She'll Chew you Up.....
So, going into Friday, I had no definite plans. I've been emailing with, Iming and talking on the phone with... let me count them... I guess about 6 different men (it's hard to keep track sometimes, since new ones are added almost daily, but don't necessarily count, as it never goes beyond one contact before I realize they're not for me.) P had made some noises about seeing me this weekend, but I just can't get up the energy to WANT to see him, as there's no chemistry. I promised myself I'd give it another shot, and I will, but I wanted this weekend for myself, and possibly to meet someone new face to face.
So, one of my pregnant girlfriends and I decided to go dancing, and she'd be my built in dd, if I wanted to drink. While we were driving to the bar with the band, a new-ish guy, B, who I'll get into more in a minute, called my cell. I told him my plans, and he said he'd like to come. He and a buddy of his did, about an hour or so after we got there, which was actually nice, since it's one of those bars I've been to a million times (they always have a band on weekends, and it reminds me of Cheers- Carla and all)
So, B, I met him online, but a little twist is that he works with an uncle of mine. Not too weird. Could even be a good thing, if I really wanted to find out more about him. He's closer to my age than P, has a young daughter, which is handy, and lives near me. We've been talking and/or IMing for about a week.
So- I had seen one grainy picture of him, and he had seen my profile picture. He wasn't as attractive as I had hoped, but again, I wasn't repulsed by him. His friend was actually more attractive than he was, and we had a better connection.
I think a big part of that is because there was no pressure on me to get along with his friend, so it was easier for me to talk to him. We played pool, had a few drinks, and left. At the end of the evening, the four of us all agreed it was nice to meet each other, and left. No physical contact.
I have spoken to him since, and the connection is still there, but I wish I had felt something more in person. I haven't made any plans to see him again, but I'm sure I will if we continue to talk to each other.
As far as the other guys go, maybe I'll make a list for you all. Or I'll just post details as I meet them if I do.

Did you mean a connection with his friend or with B? I am assuming B.
And yes, SO keep us posted Moody... I do this with guys too, as fast at they come along, one of us bails and they just aren't worth mentioning until something more happens, so I totally know what you mean!

Snow, I felt more at ease with B's friend... it was easy to talk to him since there was no pressure. However, when I spoke to B last night, all was well, and he said I received glowing comments from his friend. I responded that I didn't really care what his friend thought, (or him, for that matter- but I didn't tell him that).
I was happy to know that we could still converse as easily as before, since after the first meeting with P, things were a bit strained. There wasn't NO chemistry with B, we didn't really have a chance or not to see if there would be any. I will definitely see him again.
I'm also interested in meeting another OLD guy, the only catch is that he works with P. How weird is that? They work for a small school in the area, and the odds of that happening are pretty slim. It's strange too, since I met them on two different dating sites I'm signed up on.
Did I tell you ladies that P showed up at my work again? He could become a bit pushy, I think. He wasn't, and I wasn't worred, since it was a very brief, friendly visit, but I'm still not as into him as I would like to be. Too bad, since he's on paper perfect for me. If he had children, things might be different, but they aren't and he doesn't.
We'll see what happens with everyone, or no one. I'm having so much fun right now, with men and myself and my girl friends- this dating thing can be fun, but it's more about my life and how I'm feeling about me than dating, I guess.
