Dating mantras
I have an honest date tonight. And getting in girly mood is so much fun. Work out during lunch, bubble bath when home, turn on Goldfrapp, open some champagne. I will be wearing my black and soft white as seen on paris hilton in US magazine diane von Furstenberg wrap dress, cream tights, very high cream boots (which are a bit too pussy cat dolls but its cold, and my black boots are not delicate enough for the dress), Benefits Bathina sparkly products on decolattage and some hair gloss on my locks. Have been mulling over straighten versus curls versus mere rolly brush. The last time we met my hair was in between straightened and brushed dry. And as I don't remember this guy, and it has been 3 weeks since we met, I think I should keep the hair the same. Some frost for lips and eyes. My new earrings from Paris.
So did you catch that? I don't remember this guy. I was completely smashed at a club opening in Mayfair (thank you to the shots for that) and apparently spoke with this guy for 30 minutes or so and he got my mobile, and called the next day. I sms'd back with my email. We emailed a few times, and called once. And now, here we are, about to be taken to a very nice restaurant with a man who apparently could pass for Damien Hirst. And he parties really hard. Please let him be cute. I do not need hot, but an attractive personality would be such a bonus. Flirtility factor please!
I am slightly nervous, partly because of the "blind" aspect, and slightly because well, I always put pressure on myself to be perfect and in control and at the end of the day the one with the choice. But I also think we churn ourselves into nervousness because it is fun. It is the drama of the unknown, and it doesn't happen frequently. To be in that moment is a challenge. The prequel to the date is the changing of the date mantras. I will be charming. I will be nice. I will be relaxed. I will be me. I will be slightly mysterious. I will be nice. I will not be too "look how smart I am". I will have perfect manners. Can I say perfect in relation to me one more time? I will forgive myself for being a person…I will not overanalyse but just be me because it seems to work quite well anyway…

ooh, how nice. Hope it goes well.
An interesting take on a blind date, more sort of a visually impaired date.
Good luck. I have an honest date tonight too, althouh my preparation is slightly different and I won't be glossing my curls.
Sahll we compare notes afterwards?
