- We talked about work, our respective outlooks on life (which are quite similar), he talked about living in the Middle East, and his plans to sell his current home in Zurich and buy in Bern instead.
- The conversation continued over dinner and a shared bottle of red wine, and we somehow ended up having a pretty deep and meaningful conversation about family, upbringing, and parents. I told him a lot about being a carer for my mum before she died, and he had also lost his mum to cancer after looking after her for three months so we had plenty of shared experiences.
- He also let slip that he hadn’t planned on coming to Brisbane, but that he had flown down just to go on a date with me. I told him that was a lot of pressure, but he said just to forget he’d told me and treat it like any normal first date.
- After dinner I was keen to continue, and I had been talking about a recent trip to the German club, so Bachelor Number 24 suggested that we drop in for a nightcap. I agreed, and we headed off in a taxi. As we walked up to the bar, the bartender recognised me and said “Hey, how many sour apple schnapps this time?” I laughed it off, and told Bachelor Number 24 I had been a patron many times. This was further demonstrated when we sat down in the beer hall (after three shots each of sour apple schnapps) and the entertainer, Andrew, having finished a set came straight off stage to say hello to me. And ask where Macca and Magic were. He’s totally in love with them.
- Bachelor Number 24 also had a couple of beers (which is a lot of beer at the German Club, they are full pints!), and we kissed a few times sitting at the table in the beer hall. He had his hand on my butt, on my thigh, and on my back most of the time. Two more shots of schnapps each, then he asked if I wanted to dance. So we danced to the likes of “Sweet Caroline” and “Moondance”, before buying a takeaway bottle of schnapps and heading back to my place.
