On the day I first contacted Susie, I also contacted V, another woman in her early forties who had no picture on her profile. Today I met V for the first time.
"Hello," she smiled as she came towards where I was sitting.
"Hi," I replied and took a step towards her.
She held out her hand, limp. A little surprised, I shook it briefly.
We sat down.
"I'm a bit nervous," she admitted.
It was only a cup of coffee (for her, tea for me), but we spent a pleasant enough hour chatting and getting to know each other. She is not the most attractive woman around and in most company would go unnoticed, but she is pleasant and we could get on.
Because I had no plans, I asked if she was doing anything tonight.
"Ahhh. I would love to," she said, "but my husband is going out tonight and I need to look after the kids."
"Oh, okay, no problem," I said.
"But I will see if I can get a sitter," she offered.
An hour later, she sent me a text to say that the sitter was busy, but we could arrange something for next week.
As I left, I read a text from L - "Hi you, do you fancy meeting up 2nite?"
At least I won't be dining alone in front of the tv again tonight.
I can see V and I getting along well enough, but she didn't tug at my heart strings exactly. Not the way Susie did. I can see V and I having a little fling, maybe even being friends, but I can't quite see myself falling for her.
