Future Meet and Greets
Find a Conversation

Well I got rid of the guy who lives in an extended stay who tried to use "guilt" in order for me to date him. Mmh, that was pretty weird and scary!!
Tonight, I have a "meet and greet" with a police officer at Starbucks. He is physically appealing (32, no kids), but nothing much in the conversation department -- honestly haven't had an indepth conversation, just quick hello, good-bye type chats. Yes, he has his own apartment (lives alone) and drives a Lincoln Navigator. No I didn't ask outright (which since my last experience makes me think I should) but in general conversation it was mentioned (which I prefer). No enthusiasm or expectations, just we will see how it goes. He seems pretty excited, probably cause this is his FIRST meet and greet from the internet. Ironically he wrote to me on the BBW site. I'm not really a BBW, and posted there like a year ago and forgot about it. Mmh, it's possible I may be rejected cause I'm not big enough!! (smile)
I have another meet and greet on Sunday and this guy initially had me pretty excited. Again, physically appealing (42, 4 kids) works nights and school during the day (via online). Apparently has future goals of going to law school. We have great phone chemistry (stimulating conversations) and these past 2 weeks he has been pretty steady about calling. I must admit I'm not big about talking on the phone a lot but for some reason I'm cool with it. Also he has been real good about leaving nice lil messages on my phone at work when I arrive wishing me a good day. He also is very open about how he's feeling -- ex., "it's been a long time since I feel the way that I do", "I know I shouldn't call but couldn't resist", blah, blah, blah. I must admit that we are both feeling some anxiety (more him than me) about meeting cause just because there is chemistry on the phone doesn't mean there will be chemistry in person. Glad I'm seeing and chatting with others cause it keeps me in perspective. Unfortunately, for the guy he is pretty gung-ho (sp?). Till Sunday......
Another guy (who I wrote to 4-5 months ago and never replied) decided to write to see if I was interested in chatting and so we have been briefly chatting while at work (1-2 emails a day). Well today he sends me his profile as I wrote him and asked for it since I didn't really know what guy was writing me! (smile) Well if you guys can remember I posted a few months ago about a friend of mine who was stood up twice by a guy and then they finally went on a date and she went back to his house and had sex (all over the place) and obviously never heard from him again. Guess what, it was him!! LOL I didn't realize I even wrote to the guy when my gf showed me who he was. Nice flowing conversation, no sexual overtures, it's been nice. Have decided to continue chatting with him so we will see -- no I didn't mention anything to my gf or the guy.
I'm stacking my pringles, but ooh it's difficult. I have about 2-3 guys that I need to make return phone calls too! LOL
It's either feast or famine. Oh the perils of OLD.....wish me luck and stay tuned for the updates!!!

Hi there,
Thanks.
As for the guy who "ditched" my friend, I don't see it that way nor as a character flaw on his part! IMO, she shouldn't have gotten with him in the first place and told her so. Him, or nobody for that matter could stand me up twice and then I make a 3rd date and proceed to go to his house to have sex. She also knew that he probably would not call again, but it was really all about "I haven't been on a date in a while, and I want some company."
To gal_moonlight, I also posted recently about my friend celebrating her 7 year marriage to a guy she met who was her former gf's booty-call lover. It seems men behave the way they want until they meet the one!!
Regardless my eyes are wide-opened! (smile) Nothing may become of the last guy (or any of them for that matter), but I'm enjoying myself. It's raining men right now for me considering NOTHING happened during the summer when my son was away!! Just think I was actively pursuing then. Go figure!!
Hi,
Boy, this stacking the pringles sounds better and better! LOL. ;)
At first, I thought I'd stick to one at a time (when I get to that point), but I was looking through the site that I like the best (today), and thinking, "I'd like to meet him once. He seems different than me, more energetic, and that could be good for me." Then another, "I sort of like the way this one worded that. He'd be worth a try." etc., etc. I did that through a few of them.
Good luck with your cop date. Maybe it will be pleasantly surprising? :) As for the other guy, well...ya never know. ;)

Thats the right attitude. Im glad its raining men for you now. I just don't think this guy even deserves your attention. I understand about your friends luck with her friends booty call, but thats like one in a million.
go you! enjoy the "Feast"! :)
as for the 3rd guy, i would bet you a million bucks that he is not looking for a relationship. isn't it quite a coincidence that he's met both you AND your girlfriend? could it be because he meets EVERY girl who lives within a 50 mile radius? especially since he does stuff like standing people up and failing to write back for 4-5 months... sounds to me like he has WAY too many balls in the air... go ahead and meet him if you're just looking to get out and have a guy buy you a drink - nothing wrong with that! - but don't expect him to call you again. he'll already be moving on to the next girl.
