Okay ladies, I have plunged back into the dating world. And wanted to give you the scoop.
- Cyclist - a friend called (she is married) and she met a nice tall cyclist in a park where she rides and he was talking to her and indicated he is single and looking. So I joined her on her ride today. It was great to get out of the house and the park where we rode is on the beach so there is a lovely view all around. He was there and rode with us. He is a nice person and friendly but has stained teeth and I don't think I could get past that. I did make sure I brought up the fact that I am a single mom and he seemed receptive. So that was good practice for me.
- Mr.NO-EMAIL - there is a cute lawyer on match.com who totally overrode my request to get a little background info via email. He said he won't do an email relationship and we should meet in person right away. Now, I was not asking for an email relationship or any kind of relationship for that matter - just a few introductory questions in my very first email reply to his so I can see if there is a dialog and get a feel for his intentions and attitude - like how long have you lived here and where are you from type of thing. I did state that I like to exchange a few emails before I can feel comfortable and his reply was that if we meet in a very public place I will feel fine. So he goes in the trash. Anyone who can't at least send back a few short emails and just wants to meet in person is not my cup of tea. I want someone who can be a little accomodating.
- MRYOUARETOOGOOD - I winked at a nice sounding guy and he sent back this note that says I am too tall and beautiful but perhaps he just slips under the wire of my criteria - this to me feels like he is waffling and not that confident of himself and that just doesn't make me want to email him back. So I don't think I will.
So that is the scoop. I hope you all have a Happy Easter weekend - whatever you are doing. We have so many nice new people now and our board is nothing but a joy. You all helped me a lot this week with my coach saga (who by the way was totally dumbfounded about my statement - I heard this via my old babysitter who is dating his brother).
I will be riding my bike a lot this weekend as well as spending time with DS and my family.
CHEERS!

I have a chronic illness and I would not be offended if someone didn't want a relationship with me because of that - I have no choice but they do.
Sorry jerbear - I certainly did not mean to offend. But First is right - we cannot help how we feel and how others feel about us as well.
It sounds like you are doing all you can with getting his teeth straight for now - and I bet by the time he wants to date they will have an easy solution to make them look nice for him. I think that a defect is much different than some older man who doesn't take care of his teeth - those are just 2 different pictures.
