I can't believe I'm actually going to post this.
When I was at college I made a new group of friends from another town and we would go out every Saturday night.
One night I met this guy and all I could remember about him is he had gorgeous piercing blue eyes and an English accent, yes we did kiss and I was drunk. We exchanged numbers.
Days later we arranged to meet in my town for a drink.
As soon as he walked towards me I was thinking oh no. It was his walk, the way he greeted me and he was wearing a big blue wooly fleece your granda would wear
Anyway, in the pub we are chatting and having a drink and he said can you excuse me for a minute if that's OK with you, I said sure. I'm sitting there for about 15 minutes wondering if he's doing a sh!t or a runner. I get up and look round the corner and he's playing a puggy machine. He comes back and we move onto another pub were I suggest we sit at a table in the corner away from everyone else. Then he starts saying things like we can go on holiday, I said sorry I can't afford to go on holiday and he asks if I mind if he goes with his friends and he won't cheat. He keeps repeating these things over and over.
He then tells when when he's with his friends he likes to take his clothes off, slide down the stairs whilst saying EEK EEK in a squeaky voice. He then goes to the toilet and I see a couple sitting not to far away and I'm sure they must have heard him talking, I was so embarrassed. I went and spoke to that couple and they admitted they hear the conversation and couldn't stop laughing.
He came back from the toilet and I told him I needed to go home. I walked him to the train station and as I left him on the platform he was shouting come to mine at the weekend and we can play records. Me shouting back yeah no bother and him repeating it until I was out of sight. There were other people at the station and I was mortified. I will admit, I cried with embarrassment when I got home.
It turns out I was out on a date with the local clown that also had mental health problems. Something my new friends didn't tell me about. Apparently his parents phoned round all the local pubs asking them not to serve him.
This is something I can laugh about now but it was horrendous at the time. My mum asked if I was going to see him again. I absolutely did not tell them about this date, even to date I've never told them.
Oh, and he never had an English accent that's something he does i think cause he likes to pretend he's a sailor. The town he's from there's lots of sailors and marines.
Anyone that knows this story will know it's me, the details are so outing 😬
I can laugh now🤣
