Hi Snodderly and glamgirl,

Thank you for popping in and your posts. They are much appreciated. Snodderly, I prepared a box of tissues for you - LOL.

I wrote in my last post that I saw "my first date" on Saturday. Well, it was SUNDAY, of course. I didn't hear from him anymore and on Monday evening I sent him a Thank You note and that I enjoyed the afternoon.

Yesterday I received an answer that he also enjoyed the afternoon and time went by really quickly. That he was thinking it over and his gut feeling told him that we are not compatible. That it has nothing to do with me since I am a nice person. He wishes me luck. I will surely find my dream man soon.

Actually, I am quite relieved that he was honest to me since I felt the same. I had the feeling that he felt inadequate. He made a few remarks during the conversation which gave me that impression. I thought I might just let him know that he is welcome to join me going to some events if he feels like it, and that we could get to know each other as friends. But I guess him being a man will not want to waste his time with a woman only for friendship. He is looking for a partner.

Well, I am already wiring to somebody else who might be more compatible. At least he does sailing but maybe he is too sporty and active for me. We will see. I am only at the stage of writing e-mails.

I must say that writing to these people has become no problem to me since I have been on this BB for so long and am used to "talking to strangers". But meeting them is a totally different experience.

It is a wonderful day today, but incredibly cold. Yesterday it got all mushy and today it is icy. I might go to the theatre this evening but I will go for a nice walk in the sun this afternoon for sure although it is freezing.
