WithLove Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 So I've made the venture into OLD! I'm only going with a free one currently, because I don't really want to meet anyone right away and would rather email for awhile to get to know them. Link to comment

WithLove Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 Anyway........ G is a guy I've been talking to since last week. We have a lot in common, but after Wednesday, I didn't hear from him, so I assumed he lost interest. Until today, he messaged me telling me that he saw I'd been active on the site and was hurt that I hadn't messaged him, and thought it meant I was the one that lost interest. What??? Guy has been the one I've been most interested in so far. He grew up in my neighborhood, likes the same music and movies as me, and has the same sense of humor. A weird double-standard that I'm having, though, is that I sense he's got a warped sexual sense of humor, which is identical to mine, except I feel like it should be a red flag on the guy. I like him though and he was fine with just talking until I'm comfortable, and so far he is the only one I've given my number to. Jose is a very attractive Hispanic man that shares of a lot of my interests. I've only been talking to him since today, but he's putting himself above others pretty quickly. He is disabled with a very bad back from a vehicle accident, but his words are very nice. John is a guy that I thought was adorable and messaged first. He messaged back right away, explaining that he is concentrating on himself right now and forgot to hide his profile, and didn't want to string me along with endless emails. Darn! Link to comment

WithLove Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 I haven't met any of them yet. Link to comment
WithLove Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 I have a new crush. William. His love of all things nerdy is quickly propelling him to the top of my list. I've been speaking to him for about 3 days now. I just gave him my number so we can text. Link to comment
WithLove Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 Oh William, if you're careful, I might start to really like you. Link to comment
WithLove Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 He's wonderfully honest, funny, and has weird quirks (like buying Egyptian cotton pillowcases to try them first before committing to a full set) that I find delightful. I've laughed out loud a couple times today at his silliness. We're remarkably similar. Hope this pattern continues with this one! Link to comment

D I noticed your title so I thought I would point it out to you. I think you might have to message a Moderator directly. Link to comment
Ms Darcy Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Oh William, if you're careful, I might start to really like you. Wait, have you met him? I might not be cut out for these online dating threads lol. Link to comment
WithLove Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 Wait, have you met him? I might not be cut out for these online dating threads lol. Not yet, but he asked me out on a date. We made tentative plans for next weekend. Link to comment
WithLove Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 I told Guy that I didn't think we were suited. I only heard from him "when he was in bed". I'm not interested in that. Link to comment
WithLove Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 So far, the only two guys I'm in contact with are William and G. Guess I'm a little picky? Link to comment
WithLove Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 Okay, first meet up with William is set up for Monday. He picked the day, I picked the meeting place. We're going to a locally owned frozen yogurt shop. You pick your own flavor and use your own toppings. Best part is that they have a definite early closing time, so if it ends up going badly, at least we don't have to be there long. And if it goes well, then he originally picked next weekend as the meet up date, so we could use that as a first date. Link to comment
happpybear Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Nice! hope it goes well! Link to comment
reinventmyself Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Oh yay. . Get back on that horse. . lol Link to comment
WithLove Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 We spoke on the phone for the first time a couple minutes ago. I got a hot flash! He sounds very nice. Nice voice. I am admitting that I'm probably starved for male attention right now, though, so I'm taking it with a grain of salt. Lol Link to comment

WithLove Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 I keep getting "Are you sure it's not Monday night yet?" Makes me feel good. Link to comment
WithLove Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 I'm not sure what the protocol is for asking someone's last name before meeting. Link to comment
WithLove Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 Im here at the ice cream place.... No sign of him yet.... Maybe he's sitting in his car waiting, just like I am..... I'm going to wait until 7:10... If there's no sign of him or I don't get any message, I'm ducking out. Link to comment
WithLove Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 Turns out he was indeed waiting in his car for a few min - 2 cars over from me! He got out first and I watched him walk up to the entrance. His pictures did not do him justice - although even then, I don't think I'm that attracted to him physically. He paid for my ice cream, we walked around the plaza for about an hour, then he suggested going to shoot pool (which he knew that I loved to do). So we spent another 2 hours doing that before I called it an evening. He dropped me back off at my truck and we went our ways. During our plaza walk, he kept bumping into me and getting closer to me. He reached for my hand by the second time around. During pool, we made a bet that the winner received a kiss. He's very affectionate, and we had great chemistry through messaging prior to this meeting, so I was okay with all the affection. We kissed again when he dropped me off and sort of accidently made out for a couple of minutes. Then I left. It's strange. I logically know that he's a good guy. He's a little older than I am (he's 33, I'm 25), has no ex or baby momma drama, is looking to buy his first home, has his own car and job..... but I don't know if I'm feeling it. I realized last night, after the date, that I've never really been on dates before - all 3 of my boyfriends had mutually decided with me that we would be exclusive. So I am not used to seeing someone so.... safe? Settled? (Boring?) He's a decent kisser, has good teeth, no bad breath.... but I just didn't feel a spark. I kept waiting for the intensity to build, but it just.... didn't. But we had discussed boundaries on this visit and he told me he's respecting my limits, so maybe he was holding back for my benefit? (I had told him I was okay with kissing.) The jury is still out with William. I do like him, on paper he's a great guy - but I'm still very unsure about him. I think I'm going to go out with him again to see if something changes. Link to comment
