Find a Conversation

Okay - you guys must be laughing at me. I was like little MsNone for almost all my time here. I have spent most of my time on this board in between OLD fests!! LOL!! Plus I spent way too much time with a crush that never materialized.
Anyway, I am now juggling a lot and think that is okay so I wanted to send an update on them. I feel that I should date as many as I can stand until I find one who shows interest and calls and wants to see me on a regular basis and who wants to go exclusive. I have found that you really can't tell that from one or two dates because everyone seems so excited on the first date and it takes time to see if they are worthy. I am by no means a serial dater - because if truth be told - I am really ready and willing to be in an exclusive relationship that just goes on and on. Don't want to rush down the aisle, though.
Golfer - WOW - he just wrote that he wants to meet for coffee tomorrow morning!! And he will call tonight. He lives close and we had a great conversation and a lot in common. Of course I will say yes! That means I have to get up early early to ride and look good. But the mileage on the bike will make my face glow and my nerves calm - hehehe.
Tennis coach - he was a pro player and we have a lot in common - he wrote to me so I wrote back - his profile says he is giving match a try because he has seen so many good outcomes among his friends and he is looking for something serious. I just liked everything I saw in his profile.
Swim coach - he called last night but DS and I were out on the beach. He will call again today. The only thing I don't like is that he is agnostic - but that warrants a conversation. Sometimes people check that when they don't go to church while others will actually argue with you over it. I would not choose the latter of course. He is a 5th grade teacher and loves kids and is a swim coach in the summer.
Busybody - this guy has a huge energy level and does a lot of fun things. He just wrote so I don't have a lot to report yet.
Lifeguard - I just sent a funny note to him regarding his last note about running faster than me - something to the effect of he might not beat me!! LOL!!
I can juggle a lot. Not a problem. I have never put this much effort into dating ever. I spent all of my 20s just working a zillion hours and having hookups and flings and friends with benefits. Of course we never had the internet back then (does that make me sound old or what?) or even any books to read about dating, sex, courtships, exclusivity or relationships. Boy did I have a lot to learn!! But now is me time and I really want to find someone nice for me. So I don't mind this effort.
We got the house cleaned up yesterday and the messmakers (dogs) are at the groomers getting shorter haircuts so they dry faster out of the pool and don't drag in as much dirt.

I have breakfast tomorrow with the golfer. The tennis coach just got nixed because he wants to go to a singles club for our first date. I just wrote him and said sorry I am not into that but good luck in your search.
I don't really have Saturday night open because I want to ride my bike early and hard on Sunday morning. Although I might make an exception for the golfer if breakfast goes well. Sunday is father's day so I am going to see my dad. So I guess that means I am full for this weekend!!
Swim coach is supposed to call today - so will see what he says. And the busybody guy just asked for an evening out too. I really prefer to keep the first date more casual and limited in time.
Okay.
It is a club with a sensual atmosphere. It is so inappropriate for a first date and the fact that he made fun of my choice to want to go to a simple place on the beach for a first meeting is just way over the top. I kicked him into the next universe.
I just met for lunch with the golfer - will post a new report in a minute.
Aha!
