Selling or Dating, all the same

High activity levels. That's the trick. Be it sales or dating. And since I put my energy in both parts, I dare say I know what I am talking about. Even if my dear job the last week didn't show very high activity levels, my dating project sure did.

Monday night on my way to the motherplanet, I get chatted up by a sweet London-Swede. A bit of a talented mr Ripley-moment, since everytime he opened he opened his beautiful mouth, out came things that could be my quotes, without us ever having met before. Amazing. And amazingly young, 10 years my junior, but hey, who knows, what is age anyway? So we're meeting up on Friday for lunch. Looking forward actually. May I am a bit paedophilic after all.

Tuesday, superdate with Mr Big de Stockholm. We talked non-stop for 6 hours, unclear of what, but we touched most shady parts of our lives. Plus we had some really good wine and great nibbles. A superdate simply. Must say that Sweden is doing pretty good for the moment.

Friday, Mr Sketch takes me out. I have tried to keep him short, but he has been really on. So, as the brilliant English gentleman he is, he takes me out for the full English date. This ultra-Englishman with a very classic name, picks me up in his Mini Cooper, dressed in a full Paul Smith outfit with a quirk. Then he takes me to the Everyman Cinema, with comfy leather sofas, in my favorite part of the world, Hampstead, to see a super French film, the Silence of Sleep. And after a great outing on the Heath, i.e. Hampstead Heath, on the Saturday, I explain to him that I can't see him anymore unless he sells the flat that he and his ex-girlie is staying in. And he understands and accepts and says he will arrange this quickly so we can get on with our life together. Which the best reaction really. And then we say good bye.

Then Sunday comes, and I am on a date with Pete Doherty. Together with some 5000 other fans. But still. We had a special moment.

So, nothing to complain about when it comes to activity levels here anyway. And I am even writing visit reports.
