I was looking forward to an exciting story here. Those men wind up on the Discovery Channel sometimes. Was he not one of the good ones?
He was nice enough but I could tell he wasn't feeling it. It was kinda strange. One minute I thought he was really into the conversation the next it was like he was going to fall asleep.

We also had some major internet issues (fire broke out in an area where our fiber optic line is and cut off everyone) so he couldn't even send me a rejection text or e-mail or phone. Ha! Whatever. He is one of those guys I would have to go out with more than once to even figure out if I would want something. Very handsome but no or only mixed chemistry.

I even made him cookies to make up for not being able to meet him the previous time he came into town. I felt like his appreciation of my gesture was eh as well. He ate some though, and he said they were good.

Oh, He was nice enough, just not "it".

My weekend was nice. I was off work on Friday so I did some laundry, did a little cleaning and then relaxed by the pool for a while. Later I went out to dinner to celebrate the 50th birthday of one of my best friends. There were 4 of us and we got to sit out on the patio which is very nice, especially since the weather decided to cool off! After work, my bf came over and we hung out until about 2:00 on Saturday afternoon.

After he left, I went up to the pool for a couple of hours and then met the same friend and her boyfriend for dinner at McCormick & Schmick's (seafood). We did a little browsing around the mall afterwards. Thankfully it was late and most stores were closed.

Sunday I took one of my nieces to the Cubs game. Unfortunately they couldn't hold on in the end, but they did have a nice 7 game winning streak this week, so I wasn't too unhappy.

My usual Monday night date is on hold with my bf's promotion. There are a lot of vacations at his place of business this week so he's putting in a lot of hours covering for others. Next week will be our turn to take a trip.

I had a fantastic weekend with my boyfriend. I can't explain it, but it makes me love him even more. Some weekends are like that, I can't stop gushing about how great he is, and sometimes it's just a normal nice weekend.

Friday, I got off work early to get my hair cut. I got a few inches cut off, so now it's shoulder length and feels pretty good. I love seeing my hairstylist, she started dating her boyfriend about a month or two before I started dating mine, and so we've kind of been updating each other on how things are going whenever I get my hair cut. That was fun. And I predicted correctly, my boyfriend did not say anything about my new haircut when I saw him on Saturday. Not until I mentioned it.

Saturday evening we went to a St. Paul Saints baseball game. My boyfriend wanted to see them play Winnipeg, so we could hear the Canadian national anthem and all. But I made us late, and so we had to pay to park by the stadium, rather than take a shuttle from free parking farther away. But he still got to hear O Canada as we were walking to the stadium.

At the game they were auctioning off game worn jerseys to benefit cancer research, and so my boyfriend and I each got one for $40, which was the minimum bid. He got the local team, the Saints, because it was green, his favorite color, and I got the out of town jersey of the opposing team, which was blue. After the game was over we went down on the field and got our jerseys which had been autographed, and then we were able to put them on and take our picture by home plate. It was so adorable, romantic and fun.

When my boyfriend and I first started dating, we watched the movie Only the Lonely, and John Candy's character takes his girlfriend for a picnic on a major league baseball field (I can't remember which one) and I said that looks like fun. My boyfriend did find out how much it cost to rent the Saints stadium, and even that was too expensive, but at least he tried. So Saturday night was as close as we were going to get to our version of Only the Lonely. It was so sweet.

Sunday then we went to our local amusement park, Valley Fair. They had both a water park, and a regular park, and Planet Snoopy for little kids. My boyfriend and I both love Snoopy & Charlie Brown and Planet Snoopy was why we went. We did the water park first, then spent most of our time in Planet Snoopy. We even went on one of those rides, and I realized as I get older, I can't stomach going on rides at all. Got an upset tummy, even on the kiddie ride. But it was still fun. Before we left we both got temporary airbrush tattoos on our ankles. Mine is the Chinese symbol for happiness. I got it with blue glitter. I chose it because it matched my mood that day. My boyfriend got a red baseball related tattoo. Mine is on the inside of my right ankle, his on the inside of his left ankle. My boyfriend asked if I wanted to make the theme park an annual visit, but it is not cheap, so I said no. Especially if I can't stomach the rides that much.

After coming home to walk the dog, we went out to Dairy Queen for dinner and blizzard treats, which was nice. I am excited that I don't have to wait until next Sunday to see my boyfriend again, as we are going to a MN Twins baseball game on Tuesday, vs. the Boston Red Sox. That's exciting.

I had a nice weekend even though it didn't go exactly as planned. My bf moved out of state 3 weeks ago and hadn't been home since. He had planned to leave by mid-afternoon Friday to get here, but wasn't able to get away from work until very late. He had thought he would be here by 8:00 or 9:00 on Friday, but it turned out he had to wait until Saturday morning to leave. He got here around 2:00 on Saturday and we had the rest of the day alone together since my kids were at their dad's. We did a little shopping, went to dinner, and saw "Friends With Benefits" on Saturday night. Then had breakfast and a little more time together on Sunday before he had to leave. The worst thing was that it was over way too soon, but he's trying to arrange to come back next weekend to go with my kids and me to the amusement park.

Off the grid means he lives unconnected to certain outside sources of power, water, etc.

OK, so it was close enough to the weekend (Tuesday). Had a second date. It was nice....but I wasn't as excited as our first date. While is a very nice man, I am just not feeling it. There are several reasons:
1) Age gap. He is 9 years older. It didn't seem so bad at first, but after our date yesterday it was more apparent.
2) Distance. Right now we are an hour apart, but in a few months I will be even further away.
3) Attraction. I hate to say it, but I am just not that attracted to him. We did kiss and it was OK. It wasn't bad, but it was a bit hard to get into.
4) Compatability. While we have the same values and outlooks on life, our personalities don't seem to go well together.

I feel terrible though because I know he is a good guy. I just don't think we are compatible. We don't have a third date set up as I am out of town next week. Not an exuse, I told him that before our first date that I was going to the beach.

I guess we shall see how it goes.

First, I'm new in here. I loved the answer you gave to Scully98's "a guy who won't finish.." topic but I suspect it was so that when he got home to his wife he'd be able to perform.

As for this dating a guy you're not really that into... it must have been tough to try a second date that's a very attractive quality. Compatibility one the first date could have been chalked up to nerves.

I just read a few of your "not feeling it after 3 dates..." First the way these chains are linked I may be missing pieces. It sounds like the guy doesn't date much and when he found a beautiful woman who gave him a 3rd date he probably felt a need to hold on to that possibility. He may be saying what he thinks he needs to say in order to keep you around.... social awkwardness. I used to have that.

I joined a few social groups and those bonds of friendship helped. I must say wow though. you where walking on eggshells in order to not hurt the guy. That shows that you have a very nice personality but he needs to be told the truth; even if it will hurt.

I noticed you're also in the topic D.C. metro area. Is that roughly where you're going to be moving to?
