I hate dating. 

I can’t do it. 

I get all nervous and shy.

How not to date…………………… stalk the potential guy

We focus on dating so much. What about us who don’t want to date, or just simply, don’t date. Maybe because there is no one who is interested in us or because we don’t want to partake in the new modern way using apps and social media.

Dating can be frustrating because you get all glammed up and then the guy probably won’t notice the difference. 

I don’t date very often. My latest attempt can’t even be classified as a date. It was stalkerish. I fancy a guy who works in a pizza shop (for those unaware I live in Italy) and I thought I’ll turn up at the pizza shop tonight looking incredible and we start talking and that will be that! I spent hours getting ready, which is very unlike me who is happy to go to work make-up free. I even started waxing my bikini line just in case. I looked great. I would date me. 

I should also mention that I was drinking while getting ready so I was pretty drunk by the time I headed out. 

I went there late hoping it would be quiet and so we would actually be able to talk. I was wrong, it’s Italy. I arrived at peak hour at 10:30pm. I said hi to him then asked him how he was and that was it. I freaked out, couldn’t think of anything to say. He was really busy with work so he didn’t want to chat. I froze not knowing what to do. Super awkward. 

I eventually sat at an empty table which made me feel even more loser-ish. Ate my food and then he told me he was off. Within 20 mins of me arriving he gone. Great. Was my look that offensive? Was I that boring? Probably! 

The one advantage of this non-date was I got free food. Nothing tastes better than free food. Although once he had left I ate it quickly and then left myself because I realised how lame my whole evening was.

Advice number one for dating – don’t try so hard!!! They aren’t going to pay that much attention to your look. Next date –  put on yesterday’s clothes, and let your bikini line be bushy.
