My first girlfriend was someone in our street. We used to walk our dogs and meet every morning.
Nice girl, whose Father went to work in Germany for a while and ended up with another woman from Germany. The family moved away after some years.
Living in Dagenham was a case of school during the week and football at the weekends. We would meet up with girlfriends on a Saturday and Sunday, but the girls were also supposed to come and watch me play football.
Some did and some didn't.
Through the teenage years, I wasn't that bothered with girls and I certainly wasn't, as successful as my mates.
Paul was my best mate and we went around together all the time, going to night clubs after our 18th birthday. In the meantime whenever we went out, girls would look at him.
He would tell me, while in a club or bar, that a couple of girls were looking, but for some reason always delayed going to talk to them. He always gave an excuse to wait and make sure!
Eventually, I would get fed up and go to the dance floor and do my dances or go and talk to them. All my dancing was choreographed, not like the stupid bopping of today. This gave me an advantage as girls would come up and say 'we like your dancing can we dance with you.' Then Paul would come and join.
He was a smooth guy, unlike me, as I didn't care whether I got girls or not, I just wanted to enjoy myself. Sounds like Big Bang theory team!
In my early teen years I spent down at the Romford YMCA. It had football training and gym training which I loved to go to. Then Paul and his friends from school started to come and there was a youngsters club at the YMCA. We sat and chatted, played table tennis, which I got quite good at and played Essex county players. Of course I lost, but I gave them a run for their money.
Then we had the disco's. Music like Silver machine, Marc Bolan, James Taylor, Carole King etc etc
As we were all a good group, I had few girlfriends from there.
There was Sue, whose Father was a policeman and they lived in Hornchurch. There was my good friend Val who lived in Elm Park. A few others from Romford and the surrounding area.
At nearly 16 years old, I worked at the local Tescos. It was here that I met my first sexual experience.
Can't remember her name (no surprise) but it was down a dark alleyway on a cold night. Not too successful, but at least I got on the 'step' as they say. Anyway, I can remember an occasion where we went to the golf course. A bunker is apt, but not good for sex!
I think that I was too polite at this age (not that I should have been anything else), so my conquests were few and far between, but I didn't care, 'cos I was focused on football.
In my secondary school, I went out with a few girls. Again, I wasn't bothered that much, because of football.
In todays age, all things have changed to my day. Many times I was turned down by girls, because I wasn't good looking, but maybe in todays age I would strike it much better. It seems geeky is in!
I tried to make girls laugh, but this didn't help much, so if a pretty girl says she wants a man to make her laugh, don't you believe it! They want someone to show off in one way or another. If the partner is geeky, it means he could start a company and earn a fortune- That's what it's really all about!!
I am sure I am missing some, but I guess the main theme above is, that yes I like girls, but I like football more!! Shame I didn't make a professional player, maybe in todays world I might have!
