After several months of hit and miss in the man department I might actually have a date. Not a night time thing but an actual fact to face meeting. Let's see, what is going on. The young man (he can't be over 25) at the garage where I sometimes park has been after me to meet him for lunch. This week is out for me but I told him I would get up with him soon and meet him.
I also heard from a guy that had disappeared on me. I met him online (I was using YP) and we had tried to meet a couple of times but it never worked out. Then he just dropped off the face of the planet. I heard from him again. He has had a lot going on and would still like to meet. He explained what has been going on and I'm still game. If nothing else, it is a chance to make a new friend. We are supposed to meet for lunch on Saturday. He is supposed to call to set a time and place. I may shoot for a brunch since my kids are with their dad this weekend and I don't usually eat regularly when they are gone. I will probably be hungry by 11:00.
I also have been e-mail another guy from on line this week. I will see how that goes. At least it seems things are moving a bit now. Not really looking for Mr. Right just would like to meet some nice guy(s) to spend some time with.
I think you all are great and love the support.

Priscilla, take the parking garage man up on his offer! If nothing else, you'll be able to practice dating, which can be loads of fun. Just meet for coffee or at a little bagel shop or something- doesn't have to be anything extravagant. Have fun!
I also heard this week from a YP guy who simply disappeared on me. He left a voicemail, so I'll call him back tonight. Don't know what the story is, but we had planned a lunch date that we both had to cancel, and that was a long time ago. I got busy with other things, but in order to keep my focus from being so completel on Spec, I'm going to agree to meet him and anyone else who asks until I'm sure I want to be exclusive, and am more clear on our relationship.
I think you should plan to do the same thing- even if you don't think there will be a spark, you just never know. I've been working very hard on not trying to get to know someone too much over the phone, through email or IM, since if I feel like we really have a connection before we ever meet and the first couple of meetings are disappointing (or they disappear) I'm feeling even more let down.
I always keep it public, daylight, and casual, but I don't need to know their life stories before meeting them- I wouldn't know that much about someone I met at the grocery store. Just be open minded, and HAVE FUN!!

Thanks for the great response. I will meet the parking garage guy for lunch one day, maybe next week. He let me park for free today. He is way too young but very nice.
I have tentative lunch plans with the YP guy for Saturday. He is supposed to call to confirm and so we can pick a time and place. He is also a little young (6 years younger than me) and never married not kids. It should be interesting.
I'm up for anything as long as it is fun.

Just to say I hope you have fun on Saturday... younger men can be a lot of fun, not to mention those sizzling hot bodies ;o) !!!
Looking forward to hearing how it goes - enjoy!
