Thought I'd dig this up.
I didn't make a big deal out of it (I hope) but I went speed dating last week.
There were no men that I clicked with, but I did come away with the mobile number of the lady who was sat next to me - thanks to there being almost double the amount of women to men we were able to chat for a while.
We agreed to go out next week, but today in a Sunday magazine I read an article on a club night called
Big Girls' Paradise which is held in London once a month. It's next weekend.
I am going to try to persuade her to come to this with me. She is larger than me, so I hope she won't be offended, but it seems ideal. I love to dance - I mean really love to dance - and haven't been to a place that plays mainstream music where I can really let go in ages. I know she is looking for love, but I am really just up for a good time - no euphemism intended. For her, there might be men there who are interested. For me there should be good music, dancing and not feeling out of place.
I have ordered a corset from eBay. Here's hoping it looks good and she agrees. I might go alone otherwise.
I'm back to trying to meet people, can you tell?
