EEEEEEEE He called
| Tue, 06-12-2007 - 9:25am |
I am like a 15 year old.
He called and wanted to say thank you that he really had a great time with me and was impressed that I could learn to play pool so well and had so much fun. He definitely wants to hang out again - to go on bike rides or go to dinner or to the movies or play more pool. So he wants me to email him my training schedule.
So when I hung up the phone I screamed like a kid and my dogs ran to see what I was doing. I explained, Mama had a date! Good thing DS is at tennis camp this morning!
Had to share. I guess this is the good side of dating and I am having fun.

Ok, sorry, I didn't read this earlier. Missed it. DARN IT! That sucks.
You do have to worry about the one's that were never married and never long enough to really commit themselves. So are you going to TOTALLY put the breaks on this or just see where it goes? I know I couldn't be with someone that I knew had more then a toilet seat. That would really make me worry about "getting" something.
I am going to put the brakes - meaning my expectations on it - and confirm for sure. Because maybe somehow he just likes to be the photographer and have fun and has not slept with them. They are events that go on the beach. The only thing I could say in his favor is that last year's albums do not have any photos of that nature and this year he does not have any photos and is more into his racing - bought an expensive computer and bike and is signed up for an ironman and more into training. That is like he is hanging by a thread. It is probably like the fireman's drinking - I think I see it but I should confirm it.
But in the mean time I am working hard on communicating with other matches. Don't get my hopes up, see if I can do better.
There is one cyclist/runner who is a dad, is divorced, has his own business, just lives a tad far but not too far.
Then there is a swim coach who just wrote. He is divorced with 1 kid, lives close by and is cute and wrote a fun note. He has agnostic checked - and I really don't like that - but it warrants a discussion.
There were 2 more that wrote - one is just so bad in the looks department I had to delete - but he is 49 and never married.
The other is 44 and never married and lives far from here and is not into the fitness so much - he likes to ride his bike where the fireman partied - on a boardwalk that is wall to wall bars - so he got the delete.
Okay - I came up with something funny.
Lifeguard had sent me a private message in the athlete forum where I participate. And under his note was his signature with the URL to his site that had all the pix I spoke about here.
I was getting messages from one of the athletes - and I noticed the one in there from lifeguard. So.. being the bad bad girl that I can be.... I wrote him back!!
I said, "I see you have quite a site there!! You never told me you were a chippendale!"
HAHAHA - see what he says to that! But it does put the whole topic out in the open and in a funny way, at least to me. And at this point there is nothing for me to lose.
And actually, the chippendale part I might forgive because it is probably something he did for one time only when he was like 21. But the part that is questionable is the 3 years worth of photos from wet t shirt type parties and girls in thong bathing suits from the beach.
But.... those Chippendale photos were there on the public website!
I think that OLD can turn up some amazing people.
The last OLD bout I had, which was about 5 years ago, turned up some amazing people and stories as well.
The CFO of a Saks Fifth Avenue style shoe company - but he drank like 5 glasses of wine on the first date and got nixed.
The CEO of a company in the islands who used to fly here twice a week to take me out. He had said he is in the process of moving here. And he had a house on a Canadian island on the ocean that he took me to. He was the one who was impotent from prostate cancer and thought "it" would grow back. But he went back to an exgf. And then came back and I said no - it was all too much.
The really nice beer company marketing director who had an expense account and took me out all the time. He and I really clicked but then his exw wanted him back and he went for the sake of the kids. That was an emotional roller coaster!
Now you can see why I had to take a break and look for a while in real life back then. I had 4 years of real life and no real prospects. So now I can screen them better because I have better rules. And I have fewer expectations. And better pix
I think the best lesson I have learned is that you have to realize that many men get caught up in the moment and come on strong in the beginning and you may think that is the one. I think you have to keep it very casual and date as many as you can and see which one is into you and good for you after a few weeks or a month - don't make out too soon and don't go exclusive too soon. I am getting much better at that now. I am also getting much better at talking to all of them and being fun instead of interrogative or judgemental.
And I am having my fun with it. It is so much fun to come back here and report. And to know that you all understand my agony when I think I found a good one - like fireman or even the lifeguard on the first date - and then discover a big stumbling block as I have with them so far.
I posted a really funny comment to the lifeguard last night - I said that I have nicknamed him the Hugh Hefner of the beach after looking at his pix. That puts the whole topic up for thought and discussion but in a fun/funny way.
