Okay - that bad girl Alison - my co-cl started all this crazy stuff about online dating. And for kicks, since Shrimps did suggest it, I went in and "unhid" my athletic profile on a fitness site.
I was equipped with one of those nausea bags in one hand and the pink medicine in the other just in case. Because as you have all seen me type over and over and over - OLD makes me very ill - something like motion sickness ;-) and that is because yours truly went absolutely ape poopoo the first 2 years after her divorce and dated way too many men on OLD. To the point where if I had an actual blind date I might be prone to a total shut down of the nervous system.
Okay.
So there is this really cute younger guy who emailed me. I had to pay to read his message. OMG - am I really that desperate that at the ripe old age of 45 I would PAY to read an email from a man? YES - why not!! You see, he was really cute and is the owner of one of the sport companies here that I participate in so there are obvious benefits and connections - even if we are just platonic about the whole thing.
I do love adventure.
He actually only sent one of those "profile interest" things which is sort of similar to a wink on match. I usually don't respond to those, but I liked this one.
So, I kept it short - sending back a message of the same length. The question was, "I liked your profile, what do you think of mine." So my response, "of course I like it, I have done your events!" (his picture was at a marathon I did this winter).
Then we bantered back and forth. And yesterday, buried in Alison's OLD post, is my haunt - do you think he is too young (he is 12 years younger) (Alison says of course not - that is what you need to keep up with you - thanks Alison!). And do you think he actually read my profile to see that I do indeed have a kid.
Yesterday I responded to one of his messages - we do have a lot to email about our sport - and made sure I told him I was looking forward to the Disney race because my son loves going there. Done - worked in gracefully to the conversation but as soon as possible as I always advise.
His note was a little short - in a previous one he had said he can't wait to speak with me and then that answer said he looks forward to meeting me one day. So, I thought, maybe he came to his senses and realized I am older and with a kid. I took it stride and sent back a short little response complimenting him on something I saw on his website. Left the ball in his court and the door open.
But today he has sent 2 messages. One is telling me he would love my opinion on stuff. And then another asking how my day is going.
Now he is going to see that I have read both (that dang fitness site shows if your message has been read by the other person). But I have not responded just yet. Am trying to figure out what to say - and had to give you all an update.
His screen name is after a pie. So that is why I am saying this pie is cooking crazy.
I guess with men you just never know. And now I don't know what to write!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks to whoever reads this blabber - I hope it makes sense. It is so much easier when I am calmly reading all of your notes!! LOL!!

I think Alison is right. Heck, M calls ME the energizer bunny and you make me look like a slug.
That BAD GIRL Alison!?!?
Yes - YOU - you bad girl!!
Okay - so I sent him a reply - my day is going just great and I am off to do a run. Thanks for asking!
I still have his other one to reply to - will do that in a bit.
First of all, I don't think you're 'desperate' to pay money to join.
