continues for those of us too lonely and determined to not spend the rest of our lives without someone special in it. But where in the world does someone meet someone decent in this day & age? It's difficult to say the least.
So as I lamented to a friend about this very thing, he suggested to me, "hey why don't you try one of those online dating sites and see what happens?" Online dating sites? Really? I mean, seriously? Well that didn't seem too ridiculous actually.
So I joined a few sites and boy oh boy it's been some adventure! I've actually met a few good people along the way. I've had a few nice dates, chatted with a few interesting fellows and dodged one heckuva nice looking crazy dude. Interesting!
It's been a unique and learning experience. There is one fellow that has piqued my interest I must say. He's strong and charming. Slick tongued is what I would call him..but in a respectful way. Knows what to say and when to say it. He practically ran me over with emails to talk with him...said he liked what he saw when he viewed "my profile" on the dating site, wanted to get to know me better. Begged for my phone number which I eventually relinquished to him. Then came the invites to meet face to face. Every single conversation we had ended w/this, "please come see me..I want to look into your eyes and see what's there." Oh please...I thought...lol..don't make me laugh. As it turns out, he had the last laugh. He's charming, witty, intelligent, sexy as all get out and is one tall glass of water! I resisted as long as I could but eventually gave in to his request to meet face to face. I'm glad that I did. He's truly a gem, not perfect, but human. He studies people and has a good awareness of what one thinks. We both want to take things slow as we've both had bad experiences in this journey into the dating world. He makes me laugh. He makes me think. He makes me want him to be in my presence. It's far too early to declare anything except that I enjoy his company and I believe he enjoys mine. There is definitely some kind of "spark" between us. Some kind of chemistry that we've yet to figure out. There are still lots of things to cover in this newly budding friendship. I only hope he will let me stick around for a little while longer. There's frustration to the hilt but there's also joy unspeakable when I see him sometimes. He wormed his way in to my little corner of the world. Now I've got to figure out where or what I should do with him. I believe just to let things happen would probably be the best thing. I don't want to push too hard for fear of him running into the night screaming bloody murder.
This dating stuff is just so complicated. Balancing acts...not too much...not too little. It can drive a gal crazy!
Let's see where Superman wants to go. (That's my nickname for him ...Superman..b/c he's the man of steel..impurvious to bullets, pain and he can leap tall buildings and short women in a single bound..hehehehe)...
