After the exertions of the first year, I thought that I was past that stage of being chased for a date now. I was in the Second Year after all and would be dictating things rather than the other way round. And being extremely averse of doing assignments for the fairer sex, I thought that I would be under the radar as far as dates go. Well.........apparently, I was wrong.
Typically, the Freshers Party is a month into the first term of the year. A major part of the month was thru without any alarming signs. That was till I got a phone call one day. It was a lady from my junior batch. She had apparently done a background check on me through some common friend she had discovered and decided that I would be the perfect choice for the date. All that was required was an official communique and this was it.
Lest I get any ideas about her having any designs on me, she informed me that she had a boyfriend whom she was extremely committed too. I have read my fair share of P.G. Wodehouse novels and probably have been subconciously influenced by the "Code of the Woosters". Hence I could obviously not turn down the date. So hoping for the best I said "that would be great" in my most charming voice and started preparations for what had turned out to be a blind date.
Over the next week or so, I made efforts to put a a face to the voice, but was unsuccesful. Maybe she wanted to keep it as a surprise till the end!!!
And so, I was on the verge of starting my second date......
