This evening I have my very first date from the online dating world (I know but apparently it is much more acceptable in London, we are all swamped don’t you know)

My weapon of choice is mysinglefriend, mainly due to general laziness as I get someone else to promote me, also bit of an ego boost to have a mate describe me amongst other things as, I quote ‘the funniest person I know’

Anyway I am very dubious about the whole thing as I am into loud crazy indie types, I am pretty sure these type of people do not turn to the web, however I am giving Rob a chance as he made me chuckle (slightly) in his opening message.

Here is what I know so far about said guy pre date, some good, some bad:

• He abbreviates mysinglefriend to ‘msf’- geek
• He lives in the middle arse of zone 6 and owns his own flat- both of these facts make my chest go tight, he is clearly pretty sensible and (gulp) COMMITTED- terrifying
• He works in the city in finance- does however assure me he is not a banker
• He shares a mutual love of Barry’s- so much so he named his uni hamster Barry after Barry Evans- bit odd but always good to have a mutual interest I guess, even though I would take Barry Chuckle over Evans any day.
• He uses the word banter in emails far too much, sometimes even inserting the word ‘cheeky’ before it- oh dear
• He seems pretty receptive of the would you rather type of questions- might get to use my fav one on the date
• His photos all appear to be of a different person and it is pretty hard to make out his face too well, on the plus he does look pretty tall.

I also have the remainders of a throat infection leaving me sounding like Madge Bishop from Neighbours, not ideal but maybe it gives me a sexy edge?

Wish me luck ladies and gents….
