So!
Me... done up to nines but also to look effortless (hard work! lol). Prepared with emergency conversation topics just in case. I get to the restaurant bang on time, go to our table and order and down a glass of wine before he arrives 5 minutes late.
Him... DASHINGLY gorgeous (far better than pics!), smartly dressed underneath motorbike leathers. Not drinking due to motorbike arrival.
The date:
Fantastic. I want to marry him and have eleventy million babies he is quite nice.
He is really, and strangely nothing like his profile, for those of you who have seen it, apart from that he is clearly fiercely intelligent and a deep thinker. But rather than that arrogance that comes across, he is really humble and cute. Very good looking, and had me almost crying with laughter many a time. Very open and honest, and very generous. Great to talk to and eat with. He paid and thanked me for a wonderful evening. I walked him to his bike and we hugged goodbye, I went in with a half aim that could have gone either way depending on his movements... either cheek or lips. He turned the cheek 
but it was a lovely hug and I had suspected all through the date that 'it' wasn't there for him, so no surprise. But I had a fantastic night and I'm really, really glad I went, and I'm sure that at the least he will be a great gig buddy.
So overall :o
I will be surprised if he wants anything more than friendship, but I suppose stranger things have happened. So it's very much a case of watch this space I suppose.
:o again!
