Well, I've decided to give up chasing the Filipino lawyer lady, it turns out she has 2 Shih Tzu's and I just can't bear the thought of accidentally running them over in her driveway. Have you ever tried to get dog fur out of your tire treads...not pretty! I'm now thinking of the babe on the tractor, can't wait to bale some hay together...or the purple haired mama. I can't decide. Wow, this online dating stuff just makes your world so much wider. OK, gotta go. I'm on my fourth day of caffeine withdrawl and half our staff are off sick...should make for an intersting day. We'll see who makes it out unscathed. Mmm, brown rice tea.
OK, break time. Now back to online dating. In perusing these sites I have never seen so many happy, secure women in the best places of their lives! It's so uplifting. They know who they are, where they're from and where they are going. Incredible. They work hard but also know how to play too. They are comfortable in both party dresses and jeans. And boy, do they like walks on the beach or a glass of wine with that someone special. As far as what they are looking for, this was my favourite "our children will know that sushi is not eaten with a fork" I didn't even know that! The things you learn. It's also important that "our baggage" fit in "your shaving kit". I don't even have a shaving kit...do I need to carry a hanky too? Ah, it's a whole new world! Did I mention a friend of mine is on E-harmony, I'll bet I did. Here's his latest fiasco. He put up his profile but hadn't found a picture yet. He kept getting these requests for a photo and thinking it was E-harmony bugging him he deleted them all. He's now discovered these are ladies requesting photos. He's a man who knows what he wants...lessons on how to online date, badly!!!! Gotta go again. Life calls.
Hey, come to think of it, MM and I went for a romantic walk on the beach. She was collecting stones for a friends aquarium and I found a huge stick. So I picked it up, turned to her and raised my arms in the air declaring "I am Moses". When she stopped laughing, she looked at me and said "Moses, don't you think you should face the water". Picky, picky! Oh, and I did hold her hand ...as I helped her climb over some rocks. So the walk on the beach shows that I am ready for those online dating ladies. Is the Moses thing good to use more than once?
Yes, everyone is low maintenance, can get along with anyone. Amazing EVERYONE isn't still married.
Hey, I'm low maintenance. Just put me on a beach and throw me a stick and I'll part the waters for you all day! Oh, and I'm trustworthy, not a game player...I'll always give you back the stick.
Well DBers, I sent out a message to a lady through a dating site. She's a social worker, 45 and loves yoga and meditation and wants a "kind-hearted and funny guy" Hey, I could do that. She's also NOT Asian! Sent her some nice pics too, none of my package though. lol Wish me luck.
here was the message I sent...my first one ever. Hi Ms X, it's nice to see another social worker here, especially one with such lovely eyes. I've been working in the mental health field for about 25 years in both hospital and community settings. What field are you in? I'm 53 years young (with the heart of a 45 year old!) and live in Sxxxxxxx, I enjoy yoga and meditation, just as you do. In fact, in Monday evenings I attend a meditation group weekly. I'm also doing a lot of Qi Gong lately, another great stress buster. I love to learn, love to laugh and believe in equality...but I'll still open the door for you! I'm caring, compassionate and extremely trustworthy....and I'll listen till it hurts So, if I've peaked your interest please check out the attached pics and get back to me with any questions, comments or suggestions. If you'd like to get together for a coffee, ice cream, slurpee, a Greens Plus or whatever else I'd be delighted to do so. I'm assuming that you can connect with my profile through this message but if not let me know. So, I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
Look OK, too late now anyway! Sorry about the ice cream idea Kat.
Well, Whatis in into his second day of the online dating world. So far I've had no bite from my target, such is life, but have had two other women contact me...neither of which interested me. One tried to online chat with me so I thought I'd better put an end to this now. I had to decide how to deal with this because I hate rejecting people but...So, I decided rather than just hit "delete" I'd message them and say "thanks for the interest. All the best in your search for that special someone :)" I just think that if someone has the courage to express an interest then a courteous reply is only right. I know some women have said that they don't respond that way anymore 'cuz some guys take it poorly. Right now it's just an experiment that doesn't cost me anything. At break I told my two co-workers, who I hang out with now since MM is gone, and one said "You're very courageous Whatis. It's only been a month since MM, and I know that hit you hard, but you've come to terms with it and you're moving on, I'm proud of you" Well, I'm doing my best and it was a really nice thing to hear! Now, should I just sit back and be selective or should I send out a whole bunch of messages to people that interest me and see if I get any responses. I actually like composing these messages. Women say that's what they want from a man, they don't want "Hi, how's it going" but want to know you sat down, thought about who they might be and spent some time on them. I like doing that. It's kind of fun thinking of what I might write to a lady. I'll probably end up doing nothing. We'll see. I'm just fine tuning my profile page right now and we'll see where that leads, if nowhere I'm OK with that too! Online dating...what the hell am I thinking!

Did you posy pictures of the frog cleaning? She might think it was cool that you taught him to do that. lol
