How was YOUR weekend?

Anyone have any dates to report?

~~~

No dates here, but a good weekend nonetheless

I had a good weekend, sent to sushi for lunch on Saturday with my ex-boyfriend (we are still good friends), then met a girlfriend for a mani-pedi, then did a little shopping (Ross - God I love that place), grabbed a quick dinner and headed over to a meetup event at a bar, which was good - bigger turnout than I expected and some cute guys to boot


Yesterday I rode my bike up and down the beach bike path for a couple of hours and stopped and had a super yummy lunch (surf and turf tacos, YUM!), then rode some more up and down the beach to work off lunch . I eventually rode home, showered and chilled out the rest of the afternoon / evening.

Overall a very good weekend.

~~~

How about yours?

I had a date last night. It was very nice first date. We went to PF Changs. Conversation went well, but he was a bit dry for me. By that I mean kind of bland. He listens to NPR and only really watches documentary type shows. That is all well and good, but doesn't mesh too well with my personality. He is very accomplished, only 26 with a PH.D and a nice guy all around. Just don't think we have much in common or much chemistry. He did not offer a "will call" or second date offer so he probably felt the same way. Still had a good time though.

Everyone hold your gasps of disbelief, but I had two dates in three days with the same guy!!!
He contacted me (from OkCupid) Tuesday evening, by Wednesday we had moved to phone, first date Thursday (wine bar and appetizers and strolling downtown, talking till 2 AM) and made plans then for a date on Saturday. Another 8 hour evening together, then made plans for tonight as well.
He's 53, Scottish, sounds like Craig Ferguson, an engineer, witty, articulate, sarcastic, better looking than I am, and dead sexy. I haven't been this excited about a guy in a long, long time.
Downside - I start a show tomorrow, three weeks of 12-14 hour days, 6 days a week, so I know better than to get my hopes up until we survive this hurdle.

Before we met I gave him the speech about my job and my hours, and told him that anyone who dates me has to want it badly, has to want to be with me more than they want to be with anyone else - anyone else whose schedule is less complicated and more accessible than mine, I mean.

About three hours into Date # 1 he said 'You are quite a salesman - remember what you told me about wanting to be with you way more than I want to be with anyone else? SOLD.'
Cross your fingers, ladies and gentlemen.

I had a nice date on Friday night. We're about an hour apart and met halfway. We have some things in common but a big difference is he's a hardcore city boy and I'm more country. I enjoy spending time in nature and he never has done this. I don't really think the chemistry is there but we enjoyed each other's company. Our conversation stalled at times and for some reason I was at a loss for words which rarely happens to me on a date.

Sunday I had a really nice date with someone who lives nearby to me. He seems very vibrant to me and I felt really good being around him. Our conversations were really enjoyable. We took a nice long walk, had coffee and walked again somewhere else. He asked me if I'd like to go out again and I said yes definitely. So we're supposed to go out this week sometime and he's planning it all. Funny thing is that he's the first guy I've gone out with where I feel okay with the fact that he's a divorced dad. Up until this point I felt uncomfortable with the other divorced dads I've met.

Saturday I had a tentative date but I had to leave the area he lives in (which I just happened to be visiting but is 1.5 hours from me) sooner than I thought so we couldn't meet after all. We did both end up texting for quite awhile Saturday and then talked on the phone Sunday night for awhile. Thing is even though he tells me he has a college degree in a tech field, he is the poorest speller I've ever run across. I know it's superficial but it's nagging at the back of my mind. We have a lot in common otherwise so I'm probably going to meet him if things don't take off with vibrant guy above. He feels less exciting to me than vibrant guy (above), but his lifestyle and background fits with mine and he's a very nice man.

Too funny! I think this shows how a bad match for one person could be good for another. I will admit to being bland and dorky so this guy would have been perfect for me. :-)
