Met a couple of Great Guys on CL!

I haven't posted for a couple of weeks because I've been so busy. I took the plunge and tried out Craig's List and I am so glad that I did. Thank you to everyone who gave me advice on how to use CL. I did get a few wierdo's and perverts, but for the most part several really decent guys. I've gone out with a few of them, and I've narrowed it down to 2 right now that seem to be really great. Much better matches for me than anything I had been finding on Match.com or yahoo so I've put those 2 profiles on hold for now.

Both of the guys I am seeing a little younger than me, well established in their carreers, own their own homes and seem ready for a long term releationship.

J. is 26 and owns his own company in the shipping industry and plans to retire when he is 40. I was pretty impressed with that. We have only gone on one date so far because he had some business travel for the last 2 weeks. But, he has called or emailed me about every 2 - 3 days since he left and wants to go out with me as soon as he is back this Thrusday. He was really sweet on our date and I had a blast with him. He took me too a really nice restaurant and then we went and listed to some live Jazz music. He seems to come from a good family background, I saw no red flags and he seems very interested in me. All good signs. I'm definitely planning on giving him a 2nd date to see where this could possibly go.

The 2nd guy C. is 27, lives a mile from my house and he is a mechanical engineer. We have gone out 4 times already in the last 2 weeks. I am really starting to like this guy and so far he is the best potential for a possible releationship. I have so much fun with him and he seems to want the same things as me as far as future goals/lifestyle. We have many similar intersts and lots of chemistry together. He always sets up another date before the date we are on is even over and he calls/emails me frequently. He asked me out for Thursday this week to see one of his favorite bands play at a local club. Some of his friends are going to be there. This is the first guy I've gone out with from online that wanted me to meet his friends.

I know it's still early in the dating stages for both of these 2, so I'm trying not to get overly excited just yet. But C. really seems like a good fit for me and I can't help but hope that things continue down the path we have already started. It's awesome that he lives so close to me, something I hadn't necissarily planed on but is a huge perk. Out of all the guys I've gone out with from OLD this is the first one that I've felt really was a great match. But, who knows, maybe J. will sweep me off my feet when he gets back this week :)

Right now I'm having a blast with my 2 new prospects! Just thought I'd give a little update and share in my happiness :) Good luck to everyone. Hopefully we will all find love this year!
