Wow!

My first date with J (from e-harmony) went really well. We had dinner and talked....for like 2 hours. We pretty much talked about everything. Work, kids (mine, she has none), relationships, divorces, etc.

After we decided to go see a movie tonight.

Yippee! This one is not a one-date-wonder!

Congrats, Brian,

What is it that you liked about her to say she is not a one-date wonder?

Keep us posted!

Glad you had such a great time!


Question for you. At what point in a dating relationship do YOU usually decide it's time to be exclusive in a relationship?


Asking because I am first of all you recently decided on a FWB situation and I wondered if you'd be continuing that (pretty early in a dating relationship to cut that off, if that's what you wanted) and second, at what point would you not continue the FWB if you keep dating this other gal?

"What is it that you liked about her to say she is not a one-date wonder?"

Well, she never once looked at her watch! LOL!!!! That is usually a good indication.

Also, I didn't get any of the "warning sign" comments....like...

"Oh, so you have your kids almost all the time?"

"You've only been divorced a month?" (Separated for 3 years....)

J really liked the fact that I take my kids out and do stuff with them....bowling, driving range, and that they are athletic and musically inclined.

I also think she liked the fact that I'm a total computer geek and can keep them running. LOL!

Over all, I thought we hit it off well.

On the classic, male side.....she's gorgeous....red hair, green eyes, nice curves.

I should temper my comments here with the knowledge that I put a lot of emotional stake in dating...according to a personality profile I took, I tend to invest a lot of emotional energy in the women that I date, even though I know that it is likely that I'll not get a meaningful relationship out of it. But it is just the way I do things.

You ladies sure are interested in my sex habits! Worse than most men I know.

ROFLOL!

Actually, I decided that the WB part of FWB would end on the second date. So, as of now, it's just F.

You weren't expecting *THAT* answer, were you?!?!?!

You know, I really WASN'T! But I guess that makes sense especially with regards to your admission that you put alot of emotional energy into your dating relationships. (My DH is the same way.)


I must say I am pleasantly surprised. And I think that's a good idea, considering you really enjoyed this woman's company. If she's worth a second date, then I guess it's worth waiting for the "WB" part with HER. ;)

It *is* what I expected from you :) You had said before that you just got the FWB ready to go and then *oh of course* you get a date (sarcastially), which indicated to me that the two were not compatible activites for you.

Any guess on how many replies you would have gotten if you *had* said that? LOL.
