New horror movie to my collection and a desire to go on a blind date at some point

Being almost 40, with no partner for my entire adult life, I feel it's time to once again throw caution to the wind and go on a blind date, to see who I can meet.

I am not very demanding of my future blind date: Be a decent person and be employed full time. I don't want to end up with a raging racist/homophobic person who is broke. Someone who loves to laugh, would also be nice. It doesn't have to be in a restaurant or in a cafe. A walk and talk is much better. Just for an hour, to see if there's chemistry. I am always suggesting meeting in a public place, with lots of people. If there's a second date, it could be in a restaurant or in cafe. Third date could be in the cinema, and the fourth date could be in a theme park.

The time to visit each other in their private homes is only when we both feel like it's the right time to do that. No point in pressuring to meet privately for the first time. You'd want to see if the person you're on a blind date with is sane and not a creepy serial killer like person.

The thing I have heard most from women, going on blind dates - or any date - is that the guy they're meeting won't take no for an answer or are way too creepy. I saw a tiktok about a woman from England who met a guy on a dating app. They agreed to meet, but the guy kept trying to arrange to meet where the woman lived. Naturally, it was a hard no from her side, but the guy didn't catch on.

As you could imagine, meeting up in a public place wasn't his ideal location, because he packed an overnight bag because apparently, he thought he's get lucky with her.

Men like that are the reason why the men, who aren't creeps, get a harder and harder time finding a date. Once, I met someone online, and after a few weeks it was time to meet in person. She said to me "Now you're probably demanding to meet at my place, right?", to which I said "No. I prefer to meet at a public place with lots of people, and if you decide not to pursue this further, that's fine". It only resulted in that first date, which I respected.

I am blabbing on. The point is, that I want to meet someone new. Hopefully that will happen soon.

In other topics: A new movie to my collection. This time, it's a fairly new horror movie, called The Last Voyage of the Demeter. It's a supernatural horror movie based on a chapter in Bram Stoker's novel Dracula, from 1897. The film is, naturally, about Dracula and the terror and horror he inflicted on the Demeter.

It's a fun and very gory time. It's not very creepy, but the creature design can be a bit frightening to younger viewers.

It's also a bit sad at times, and downright depressing at other times, but most of all: It's very good! If you are a fan of supernatural horror movies with lots of blood, give The Last Voyage of the Demeter a view!
