Should I go on a date with Graeme ?

I have an Internet dating dilemma. Should I meet up with Graeme ( note how he spells his name ) tomorrow night?
Tried to meet up last week but m25 traffic chaos put pay to that so instead I spoke on the phone to him for 40 mins. He suggested same time same place in exactly a week. So fast forward a week and I've not heard from him. I text to say I presume he no longer wants to meet due to radio silence. He says he does !

Do I try again? He's relatively good looking with a lovely voice.
His last girlfriend had 70 pairs of shoes and was into designer clothes. I'm a gardener and have a selection of wellies !

What to do ?

Wtf is wrong with Graeme that's how it should be spelt. Graham is pronounced gray ham where I'm from and sounds a lot worse !

Swapping stories about dating is fine - whining about a serious relationship to someone you barely know is a red flag.

Choclover27 · 13/03/2017 22:37

He didn't whine and it wasn't a serious relationship as far as I can gather.
He has just texted to confirm tomorrow night. Said he's looking forward to it.
I said I was just sorting through my shoe selection to decide on what to wear. He laughed, if ' ha 'can be constituted as a laugh !

I am not the shoe woman! I have 9 pairs of shoes.

Just wondering if he is/was a lawyer

Wishiwasmoiradingle2017 · 15/03/2017 13:07

Come on then op - did you go on the date?

muchadoagain · 15/03/2017 13:16

I'm in scotland and most Graemes are spelled that way up here as opposed to Graham.

You could be lucky and he is scottish!

hellsbellsmelons · 15/03/2017 13:23

No update??? WTF???
We need to know how it went!

SasBel · 15/03/2017 13:26

De-lurking to enquirie how it went!

TheSilveryPussycat · 15/03/2017 14:00

Beardy thing going on... hmmm sounds promising to me (am a fan of Designer Stubble)

Wishiwasmoiradingle2017 · 15/03/2017 14:19

Maybe the op is too tired from the date to update? Blush

shaggedthruahedgebackwards · 15/03/2017 16:58

Come on OP we deserve an update!

I'm intrigued to know if he pronounces his name gray-um or grame? (It could be a deal breaker)

Rubyslippers7780 · 15/03/2017 17:02

Aaaaaand??

Wishiwasmoiradingle2017 · 15/03/2017 19:56

Hope he wasn't into s&m and he has left her tied up somewhere?? Blush
Without her phone to hand is just bloody nasty. . .

inlectorecumbit · 15/03/2017 21:13

hmm l am in Scotland and don't know any Graemes Hmm all Grahams , although Graham is also a very common surname.
Come on OP update please

Graeme makes me think of creme eggs.

I don't like creme eggs.

Mum2jenny · 15/03/2017 21:33

Not his choice how his name was spelt, up to his parents. I think you are being a bit shallow wrt his name.
He may be nice or nasty but it's not up to his name (or the way it was spelt)

Agadooo · 15/03/2017 21:39

Pelvic-why does it make you think of creme eggs????

PelvicFloorClenchReminder · 15/03/2017 22:00

It's the 'eme'

All different fondanty shades of wrong.

ItShouldHaveBeenJingleJess · 15/03/2017 22:28

pelvic plus, they've shrunk in size. Which is never a terribly good thing when one is contemplating...... buying a Creme Egg.

Choclover27 · 19/03/2017 20:23

I'm alive !!
Love creme eggs.
Don't love Graeme
Nob.
Would say he was a big nob but that would be complimenting him

Thought he was oh so uber special.
Successful wealthy international business man ... My arse
He did not impress me with his drug smuggling tale from last year, wish they had stripped search the nob.
Date was short not sweet. Mwah mwah been lovely to meet you ( not)
Instant block on Whatsapp. Forgot to block on message and 24 hours later received a text and screenshot asking had I blocked him as his message hadn't been delivered.... Der... He's obviously not too clever.
Needless to say. Graeme is not my kind of creme egg

Shall I go out with Mark ???

OP posts:
Wishiwasmoiradingle2017 · 19/03/2017 20:25

Ah shame.
What details has Mark claimed are actually true? - only Mark I know was a lying weedy wimp!!

JK1773 · 19/03/2017 20:26

Haha yes go out with Mark Grin

Choclover27 · 19/03/2017 20:29

It's Mark with a k not a c
That's got to be a good sign hasn't it ?
Going to talk on the phone tonight.
I have a thing about accents. Certain ones bug me. I won't say which.
His accent could make or break the potential date.

EffinElle · 19/03/2017 20:29

Give Mark a go.
