The best one so far, but it didn’t end well
Despite the fact that I don’t have a great deal of faith in internet dating providing me with a long-term partner, the most recent girl seemed like she might be a winner. She was smart, had a good job, was quite funny and she was quite attractive. Very attractive in fact… I know looks aren’t everything, but I think I scrub up well enough to expect the same of my partner and I’m still young enough to get away with being picky in that way!
Normally when I meet one of these girls I opt for dinner at a decent restaurant. Sure it’s not that exciting, but it’s a fairly safe bet. For some reason with this girl, I decided that playing tennis may be a better option. Strange I know, but she told me she enjoyed tennis, so I put the suggestion to her and reluctantly (at first) she agreed. I was very impressed how good she managed to look throughout the game, I’m sure I was just sweaty and smelly, but she did very well.
So we played tennis on the Thursday night, hit it off (pardon the pun) and ended up spending the following night together as well. We spent some more time with each other over the following week, then she invited me over to her place for drinks with her two male housemates. And that’s where things went wrong…
She warned me that her two male friends would do their best to get me drunk, and being fairly impartial to a few drinks I didn’t exactly fight them off. It was quite a wild night, so much so that at one stage the Police arrived and told us to keep it down! We were all having a great time and I was pretty chuffed to be with such a fun and good looking (really good looking!) girl.
Morning came, and I awoke in her bed, naked. It took me a few seconds to realise where I was, then I noticed she wasn’t in bed with me. Then the night’s activities started flooding back… The boys had gotten me so drunk that I was sick, so they put me in the shower, and now here I was, lying in this girls bed without any clothes!
I grabbed a towel from the ensuite and ventured out into the house where I saw my clothes draped over some chairs, drying under the fan which was still running. Obviously the clothes had to be washed after I was a little sick… There was also my wallet, phone and keys sitting on the table, still wet. Turns out she didn’t empty my pockets when she washed my clothes. Not cool!
Realising that there was no coming back from such an incident, I got dressed, gathered my belongings and made a dash for the exit. I didn’t plan on stopping to speak with the girl, who I had now noticed was sleeping on the couch, but as I approached the door I could see her eyes where now open. I apologised and spoke to her for a while, and surprisingly she didn’t seem to bothered by the activities of the night before. Amazing! Rather than overstay my welcome I headed for home pretty quickly.
Two nights later I took her out to dinner and I could tell that things weren’t completely cool, but figured everything would be okay. Over the next week she became more and more distant, and the following weekend we caught up for lunch where she delivered the expected message, that it was all over.
Any regrets? Just one, and this may sound bad, but I regret not sleeping with her. I know some people will think I’m a bad person for saying that, but I’m just being honest, I really would have liked to sleep with her! When she stayed over the week before the drinking incident we did pretty much everything else, but we just never quite got there. I suspect we would have on the night of the drinking incident, and she pretty much said that the next morning. Bummer!
Any lessons learned from this one? Yes, don’t drink too much with a new girlfriend! Although she later said that the ‘drinking incident’ wasn’t the reason for our breakup, I think it probably was because before that, things were going really great. Oh and I ended up with a non-working phone too, so it was an expensive few weeks! Still worth it though, and my mates sure loved the story.
