Single in Sydney: Sarah’s set her sights on one of Sydney’s fanciest dates but there’s a problem ...

SARAH’S going to be wined and dined in the sky on one of Sydney’s most unusual $400 dates. There’s just one problem she needs to fix first ...

I’m going on Sydney’s most lavish date. I’m going to be wined and dined on Luna Park’s ‘award-winning Ferris Wheel Dining Experience.’

And not only that, there’s going to be matching wines. And the food — from fancy restaurant The Deck — includes “caramelised witlof, lemon beurre bloc and red vein sorrel.”

(I wanted to ask if there’ll be pie on the menu too, so you could literally eat pie in the sky, but thought they might be offended.)

Anyway I’ve no idea what any of those things are.

I really, really hope it’s not going this fast. Picture: Supplied.

But it’s not a problem.

It’s certainly not as big a problem as this problem.

The problem being: I have no actual date.

You see, I expressed an interest in the event — which was originally for Valentine’s Day but is now being repeated in March — when tourism bosses emailed me about it.

And before I knew it, I received an email which made my head spin.

It had the subject line: “Your Print at Home Tickets for Luna Park Sydney — Amusement Park.”

I was not amused at all.

I mean I’m grateful — it costs $399 a carriage.

But I’m just a little worried said carriage might tip up with just me in it.

And I can hear all you non-singles (including my mum) shouting from here.

“Easy! Get on tinder! Find a bloke on the internet!”

Please!

The last opening message I got on tinder was poetry.

It said: “When autumn began. The lake became as rough as an angry sea.”

Hmm.

I guess it’s better than my pal Jenna’s recent opener: “Hey babe wots up your hot” (SIC)

Honestly, I’d be better off putting an advert in the paper saying ‘date wanted’ than looking online.

And I’ve actually decided meeting blokes in real life is better anyway.

It’s part of my fresh new outlook.

I’ve been doing some life coaching you see.

That dating guru I met, Sarah Davis is teaching me ‘what we focus on grows.’

So basically, if I carry on moaning about not having a man, I’m never gonna find one.

I even ended up embracing Valentine’s Day and heading to a Pash and Dash night at Eastern Suburbs hotspot Pelicano with my new pal Annie (it was like being in an episode of Made in Chelsea, which is not necessarily a bad thing).

The pineapple cocktails at Pelicano came in amazing glasses

Anyway, on March 10 at 6pm, I’ll be going on this sky high date ... with a man.

Does anybody know a single, under 40-ish bloke, who can make some chat for two hours and who’s not a weirdo, nor scared of heights, who wants to come?

Get him to email me: sarah.swain@news.com.au
