I was out at a bar with my best friend for happy hour tonight and we ended up striking up a conversation with the two guys who were sitting next to us, one of whom - I kid you not - was a Hungarian named Attila. If Mr. Big Lots doesn't work out, I could always date Attila the Hun, right??
I met a Chinese wowman named Boris once, but I digreess. OK, last checks: no boogers hanging from nose, check. Nostril hair trimmed, check. Ears clean, check. Ear hair pulled, check. No sleet in eyes, check. Comb in pocket, check. Condoms...nah!!!lol. Well, I am on my way to meet the woman who will bear my future children...or at least have a cup of coffee with me! Lol. Later dbers. Have a great Saturday.
Whatis has returned from the belly of the beast! What a wonderful coffee date We talked for two hours...with no lulls. She's from mainland China, been here 7 years and is a social service worker helping homeless and elderly people find housing. She's actually been to my workplace numerous times before. I work for the Salvation Army and she goes to church in an Army church (goodbye any hope for a sex life for me! lol)Anyway, she has such a joy about her and a zest for life. We had a really nice talk about everything under the sun. She's only been on the dating site one week. We also ran into her ping pong coach. She's a fun lady who seems full of life. I enjoyed her company very much. After two hours we decided to part company, she was going home to cook lunch for her 12 year old daughter, going to play ping pong in the afternoon and go to a church celebration in the evening. Me, I'm going to the Occupy Toronto march, gotta call my friend now. Talk to you later, Dbers.
That is awesome! I'm so happy that your first coffee date was a positive experience. She sounds lovely.
Now - are you interested in taking her out again - on a real date? How long will you wait until you call?
I'm proud of you - ya dun great! & I'm mostly impressed that you both made time for the date but still filled your w/e with many other things. Never make another person your whole world. "Don't put the key to your happiness in someone else's pocket" - I heard that one today - I LOVE it!
Thanks Barb and kml! I went to the Occupy Toronto march with my friend and afterwards we went to the Aboriginal Festival at the CNE. Just got home a little while ago. Actually, I sent Wendy and email thanking her for wonderful coffee date, I said I'd very much like to spend time together again and if she'd like that to let me know what would be a good time (her schedule is busier than mine) and we'd go from there. I then told her how I spent the rest of my day. She seems like such a nice lady. She's been divorced 2 years and left her marriage four years ago. Her husband was abusive and wouldn't get any help. She finally had enough and ended the marriage. Another thing, she used to live in the apartment building I was a security guard in 35 years ago. It's a strange world, isn't it!
It all sounds good. Now remember - go easy. Don't send her another message until you've heard from her. Even then - don't answer right away. Leave some room for anticipation.
Don't worry, I'll leave her alone! She's online right now on "chat", I didn't contact her. She needs time to process things too. She told me yesterday when she's chatting it's with her girlfriend who is on the POF site too. I'll leave it to her, no rush, no pressure and if she doesn't want to, that's fine too.
Wii: She may also be talking to other guys just as you should be talking to other girls. You don't put all your eggs in one basket with someone you just met. You keep all your options open until you both decide you are "THE ONE". You need to meet lots of people so you can compare.

Absolutely, she could be talking to whoever she wants, I'm just saying what she told me. She said she doesn't get many emails and asked me how many I get, so I told her "Uh, about 50 so far" (There were two more women wanting to meet me when I got home last night). Hey, my options are open! If she wants to meet again that's great, if not, that's fine too. I had a good experience with her and, naturally, would like to see if it has any legs. We'll see. Either way, I'm cool!
