This is a first for me... lol...


so last night, i convinced the babysitter to give me a couple hours after work to wind down at my neighborhood bar. yay, it was great getting out. (i know i know.. the bar scene) It was a fairly quiet night and i was just chilling, when i saw a familiar face. So since I was out to be social, i went over to talk to him.


Turns out he's a fulltime single dad, 38 yrs old, two daughters (8 and 10). And he's a Chef, so his nickname will be Chef. He was quite good looking for an older fellow. We had a really fun time chatting \ flirting. We ended up exchanging phone numbers and i got a text greeting today.


side note: i also heard from MM today via text.


Anyway, at least Chef understands singleparenthood and getting a sitter, etc. And it was refreshing to chat with someone who was not afraid to show me that he was "into" me.

was that an "AND?!" like "who cares" or an "AND" as in you want more details?


okay, so more details. he just asked how my week was going... it was a short exchange. But remember i'm backing off so i kept it short... at least he didn't just ghost on me.

Um... he's only 2 yrs older than you...

LOL!

I'm curious to know how you knew he was "into" you... what did he do/ say?

I am new to this board, refresh memory, how old are your kids? In regards to the babysitting issue, are your kids too young to babysit?

Loony has five ranging from teen to four... the older two live with their dad, so no- the "oldest" there isn't old enough to babysit.
