My Dating Life....

Ok so I am 41 & trying to get out there & have a life, mum to 2 teenagers with better social lives than me. After getting divorced & ending a long term relationship its time to get back in the saddle & start dating again, where do you start in this day & age.....the INTERNET!
Here goes sign up to Zoosk & wait for the dates to roll in.....yeah right! The men start view, holy god there are slim pickings out there, yes I am fickle & probably shallow but why should I settle for fugly when just maybe my prince charming is out there?
Ooooo start chatting with some bloke that lives local to me, chatting is fine there is know chance of him finding me lol. All he knows is that I live near him & I have a red escort, he seems ok so I might meet him for a coffee????
Well with 2 kids & a mad dog my life is quite busy so maybe I won't have time for dating. I like to take the dog on decent length walks over the local park, anyway while walking home from the park I notice a man jogging....OMG its only the bloke that has been chatting to me online! Now is this just a coincidence or has he purposely jogged about till he found me???? Thank god I have the dog with me.
This same man contacts me again to say that he saw me & would still like to meet up. I take my daughter for a quick drink in the local pub, with the dog of course & the next thing this same bloke is driving past us several times....now this is getting creepy!
Considering I am finding it creepy that he keeps turning up wherever I am, does he have some sort of tracking device attached to my arse??? I STILL agree to meet him for a coffee..........
Saturday afternoon, very public place one coffee & I am out of there...well thats the plan lol. Two coffees later & we are chatting, he seems ok, he is a taxi driver who is going to start his own business. Born in the East End, more about this later, 2 grown up children, one ex wife. Well so far he seems realitivly normal, I actually agree to a second date.
Between the 1st date & the 2nd date there is about 7 to 10 days, where he keeps texting, fine he is just keen me thinks. during these text's he asks me if I would like to go on holiday with him, bit soon for that! Then he tells me that he is thinking about buying a house in Laleham & would I like to move in with him.....ALARM BELLS!!!! I have made a commitment to a 2nd date so I feel like I should go on it, even though I am not happy.
We just go for a drink & I know this is going to sound fickle but he has the same outfit on, maybe its me being female but surely he has more than one outfit? So he starts telling me more about himself, he wasn't just born in the East End he was born in.....THE BLIND BEGGER PUB! He isn't actually a a taxi driver he is a gangster! Oh dear god talk about tells a tall story, I manage to make my excuses, peck on the cheek & get myself out of there!
Ok so you live & learn & move on to the next victim......or so I thought!

TO BE CONTINUED............
