Proving that female of the species are just as deadly as the male

23 November 2009

Apparently the thing that women do is expect to move in after the third date...  I have this on good authority from three of the sane men I've met.  In our minds it goes - coffee, lunch, dinner, bed, weekend, joint answerphone messages and a his and her Christmas card...  Though sometimes the coffee, lunch, dinner is elided.  No wonder they're all cagey about telling you their real names or where they work (for intelligent people they obviously don't know much about the internet, or women's ability to use it to track down personal information).  They're terrified you are going to turn up with your suit cases and scatter cushions. My most recent date who claimed to be fifty nine but looked seventy (an old seventy) if he was a day, and seemed a tad shabbily dressed for the chauffeur driven car that idled outside the hotel bar ready to whisk him away after our drink, told me that his previous girlfriend used to pray while they were making love.  Looking at him shuffling across the floor it's not hard to see why.
