As first dates go, my day trip to Belfast with Rapunzel was pretty good.She didn't turn up in a wheelchair or reveal a mental illness - and at the end of an epic 13 hours together I was left wanting more. That is until she described our goodbye kiss as "awkward" on her blog.
Don't worry, though - we've discussed this and agreed it was all her fault. In fact, we've been talking quite a lot - sometimes until the wee hours of the morning.
And, you'll be pleased to hear, we're going on a second date. Though it might not be for a while as we're both really busy right now.
In other news, I recently won a competition over at jennaintheditch. The prize was a new brand of mints called Linger. Now, these are not your standard Tic Tacs. They're actually designed for women, as Jenna explains quite graphically on her blog:
Okay, so you know when you're getting all 'kissy kissy' with your man, and then things begin to really look up because he starts heading down? Except sometimes you have to think about when you last showered. Don't lie - you know you think about that! Then, out of fear of being 'not so fresh' you end up forfeiting your turn? Well, ladies - not anymore. I introduce you to Linger. Give it half an hour and they'll have you minty fresh and ready for a pants party. Yep, you guessed it - Linger is a mint for your hu-ha (or as the company refers to it: Internal Feminine Flavouring).
Anyway, they're obviously no use to me - so I was thinking about giving them to Rapunzel on our second date. Hopefully I'll get a taste test.
While I'm rounding things up, I had the bizarre privilege this week of being named among YourTango's '10 Guys to Follow on Twitter for Dating Advice'. And no, the irony wasn't lost on me. Nevertheless, if you do want to track my tweets - click here.
And finally, a big thanks to Keren David from Almost True for her immense help with my posts over recent weeks. This lady has just released her debut novel, When I Was Joe - a real page turner about a teenager taken into police protection after witnessing a stabbing. You can buy it here.

Vaginal mint! Rapunzel's friends are going to go berserk now
Congratulations on winning and I can't wait to see how the gift goes down, it takes a brave man to suggest to a woman that her pussy stinks and I would think it will definitely stop you from finding out if it was true, mind you it might be even more badly received if you give them to her after you have got intimate. Perhaps if you suggest pelvic exercises to her at the same time. I hear they are also looking for inexperienced trainee lion tamers at Chester Zoo, why not give that a go as well.
Obviously irony is not a strong point at FHM, but surely you can wangle some sort of sponsorship out of your link, you know decent clothes, a haircut where you don't get change from a tenner. I can see it all now, "Scouser gets FHM makeover - bags the babe"!
2nd date. that's awesome!
I was thinking, the fact that Rapunzel got to read your life thru blogs and still wanted to go on a date with you actually helped you overall.
The thing that ruins dates most I've noticed is when one has an optimistically postive impressions of someone and reality turns out to be sadly lacking.
Whatever the impression your blog gives it definitely works in your favor. Thus any future non-rapunzel dates should be directed at your blog beforehand and if they can handle that there's good chances and if they can't you've saved yourself money & time. :D
Fishy I think you both are making us wait for pure blog traffic purposes! LOL. I cannot wait any longer!
Ok I am not sure what any guy would think if he went down on me only to find a mint taste? That might color him surprised.
Mints for downunder?!
Where is this world going?
I mean, seriously, that's like one of the most useless things I've ever heard off.
Wow, I'm a little shocked that people actually seem to think that's something you need...
It may be my extreme down-to-earth Dutchness, but I think it's crazy.
Anyway, excited to read about date #2.

I'd imagine that a Listerine spritzer would work equally well and only require a matter of seconds to work.
please don't put awkward kisses and vaginal mint in the same sentence.
That just cannot be good for one's vadge. I imagine that a recall of the product is imminent, although I shudder to think of the injuries that will prompt this.
Do you promise to post her reaction to the minty goodness present? Now that's what I call blogging gold.
But by now she's probably read it on the blog, hm.
Sorry, think again... http://consumerist.com/2009/10/vaginal-mints-are-a-very-very-bad-idea.html
Ooh, thanks for the mention! Very much looking forward to the day you offer the vaginal mints to someone.
I read somewhere that men think that women wash too much anyway...
If you don't get engaged on the blog I'll be very disappointed!

Who knew??? Linger...shrugging..
Do you have to let it linger.... Someone sung something about that - am sure you with your creativeness could rewrite the song words for the new product???
I suggest sneaking into her handbag... Good luck with the proposition, could only be awkward after, even worse she could be well appreciative and indicate its what she really needed.... ewww
LOL, taste test. That's post-material for sure... or is it?
I have to agree with Dating Diva. The mint taste is a big tip-off that I was trying to hide something down there.
Anyway, congratulations on the YourTango list---how fantastic!! Looking forward to your next Rapunzel installment.
Don't let her use those mints unless you have a taste of yeast (ick!). They're novelty mints with the marketing gone horribly wrong.

Much love,

You are wonderfully vulgar, you know that?
Taste test indeed....
I keep a loaded super soaker for cases like that. It contains a bit of vinegar. Helps.
Nice post and this fill someone in on helped me alot in my college assignement. Gratefulness you on your information.
hey fish, loving your latest escapades! i'm trying to access rapunzel's page from your link but for some reason its not working :(
anyway, good luck on the 2nd date!
and linger... seriously? (wonder whether they have it here..)
oh and thanks for dropping by although i hadn't updated in a while ;)
The taste test comes on the 3rd date, silly boy.
"Hopefully I'll get a taste test" ahahaha
Vaginal mints? Now i have heard it all.
I think your vulgarity ('hope i get a taste test') is part of your charm. Don't change...you dirty bastard! hehe.
Looking forward to the next installment from your 2nd date! :)
Congrats on winning and vaginal mints??????
Wow just wow!

I've just decided that I am in love with your blog.
Not even the kind of love that flashes like a hand grenade and disappears into the air like a bolt of lightning but the kind that lingers around for years with the scant scent of that perfume you ran out of about 6 months ago.
That probably was a horrible reference but perhaps you get the idea.
You take the term "getting fresh" to a whole new sordid level. Love it.
Congrats on your prize too. Maybe you should give the fanny mints to Rapunzel for Valentine's Day? Or maybe not.
