Lining up a re-run

Tomorrow I shall be braving my first ever “Second Online Date”, and I’m a little concerned about how it’s going to pan out.  The best thing about online dating is that if someone’s not quite right for you, you can just walk away after a drink or two and never have to speak to them again. It’s a great arrangement.

            However, if you’re like me and go on one date with a person that doesn’t make you want to launch yourself out of the fifth floor bathroom window, it all gets a bit overwhelming when you have to make the decision whether or not to give it a second run. The shear joy at having not wanted to kill myself last Thursday evening was enough to get me to agree to a second date with The Personality Twin this weekend, but is that enough to work with for a brunch meeting in the absence of wine?

Plus, now that I’m branching into second date territory, how rude would it be to just turn away with a simple ‘we just didn’t really click’? Oooooh dear. I suppose I’ll just have to approach the whole thing with a positive outlook and hope for the best. Worst-case scenario, he was hilarious, so we’ll laugh our way through a couple of hours and then I’ll have a day or so to think of the right response text.
