Hi. In an attempt to shake off the inertia that I am currently feeling around online dating, I have lined up a date for tomorrow night. I can't say I'm feeling it massively, but the guy does sound really nice. He's steady, you know, always phones and messages when he says he will. He seems keen. I can't say I find him hugely funny or attractive, but he's so nice, and I would feel bad about letting him down. I will be meeting him for the first time tomorrow, though we have been messaging for the past couple of weeks.
Right, here's the thing. He has a few tattoos. Okay, fine. They're not my cup of tea, but all good. He's ex navy, so at least isn't some hipster type 
. BUT, one of the tattoos is of his grandad, presumably in portrait form.
I get that his grandfather was important to him, but am I alone in finding this rather tacky?
And then I mentioned it to a couple of friends, who pointed out that if we ever had sex, his grandad would be looking down (or up!) at me.
I am honestly not sure if we're going to have much in common, not helped by his choice of tattoo.
I hate to sound mean, but can't really help how I feel.
Is it a lost cause?!
