So even with all the weirdness I've encountered this week, with diaper boy and naked pictures man, I actually have a first meeting.

It's someone I chatted with on jdate last spring and then he saw me on match the other day. We spoke this morning and I'm going to go up and have dinner with him Saturday night. I know the rule is to make him come to you. But I actually perfer to meet them in their area the first time.

He seems like a fun guy. A little bit older than me. But I can tell not looking to settle down right now. Which is exactly what I need. It's been a little over a month since A and I broke up and thought I was moving passed it. But between the several near encounters I've almost had with him and the fact that he and his friends have been in the paper quite a bit, I realized I am soooo not emotionally ready for anything serious even if I met "The One." I'm just not in that place yet. But, I am ready to go out and meet people and have fun.

So I'm seeing this as a chance to have a night with good food and hopefully some laughter. And if he turns out to be boring, a good friend of mine lives down the street from where we are meeting, so I can always pop over there.

This is one little "thing". He and my brother have the same first name. If I find myself attacted to this guy and want to see him again, I might need to give him a nickname. ;)

I think it's awesome that you know you're not emotionally ready for anything serious. That's great that you're still looking though. I had a really hard time with that after a break up a year ago. Sometimes I still think I'm not healed from that. Have fun this weekend and I'm glad you have a friend to fall back on if it doesn't work out! Let us know.

I also think it is good, but just make sure the guys you go out with are aware that you are not looking to get serious. You don't want them expecting something that you can't give yet. Good luck - hope you have a good time!
