I went speed dating, and I met a hairdresser who decided that she would be interested in getting to know me better. I asked her whether she would like to go ice skating for a first date. She thought that was a great idea! It was Christmas time, and there was an open-air ice rink, active throughout most of Christmas. You had to book for it, so we booked a ticket each, on the same day.

Neither of us were expert skaters; I’d only been on the ice one time before, and I had learned to skate, but not very well. She had not been on the ice very often either. I was imagining that there may be situations where one of us may fall, and the one still standing would help the other one get up; certainly things like this, if they happened, would help us get closer together!

Unfortunately, the date turned out to be a disaster. She turned up with a couple of her friends who remained by the side of the ice rink, and she basically wasted her 40 minutes on the ice by holding on to the side rail, talking to her friends, and ignoring me. I wasn’t about to waste the time I’d paid for; I did some skating! Not very good skating, to be sure; but hanging around by the side of the ice rink was not what I’d had in mind.

I guess I learned from this that whilst the idea of ice skating presents a good, novel approach to a first date, in practice it can turn out not to work well. Mind you, it could have been the case that whatever I would have decided with her would have found her bringing her friends along.

Where safety is concerned, it can be a good idea to have friends within sight if you’re a woman. However, if we’re talking about an activity that takes place in the middle of the day, in a crowded place, it really is unlikely that your date will do anything bad to you there! Maybe you don’t need the friends after all; a mobile phone or a panic alarm would probably give you ample security. If that’s not enough for you and you still need friends along, at least try to be discreet about it. To not pay attention to the person who you came along to meet in the first place is insulting, to say the least!

We ended the date by saying that maybe we would do some salsa dancing together in the future. However, I knew there was no chance of that actually happening, and I think she did too.
