Okay - so I emailed the ff through his profile to say I did have fun with him and hope he is not mad for my phone message. Okay and so all 8 of the new pix were there - hahaha - what a devil. His note was sweet - he said he definitely had a good time with me this weekend and that we are just a little different, what can we do? And that sums it up. What a bummer.

Anyway, so the photographer and I had fun today - why can't it be so easy for me to dress up like that for a first date? We took jeans photos, bathing suit, shorts and a dress. All in the backyard in fun candid poses. Different shoes, jewelry and hairstyles. I felt like a model for a day.

And what a difference some good pix make!!!! My mailbox is swamped and I am having fun emailing all of them.

- SWAT team cop - okay and I know what you all say about those - but he is HOT HOT - although he lives too far away - but I am enjoying the attention. He is a triathlete, too and also a runner. I asked him what race he was doing and he said he is working on a test they have to do for the SWAT team - I asked him if I can try out for that!! See it is all about having fun.

- DRIVER- there is a cute single dad who is some kind of manager/executive for car servicing - which includes race cars. He sent a nice email and then when he saw the new pix he sent another and said he really hopes I email back. I said thanks and I hope you are having a good day. He had asked for my phone number so I sent the cell digits.

- SA - short for South African - he lives here and is a little short but has many of the same interests and I love the accent. So I sent him a note.

- MARBLES - he owns a marble company and is cute but he is in the late 40s and never married so I am not sure about that but I am emailing him.

- PIRATE - he is nice and that is his name - I just asked how he got that one. Wow - he just messaged back that his daughter made that costume for Halloween and he got a prize. He is not a fitness freak but nice nonetheless and looking for something longterm and he is into photography. Lives a little far away though.

Okay - so at least I am doing something besides being sad about my FF. I liked him but I know my decision was wise. My secretary just wrote to me and her mother married an alcoholic and she said it was pure hell and she has major issues that her mom would put her romance ahead of the children and to make them so miserable. I know I don't want to make myself miserable never mind my DS. I often wonder why there has to be drinkers in this world - it is so unfair to everyone who has to deal with them.

Holy potato, there's no moss growing on you!

I love, love, LOVE that you climbed right back on the dating horse, barely pausing to brush yourself off. Way to go!

Good luck with any and all of these new guys- and don't rule out the cop, just because some drink doesn't mean they all do. Don't rule out entire professions blindly, that would be selling yourself short.

You know what you're looking for and what you're not going to deal with, so as long as you keep these things in mind, you'll be fine, and probably have lots of fun!

Keep us posted, we're all looking forward to hearing how this pans out!

Moody, rooting for you

Thanks Moody. I figured I can sit here and be sad or I can be productive. Actually only the profile has been productive - the house is a mess, we ate leftovers for dinner and I have a trip to get ready for at the end of this already short week.

And yes, I will keep an open mind.

OH yes - and my friend liked that too, to send the note with all the photos attached.

So I will see what I "dredge" up! So far so good.

There is a German guy who is younger and we hit it off in a chat. I gave him my number, too.

Good morning!

My Monkey is a younger German guy so I can wholeheartedly recommend them! Most of the German people I have met through him are very sober, very gentlemanly and very nice. So I'm rooting for this one.

Just on a sidenote, it is cool that you stuck to what you wanted as far as fireman was concerned. Let's not label him an "alcoholic" though, just cos he likes a few drinks. That's not fair. I am glad that he took the news so well though; I was worried in case he would be upset or cross that you did not tell him in person.

Looking forward to hearing more of your date adventures :o)

That is most encouraging - will have to see if he calls!

We started off a little shaky on the POF thing - because he tried to send me a message and there was this other wierd guy doing that and somehow they both got shut off. He asked me if I was having a hard time making up my mind and I said no - my connection got mixed up.

So then he said he was in a chat - I said no problem - he came back and I was in a chat so I said wait a minute. And he waited.

Meanwhile the guy I was chatting with was really too short and when I asked him what he likes to do for fun he listed a few things and then said "the obvious with someone special" and I just didn't like that so I shut him off. It was like with his pic and too shortness he just needed one more reason for me to delete and that was it.

So then I started talking to the German guy. And all of a sudden we hit it off with places we had been in Switzerland and the school I went and one of my best teachers - the teacher worked with his dad.

I asked him what he was looking for and he said he wanted a person as pretty on the inside as the outside - that the inside mattered more - and he wants someone who is into fitness and who can cook and who is well travelled. And that could be me. His profile says "other" for relationships - so I am not sure what that means. He is in the process of moving here and will be here tomorrow.

One thing for sure - it is so encouraging having so many people to talk to - I am not putting my eggs in any one basket. If they call and want to pursue that is fine and if not that is fine - whatever.

I could be in a sort of a pickle. DS and I are leaving for our camping trip to the wild wild west on Friday morning. My helpers said they could help me with my online communications! But I think I am going to have to take the lap top to help them with business decisions and communications with my customers. I can always keep it in the car. So will see.

- SWAT team cop - history because he is too far away.

- DRIVER- will call today

- SA - short for South African - this one is out because he mentioned sex when I asked him what he does for fun in a chat. Done buster.

- MARBLES - will call today - still not sure because he seems to be in the 40+ and not married category

- PIRATE - not active enough, too far away - more than an hour and bad traffic to consider

- Germanguy - hot hot and we had a great chat last night - he has my digits

- Financeguy - will call today - we have emailed each other through match in the past and now - all of a sudden with my new pix he is real interested in chatting right away

Okay - that is it so far. I noticed that my former fireman was looking at my new profile. Read it and weep pal - drinking is not a problem for you as you said? Well, what is wrong with you when you would rather drink 24 beers in a day with friends when you have a hot babe like this at your side and you fall asleep at 8PM after she cooks for you. I don't want to lay next to someone and feel sad and alone. So now I am better with these pix and all of this attention. And I don't want him anymore after talking to the germanboy - he was so hot and was happy when we could talk about Switzerland!!

I am going to do my best to keep chatting and dating and chatting and dating and not go too serious too fast. But that is easier said than done when you like someone and they are serious, too. But that is dating, right? ;-)
