I had the best date. We had a great conversation and I was very attracted to her. She mentioned that she found me attractive too. I really gussied myself up before this date. I got a fresh new haircut and wore my best clothes – freshly ironed clothes might I add! I really did put my best foot forward.
I’m not sure how many of you out there have struggled with a nail fungal infection before but it’s definitely something you don’t want. Take my word for it! Any type of foot fungus is simply uncomfortable. For me, I was experiencing a chronically itchy toe and pain when I walked. While my date and I were eating, I had to slam my foot down on the ground from time to time to ease the itch. I don’t think she noticed this. I do think she noticed me sticking my hand down my sock. The itching got so bad I had no option but to tuck my hand into my sock and start itching my foot directly. She didn’t say anything but I did notice a weird expression on her face. I don’t get why she was so offended. It’s not like I put my foot on the table for that long! Ten seconds to two minutes tops!
After dinner, she told me she needed to head home as she had an early morning. Being the gentleman I am, I walked her back to the apartment. She was so flattered by this gesture that she invited me upstairs. We sat down on the couch together and I saw her take her shoes off. I took this as a sign to take my shoes off.
We spoke for two hours and then as I got up to leave, she discreetly handed me a card for the best podiatrist in Cheltenham. What an absolute gem of a human! She saw I was struggling with a problem and found a way to help me without embarrassing me. It’s been three weeks and I’ve been calling each day. I’m still waiting to hear from her.
