I actually had a date this weekend - with a poofer who suddenly reappeared. Yeah, I was skeptical after he disappeared for a month, but curious enough to see what he was doing back. We had only had one date, back in June, then he kept in touch for a few weeks until he poofed in mid-July. OK, then....

But, he emailed me out of the blue last week, then showed back up chatting with me on Yahoo messenger (I had deleted him, but he apparently kept me in his list). I said that I was kind of surprised to hear from him, and he said "Don't be surprised, I like you". (Hmmm... Funny, I didn't really get that vibe when you poofed on me! )

Anyway, we made plans to go out again on Saturday. He made a reservation at a new restaurant, then after dinner, he suggested seeing a movie, so we went to see "My Idiot Brother" (such a bad movie! I can't remember the last time I saw a movie this bad. But, he said he really liked Paul Rudd, so that was his first choice).

After the movie, we sat and talked for while, then he just sort of said "Good night" and gave me a hug and that was it. Well... so much for giving poofers a second chance.

But... then he called later to say how he really liked hanging out with me, and hoped we could do it again. (Don't ask, I don't know what is going on with this guy either...) I said I did, too, and he said we would talk later. I had no idea if I would actually hear from him again, but then he texted me later that night to see how I made out with the storm. We texted a bit, and I asked if he wanted to go into the city this coming weekend (Labor Day weekend) but he said he was going out of town. I suggested a rain check and he said "You can hold me to that". Really, I am not "holding him" to anything, because he is sort of like nailing Jello to the wall, but he is cute, and interesting, so I say What the heck? I've got nothing much else going on at this point, datewise, so I'm just taking things one step at a time. If he calls me, he calls me. If we go out again, we go out again. If he poofs again... well, that's it then. I do have some standards!
Good for you! It's fabulous you are keeping an open mind... I do have to agree with your instinct though, if you are not getting that vibe... well, trust it... don't be surprised when he does the vanishing act again. Just have fun in the mean time!

It's been too long since our last recap and I also want to hear how everyone on the eastside fared this past weekend with Irene, so away we go!

Let us know what dates you've had recently, how they went and if you were in the affected area, please let us know how the hurricane impacted you (hopefully not very much!!!)

~~~

I'm preparing for an upcoming trip with the guy I'm seeing (our first...yikes!) and although I was free and clear from Irene this past weekend, lots of family and friends back in New York did endure the storm but fortunately no one was hurt and no major property damage was sustained by any of my peeps - so I am feeling very lucky indeed!

~~~

Let us know what's new with you!
Thank you for this post, Lori. So thoughtful and considerate of you! I have just friends on the East Coast and paws crossed that things will continue to be okay... and that FEMA will be able to get the necessary aids up to those in need!

Everything around our area was closed due to the state of emergency issued by the governor, so I just finished re-painting my master bath while Irene passed by. And watched some tube.

if he does call this will probably be the "theme" of the entire time that you date him. a statement like that would annoy the hell out of me to the point of where i would be totally turned off, but of course thats just me.

Yeah, that has sort of been the entire theme since I met him a few months ago. He is a musician, a real "artistic" type, and not someone I would usually date - way too flaky. I have never thought of him as "Mr. Long Term". But, like I said, he is interesting, and cute, and I have found so very few of those in my time with online dating. I have been driving myself crazy in being so focused on my goals the past few months that it is kind of refreshing to date someone just for fun for a while.

Yay for a double weekend and date recap. I've been waiting for one these days as I finally have something to post! A couple of weeks ago the guy I previously referred to as 'the intern' returned from his summer internship. We got together at my house, made dinner together and watched a movie. After spending the summer communicating by phone it was nice to finally get together in person. And we've gotten together a few times since.

Early on I had some concerns about exactly what he was looking for based on the way he answered some OkCupid questions, but I'm glad that rather than jumping to conclusions I took the time to get to know him and ask him about it because he's proved to be great. We're a good match in terms of hobbies, values, relationship attitudes, and life goals so I am happy about where things are going. We already had the bf/gf talk and have discussed a weekend away from October.

Lori - have fun on your get away with the new guy!

I just did my first one that was more than a couple of days and it was great. We went to DC and walked for 4 straight days and have the blisters to prove it, but had a blast. Fortunately we also made it before the earthquake and hurricane happened! Our next vacation will definitely be more relaxing and less sight seeing.

Last weekend I had my niece and nephew on Saturday so I was running around from 11 am until 10:30 pm when they went to bed. It was fun, but exhausting. We had lunch, played in the pool for a couple of hours, went bowling and then out for pizza. All was well until 3:15 when my nephew fell out of bed! He was fine ... thankfully!! Who knew a 10 year old could fall out of a queen size bed in which he was sleeping by himself!

This weekend is my birthday and it'll be interesting to see what I get from him. Honesly I'm just happy we'll be able to spend the evening together.

Yay! I've been waiting for this thread for a while. Let's see....last Saturday, I met my boyfriend's mom and step-dad for the first time. He does not like his mom because he claims he was verbally abused by her as a child. Yikes. I was preparing for the worst but hoping for the best. We went to breakfast at Perkins, and hung out for two hours. It was okay. I actually didn't think his mom was as bad as he made her out to be....but you can't really get to know someone in a short two hour period. But I did tell my boyfriend, I thought they were boring people. We just rehashed the same subjects over and over and over for two hours. My boyfriend said if we only see them once a year for breakfast, then he can manage for a couple of hours. I'm fine with that. I prefer his dad over his mom, that's for sure. At least we got that hurdle over with.

Sunday we went to a Twins baseball game, it was through the Twin Cities Iowa Club, the alumni association of the college he went to. That was fun.

Then we met up yesterday to go to the MN State Fair. I'm a huge fan, and go every year, and have a ton of things I like to see and do there. I told my boyfriend I might be a bit bossy and order him around, tell him what to do, and when to do it, and how to do it, etc. I wasn't as bad as I thought I might be. We got to see and do almost everything that both of us wanted to do. The MN Fair is known for things on a stick, so of course we had some of that, pork chop on a stick, and deep fried cookie dough on a stick, and corn dogs on a stick, etc. It was a great day......I stayed to see the Eric Church/Toby Keith concert at the fair, and my boyfriend left before that. It was a great show, but I am quite tired today. But it was so worth it. And it was so fun to see my boyfriend during the week, which we don't normally do.

Looking forward.....I am bringing my boyfriend to Florida to meet my family. We are leaving next week, and my boyfriend is staying Wed-Sun, and I am staying Wed-Wed. I can't wait! It'll be a lot of fun. We have a lot of things planned to do down there, so we definitely won't be bored. Our first flying trip together, our first time spending more than two nights in a row together. I'll see if I can check in from there, I am bringing my laptop to FL, but we'll see.
