By George she's got it!

Well it's done. The plunge has been taken and I can stop needlessly buying stuff from Lidl!

Wouldn't asking someone out be easier if we were all programmed perfectly naturally to just approach someone and ask them out and they say yes? I'm very grateful to M.B, who actually texted Mr Lidl and informed him that I was interested. Thankfully Mr L decided to be brave enough to pass his number on and we've had a good conversation tonight...although I'm slightly worried he may be concerned I'm a bit stalkerish. If I didn't find it so hard to ask someone out I wouldn't have needed to keep going in there! But how the hell do you ask someone out when you don't know them?? It's different in a nightclub, people approach each other all the time, but that usually only ends up with a shag behind the kebab shop, and I'm a bit more classier than that. I prefer McDonalds.

I'm quite surprised how nervous I felt when speaking to him. I have no problems talking to people in general, whether I know them or not, but it's different when it comes to relationships. You feel more self-conscious about yourself. I probably gabbled a bit, as I do when I'm on edge, but it looks like we're going out on Sunday so hopefully tomorrow will give me a chance to collect myself!

I'm aware he may be a tad put off by finding out I've been talking about him in a blog which everybody in the world can read, and he has indeed found out. But he didn't seem to be bothered. He may ask if he could read it, or he may have a look before he meets me on Sunday to make sure he's not meeting a total psycho! Thing is, I like to write. One day, who knows, I may get my books commissioned. A writer has to be prepared to put their hearts on their sleeves and their life on the internet. That's showbusiness! But I'm sorry to say I will be toning it down just a little.

.....Then when he's forgotten about it I'll fill you all in ;-)
