Hi all,

I called Mr Seafood back but we did not go out... my choice. I had a great weekend at Karaoke friday night and then Lasertag with the kids on Saturday. I checked my email saturday night and saw that mr Seafood emailed me about wanting to meet for something like Starbucks.... I had way too much going on but I did call him on Sunday afternoon... briefly.

The big no no - he complained about his ex. I can't believe it. We were only on the phone for less than 20 minutes and he was already talking about the ex. I told him up front about my leariness to online dating... that the last guy i met decided after 10 minutes that there was no chemistry and left. Which was fine but I said, the fact that i took the time to get out (and get a sitter), i would expect someone to make the most of the situation. He said he wasn't like that.... I didn't feel like we totally hit it off in one conversation but I think it's worth a meeting...

I didn't realize til I got to work that he emailed me later sunday afternoon wanting to get together last night. I'm not feeling excited about meeting him.... but I'll keep you posted.

As for karaoke Friday night.... had fun as usually... here's the new rumor about the bartender.... the waitress told us that he's been sleeping with anyone he can get his hands on.... What?! Is that true??? What a turn-off if it is.... But he is cute... I mean movie star cute.... I suppose I'm not surprised that all the women are giving him their number, etc. I guess I would have had some respect for him if he was at least picky about who he slept with....oh well.

My best time this weekend was Lasertag with the kids. It was expensive but those are the memories that will last a lifetime. Everyone wants to go back....

Well, I think I definitely would be hesitant too.

I don't like the X's being put down and I don't like talking too much about my past. That conversation did come up last night and I felt a little awkward telling him. Mainly because he asked me when it was the last time I was exclusive with anyone. I said 3 weeks and he just STARED shocked. LOL. I had to let him know that it is definitely over and their is no going back. He said that most couples break up once and then get back together eventually. I said, NO, that wouldn't be me. So I had to explain the break up a bit, but I couldn't WAIT to get off the subject, because I just don't think those are conversations we need to have right away. It's a nice to know why they broke up, but I don't really want the detail. YA know?

Anyway, I say, if it doesn't cost you anything, go out with the guy. If it does and you aren't even excited about it, then maybe you should just hold off awhile, get to know him a little more first, before having the expense of a sitter. Just my thoughts.
