Influx

Seems that the action just may be heating up around here.

The man who can't commit but who likes me is still around and we still get together now and then. In fact, we played pool again last night... and again, he trashed me! Admittedly, I suck at playing pool... and while he says he's no better, I must beg to differ... but we had a blast, so who cares! There was a few good shots, lots of laughter and some seriously funny bantering back and forth about sticks and balls...

There are two others in the wings now. Have not met either face to face yet. Have not actually spoken to either yet, but that will change tonight with one.

Guy A is 50, lives on his own and gets his 11 year old son every other weekend. He's an IT guy (did you know online dating sites are crawling with these guys?? go figure...) at a university and our emails have been very interesting. I'm looking forward to actually talking to this one. We seem to have a lot of basic personal thoughts and beliefs in common...

Guy B is 51, has two sons aged 10 and 14 (or close to that) who live with him and go to the ex Wednesdays and every other weekend. He's an account manager with a national firm. We've emailed and also chatted a bit online. Seems like a nice guy.

All three of them seem like nice guys. Well, I know Mr. Noncommittal is a nice guy... I've known him for two months now. The other two... well, time will tell. I know how long B has been on his own, but not A. I'm going to be asking him that this evening when we chat, because it's become painfully obvious to me that that is extremely important in how 'available' a guy really is.

So maybe there will be some development of something in the not too distant future? Hard to tell. I've done this so many times that I just can't get my hopes up. I have learned to just let things flow and see where they migrate.

    Hey mate, I think you are supposed to let her win a game occasionally. Just saying.

  3. Map: Younger seems to work much better for me than a bit older... so I'll stick with it! ;-)

    XL: To be honest, he did actually try to do that in our last game... but he still won. Although I had a better start than he did...

  4. Have a good time and enjoy yourself. What happens, happens. At least you can rest easy knowing you went out there and found out for yourself instead of wasting time and energy wondering about what ifs. Life's too short. Live it to the fullest.

  10. Hope: Thanks! Will be meeting Guy A tomorrow afternoon, and talking to Guy B on the phone tonight. Be interesting to see how both of those go. I've not had several to meet at one time before. A bit nerve wracking but I think I'm keeping cool... =0

  13. How in the name of all things bird-like did a sparrow get in your clothes dryer?

    ReplyDelete
  14. Charlie: The outside vent didn't have a screen on it... the little thing somehow managed to get between the louvres and I guess it fell down the vent pipe and into the dryer! I'm sure it was more surprised than I was. ;-)

  15. Ask each of these guys how they would get a sparrow out of the dryer before you commit to a 2nd date... :)
