Hey everyone,

How was your weekend?

Anyone have any big dates to report?

~~~

I had a very fun, long weekend, actually -- on Thursday night I saw the guy I've been seeing (it's been 6 weeks so far and things are going pretty well), then on Friday I took day off to work and a friend and I drove out to Las Vegas, where we met up with a bunch more friends to celebrate the 10 year wedding anniversary of one of my best friends. We did a lot of reminiscing, eating, a little bit of drinking and a *tiny* bit of gambling (I ended up breaking even on my gambling, which was great).

I was hoping to see the guy again last night but he ended up being busy at work and I was tired from the trip home, so...that worked out all right, though I would have liked to have seen him.

~~~

How about you, what did you do this weekend?

yippie... I get to actually report a date..


Okay I lied, since it wasn't really a date. became friends with a match who is brand spranking new to the area, so our first meet up was me putting together an entertainment center from ikea (skilled professional) We did meet up again on Saturday, I gave her a tour of the area and then we stopped off at a fair for lunch. Anyways I don't feel there will be anything romantic happening, but always good to make a new friend.

sounds like a fun weekend, Lori! congrats on things going good six weeks into dating the new dude. hope it continues a long, long time!

Trek, yes, new friends are always nice! glad you made one and had a good weekend.

my weekend was nice, albeit subdued, since I had my 2-1/2-year-old son on fri/sat/sun nights. did have lunch with a new guy on saturday afternoon, and he texted me afterward to say he had fun, but he didn't respond to a follow-up text I sent him yesterday, so maybe he's not interested. which is okay. I didn't feel sparks flying, either, but he was funny and nice so I was willing to try a second date.

I also went out with a new guy on thursday - he's 43, exactly 12 months older than me - and liked him on our date, and then he called me last night, and we talked for an hour, and I found myself liking him quite a bit more by the end of the conversation. we simply have so much in common. he shared more of his background and it was cool to find out that we had similar upbringings, and similar desires to do fun things we didn't get to as teenagers/young adults - whitewater rafting, skiing, etc - due to our family's less-than-flush financial situations when we were kids.

I was impressed when he also talked to me about how he was a lead singer for a local band, and then went back to college at age 30 to get his bachelor's degree in finance, then he went back a couple of years later for his MBA, and then decided to become a CPA and went back for more accounting classes and to get his CPA license after that, which is what he still does. he's obviously a very smart guy and I find intelligence so attractive.

plus, it doesn't hurt that he's already adorably cute - looks almost exactly like the actor christopher atkins when he was in his late 30's. very handsome with blonde hair and blue eyes and a fantastic, open smile. about 5'8" and in fantastic shape - he just did the PX90 workout, and he plays tennis in a league.

he asked me out tentatively for tomorrow night, if he can get his work done in time before a biz trip, but definitely for this weekend, with an art festival in town that we both want to attend.

I do have a few other first/second dates in the works, and I still would like to see the horse farm guy that I went out with twice last week again, but he's in florida on vacation and I haven't heard from him, so I'm not holding my breath.

Altho I am multi-dating at the moment, I don't plan on continuing to multi-date past the second or third date with anyone. My plan is that if I like them enough for a fourth date, then I like them enough to stop seeing anyone else.

MY TURN, MY TURN!


I had a date Friday night. I met the lady once before just to get to know her but didn't really look at that as a date. Her birthday was Friday night so she requested the day off work so we could go out together.

I started by taking her out to a nice mexican restaurant since we both enjoy mexican food. After that we went to a local street fair and walked around for a couple of hours. We really had a good time and really got to know each other a lot more. I had a great time and she seemed to as well.

My hopes are that we are able to see each other again and the relationship continues to grow.

Went on a fantastic hike with some people from an Outdoors Club that I recently joined. Took a lot of great pictures and video of the day, but my heels got destroyed in the process from my boots. Ah well, it happens.

Date, well, that's in the other thread that I have going right now.

Two first meets this weekend. Both flops. Trying to get back into optimistic headspace so I can start lining up the next round of candidates. *sigh*

I did get all my laundry done though. That hardly ever happens!

Met a 21-year-old on OkCupid. I don't usually date younger, but I thought I'd give the guy a chance. He invited me to come watch his band play at charity motorcycle rally & to bring friends, and afterwards we went to get a few beers with him and his band.

He was cute enough, but on the immature side. Also, I found out on the date that he'd just turned 21 a week ago, and had been getting drunk every night since. Sigh.

Oh, and did I mention his mom was there? Yes, the families of the band members were at the rally, and they came with us afterwards for drinks. Not quite sure why he thought this would be a good first meet, actually--I found it to be extremely awkward (as did my friend). Alas.


ETA: Oh, but other than that, my weekend was awesome! On Saturday, I went to a charity ice cream festival, followed by a cookout with some friends. My friend Andy & I went to meet the 21-year-old at his rally, then we left and went to hang out with some other friends. With those friends, we went out clubbing around 11pm, and then at 3am, went out and got breakfast at a really neat local diner. Lots of fun!

I fear my 5 month "relationship" with EH guy is coming to an end. We were supposed to meet up Saturday night after he got back from a business trip all of last week. Well, he didn't call me when he landed (as he said he would) and waited until 4 to return my call on Saturday only to say he'd been inputting fantasy football league information all day and was now just heading into work to catch up on things so he wouldn't have time to meet with me for dinner as planned. But he'd call Sunday to see if we could do something since he didn't plan to be there all day. 7:30 pm Sunday he calls to see how I am; oh, and he didn't end up going into work at all that day, just caught up with some friends.

I'm listening to my gut on this one and thinking yeah, he's just not into this and I'm going to cut my losses and start dating someone new. Sigh. I did like him but I've seen "us" becoming less of a priority in his life and that's not something I can be comfortable with for longer than I have been.

On the bright side, I spent all of dreary Sunday watching True Blood Season 2, so not a total loss.
