Hi folks,
would like others opinions on this. I've been single for 6 years, and have not been dating in that time. mostly due to lack of confidence - i was very seriously overweight and had no self-esteem. i've now lost a lot of weight (5 stone) but have a few stone yet to go. however, i'm feeling way better and am much happier in myself, but would be still a little slow in approaching men. Anyway, a colleague of mine has set me up on a blind date for this weekend. the guy has phoned and texted me and seems lovely. we're going for dinner and drinks tomorrow. he lived about a 30 min drive away from me, and hes coming up to my town for the date. he told my colleague (the girl who set us up) that he'd book a hotel in my town for the night so that he could have a few drinks, as he'd find it hard go on a blind date without a drink or two, and he's too far away to get a taxi home. he didn't mention this to me at all. i was telling a friend of mine about the date etc and said that he was booking the hotel for himself and explained why, and her response was "be careful, i bet he'll want to get his money's worth out of the night". AIBU to be really annoyed by this? firstly, i think he has very legitimate reasons for booking the hotel, i don't think it makes him seem like a lech at all. secondly, i'm a big girl and can take care of myself, and for all she knows i might be perfectly happy to hop into bed with him at the end of the night, who knows?! i just felt that she could have been encouraging and supportive rather than critial and cynical like that. she knows this is my first date in years.
what do others think??
