Hey BBJ, glad to hear you got some good advice from your C. Personally I prefer email communication with her, I can take my time to respond and word, re-word it several times until I'm satisfied. It's the phone or face to face that I have trouble with, I'm either tongue tied or it's on like donkey kong
Are you getting a mountain bike or a road bike? I have both, enjoy mountain biking more but not a lot of girls do it so I'm gonna do more road biking in the future- yeah, I know my priorities
I am splitting the difference and buying a hybrid bike. Anything will be an improvement over a 1995 Roadmaster!
I have been chatting with a fellow teacher/coach online for the past couple weeks. He likes running and has been looking into biking as a friend of his does road races (cycling not running). He teaches high school and coaches tennis. It has been nice chatting, he seems pretty level-headed and caring, loves teaching and his two little boys. We'll see....I had let my match expire but they hooked me back in with those emails of "someone just emailed you", "someone is interested in you" b.s.
My extra month ends next Thursday. I have been planning to let it lapse because I didn't think I was in the appropriate mental/emotional state to be dating. However I am going to see how things play out with the teacher/coach because he appreciated that with me having kids I am not rushing into anything and neither is he. It would be nice to have someone to run or bike with or do dinner once in a while when I don't have the kids. Even if it turns out to be a friendship like I have with you guys, where you have been through Divorce and you 'get it'. Don't have any real life divorced friends. Which is good for them but hard to find anyone who shares my p.o.v.
