A little something about nothing

Dating Life

Last time I wrote I was all excited about my date I had with Mr. Cutie I met on Valentine's Day. Hmmm, not quite sure what happened there, but I never heard from him. I had sent the one text message on the following Tuesday, which he replied to and that was it. There was a large age difference, so I am not pushing that one...things happen for a reason so I'm leaving well enough alone!

However, that did make me anxious and eager to start dating again. So with many thoughts about it...for and against...I signed up for an online dating service. I will say it has been fun so far. Of course not all the guys I "wink" at respond...darn them ...but a percentage of them do and I do the same for the guys that "wink" at me.

So far I will say it is guys that are a little older that are interested, but I'm not putting my nose up to anyone based on age. I have one really cute, 40 (yes, 40 year old) that is showing interest. There is another 40 year old that is kind of cute, not someone I would typically stop in my tracks for; however, he is so stinkin' funny. We have been emailing pretty regularly...about every other day or so...for the last week and a half. I find myself looking forward to his emails. One guy was interested; however, when I told him I don't chat through IM at night (I didn't want him to know my address to keep bugging me if I didn't like him) he said he was giving up on email and told me to call him. I did, but within the first 2 minutes I lost interest. It was 8pm and when I called he was all tired sounding and let me go to make his lunch for the next day, which was going to take 30 minutes...big lunch I guess! He called back an hour later and I let it go to voice mail...I was into a show by that point! He apologized and said he was going to bed. I'm sorry, but if I said I was going to call and I did I would expect a little excitement or interest in his voice being it was our first conversation. Guess I'm a little high maintenance!

The funniest thing that has happened so far is a guy that "winked" at me the other day. I had originally tried this online dating very briefly about 3 years ago. At that time there was a guy I was talking to on the phone regularly, but something kept coming up so we couldn't meet...his issues, not mine. Then he just stopped calling/emailing. Well, he is the one that just "winked" at me. How funny is that?!

The creepiest thing that has happened so far is a guy that "winked" at me yesterday...he looks just like my dad...a few years younger, but still. I swear if I sent this picture to my friends or other family members they'd think it was my dad. I couldn't even bring myself to respond to him. I may be able to date someone that has my dad's personality, but he cannot look like him...that is way too disturbing!!!
