me: Yep
Her: £7.40 please.

And that was the end of that brief interest. So the moral of the story is; Always make jokes about clubbing seals, because it is better to look like an ass than ending up on a date with an activist.

Mission Status: Failed (With valuable lesson learned)

A Single Man in London

So, a few weeks ago, tragedy struck as once again I was left a single man. Sharing a flat with an ex is something I have become accustomed to, however it is to be short lived. 

Even though the whole situation was a sad affair, I have decided to be brave and ‘get back on the horse’ asap. And I thought it would be fun if you guys came with me. Maybe you will learn something. Maybe what to say to a woman, but probably just what not to say and how not to act. 

So, I will be blogging all of my dating adventures for the foreseeable future, giving you unprecedented access to my dating site profile, and my social life. How exciting right?
