We spent days messaging and he seemed funny, confident, and charming. Then we met and he spent almost two hours talking about himself without asking me a single question. By the end of the evening, I knew more about his gym routine than I ever wanted to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then there was&nbsp;<strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.real-sexcontacts.com\/manchester\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.real-sexcontacts.com\/manchester\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Manchester.<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The chemistry online was amazing. In person? Not so much. He spent most of the date looking at his phone. I started wondering whether he was more interested in me or his football scores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.real-sexcontacts.com\/cardiff\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.real-sexcontacts.com\/cardiff\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Cardiff<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/a><\/em>gave me one of the funniest stories. A man turned up looking completely different from his photos. When I politely asked how old the pictures were, he smiled and said, &#8220;About ten years ago.&#8221; At least he was honest&#8230; eventually. \ud83d\ude02<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thankfully, not every date is a disaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes you meet someone who makes you laugh, keeps your attention, and reminds you why dating can actually be fun. That&#8217;s what keeps me curious enough to keep meeting new people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What about you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What&#8217;s the worst date you&#8217;ve ever been on, and which city did it happen in?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udc49 Come tell me here:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.real-sexcontacts.com\/preview.php?rf=100&amp;memberid=67182421\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.real-sexcontacts.com\/preview.php?rf=100&amp;memberid=67182421<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have a feeling some of your stories might be even worse than mine&#8230; \ud83d\udc8c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2014 Lola \ud83c\udf19<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"767\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lolasummers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/GU7MgY9XAAAN8JM-767x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lolasummers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/GU7MgY9XAAAN8JM-767x1024.jpg 767w, https:\/\/www.lolasummers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/GU7MgY9XAAAN8JM-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.lolasummers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/GU7MgY9XAAAN8JM-768x1025.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lolasummers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/GU7MgY9XAAAN8JM.jpg 899w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 100vw, 767px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"\/members\/start.php\">Chat with me \ud83d\ude42<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to chat with me privately click the <a href=\"\/members\/start.php\">chat button<\/a>.
