A MARRIED couple have made excuses to get out of date night after 20 minutes because there was no chemistry whatsoever.
Hannah and Shaun Tomlinson visited a city centre cocktail bar, but both admitted that before they had even finished their first drink it was obvious this was not going to lead somewhere.
Hannah, aged 38, said: “I don’t like to be basic, but you’ve got to fancy them, haven’t you?
“You can have all the friendly conversation in the world but without that physical connection you’re both wasting your time. It was for his sake as much as mine.
“We’d finished our drinks, the gulf between us was yawning and unignorable, but rather than say anything I faked an urgent text and claimed there was a childcare emergency. I think he was as relieved as I was.
“I got home, took all my slap off, and slumped on the sofa in front of Gogglebox with a glass of wine and a feeling of lucky escape. He’s probably just as delighted to be at home playing videogames. Frankly I’m just glad we called it early.”
Shaun, aged 39, said: “Yeah, I don’t want to be rude but she was too fat for me. And old.”
