'Antonio Banderas'

I had been on only one blind date that wasn't arranged by anyone. That was quite funny, actually. I was stupid enough to place an ad in an London magazine. That was over ten years ago. I didn't leave my photo or a telephone number, just an e-mail address I've created especially for this ad. I got quite a few replies in the next couple of days and I decided to meet one of the guys: 'A tall, handsome, 28-year old Spanish, Antonio Banderas lookalike' (his description). I decided to meet him in the middle of the day, in the high street, in front of a shop. I went there early to look for an escape route (just in case). There was already one guy there, walking up and down, in front of the shop, but it couldn't have been him – I thought. The guy was about 45-50, short, with dark hair and a ponytail. I stood in front of the shop and he approached me at once. “Hi. Are you Jenny?” I looked at him with panic: “Sorry, I'm not. You must be looking for someone else.” Then I went into a phone booth next to the shop, pretending to call someone. When I left the booth I quickly walked away, thinking to myself: NO MORE BLIND DATES! The only resemblance between the guy and Antonio Banderas was... a ponytail! :-)
