Well, it looks like Bookkeeper is a write off! Aside from never responding to my email of Thursday evening, she added a little Christmas Day cheer to her profile by stating that she is done with online dating, it's not for her. Yup, she gave it a whole 2.5 weeks. I think this was a lady who was just not ready to date again. Isn't dating fun, never a dull moment!
Ummm... It has been a whole 5 days since you met her and in there was Christmas and didn't you say she was moving??? I'd say she is way too busy right now if nothing else.
Not too busy to post that she's dumping online dating though. I'm a ten second "that would be fine" email. We'll see. Maybe I'll try the lady who's interests include hi-tech weapons!
Don't take it personally, Wii - I agree, sounds like she's not really ready to date.
And just remember, these "meet and greets" are just that - the equivalent of saying hi to someone new at a party, nothing more. You have to do that a lot of times before you will encounter someone where the stars are aligned. It's a numbers game. Keep at it.
Well Kml, we spent nine days in a row meeting and greeting by email, which was an interesting and different experience. When we actually did meet it was very nice, we already knew a ton about each other. It was a really nice coffee experience. Obviously she was comfortable with me considering I have her phone number, email address, know where she lives, where she's moving to and where she works but apparently she's not up to going any further, fair enough. Actually, I have really enjoyed both my coffee meeting experiences. I had a third lined up but I cancelled it because the woman just seemed rather unmotivated and I decided not to drive 45 minutes for that so I politely backed out! What I did learn from this experience with Bookkeeper was that the possibility of being with a woman of faith excited me. I have a faith and I try to practice it and seek a further understanding of truth. I'd like a woman who is spiritual, which means more than just thinking of God when she sees a lovely sunset. She doesn't have to believe what I believe but I'd like to be with someone who sees the search as a part of her life. So, I learned something here. I, like Bookkeeper, do find this a difficult experience. I was never a "dater", someone who had to have a date or be with a woman. I've also had my share of pretty lousy experiences. So, seeking these dating experiences is a bit anxiety provoking and means I have to deal with a ton of rejection...and reject others which I don't like doing either! It ain't easy putting yourself out there but I'm doing the best I can with it.
Wow, got an email from a 42 year old lady and one of the qualities she is looking for in a man (from her profile) is "a man who can keep up with me sexually. I have a wild side and like to dress up in the bedroom" Me too...in my pj's! I consider my wild side coming out in the bedroom when I'm awake past 11:00pm, I wonder if that's what she means too? We could be a match! Hm, very tempting...but maybe I'll go with the lady who likes hi-tech weapons, she's got great legs!
And pay to do this!!!! Hey, hi-tech weapons are so cool. I could talk velocity and rounds per minute all night! But she's not limited to just one area of interest, she likes war movies and fighter airplanes too...and cross stitching. Maybe paintball would be an ideal first date.
