Blind Date_(0)

Blind Date

I moved to Sydney about 12 weeks ago and started university at UTS, about 4 weeks later. My study group consisted of 4 women, me and 2 other men. I got on with them pretty well and we started visiting pubs in the area, to find the best place to drink. As I got to know these people I found out that 3 of the women were lesbians. I’ve got nothing against lesbians but there seems to be a lot more now days. Anyway I did get on well with Tracey, who already had a boyfriend.

Tracey and I would always talk about different stuff, study and so on. On this one Friday night just after we started our second beer for the afternoon, Tracey received a call on her mobile phone. She started speaking to the person on the other end. I wasn’t at all to interested, when Tracey said, “Yeah I’ve got a friend that will come out. Yeah he’s kind of cute. Hang on.” Then she said, to me, “Jason do you have a girlfriend? You’re not gay are you?” I just shook my head and she said, “Good, you’re coming with me. I’ll tell you in a minute.” Then she went back to the phone and told the other person, “Yeah he’s single and he’ll come out too. Good I’ll meet you soon. Great.” And that was it.

After the phone call she told me that her boyfriend and friends of hers were going out on the town and they had another female friend that was single. Straight away I didn’t like being matched on a blind date, as I had a bad experience once before. I said, “I hope you don’t want to try and match me up with someone? I hate that kind of thing.” Tracey looked at me and said, “No we’re just trying to make sure that everyone’s paired. There’s Mick, my boyfriend, Rhoda and David and there’s Jessie. We’re going to meet for dinner then go on to ‘Jackson’s on George’ Mick hates it when there’s a fifth wheel. So you’re coming ok.” I just nodded

We had finished our third schooner of beer when Tracey told us that we should go and meet the rest of the crowd. We walked down to China Town to an out of the way restaurant. Tracey was telling me about this place, they found, with the best food for a cheap price. As we entered Tracey went straight over to a man and planted a kiss on his face. I saw sitting behind him another couple only. I thought that’s right I’m the fifth wheel. I walked over to Tracey and was introduced to Mick, the man she kissed then Rhonda and David. As I sat down, not wanting to ask if my paired partner decided not to come, I saw this beauty come walking out from the rear of the restaurant.

She was about 170cm tall, honey blond hair, tied in a pony tail, slim waist, decent size breast, but her smile was infectious. Mick slapped me on the shoulder and said, “This is Jessie, I hope you like?” I just nodded my head. Jessie came over and we were introduced. As soon as I saw Jessie, she seemed familiar to me. I couldn’t remember where I had met her before, so I dismissed it. Anyway we sat down and started talking she was telling me that she worked in the same department as Mick, and she was new in town, after transferring from Brisbane.
Jessie and I talked we had similar tastes when it came to ordering.
