Oh my goodness, I've just realised I haven't blogged for FOUR WHOLE DAYS. I've been lost in a haze of parties and date planning!


It's fair to say that things have escalated quite abruptly on a number of fronts but most importantly on the dating front. 


I am pleased to announce I am being taken on a full blown, grown up dinner date here on Friday night, the first in 5 long months! Well at least the first one I'm remotely excited about. 


I say 'grown up' because the gentleman who has requested my company is just that - grown up. 17 years more grown up than I am to be exact. And I can't wait. 


I adore being taken on proper dates. 'Proper' meaning there is a reservation made at a quality restaurant for a time that is set a week in advance at a minimum. 


I'm a planner. The funnest part about dating (almost) is the planning for it I think. 


Date Prep mode for me means:
1. Outfit selection which usually involves me giving a fashion parade for mum/sister/flatty, analysing both practicality and suitability for the venue/man
2. Hair do selection: up or down? Natural or styled?
3. Mini detoxing on fruit and really light meals during the week to ensure a flat stomach and clear skin by Friday
4. 'Landscaping' if the occasion calls for it
5. Sauna, sugar scrub and facial on Thursday 
6. Mani/pedi also Thursday
7. Friday - READY SET GO!


Anticipation energy. Whether there is going to be a spark or not. Wild flirting. Nice wine.   


This age difference is a first for me. I'm ridiculously curious to see how it all pans out.
