Interesting Dates

I've been on quite a few one time coffee dates, several "ok, let's see where this goes" dates, and one or two long term (wow!! This is the one!  I just know it!) dates.  I've been on a date where I swear I didn't get a word in edgewise. There are a few "Mr. Knowitalls" out there......

If you've just been thrown out of the house 4 months ago by "your wife", I certainly don't want to go on anything more than one coffee date, and one is ONE too many. Only went that one time because someone wasn't truthful in his profile.

I will say that I have met some interesting people in the past.... last time I tried on line dating was about 7 years ago.

There are a lot of guys that I would have enjoyed being friends with from the past.  They were looking for someone that wasn't me and moved on after a few dates.  I want to get to know someone as a friend and get to know them before I get serious about a relationship.

Some that have never been married in their 40's just couldn't, or didn't want to give up the "single and dating a lot of women" status.  I've only been asked to be married ONE time!  That's another story in of itself.  If anyone ever finds my journals written during my separation, they would know the heartbreak I felt for years.

Many men are too self centered and want a woman that they can mold to fit their expectation.  I told one guy that if I change, I wouldn't be me any more.  Sure there are some things that can be changed, but both people have to be willing to make some changes.  If one is a planner and one is a spontaneous person, this is something that can be worked on together.  If one loads the dishwasher one way and another... OH WAIT!! Someone else loading the dishwasher! I don't care how it's loaded as long as someone else is doing it.  LOL

I have found that if a person lives too far away, there is no time for impromptu cups of coffee or walks in the park.  You have to plan ahead and work schedules make it difficult too.  I have found that if a person really is interested in you, and wants to spend time with you, they will fit you into their schedule.  I prefer to meet someone that lives relatively close by.


If I meet someone, I meet someone. If I don't, I'm content with my life.
