Okay - here are the fishy stories for me - from eharmony of course. IRL is not doing so well although I have been out there. Went out with friends last night and it was the same story - much younger/much older - but I had fun with my friends and that is what counts!! Just finished 8 hours of exercise this weekend which also got me out of the house - not sure if I have the energy to go out and watch the SuperBowl with my friends. On a bright note, my long ride felt easy - so that means the IM training is working.

MtEverest - I like him but only time will tell if he will make the time and effort to want to see me and move it forward - so I am going to keep dating to see what else pops up - he was busy last week and took another trip this weekend that was planned with his son and mom and sisters.

MysteryMan - has all the same likes and dislikes as me but no picture and just started writing

PenPal - IT guy who has been writing a lot - the last note was good so we will see - he likes hiking and some of the same things.

Hoover - he seems a bit on the "I really want someone/anyone now" side - but he is supposed to call a bit later so maybe I am being too judgemental? It is just that his profile is so vanilla and his notes so trying to please instead of connect.

Okay- I deleted MysteryMan because he writes that he is from Europe and has been living all over the place and his visa runs out in 6 years - whatever - not stable enough for me. Don't like the visa part.

Hoover is deleted, too.

But there are a lot of new matches that I kept - so will see if they write and keep you posted.

I envy your ability to weed them out!

I definitely would have deleted the mystery man. Someone with no pic and a visa, you just never know.


Sounds like you have a few in the que, but not anyone your head over heels with. What is with the Mt. guy now? I mean, did he mention seeing you sometime during the week? How often are you both in contact? He seems to have quite a bit going on. Maybe it's just for the moment though.

Mystery man was looking for a green card?

Okay- MtEverest just called and talked for a half hour. We had such a good conversation about our weekends and he wants to get together again. I guess he was thinking about me on his trip.

That is wonderful--it is always nice to know that they are thinking about you, boosts your confidence a bit!
