Okay girls. This is coming out in a flood without prior thinking and editing.

He is okay in the looks department. But a bit older looking than his pictures for sure. We meet at Starbucks and I was ready to ring the order takers' necks. They are both new and asked me so many questions about a simple iced tea - I could have choked them - maybe it was nerves or I needed rlch's champagne instead? They kept asking the size and the flavor and what do I want in it? LOL!!

We chatted for almost an hour and then both had to go.

Like: I like that he is polite and is happy with his work and seems to do okay. I know his business has contracted since all of building has in this country - but he has downsized and is doing remodeling and seems to be afloat. Has been in it a long time.

Dislike: He didn't seem at all interested in my sports stuff. Only talked about his work. His decorating tastes seem very stuffy to me - but I guess that is the luxury home business where people like to put in Louis the 14th furniture - he had asked how I decorate and I explained how I have found bargains that are comfortable and used the Sell this House principle of design and I don't think he was too impressed with that.

He did say he wants to get together again and will call. He asked how does dating work with your son? I said it has never been an issue - I have sitters or can dash out for a bite to eat for dinner. He knows my son has a dad in the picture who takes him half of every weekend. For some reason that felt awkward to me - but not sure why.

I don't know. If I put a picture in my mind right now I see wilted lettuce. Not sure? Maybe I need lunch and a bike ride to perk me up.

Votes and thoughts are appreciated.

I guess maybe you could say I prefer more of a rugged sporty type and this one seems a bit fruity?

I think guys who need the homes to have all the furniture uppity, stuffy-like decorated, and "in place" also like "

Well he stopped calling and writing. The only time I write "we are not a match" is when they persist. Because even though I might take the time to explain or write a simple note, men never like that as we would. And usually what they write back is not always nice. And being a single mom I get paranoid as to what some crazy idiot might do about rejection.

I suppose I do have a little devil in me and delight in learning the best of traits from a man. When you are not interested, you don't call back or answer the phone!! LOL!!

Okay - and the devil in me was up to NO good today - or maybe a lot of fun/good. I took one of the pix the lifeguard took of me at my race and put it up on my profile!!!!!!!!!! LOL!! And I changed the whole thing around - rewrote it and put up a new tag line. All dusted off and ready for new adventures!! Only there are no adventures right now. Do you suppose they are all of worrying about their Halloween costumes? LOL!! All is quiet on the Western Front. And that is okay - I have been REALLY busy between work and DS's school activities.
