That rare thing that you want to happen happened - two women, one Greek, one Italian, both students - joined the table that me and my friend were sitting at and they initiated conversation. They asked what a word meant on a guy's Tinder profile, which was "shenaniganiser", so I got to explain to them it wasn't exactly a real word and that someone who describes himself as such is almost certainly best avoided. I was in reasonably good form and both girls were flirting with me over a couple of hours, but one kept saying "you're very shy" which didn't exactly help matters. I think something could have happened, but I didn't feel confident enough, also having 5 or 6 beers and no evening meal made me concerned that I should get myself home and not potentially make a fool out of myself. They made me add one of them on Facebook (not the one I particularly liked!), so it's entirely possible I'll see them again, but I wouldn't be too distraught otherwise. I just mention it because I was very aware of my shyness and it was commented upon and I didn't think I came across as particularly shy, but I guess people just know, don't they? Anyway, it was nice to get that kind of real life, non-app-based attention, I just wish it would happen more often...
