She&#8217;s a babe from the internet       dating site. In some of our emails, she&#8217;s expressed a specific anxiety       about meeting with men. She&#8217;s told me that she&#8217;s a bit worried about       something, based on an extremely unpleasant experience she had with a dude       a coupla months ago.<\/p>\n<p>I pressed her for details, wondering if he was a molestation expert, or       if he tried to force her to have sex with his automatic pistol.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mysite.mweb.co.za\/residents\/rb000004\/2005-04-27_L.jpg?resize=200%2C266\" alt=\"L is curious about my sketches. So I whip out the ole iPAQ and do a lightning quick sketch of her. It doesn't look even remotely like her, but the chin is about right! She's deeply impressed. She also sketches. So I hand her the stylus, and she draws a flower. Very cool.\" align=\"right\" border=\"0\" height=\"266\" hspace=\"6\" vspace=\"6\" width=\"200\" \/>Nothing       like that, as it turns out. The dude has an exceptionally tiny dick, she       says.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, what&#8217;s tiny?&#8221; I asked in an email. &#8220;I mean, was       he TINY, or do you require an ENORMOUS dick?&#8221; I continued, in the       email to suggest this. &#8220;Why don&#8217;t we meet, and before we even speak       to each other, we go straight to the toilet, you unzip me, and give me a       blow job, and then, if my dick&#8217;s too small for you, you just walk away and       the date&#8217;s over?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She replied, &#8220;I&#8217;m not that kind of girl!!!!!!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Which is when I pointed out to her that it was an odd point of       discussion, and that maybe she&#8217;s concentrating on the wrong things.<\/p>\n<p>Well, here she is, in front of me, and she&#8217;s gorgeous. And she&#8217;s not       limping or anything, so I&#8217;m assuming it&#8217;s not ENORMOUS equipment that she       requires, so I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;m vaguely adequate. Even if I&#8217;m more on the       moderate side of the scale.<\/p>\n<p>I hold up a sugar packet, one of the long, cylindrical ones, not the       flat, rectangular ones. I say, &#8220;Was he THIS big?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She blushes like crazy. A long silence. Then she says, &#8220;He was       smaller than that. And impotent.&#8221; And then she introduces herself.       And I introduce myself. And, thank god, I&#8217;m bigger than a sugar packet.       Phshew. So I&#8217;ve maybe got a chance with her.<\/p>\n<p>But I must say, I&#8217;m a tad confused about why on earth a girl like her       has agreed to come on a date with a guy like me. She&#8217;s read my blog. She       knows that I&#8217;m a naughty fellow. She knows that I&#8217;m a serial dater. She       knows that I&#8217;m shagging at least one woman. She knows that I&#8217;m into BDSM.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You&#8217;re probably thinking I&#8217;m quite conservative,&#8221; she says       to me at some point during brunch.<\/p>\n<p>I think about that. &#8220;Not exactly conservative,&#8221; I say.       &#8220;More that you&#8217;re curious about the world, that you&#8217;re open to       things, but that you&#8217;ve had a limited perspective, and now you&#8217;re open to       more. It seems to me you&#8217;re learning things about yourself that you didn&#8217;t       know.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Not really,&#8221; she says. &#8220;I know myself well.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So I&#8217;m not reallllllly sure whether or not she&#8217;s conservative. In her       profile, she mentioned being Christian, and going to church weekly.<\/p>\n<p>Which doesn&#8217;t bother me, entirely. But it does sort of raise a flag.       And the flag has a little thing on it which says, &#8220;Uh&#8230; is Roy       REALLLY suitable for you?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The manageress strolls up to our table, looking very guilty. &#8220;Can I ask you a favour?&#8221; she says, into a kinda ingratiating small-girl way. &#8220;Would you mind if I bring you your bill, or move you to a smaller table for two?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve been here for about two hours. We&#8217;ve both had breakfasts. We&#8217;ve both had about three cups of coffee. We&#8217;ve had cake. And we&#8217;re not actually finished.<\/p>\n<p>I say to the manageress, &#8220;Actually, I DO mind. Firstly, we&#8217;re paying customers. And secondly, I&#8217;m a regular here. We&#8217;re not going to move.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She mouths an apology, and moves off.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve enjoyed our date. And she&#8217;s laughed quite a bit, and finds me       funny. So that&#8217;s quite encouraging. So maybe we&#8217;ll have a second date. And       maybe I&#8217;ll get to find out about her non-conservative side.<\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\">Roy Blumenthal is a writer, director, artist, and <a href=\"http:\/\/snipurl.com\/visualfacilitator\">visual facilitator<\/a>.
