First dates
I can't help but feel bewildered at some of these dating shows on telly, like the Paddy MacGuiness 'Taek me Out' one for a start.
The things these young men do to try and impress the girls.
I mean how can a lad heading a football for 5 mins non-stop be of interest to a young girl?
And do the muscle-bound weight lifting types (who I'm sure only go on to show off their torso on telly), really think it is interesting for many girls? You can see they are only posers.
Then tonight "First Dates" has just been on.
A middle aged gentleman had a dinner date with a very attractive lady, who looked really nice I thought, and within minutes he took the serviette and started wiping sweat off his head, face, and neck at the dinner table, then went on to tell her he has only one testicle - on a first date.
I doubt many girls would tell a strange man she'd had a masectomy.
Whatever happened to nice conversation, and pleasant manners, and looking out for each other, instead of just Me Me Me?
I must be getting old, because I really don't understand modern courtship any more.
Can you say what you might enjoy on a first date at our age?
