GM- NOT ALL meetups are hook ups, but this one totally seemed like it. The hunt was "palpable!"
CW- I do think ALL OF US get set in our ways to some extent as we get older. I am going to try really hard to stay open and flexible like the Aussie chick.
IR-trust me, THAT GUY was completely and obviously insecure! He didn't chat with any men, either! AND .... normally I DO like to make plans and I have lots of quirks! I do not want to settle for a guy who calls me whenever- that is not my long term plan! So I would be more like ask him out, wait for him to ask me out on a 2nd date, then maybe a 3rd, then I would ask him out like "let me know if you want to do something next week! Give me a call to figure out a time." And then he would need to call me. If a week went by and I didn't hear from him, I WOULD MOVE ON!
Male companionship as in a boyfriend. Not a fling. My friend IS very pretty and cute, but is in the process of losing weight. SHe has lots of tattoos and is a CRACK UP and a dare devil and a devoted mom.
Gatsby- I love those guys! Yeah..for me it has now been 17 months of separation from stbxh. I was not having any desire for men until this summer (14 months separated?).
Well tomorrow is the first day of school. I had another friend help me to get set up in the room. It is all ready! I have my plans all typed out, the pencils all sharpened, the name tags all ready to go with kids' names on them. Everything is neat and tidy, and it will last a day! Wish me luck- I always get butterflies.
Montana (my nickname for my 28 year old friend) and I are going to a karaoke night at a pub NEXT Tuesday night. It will be an experiment- I will stay out until 11 and go to bed at 11:30. Obviously stbxh has S so I can sleep in a little bit- til 6:45? as long as I get to work by 8!
