I does not surprise me that many people tell you that you are a positive influence in their life. In fact I know for certain there are many here who would tell you the same..myself included!
I wish I had words to make your "funk" go away and you to feel better. I guess sometimes you just have to feel it and go through the bad moods and know they are just passing clouds. My hope is that you find that connection you desire with one of your meetings. I'm impressed at how you get out there and do that with such a positive outlook.
There's a weight on your shoulders, it is easy to sense even through this cyber space. One thing I know about you is that your laughter is such a joy to hear, when something tickles you and you laugh, it's pure sunshine. I hope that you are able to share that laughter with someone this week! What a gift to them! Use it if and when the teacher gets too serious and tries to tell you what to do...lol!
Hey maybe she will be a hot school teacher with a ruler
Awesome Mark.. positively impacting peoples lives... that's what it's all about... now for sure... great things (30, 60, even 100x) will come back to you!!
Thanks for the luck. Tonight was OK. The 53 yr old teacher was a bit overpowering. She had me pegged for she so reminded me of what I left behind in NJ, as SHE put it this Jewish b*tch. Funny thing is that she did not like Japanese guys from her experience in being with a Sun Myung Moon community that had arrogant, know-it-all J-guys. But as the evening progressed I really enjoyed her and we made plans to go hiking with our dogs this weekend. I am not romantically feeling it but she grew on me LOL. And of course, I was exactly the opposite of her past experience.
I got a call from another eH woman. 57 yo teacher who lived near my kids so after a quick shower, I grabbed my dog and met her at the dog park for a walk. I felt she was too timid and not physically attractive at all (hard to tell that from the tiny eH picture and she looked different). So I walked her back to her house and told her that we were not a match. I went on to see my kids and DS18 and I walked Chili again.
I got email from this 48 yr old Match.com woman saying how concerned on how long I have been on OLD for I called her and told her I have been on and off it since my divorce 8 yrs ago. She thought I just wanted to date around. I told her that I certainly did not (since dating is soooo MUCH fun.. NOT!) and have had several relationships in those 8 yrs. That reassured her but that put me off. I told her how I desired directness and appreciated that she sent me that email expressing her concerns. I told her that it is so critical how we can check out assumptions and preconceptions and concerns. We are on for this Thu.
I am still getting email from this Match 51 yr old woman that looks really good but have not gotten a call from her in the week or so of communicating for various reasons. I hope she is as good as she seems from her messages and photos when we finally meet.
Tomorrow will be with this Latino woman who travels the world to teach as well as teach locally.

Thanks for caring and encouragement Pacsun.
Friday I got to be with my DD15 and we saw the video, Gracie which is about this teenage girl who made it on the boys' high school soccer team.

You are a good person and a positive influence for many, including myself!
I have enjoyed your updates and the male perspective on dating - and hope that the funk is gone tomorrow! :-)
HUGS!!
