STRANGER DANGER!

Don't talk to strangers my mum said, I'll be honest made my first day at school pretty awkward...
Stranger danger was drummed into me so much as a kid... Sorry mum!
With life long fears of strangers I had drawn the conclusion that I was obviously going to be murdered on my first date, I mean how else was it going to end?!

For all I know I could really be meeting a 7ft tranny or a 12 year old with one hell of a sense of humour...
More to the point I could be stood up by someone I wouldn't normally date (OFFENDED would be an understatement!)
SHOCK HORROR! My first date is better looking than his photos! Got to be beginners luck, right?!
He had travelled over an hour to meet me, we only went for a drink, lovely guy just no 'spark'.
(I do however have one complaint he sat directly next to me, yes we went for a drink don't be fooled we were not waiting for a bus!)
That's probably not the dating disaster you were hoping for... Fear not I have plenty of freaks to follow...
 STAY TUNED!

Roll up roll up, feast your eyes!

It's official I'm a fully fledged member of the virtual freak show...
The vultures, I mean men didn't take long to sniff out fresh meat! In just 24 hours I have received over 200 messages! ( In the yes date spirit I will be replying to every single message I receive) I am incredibly flattered but at this rate my experiment will become a full time job!
The flattery didn't last long, I then discovered I could see who had viewed me and not messaged me...
I am no oil painting but the guy who looked like a cauliflower you have some cheek!

I mean how long can you be on said websites before they slap a reduced sticker on you and bung you with the sad looking brown lettuces in the clearance section?!

Bring on the dates!

The search begins... (Cue dramatic music)

We are far too quick to judge people and internet dating has made us into a society of window shoppers!

And I am GUILTY!

I am an official self confessed fussy, window shopping dater with Hugh Grant shaped delusions of grandeur! ( Yes Hugh, I do blame you! ) 

This is why I intend to change my attitude to dating! To start with I am facing a life time of STRANGER DANGER fears... I have signed up to internet dating (Oh how modern of me!) 

I've been told that not everyone online would like to keep locks of my hair, I'm not yet convinced! 

Some dates will be people i've met out and about and some will be people I have met online! 

To clarify this is an experiment to take me out of my comfort zone, I am no catfish as much as I will be blogging anonymously every date I go on will be a genuine date. The only thing each guy won't know about me is that they are someone I wouldn't normally date! For this reason I will not reveal my dates exact identity!

Who knows this experiment might be short lived for maybe, just maybe I'll find my kick-flared jean wearing lover quicker than I bargained for! 

Follow my dates here, on Facebook (www.facebook.com/yesdate)  and Twitter @yesdate

When possible I will tweet live from some of the dates on #yesdatelive 

HERE IT GOES!
