Someone For Everyone

Well it had to happen; I knew it would happen. He has finally fallen in love! And boy has he fallen hard! The eligible bachelor of the group who made all his friends jealous by enjoying the single life, (we mean really enjoying it!) has met a girl.

He declined an afternoon's mix of beer and football to stay at home as his girlfriend was teaching him how to, wait for it... cook! This is a man who likes ding dong food; a takeaway or a ready meal. Seriously, nothing in his kitchen has ever been used!

Ok Ok, so taking cooking lessons from his girlfriend is one thing but to admit it to his friends is another thing all together - especially after all of the mickey-taking over the years. Hours of entertainment to be had with this!

So are we to believe that there really is someone out there for everyone? If you just go out in the world and get on with your life, will your 'soul mate' appear. Or do we just find someone who fits our needs at the time?

Gary wasn't looking for a special someone. In fact, he was still taking advantage of his youthful good looks and his thirty-odd years of experience. He scorned the 'settling down' instincts of his contemporaries. Unless secretly, of course, he was exhausted with all of those young women! Yeah right! In any event, he has fallen and fallen hard.

Perhaps he gives hope to all of those on blind dates, online dating websites and in the meals-for-one section of the supermarket!
