Been such a crazy few days for me that I totally forgot to post this - sorry folks!

So...what did YOU do this weekend?

Anyone got any dates to report?

~~~

I managed to squeeze a tiny little date into a weekend otherwise completely dominated with apartment hunting! eHarmony is moving offices next month and I decided that I'd rather get a change of scenery than take on a brutal commute.

Day one of apartment hunting was really rough - saw NOTHING good and got very disheartened. But the next day I stumbled on this jewel of a place and was lucky enough to get chosen from among a bunch of applicants to move in

I move later this month. I'm excited to be near (well...*kinda* near) the beach!

~~~

How about you, did you guys have a good weekend?

Yay for the new apartment, Lori!! That's so great - I'm glad you found a place you like so much! And very good news about your date too. Sounds like it was a good weekend!

My weekend was fantastic. I'm visiting notyet - I've been here for almost two weeks so far and will probably head back to Ottawa about the end of the month. On Saturday we (notyet, the kids, and I) drove along the Oregon Coast and ended up at Cannon Beach. We all went to church on Sunday, which was great, and then notyet and I went out and did a few errands, which was quite a lot of fun.

I just have to say that I am having the time of my life these days!

Congrats Lori...that is so exciting for you...

And Lindsey..since I have been away...I am thrilled to see you and Notyet in a relationship..that is is so wonderful!!

I have been dating a man I met in my neighborhood...I first met him when his dog was lost and I returned him...and then we kept 'bumping' into each other on our morning doggy walks...

Our first date back on Labor Day weekend was a wonderful motorcycle ride to get breakfast, then hike around for a bit..then more riding on back roads...(nice comfy BMW touring bike)...

So we have been having a fantastic time...taking things slow since it's the first 'real' dating we have both had since our divorces almost 5 years ago...so we are both getting used to.."ohh...I get to kiss this person??? yippee!"...LOL...

I have been luxuriating in the delicious excitement and butterflies of someone I find extremeley handsome, very caring, same sense of humor, wonderful complex conversations about everything from nuts to soup! I am one of those that sits and asks a thousand questions about IT security since I love to learn new things...

We have gone on more motorcycle rides on the mountain roads...lunches in small 'antique shop' type towns, walks with the pups in the mornings, and yes..even us old folks having fun with texting sweet nothings to say hi...haha...

He even cooked for myself and 12 others....(his sis who lives a few streets down, their kids and spouses/friends)..an incredible 4 course meal that we got to enjoy wearing jeans and relaxing outside! His family is a hoot and they were so welcoming to me!
He used to be a chef and now is an IT security guy....so since I can't boil and egg..this works out beautifully

I am a 'take it one day at a time' kind of gal..so who knows where it will go...but I can say I am having an amazing time each moment we spend together and haven't felt this cared for emotionally as well as feel like a teenager with the goosebumps when we hold hands/kiss!

As I posted on another thread...yes there are 'nice, kind, adventerous, 50yr old , Anderson Cooper gray haired, fantastic and involved father, and sexy as all get out, guys out there'...

I had a first meet up on Saturday and that was it. It was pleasant but there was no chemistry. I was willing to give it a second chance but obviosuly she thought otherwise.

I went to EPCOT on Saturday

I sort of started looking for a new house. Found several interesting prospects amongst the foreclosures. I think one must have been sold because it was not on the second list my Realtor sent me a day after he sent the first list

Took ya long enough!

I had a super-busy & exciting weekend. Had two dates on Thursday. The first was a lunch date with a guy I really liked, and we've been texting back and forth since then, and I'm really excited! The second didn't go so well--karaoke night with a younger guy & some friends of his. It was okay, but he came off as rather immature. But that's probably for the best, since I liked the first guy so much, anyway.

Then, on Friday, I drove over to Jonesboro and hung out with a guy I'd met on OKC before. He was turning 26, so we went out to a bar with a bunch of his friends to celebrate. It was fun, and I met a lot of cool new people.

On Saturday, I was in Memphis, hanging out with some friends of mine. We had a fun, low-key, steak cookout, and then a big group of us met for cocktails afterwards.

On Sunday, I went to a little Mexican place with some more friends in Memphis, and then headed home after lunch.

That's the most fun I've had in a single weekend in a long time!!

I had two dates last weekend with a guy I dated for nearly 2 years several years ago... the only one out of pretty much all the guys I've dated that I still respect and consider a friend.

First date was just to meet for drinks, and the other was for a charity fundraiser event. It was good to reconnect. We both "get" each other better than anyone else the other has dated. But there were reasons we stopped dating, so we're kind of exploring this slowly... catching up but also talking about where we're at and what we want, and how that fits with each other.

No predictions from me as to where this will go, but if nothing else it feels good to make this connection again.

I also had a lunch date on Friday with a guy who is only separated. He's a great-sounding guy, works in my building, lives not too far from me, and if he were actually divorced I would have been a lot more excited about the prospect of dating him. I told him from the start we are in different life stages, but I know as a recently separated guy he probably could use some single friends to hang out with, and I can help with that.

Other than that I lived vicariously through my daughter who went to her school's Homecoming dance. She looked beautiful in her dress, and I took her to get her hair done special. I had as much fun preparing for the dance as she did as I never went to any of my high school's dances. And my son was home from college and it was good to have him around... I kinda miss him in this half-empty nest. Oh, and I attended a "Mystic Fest" which I enjoy going to each year. The fall weather is beautiful, and life is good here!

Troy's grandma passed away so we went up for the funeral. Its all good, found out that Troy and I view death in much the same manner, a life to be celebrated.

He took me four wheeling on his cousin's farm where he hunts. I got dumped into the creek while he was shifting gears....badly. Could not stop laughing at myself.

Delivered the gnome to his friends house.

Got home to go bike riding Sunday. My backside is a bit sore. Troy reminded me I turned down his offer to buy a cushy gel seat, something about being girly....love that guy.

I had an unusual first meet-up.

A match from literally 2 months ago had been visiting & re-visiting my profile. I finally decided what the hey, I'll write him & see what's up!

To my astonishment, he wrote right back! He didn't really make any particular comment, kind of a 25-words-or-less e-mail, but suggested we get together on Sunday for a coffee. So, in the spirit of adventure, I agreed.

It was very odd... I had been expecting that his repeat views meant, well, that he was interested! But in fact he seemed quite disconnected from the whole eH process. He didn't seem to know any of the content of my profile, or really how the system worked. (He didn't out and out say that he's a non paying member but I gather that's the case, so I suppose he sees less on the site than paying members do.)

Anyway -- I'm glad I took the risk.

It satisfied my curiosity -- but made me decide that if I have another "lurker" I'm probably just as well off not pursing him.

In other news, this coming weekend is shaping up to be a biggie -- probably first meetings on Sat + Sun + Mon, 3 different guys! (Long weekend here in the great white north.)

Fun times!
