If you were asked out on a date by the guy you lost your virginity to fifteen years ago…would you go? Most probably wouldn’t. I suppose it depends what the event was like. I think for most of us it is either forgettable or something that we would like to forget. Well, curiosity got the better of me and I thought – why not?! If he wants to have another crack at the Title, he must have improved!
I think he was genuinely surprised that I agreed to meet up… the fact that the date was dressed up in the form of tickets to see Lily Allen did help. Still, I think he is pretty lucky that I said yes – after all- he is the one that dumped me all those years ago. We lasted a few months but in the end he told me that I wasn’t cool enough for him. Nor did I want to be- I have always considered “coolness” a disease that kills individualism and makes one self absorbed and often paranoid. But these days- I seem to have become “cool” by default- and therefore desirable to the kind of guy who want to spice up his life with an alternative actor type.
So how was the date? Lily Allen was brilliant! But how was the date? Lily Allen really was fantastic!
But no- I have to admit that hanging out with the old flame was undeniably fun. We stood up the back, drank beer, caught up and it kind of felt a bit like we were teenagers again- cute!
And the blog ends here- after all- my mother reads this! But my mind did play out the fantasy of trying it again for old times sake. It would go like this:
Me: My, My, haven’t you grown!
Him: Check out my new moves
(Later, morning)
Him: I can’t believe that the girl I dumped 15 years ago has become the woman of my dreams.
Me: Wow that’s really nice but I’m sorry, you’re just not cool enough for me.
