Dating my very own "Dolce & Gabbana model"

"My date Mr Yummy Muscian would not look out of place in a D&G ad"

This weekend began with a date with a rather scrumptious guy. He looked like he had just walked off a Dolce & Gabbana ad- and the fact that he is half scilian and half french added a certain je ne sais quoi to my very goodlooking date.

I decided that the first date should be casual, so we met for a coffee at Cafe Nero. Straight away he got "une pointe" for being quite the gentleman and waiting for my arrival outside the coffee house. Once we air kissed and said our hellos, he opened the door for me and we entered Cafe Nero. After we both ordered our coffees- mine a hazelnut latte and him a strong Americano- we found a cozy sofa and sat down.

From the beginning our conversation flowed with ease. He had a terribly sexy accent, and a great smile. He hypnotised me and I was happy to be in the company of Mr Yummy Muscian- I have decided not to use real names. He was a muscian whose band won best newcomer at Glastonbury 2005. As he talked about his music I started imagining myself finally being able to say "my boyfriend is the lead singer of a band"- it has a fab ring to it right?

After we talked for about 2 hours we left and went in search of food. We found ourselves at the Japanese Centre and looking to buy some yummy sushi. Then it was from there that things started to go down hill.

You see i told him that i would have to leave soon as i had a drinks date with a friend. This confession upset him greatly, and he became kind of cold towards me. When i asked him what was wrong he told me that he had cleared his entire evening for me and that he had expected me to do the same. My immediate thought was "what?", and as he babbled on i realised that he had expected our date to continue way into the wee hours. I had thought a coffee date is about hour maybe 2 hours max, and my Mr Yummy Musician was throwing a 3 year old tantrum right in the middle of the Japanese Centre because I decided to end our date- i knew that it was all too good to be true.

So later on as i strolled to go and meet my friend, I started thinking that maybe I should not have made plans that would stunt the date. I did reason that if i really wanted the date to continue i could have rearranged my plans with my friend, but i did not so maybe I had just self sabotaged my date, or maybe he needs to learn what the term "a quick coffee date" means!
