The dreaded build up!

The lead up to a date is a horrible experience for a RSG...or should I say THIS RSG! I mean, where are all the fun times, the excitement, the getting ready, the looking perfect and it all going to plan that they show on T.V and in the movies?

After my last date here in Hongkers, you could say that I am a tad apprehensive about going on this date, which all going well, will take place this weekend.

Along with memories of my last date (yes, it is still haunting me), the body issue, the humidity and my total lack of dating skills/confidence I have definitely got my knickers in a twist!

How can you look good in 30 degree heat with 90% humidity.  Answer: you can't!!!

Picture this - getting to the venue of said date will require public transport and entering the outside air - poof goes my out of control thick hair into a frizzy humidity induced mess and nerves combined with heat and jam packed public transport produces a lovely sweaty gleam on the skin - sexy picture?...I think not!

What if we have nothing to talk about?  What if he's boring, what if he thinks I am boring? What do I do when I first see him?  What will he do?  Do I pay?  Do I order what I want or play it safe?  Do I have a few drinks? AND the list goes on!

Now I am definitely not the naive type (well, in this area anyway), and some say I am way too guarded, however, I am aware that it is out of my hands and none of this is worth worrying about and that I am making a big deal out of nothing!  However, when you are from a country that doesn't really 'do' dating and you have not been on many dates before and the ones you have been on were a disaster...once again refer to my blog...I really can't help but feel slightly apprehensive!

So, I have decided that I will treat this as just meeting someone new and getting to know a new person rather that a date, hopefully this will take the pressure off.

This just leaves the on the day preparation...well, the week build up - nails, legs, eyebrows, underwear, hair, outfit etc etc! Can anyone say rigmarole?

Believe you me, I will not change for anyone and at the end of this date if it is anther disaster I will just laugh...just like last time because at the very least it will be good material for my blog!

Wish me luck!

Love RSG! xo
