I wouldn't say he exactly looked eager to hear whatever I had to reveal. I'd probably use the word nervous instead. I nearly changed my mind about telling him the truth, but couldn't think of anything quickly enough to say instead. Plus I could almost definitely guarantee that what I was going to announce was nowhere near as bad as the options going through his mind. I took a deep breath and decided to go for it.
'I'm a blogger.'
I waited.
And waited a bit more.
I couldn't read his expression. Damn. Hurry up Hands.
Then finally...
'What's a blogger?'
Oh. Definitely not the reaction I was expecting. I was a bit relieved though. He could hardly be annoyed by something he didn't know anything anything about could he?
Mains, tiramisu and coffees later and Hands could have chosen blogging as his specialist subject on Mastermind. I'd told him all there was to know. I'd explained about the whole blogging community, the people I've met through writing a blog, the time I went on a blind date to Belfast with another blogger, blogs that I read, blogs that I've written. I made it all sound so amazing that when he asked if I'd ever posted about him (see he'd even got the lingo down. I'm such a good teacher) I think he would have been offended if I hadn't.
His final verdict?
'It sounds great. I'd love to read it'
Phewwwweeeeee.
We left the restaurant and made our way to the hotel bar on the 13th floor. As we sat sipping champagne looking at the amazing view and night sky I felt deliriously happy. At that moment there was nowhere else I would rather have been.
I was so glad that I'd told him about the blogging. It actually seemed to have brought us closer together. Not physically. We were already touching as much as allowed in a public place. More in the way that as I'd revealed something about myself that he hadn't been aware of, we were suddenly desperate to know everything about each other. We took it in turns to ask each other questions ranging from the bog standard ones like favourite TV programme?...
Hands - Inbetweeners. Me - Grey's Anatomy...and True Blood...and Dancing on Ice...and The Mentalist and...aaargh I can't possibly pick just one!
To name an unusual fact about ourselves...
Me - I can clasp my hands at my back and get them to my front without unclasping them. Hands - I don't like football.
Now who wasn't answering questions properly? I'd given a considered answer involving my double-jointedness, his was just about football. I suppose it was fairly unusual though. For a guy anyway. I started wondering what he'd talk to the men in my family about when he met them cause that is the universal male ice-breaker isn't it? Then I had a stern internal word with myself about not being one of those girls that daydreams about family introductions and white meringues and such-like things so early on in a relationship. It was only date eight after all. I put my 'playing it cool' head back on.
It obviously wasn't screwed on properly though. That's the only reason I can think of for why I then asked the following question. The seemingly innocuous, but ultimately immortal question...
'Will you still encourage your children to like football even though you don't?'
'I don't want kids.'
Oh. For the second time that night I'd been surprised by his response. Only on this occasion my heart also sank.

I assume this is who I think it is? You are naughty! x
Is Anonymous Hands???
Ruh Roh.
Hands doesn't really need to know much about football to chat to your relatives.
You are from Scotland and all he needs to know is that there are only Rangers & Celtic that ever win anything.
I think revealing to someone you are a blogger is quite stressful especially when you've been writing about them as it is hard to know how they'll react. I know when I told XXXXXX she reacted badly to start with as she miss read the first post I did.
Can't wait for the next installment.
Oh Rapunzel, my heart has sank too for you.
Maybe I should have rented out Evie to help change his mind??
