Well where to start
He blotted his copybook right from the offset as far as I was concerned. He considers himself a bit of a 'foody' and when we were all ordering was trying to 'advise' me what to choose
Sea Bass was his recommendation
I politely declined confirming that I did not like anything fishy. "then you've not eaten the decent stuff " I was informed and that I needed to try new things and challenge my preconceived ideas about these things
Thank you but no thank you ...I ordered meat
So when all the food arrives he then insists on holding the end of his fork to my face and says " just try a bit "
What about I DO NOT LIKE FECKIN FISH does he not understand
So moving on and after several bottles of wine have been consumed around the table the conversation turns. One of the girls around the table has got a particularly low cut top on and he then comments " you should wear something like that ...you have the equipment "
I would have suggested he should wear a body bag at that point but I was distracted by one of the girls.
Then during the meal the Mr Tickle arms became apparent as the arm was stretched out round the back of my chair. I guess at least he didn't do the yawn , stretch and leave arm there manoeuvre
The hand would then get placed on my shoulder / knee when talking to me until I shrugged it off
At the end of the meal he gave the " I think you're lovely" ......yada yada yada yada spiel
- I would love to take you to breakfast next week
"Breakfast" I ask incredulous
"Yes, breakfast...there is a lovely little Portuguese bakery opened down the road from me ....etc etc etc "
I don't think so
