Can you believe I got a note that says THAT in my inbox? LOL!!

Okay - we are writing and he asked for my number. Quick specs:

-49 so just 4 years older which is good I think
-not too far away - like 30 minutes and he comes out to my town on business
-single dad with one child who sometimes lives at home (divorced)
-is sales rep for local doctor who invented one of Time's Medical Inventions of the Year so loves his job - this is sort of a side step from what he did before in the medical industry
-good income
-plus has Xmas Decoration Design business on the side
-writes 2 notes - more on that below - but like how he is considerate - gets big bonus for that
-does cycling and wants a woman who does that and he likes the outdoors
-looks nice in his pic
-same religion
-writes that he wants long term in his profile

Yesterday he wrote that he liked my profile and that we have a lot of the same interests that he was hoping to find someone who rides a bike. So I said I liked his profile and wanted to learn more. And he writes back that he hates typing and texting and would love to speak more by phone. And last night I didn't write back because I was pooped from coaching cross country and trying to get to bed early - we ran hard for 30 minutes which doesn't sound like much but I was keeping up with the middle school boys and we were running in grass and over hills and got soaked in the rain. Also I swam hard for over an hour in the pool in the morning.

So I was going to write this morning and here is the note he sent which I liked a lot:

Sorry...that was a short note yesterday....a quick one....as well...but hope I didn't offend you about the phone thing....just feel we have things in common and would love to hear your voice when communicating....guess old fashion a little....LOL. Well....hope I do hear from you......have a great day.

So I gave him the digits girls. Now, as you know this is OLD and I am picky and you never know about the ghosting thing or the chemistry thing or any of that. So don't anyone dare get their hopes up. But I think it does sound encouraging so far. Will keep you all posted!!

Hi, Great. Finally you found some one who loves to bike. Definitely meet him. He seems nice. Even if there is no chemistry you could have him as a biking buddy.


waiting for updates..
