A Southampton man has no idea his first date with an autistic woman is actually HER 7,245th date with HIM, it has been reported.
Paige Thomas, 23, has been on a prior 7,244 dates with Aidan Michaels, 25, all conducted entirely in her imagination but, no less real for it.
Thomas said: “We’ve had so many incredible times together. On our first date, he took me wine tasting, which was nice. After a couple of hundred dates, he really started stepping up his game.”
“On our 1000th date, he marked the occasion with a magic carpet ride, followed by a beautiful picnic on the moon.”
When the non-imaginary Michaels was asked what his plans were for his upcoming date, he responded: “I don’t know, maybe Pizza Hut?”
Speaking after their most recent date, Thomas said: “That was surprisingly anticlimactic after everything. I guess he’s run out of ideas.”
