Well, she isn't too clingy, yet, but we did have a great time.
So cool meeting new people. Never know what to expect. I've casually known this woman for about a year now, and I never had even the slightest thought that she was significantly athletic. Turns out she grew up in the Rockies, and was a champion skier in her youth. She had to make a decision after high school to either pursue education in college, or join the junior Olympic team. A really bad high speed wipeout on the giant slalom shook her confidence, and she chose to go the college route. This is why dating is such an important part of GALing, especially for us folks who have been married a long time, to remind us there are other very interesting potential partners out there.
I was at home getting ready when my son called and asked me to bring his band instrument over to W's house. I brought it on the way. I now get the whole point of how the LBS is advised to act when around the WAS. I was dressed up, wearing cologne, in a good mood, and in a hurry. When I walked into W's house, she immediately offered me dinner, which I happily declined, even though it did look and smell good. Even after I said no thanks, she asked if I'd like to take it with me. I graciously declined again. The kids were all over me, and I didn't want to be late, so I was looking at my watch, and obviously trying to hurry along my little conversations with the kids and W. I made a hasty exit and met my date.
