Ok
So the other day I had a normal date. A blind date as we
had chatted on facebook and decided to meet at a local record store. We met at the store and started to chat while looking for records (a great
first date meeting spot by the way) when this guy approach me and asked if I
was Tess from Redhotpie.
Now before I go further be clear I am not ashamed of
being here - I love every second of it and are quite frank with my close friends
about my lifestyle.
I was horrified and gobsmacked. I denied it was me - which
was stupid after I had said yes my name is Tess. I denied I was on any websites
but he became insistent saying that it was me, he recognised my face (funny since
it is only my eyes are on my profile). He said maybe my account had been hacked
and then he got out his phone and tried to show me my profile - in front of my friend
!!!! (oh dear god would the earth just swallow me) I turned my back on my date
and looked at this guy and mouthed silently "FUCK OFF" and he stopped finally got
the message and scarpered off.
I tuned to my new friend and he looked at me and said
straight-faced "busted !".
Look at this stage I should have made a joke out of it
- but I was truly embarrassed about what had just happened. Maybe I would have told
my new friend at some stage but 5 mins into our 1st meeting wasn’t right. I was
silenced and horrified and muttered something about “that was weird” and
basically looked like an idiot. I just couldn’t recover myself.
Needless to say the date was a bit strained.
Afterwards I became cross - the guy who approached me
was so stupid - my friend could have been my husband, boyfriend, brother, boss
- I don’t know – cousin, priest – but this contact didn’t seem to have any sensitivity
or care about the circumstances I was in and just blundered in.
I wouldn’t have cared if I was alone.
Surely what he did was not right - surely there is
some sort of protocol about meeting a contact here in real life that requires
us all to be discreet and careful.
Let me know your thoughts.Yes my name is Tess
