This dating thing is tricky!
I had an amazing dinner date with Matchman & our date did lead into a confusing/miscommunication night of fire, wine, cake and some serious kissy face. I left before it got out of hand and have learned a couple of things:
1. my rational thinking is stronger than my libdo
2. no more home based dates until I feel super comfortable- it can be dangerous and it gives the wrong impresion.
After our date, matchman called the next day to apologize somewhat - he first asked me to come over his place after work, so there was a small attempt again. (i said no) I haven't seen him since, but we have had some great conversations & cute texts. He has been very complimentary to me & attentive. We haven't gone a day without some form of communication.
After our date I was thinking that this person won't be "the one" & the jury is still out, but I like him so I don't want to judge too quickly. This COULD be just a miscommunication or a serious deal break...as he likes to get freaky with it. We shall see soon enough.
Meanwhile, last night was the infamous Speed Dating!!!
The age range was 35-55 & the group was definitely a bit older for me. I had fun & was in it to be charming to all the men I met. When you get there, the women get to pick where they would like to sit & each person is given a card with a picture on it. You are suppose to find your picture match & begin with that guy. I was talking to my "pic match" for 15 minutes before we started. He was nice but has 3 small kids (eek in a bad way) Plus he made a small sour face when I asked if he wanted more & said maybe. Yeah..maybe NOT.
Kind of cool knowing that I just went on 15 dates. Look at me - I'm a dating fiend! Out of the 15, I think I grooved with 3 people - there were some misfits, like the guy who said that his Mother made him sign up cuz he needs a girlfriend or the one with coke bottle glasses who looked like Dilbert & spoke like the guy from Office Space. (I want my stapler)
I have a mini-date with matchman tonight & I know more if he is still in the running - I have butterflys!
So exciting!!! I'm so proud of you for putting yourself out there, and more importantly for standing strong with your comfort level! You impress me every day and I'll never forget why you're such an amazing person and friend! I am hanging on your every word and can't wait to hear what happens next with these guys! So is there any part of you hoping matchman won't work so you can date speed dating guys?
