Lurker, unlurking to find out... all you single moms out there who've been dating:


How often do you actually get butterflies thinking about the possibilities with a new date?


I consider myself fairly cynical about the dating process after 2 years of steady online dating. I have even gone as far as constructing "rules" to follow --

Interesting topic... you made me go dig DEEP into the archives of the DASP board to find some of the first posts I had about Hiker, who I've been dating for over 2.5 yrs now. I still sometimes get butterfly-y before a date with him! Not because I'm nervous about anything, but just because I still get excited and giddy about seeing him! lol


Before the date: http://messageboards.ivillage.com/n/mb/message.asp?webtag=iv-psdatesingle&msg=5813.1&ctx=128


Our first date report: http://messageboards.ivillage.com/n/mb/message.asp?webtag=iv-psdatesingle&msg=5816.1&ctx=128


Then the next few: http://messageboards.ivillage.com/n/mb/message.asp?webtag=iv-psdatesingle&msg=5831.1&ctx=128


And then at 5 months: http://messageboards.ivillage.com/n/mb/message.asp?webtag=iv-psdatesingle&msg=6148.1&ctx=128


It goes on... but from that point, we've been pretty much "at cruising altitude" and have been cruising since, with no huge changes except that we are just totally comfortable with each other and the newness has worn off. And yet we still like each other. :-)


**edited to add**


Adding this one because it has another date thing- but mostly because I had copy/pasted my OLD and his in one of the responses- and I found that interesting, too: http://messageboards.ivillage.com/n/mb/message.asp?webtag=iv-psdatesingle&msg=6227.1&ctx=128


What a walk down memory lane!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks, isysmoon!


It was quite entertaining myself- to read all those posts from over 2 yrs ago! I was like a giddy school girl, all excited inside-
