Yes, I suppose the nice gentle man is a good call...but I am not so sure he is 'into' me...he seems like a busy sort and he has told me he is tied up for the next few weeks...so I don't know if that is manspeak for: I don't really like you that much.
Dating sucks.
OH well, only time will tell.
Hope your meeting with new guy on Wednesday is fun and you laugh a lot...
Hugs, Alix

THe problem with slow...is, well, that it is SLOW...and meantime, what if they lose interest...or if YOU do? Whatever...I guess I am being spoiled about it. Perhaps patience is something I need to learn...
I should not knock slow and easy! Oftentimes that is best!

I totally undestand what your saying V I guess there is slow and then there is slowwww
it does take work to keep a longer distance R working and you both have to work at it , I guess maybe thats the way of knowing you both want it, enough. Still go by the old saying.... if it was meant to be..... and everything happens for a reason
I remember being heartbroken over men , well not heartbroken like I was over my M! but bummed when they decided or it just didnt work and wondered why, I do believe it was because there was a bigger plan, something waitng, at just the right time.... and there was
AND there will be for you too, I know it, your a good people V and good things will be comin' you just wait and see

Karen, yes distance relationships are harder to maintain...because you really do have to mean it...
I am usually kind of ambivalent about relationships at the beginning then it seems as if it is working out and then I let my guard down and then they decide that it is not for them by wya of: disappearing or running off screaming into the night or saying we're going to hell or they are not over their exes...I mean, WTF? How hard is it??? Jinkies! You would think they had been through what WE have been through...I mean, if anyone would be in a position to NOT trust or run at the first sign of trouble, that would be us---the LBS...but apparently we understand about toughing it out.
I feel kind of bummed like you were...asking myself are there any EMOTIONALLY AVAILABLE men out there? I am glad to know that it is not just ME...that others have had this experience as well.
Perhaps there is a bigger plan with regards to another companion...In truth, I really have no idea.
Thanks for the compliment! I am glad you feel that way about me...seems like the immediate people around me think I am a bitchalina or something...
I believe good things are coming by way of a more exciting job...a new place...a new car, etc...but all those things are material...I want something special and unique...I suppose we all want that...
In the meantime, I will keep dreaming....
Hugs, Valentine

Glad to say that I am your first guest! And I love your temperature! I wish it was as warm here.
I replied to your question on my thread. Hopefully, it won't take your guy too long to fully warm up to you! I had a long distance R for many years with XH before we moved in together.
Last week-end my sister invited me to the opera "Samson et Dalila" which was performed outdoors. Although it was slow moving it was quite spectacular to watch since over 120 people were on stage at one time.
I have the pure cane sugar, fresh mint...from a friend's garden,
Excellent!
Samson and Dalila! WOnderful!
Have another date with Mr. Slow mover this weekend...He has been gusy with relativesw coming in and a new position at work...too bad, because I have missed our banter!
Cheers! Vali

I just thought that a slow mover is better than no mover - LOL! Have fun with your banter. (((HUGS)))
You know, when you asked me last week how the Wednesday guy was I should really have replied: Well he was so significant that I completely forgot about him! - LOL.
V Whats his story? Is he maybe a cold feet LB? I know sometimes that could make us cautious but heck he is interested! Seems he likes your banter too since you are seeing him again! yeah!
