‘Date’ arranged
What’s good about this lad?
- alive.
- youngster (35yrs - I’m ageist, prefer ‘healthy’ lads)
- can get his hands on fire-engines (big, red, warm and shiney, YUMMY!)
- paramedic skills (useful for when I fall over).
- Loves his mum and spontaneously offered to lend her to me.
- is cheeky and potentially subversive.
- when warned about my English ‘yellow wonky’ toothipegs he told me his dog’s yellow teeth hadn’t stopped them bonding. Incidentally, he has the shiniest white teeth I’ve ever seen. This is a difficult achievement in teeth-bleaching US.
- suggested we go to a Kareoke bar hosted by an MC that is proudly living in the 1980s.
- asks me questions, listens to what I say and then asks more, pertinent questions (i.e. not arrogant, not self-obsessed).
- can use a cell-phone and email despite mysterious happenings.
- removed his internet dating profile after we’d mailed and chatted.
- No kitty-allergies.
What’s less good about this lad?:
- 45mins drive between us (no direct bus service).
- limited meeting opportunites because of respective work commitments.
- slips into espousing his life philosophy in small monologues (I guess I can catch 20 winks when this happens).
The less good stuff is all relatively trivial...
