That is exciting! I love the feeling you get when you first start talking to someone that you think you could really connect with. I hope it goes well!

Cool!!! I know the feeling! I'm in a similar situation--I posted a new ad on CL on Monday and this guy responded who could not be more my type, physically (assuming his pic and description are accurate), and we seem to be clicking in email and on the phone. We've both said how excited we are to meet each other--he's out of town on business but he just called me and said he's heading back today and wants to meet later. I know from experience that I'm probably *too* excited about him and there's a huge chance it won't work out, but it's kind of fun to feel this anticipation (although there's a healthy dose of fear mixed in). The best part is, he says he really prefers women with my body type so I don't have to worry about that.

So I will keep my fingers crossed for BOTH of us!!!

Quite honestly, I think you look like a model, and I am shocked that you don't have 5 guys calling to ask you out at any given time. You seem to have it all together, or at least keep it together even when life throws you a curve ball. I'm sure that is a draw also for some of these guys.

I have learned a thing or two from you and you've helped me deal with some of my own curve balls. Life isn't easy for anyone though--that much I continually have to re-learn.

Keep us posted on this one. :)

That connection is great, but it could lead to a bubble burst. I was emailing with a guy I was very excited about, very much on the same wavelength....until...

When he found out that I drink alcohol socially, he started lecturing me about it. Ugh! You know, I've dated non-drinkers in the past & it's all good, but I hate it when anybody is closed minded about others doing it. I'm the same way about religion...we can disagree on how to worship, but at least accept that the other person is the way they are.

Nevertheless, I had to NEXT this guy because we obviously are not a good fit.

Well, it didn't work out to meet up with this guy last night, so we are meeting for coffee today at 1 PM. I put the queasy icon because I really feel almost sick with excitement about meeting this guy. Ugh, not a good thing. But luckily I have an early lunch with a client beforehand in an hour so I will have something else to focus on in the meantime.

And FWIW, I'm never specific about my weight or how much I have to lose so that I don't have to fudge, LOL! I just say that I'm overweight but not huge and working on it (which is true), and maybe give a size range.
