What do you see in me?
This week my self-doubts have risen again, the reason is on soulmatemeet, the mature dating site, along with my good friend Svitlana, I am being approached by several ladies.
While this is a thrill, it also eaises some concerns, not about my relationship with Svitlana, I can handle that. The issue is some of the ladies are judges, other own their own business, which comes back to the question, what can ladies with that degree of knowledge see in me?
I had a friend in Seattle, who had been to university at the time I was born, we got on well, but that was because we knew the boundaries. Though we got on well, extremely friendly most of the time, Julia and I knew it was only friendship. She did offer me the opportunity to visit her, there was a contest she thought I had an opportunity to win being run in the area, we used to play Words with Friends most nights, Scrabble under a different name. Julia was amazed at my ability with words.
I politely declined, not only because the contest was ongoing for weeks, but I pointed out the styles of the players, I had no doubt, I would not lose many games - no bragging - but I wouldn't get far, most of the people in the contests win by closing the game down with words of two, or three letters.
I have no issue with being the "bit of rough on the side." for an attractive lady, but we have no common ground for conversation. We had the same issue at Bristol Museum, when they tried to get the curators, and the security staff to share a rest-room and have a conversation.
I pointed out to my friend, Francis Greenacre, we don't share the same world, while they talk about trips abroad, we'd talk about the football on tv. What they class as a once-a-week treat, we'd call it a once-a-month splashout. Despite our different outlooks on life, he saw my point
