Well I went on an impromptu date last night. Guy I chatted to on Tinder about 6 weeks ago. Looked very nice on his pics, 45 mins away so doable.
Spoke to him on the phone and he had a very sexy Irish accent, really nice person and we got on well on the phone.
A couple of weeks ago he admitted that he had put weight on - he was a previous marathon runner (he's run 7 marathons!!) but after an injury//split from his wife things had gone down hill and his weight had become an issue. The pics I saw are 3 years old!
I'm not a shallow person and I've certainly dieted after having children but it put me in a difficult position as I basically rejected him because of his weight!. We left it saying he would contact me in October after he had lost weight and had run the Great North Run & maybe we could meet up, if I was still single! He is dieting and going to the gym everyday!
But over the weekend we chatted again and spoke on the phone! We met up last night!! He is morbidly obese, he's a tall bloke anyway but he must be 5/6 stone over weight - maybe more. He was smartly dressed, and is a good looking man under the fat! He brought me a rose. He was really good company and we chatted for an hour and a half! but I wasn't remotely attracted to him. I could tell he liked me!
He text me later on and said he had no expectations and knew where he stood. I admitted that as things stand now it's a no go! He understands that.
There is something about him though, he's a decent, kind man and his voice is lovely. But I don't understand how someone can let themselves go like that, he could barely walk! How can you go from being a marathon runner to obese. My friend reckons there is something more to it! Mental health?
I sure know how to pick 'em! Where are the normal guys???
