I have been reading Mystery Date for about three years. Although the date is full of surprises, I think none of the participants has ever been surprised like I was.
I was very excited when I was invited for the date. Initially, I did not want to tell anyone about it, but later I told my sister.
I arrived at the venue at about 5:30pm and I was told my date had not yet arrived.
A few minutes later, he arrived. As I turned my eyes away from the television, a light-skinned gentleman walked up to me and introduced himself.
At first, I was very scared I nearly froze in my seat.
When he realised that I was scared, he told me to calm down.
Martin is a nice guy. I was impressed by his American accent. He is quite knowledgeable about current and international affairs. I also admired his swag.
He told me that he is a student at Kyambogo University. We had a good time and exchanged telephone numbers. He promised to call.

Although Winnie was scared of me at first, our date was fun.
She arrived earlier than me. When I got there, I went to where she was seated and introduced myself.
At first, she was uncomfortable. I think she had not interacted with many people who are like me.
But, I told her not to be scared since I am human like her.
I told her I have siblings who are not like me and we get along well. From the expression on her face, I think I succeeded in removing the fear out of her.
Later, it was fun. We laughed and joked. She was a nice company.
She has a nice voice and I admired her feminine body.
She told me she is in her vacation and hopes to join the university soon.
Winnie also told me about her parents. I told her I am single and I asked her to be my friend.
We exchanged telephone numbers.
I hope she will not turn-down my offer for another date.
