Miscellaneous Thoughts

A funny thing happened the other night........

I had made contact with someone on one of the dating websites.  He seemed nice looking and interesting and even better, he lived in my town.  It took a few days for him to answer back.  I was amazed at what he wrote............

Apparently, he was the ex-husband of my good friend that lives here in my complex.  He said his son had figured out who I was and he thought it best that we didn't get into anything further.  I thought that this was hilarious and proceeded to write back totally agreeing with him.  I told my friend and she just laughed and laughed.  Talk about coincidences!

On another note, are most of these guys on these dating sites liars or oblivious to life?  They send a flirt or even a message, I write back and then I NEVER HEAR FROM THEM AGAIN!
Is it 'cold feet', lack of interest, laziness or just plain oblivion?  

I'm really thinking that these sites post a bunch of losers.  Debate with me if I'm wrong!

Neighbors

He lives in the same town; we contacted each other last March;  he e-mailed again last week.  Amazing.....we 're-connected'.  

We met for coffee on Monday night and he was fun to be with.  Smart, sexy and was a good story teller.  A former Internal Affairs officer, I felt very safe with him.  

We now e-mail (and text) every day and our next plan is for dinner on Friday night.  We'll see..........

Is it fate that we re-connected again?  Makes one wonder.........

Neither Here Nor There

I made 'friends' with a man through one of the dating websites.  We even 'friended' each other on Face Book and even 'Skyped' one another this past Saturday.  We shared a 48 minute telephone call the night before.  He seemed like a nice guy too and looked pretty good as well.  So now it's like he's jumped off the face of the earth.  No movement on Face Book, no e-mails.  What gives?

What is it with these guys?  Do they need a firecracker under their butts to wake them up?  It's like they give you a tease, and then nothing.  I just don't understand it.

Maybe it's me.  In this world of IM's, e-mails, Skype, chat rooms and the old-fashioned telephone, there is no reason for someone not to keep in touch with someone......unless one find the other totally repulsive or one works 24 hours a day! 

I just thought I'd put that out there....makes one think doesn't it?

No Fireworks, No Sparks, No Nothing

I went on a dinner date with a new guy last night.  He wrote intelligent e-mails and his voice sounded good on the phone.  However.......it was one big DUD!

There was absolutely no chemistry whatsoever.  Another one of these guys talking about himself also.  He made no mention of how I looked (is that too vain of me) and hardly smiled.  We had two glasses of red wine and he swished the glass about 9 times and smelled it about 6!  Maybe he was nervous....okay, I'll give him that much.

However, I do want to thank him for the dinner.  But what do I say in the e-mail?  I met someone (sure overnight, I met someone); I really am gay; I'm moving to Sydney, Australia.......Well, I guess the words will come pouring out of me when I finally sit down to write it.  Any ideas??

Sometimes I think all of this is one big pain in the _ _t t!!!!

Casinos and Newbies

My casino trip turned out fine.  We had a good time, I won a little money and it was a nice day.  He came back for a quick bite of leftovers, then left at 7:45.  It was nice and we remain friends.  He's coming over tomorrow night to take some new pictures of me to post on the dating websites.  We'll call out for some Thai.  Hmmmm.....I never had a man friend before.  Interesting......

On another note, have corresponded with someone who is a 94% match!  He seems nice and likes to cook!  So we'll see where this goes.....

In the meantime, no crazies this week, thank goodness!

Will promise to keep you informed of the newbie in town.........

Seriously........

Are these guys for real?  I swear, I can't make this stuff up.......

The latest communication I have gotten from three separate guys were ridiculous I didn't know whether to laugh out loud or shake my head in disbelief.

Guy #1:  He 'flirted' twice.  Two thumbs down:  he looks like he's 300 lbs. and he's from New Haven, CT.  Do these guys read profiles?  Clearly there is major mileage from the East Coast to the West Coast!

Guy #2:  Another mileage issue:  someone flirted from Hawaii!  I mean the Pacific Ocean is between us. Duh!

Guy #3:  ........and I saved the best for the last........
Here's a guy who 'flirted' with his white bath robe on, sitting on a hospital bed and said he had no money but was looking for the 'right' woman.  ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

Seriously, I'm not making this stuff up!

On to the casino on Friday with Mr. EX.  We should have fun......friends usually do.

Casino Talk

Sorry I haven't posted in a while.  Not much going on this past week.  Big weekend though:  my grandson's 8th birthday!  So exciting!  He's so handsome and smart too!

Lately I have gotten some strange IM's from fellows I had corresponded with.  Some of these people cannot write or even speak English!  I can tell from the way a person writes/speaks how intelligent they are too; and lately they all sound like idiots. One guy even wanted me to move to Ohio with him!  Are you kidding me?  My life is here in Southern California with my family.  Unbelievable!  It's true.....you can't make this stuff up!

On another note (see title of this Blog), Mr. Ex e-mailed and we're going to a casino on Friday in pretty Santa Barbara County.  He promised to take me to a lavish lunch so I'm going.....hey, might as well enjoy it while you can, right?  At any rate, I'll probably be home by 6 pm.  I mean how long can one gamble without losing their shirt? 

Will post more this week.......PROMISE!
