My weekend
14
Mon, 08-13-2007 - 10:36am

Well, my weekend was fun and productive but didn't really meet anyone. I went out on Friday and although I did flirt some. Didn't really meet anyone. Which is fine by me. Had fun with my girlfriend got some free drinks and had a nice time over all. I did have a message on the answering machine when I got home asking me out for Saturday but it is someone that I have absolutely no interest in. I did go out with him once last fall just to see and I was very uncomfortable. It doesn't seem to stop him from chasing even though I have been very clear I'm not interested. He is more than 20 years my senior and I just am not interested in him.

Saturday morning I registered one child for soccer, got an oil change, went home and did a little bit around the house then watched a movie. Got a call from a girlfriend and went to the mall, bought a great new dress and a couple of summer shirts on sale (probably will get plenty of use out of them this year since it won't cool off for another 2 months). Went home to change. Met another friend for a drink but was really tired and only had one. Then off to bed.

Sunday morning met another girlfriend for coffee, went grocery shopping, relaxed some then picked up the kids, made dinner, caught up on their weekend, showers, reading and bed.

That was my weekend. It really wasn't very exciting. My kids are with me next weekend and it will be much less exciting. Luckily it has cooled off so we will be able to get outside more. It was a chilly 92 yesterday (yippee)

I am wondering how you got those free drinks... Was that the result of your flirting assignment?

And how did you meet that guy you have no interest in?

>>It doesn't seem to stop him from chasing even though I have been very clear I'm not interested.<<

This comment is an example of my point that guys WILL chase when they are interested... Guys really don't need us girls being any more obvious than eye contact and a smile... In fact, I'm beginning to believe as women we have very little to do with whether a guy pursues or doesn't. Sure, every guy is different. But our main focus should be being happy with ourselves, get out there and be visible, let the men come to us...

Great Job, Priscilla, you got out there...

Free drinks are always a given. Some from guys I flirt with some who are interested in me and some from the bartender (it is always good to be friendly with the bartenders ;o)

The guy I have no interest in I have known for years. I have no idea how I met him to tell you the truth. The minute he found out that my x and I had separated he started asking me out. The first time he asked I just laughed. I couldn't believe he was serious. Finally last fall I said yes to dinner. I figured what's the harm, I could have a great time and decide that I want to spend time with him. It was kind of uncomfortable and there was just nothing there for me. He is attractive and really doesn't look as old as he is, it is just him that I'm not interested in. I ran into him a week or so ago so I guess that piqued his interest again and he thought he'd give it another shot. He just isn't for me. His age, his stage in life, just not where I am and I don't have any sort of romantic feelings for him and he isn't even a good friend just someone I know.

Does that help?

The thing is though, this man is a bit of a cad. I know what he is after. To him I am young, beautiful and would be a notch in his bedpost. He would take me out to nice dinners and such and I'm sure would be nice to me. He hasn't thought about me in months, I'm sure and if I hadn't run into him I doubt I would have heard anything from him.

I met a guy that pursued me some this past spring. I was cordial and kind of liked him but he was too busy. He called frequently and we had nice conversations but when I never would initiate contact, he got the message and moved on. I don't expect I will ever hear from him again.

Sounds like you had a nice relaxing weekend! It was 85 at the beach this weekend. Perfect weather.

Alright Priscilla, at least you had an offer for a date! And a nice weekend to boot. Don't worry - you WILL meet someone you want to date.

I think being dateless is like being pregnant - you think you will always be that way. The days are long but eventually you do move on to the next stage... and you will!!

Thanks Judy. I actually feel fine about it right now. I'm very busy with my kids activities this time of year. I don't really want to think about OLD and I feel like if I meet someone I do, if I don't, I don't. I'm happy with my life the way it is. It occasionally is weird for me when I end up as the only single with a bunch of couples but otherwise, things are really fine.

PS - Although I would sometimes I would like someone other than BOB to curl up with at night (lol)

Since you are a boy, flirting is buying a drink for a girl ;o). If you can find a girl to buy you a drink, the next on is on me....

Hmmm... a challenge huh? Since I don't go out to bars that will certainly be a challenge.

Now I have to practice batting my eyelashes $-)... Anytime you are out in Portland (Oregon that is), *I'll* buy you a drink Priscilla... in fact more than one :-P.
