An Adults Idea

'What have you been up to?', I knew that my friend Lisa was bursting to tell me something, she was usually round my house all the time, especially at weekends when she was a bit bored, but I hadn't actually seen her for a few weeks.

'I've been internet dating', she giggled, like a schoolgirl who has just been caughthaving a kissbehind the bike sheds. 'You're never going to find true love like that', I replied, trying to sound stern but inside I was absolutely bemused by her, 'who wants true love?' she retorted, 'I'm certainly getting plenty of action in the bedroom department, and that's much more fun'.

I tried to warn her that internet dating was dangerous and that she ought to be careful, but she didn't listen. She had always thought of me as a bit of an old fashioned fuddy duddy, so instead she went into a long list of all the men she had met on the internet dating site, and what antics they had been getting up to, she left nothing to the imagination. I learned that Tom was 'hung like a donkey anda real hunk, but more interested in pleasing himself', and that Steve was very adventurous and she'd done things with him that she'd never even thought about before, and that Nigel liked doing it secretly in public places and they'd actually nearly got caught in the ladies room at the publiclibrary of all places. She'd had to leave first and then watch for the all clear before he dare come out. She wasmeeting him again the following afternoon at thelocal football stadium, where hopefully everybodyelse would be busy watching thefootball.She did assure me that she was taking precautions not to catch anything nasty, and then suggested that I should try a bit of internet dating myself, to 'broaden my horizons' from the usual boring types I go out with. I declined but made her promise to be careful and let me know how she was getting on.

The following week she arrived again, with a smile like a crescent moon. She was going to Paris with Nigel for a dirty weekend, they were fancying their chances up the Eiffel Tower and all the other famous Paris landmarks, 'we're going to post a blog' she giggled. Off she went to buy new lingerie for the weekend, apparently Nigel had given her a list of his favourite things to take with them.
