Well, I posted an ad on CL & amongst all the freaks & jerks who responded (including someone who ranted about my ad in the Rant & Rave section) I think I found someone with potential. It's been years since someone has captivated me with his emails. Granted, there's a good chance it won't translate to real life, but I have to see this through.

His name is Trever, he's 34, never married, VERY attractive, works as a contractor, even works out at the same gym as me (but goes in the evening, when I do early afternoon). He knows about my weight loss history & goals, has seen my picture, & is still interested. He said he's love to meet, but will wait until I'm ready because he doesn't want to rush anything.

So far, so good. Of course, I won't wait too much longer to meet him. This weekend is busy with work, so maybe next weekend I'll arrange a meet.

Oh my...I just had a homeless man respond to my CL ad! ACK! LOL!

Cool! I hope you get to meet him soon and that he turns out to be a good guy.

I had a guy respond to my CL ad asking if I'd send him $$$, so I can relate to the "ack!" feeling about the homeless guy!

The funny thing is that some guy is reaming me about my ad in the Rants & Raves. LOL! I must have told him thanks but no thanks or something. It's amazing to me that this is the same guy who was complaining a few weeks ago that all the women on CL were either fake, spam, fat or stupid. Now, he admits it's the best written one he's ever seen, but he's ripping it apart. LOL! What a winner.

Hey, you have one of those too?! He posted on my local one today.


I am beginning to love CL. If you wade through all the idiots, there are some really great guys lurking around. One called me tonight. :-) Hope everything goes well with yours!

Hmmm...where exactly does a homeless man get regular access to the internet, and why is dating that important to someone who doesn't have a roof over his head?? And what the heck do you say in your profile when you're homeless, anyway???

Well, things were great with the emails with T, the guy who interests me from CL. We would go alternate days trading emails. Me one day, he'd come back the next. Well, I sent an email on Saturday, then nothing.

Well, Tuesday I sent a short note asking how his weekend was since I hadn't heard from him. He emailed back saying he thought I was put off by something he said in his email he sent on Sunday. Well, I never received that email, so I replied back saying so & if he'd resend it. Well, I haven't heard anything again since then Tuesday night.

I know that things get busy & 2 days isn't a big deal. Still, I've been ghosted on too many times to not be a little cautious now thinking he may be ghosting. However, even I know it's hard to keep the every other day emailing going, so realistically I know he may not be.

Just a vent. Hopefully I'll hear from him before the weekend. Last Friday he mentioned he wanted to call and/or meet in person.
