Pretty good weekend

Although I still have my doubts about men in general since they always seem interested and then dissappear, I have met yet another one. I actually met him when I was taking my car to get my brakes fixed. He stopped to talk to me and asked if I'd like to have dinner. I had my kids and no makeup on. I was shocked and tried to just blow him off. He asked for my number and said he would like to take me to dinner. I thought, why not? So I gave it to him and he callled. We talked some. He said he will call me to set something up for the weekend.

I also got a note from someone on YP that seems interesting. I cancelled my subscription after 3 months and no dates, but left my profile up. I sent him one of the auto replies and hopefully he'll send me an e-mail address where I can send him a note. I set one up for this purpose. Although I have e-mailed about a dozen guys back and forth with none of them even asking to meet. I quit replying after 10 days. That is enough to atleast say "lets get some coffee".

So we shall see if anyone follows through.

Constantly frustrated by strange men.

I love the random meeting stories- things like that are great!

I also know how you feel about men who seem really into you and then disappear (boy, do I!!) but don't give up on men. It only takes one, so be patient, get out there, and know that eventually, the right one will be there.

All of this "practice" with the wrong men will ensure that you can recognize the right one when he does show up.

Enjoy yourself, hopefully you'll be getting sunshine today as we are!

Thanks, Moody. I just hope I meet one good enough to have for a date at the end of the year. I turn 40 at the end of December and would just like to have a fun date for my the big bash my friends will be throwing. (they have already given me fair warning, talk about advance planning) I am such a great catch you would think they would be lined up at the door (although they seem to line up they all get out of line when they get to the front ;o)

How are things with you and your new man?

Humble advice... Take that pressure off, girl! You don't have to have a date for your 40th bash... And it is also a bit early to be worried about it. Have fun along the way!!! Overall, you are doing great jumping back into this dating thing. Keep it up!

Luv ya,

Do not worry at ALL about having a date in months! I have had some of the best times going to parties stag- especially if they were in my honor or I was hosting them. It completely takes the pressure off me to be a good "date", and instead I can have fun. Either way, thinking that far ahead is not going to get you anywhere.

Things with me and funnyguy are going swimmingly. I'll post seperately about him, but all is well.

Moody, happy alone and with someone
