First date with a guy I met on Match a few weeks ago...fairly new to all this and it's a fair trip.

Woke up to train delays. Managed to get ready with time to spare so left early.

Got on train to go two stops to main station and realised I'd left my purse at home.

Got off at first stop, went back, picked up car drove home and got purse.

Begged a parking permit from a mate so I could park near station.

Got to station, went under subway to correct platform...they'd changed the departure platform. Got back to other side just as train left.

Texted date to day I'm running late, all fine.

Spent 5 minutes rummaging for change to get a kit kat from the vending machine...only takes card, find card, order kit kat...gets stuck in machine.

On train, just had a rummage for lipstick, mints and perfume ahead of arrival and realised I haven't put the fecking permit in my car so will probably get a fine on my return.

This guy had better be Prince bloody Charming!

I hope he’s wonderful and makes it worth all the hassle!

OhFGSwhatTFnow · 05/03/2022 12:55

Me too!

I suppose the good thing is I haven't had any time to stress about the date itself!

Were you extremely nervous this morning?

Just sounds like you're nervous and possibly a bit disorganised!

ADHD?

It's just the universe giving you something to talk about to break the ice!

Hope it is going well

Well things can only get better from here so you’re due a bit of luck, I’m predicting a god date.

It will be a good tale to tell the grandkids, about the disaster running up to the first date. It's a good omen!

Op find the car park on ring go and book your parking there.

@nococoni

ADHD?
I've been increasingly suspecting that for several months tbh.

Today a combo of bad habit of keeping bank card in back jeans pocket (different jeans, natch 🙄) and crappy trains.

Anyway, on my home now...not sure about any romance but he was a lovely guy and we had fun. Just gotta cross my fingers I don't have a ticket.

@FlibbertyGibbitt it's street parking unfortunately.
