I Have a Date!

Well, I talked to the guy who messaged me on myspace. We have been emailing all week and I finally decided it was time to talk on the phone. He has a great voice and we laughed alot! We like alot of the same things and I felt very comfortable talking to him. He was respectful and funny.

We are going to meet as soon as I can squeeze it into my schedule. December is tough because of my daughter's birthday and all of the extra holiday events. Funny how I get off of the online dating sites, start concentrating on other things and somebody comes along that might be worth getting to know!

Was just thinking - it is best to squeeze sooner rather than later - even if you have to cut something short or juggle a smidge. It is always better to meet in person before you develop an extensive phone and email correspondence for a lot of reasons. a) You leave something left to be said for the first meeting. b) And you don't get up these vast hopes and then get let down or feel awkward when the other person looks different from their picture or really turns you off. c) And if it does indeed work you learn to correspond through traditional ways besides just online - amen to the phone and real dates!!

But I know that you are a working single mom and that it is a crazy time of year. Just had to add my .02 and maybe a bit of my type A nature!! LOL!! You know silly old me, I am always meddling in everyone's affairs because I want all of us to be happily matched.

Judy, feel free to "meddle" anytime you feel like it! LOL! I don't have my kids next Saturday or Sunday. He is off on Thursday, but I have to go to my daughter's orchestra concert. I agree about meeting soon and not building up this phone/email "relationship" that doesn't carry over into real life.
I am looking forward to meeting him, but I have had such bizarre dating experiences, I know better than to get my hopes up.
