Christmas can be a boring and frustrating time, for me at least… spending a couple of weeks back home without much to do beyond being stuck in the house with my parents and younger sister. This year has been a particularly dull one, as most of my usual friends from the area have been away or haven’t returned home, leaving me without much to do over the Christmas period. It’s the kind of thing that sends a girl to Tinder to pass the time…
My search for an excuse to leave the house reached its peak in the immediate aftermath of Christmas, as cabin fever truly took hold. Even this proved largely fruitless (everyone is busy with more important things I suppose), but finally a possibility emerged.
Boxing Day saw me frequently reaching for my phone to chat and plan possibilities with a 53 year-old who had Super Liked me and was very keen for a quick and satisfying meet-up, and we spent the day talking on and off about experiences and potential plans, which were finally set in stone for the following evening.
