This is a few years ago when I was in my second year of uni.
I matched with this tall, ginger Irish lass on tinder and invited her to this Metal event my housemate was dragging me to.
We hadn’t spoken much, just general pleasantries and I kind of invited her as a throwaway thing while I was on my way to the event. I didn’t even know she turned up until I saw her in line at the bar.
She didn’t recognise me, I had just started growing a beard properly, all of my tinder pics are clean shaven so it took a few seconds to get her attention and say hi.
The music was shit, for a metal night all they seemed to be playing was back to back pop punk. I don’t mind pop punk but if I’ve come to a metal night I want, at the very least, some Maiden. And they only had one bartender on so the wait for drinks got ridiculous.
Sandra and I ended up sitting in the smoking area to chat for a few minutes before deciding we wanted to get the fuck out of there and head to mine. (God I miss uni).
