“Well it wouldn’t matter if I was a lesbian, but I am not and that is why I am on this dating site.” Said quite calmly but with a steeliness that I hoped he would pick up. Silence ensued while we ate our main course and I began to wish that I had just agreed to a drink, rather than knowing that I would have to bear at least another fifteen minutes of his company before I could make an excuse and leave.
The silence was at last broken by Charles himself.
“I don’t feel there is much rapport between us.”
“No, neither do I.” Can he not even realise why that might be?
“Of course I would never sleep with a woman on a first date.” Where on earth was this going?
“No, and neither would I.” came my firm response.
“But if we were to meet up again, well maybe we would have sex?”
There really is no answer to a question like that. At least not one that can be given in the middle of Pizza Express without being told to leave and never come back because there are children dining close to you with their parents, who have complained about your use of the English language. Jane Austen would certainly not have approved of the words that were passing through my mind, but then again, would any of her characters actually have such a proposition put to them with less subtlety?
We continued in silence and I refused dessert and coffee in order to get out of there as soon as humanly possible. I wished him good luck in his search with enough firmness in my tone, that even he could get the message that we were never ever going to see each other again (at least not during this lifetime) and headed off to my car, wondering what the girls would say about the latest encounter.
“You are making this up aren’t you?”
“Do men like that really exist in the modern world?”
“What the hell is going on with these men?”
“You may well ask. Considering these are supposed to be the men who have the most in common with me I wonder what it would be like if I was sent details on men who didn’t have much in common. Surely it wouldn’t be any worse?”
“But how could he even consider saying those things?” Polly’s eyes were wide with disbelief.
“God it’s depressing, remind me not to try internet dating should Ben and I ever split up.” Said Anna with feeling.
