Funny, I was thinking about Linda while reading about SS & his problems. Yep - she went through a lot for sure. We are still good friends today. We were just sharing moose stories yesterday.
I LOVE my hot gay guy friends. Met 2 of them when I was on a cruise with Linda & they are still a couple of my beasties today. Michael could do GQ ads - he is just what I need sometimes. LOL
I think you have a great attitude. Keep it up. You are inspiring!
I love this thread....Lots of support for each other along with humor; how can it get any better?
UPDATE! Match (1) Met for coffee and no sparks, but great conversation about golf. Works in the DTC area (Betsey??)
Match (2) Met for brunch on July 4. Nice guy, not a golfer and too recently divorced and eager to 'couple' up quickly. Had a rose waiting for me at the table...very nice.
Match (3) Met for golf yesterday and dinner. He's actually an Indian native so we talked a lot about my trip and ate at an Indian restaurant. GREAT golfer, but way too quiet for this little whipper snapper. Not my guy, but would play golf with him again.
Match (4) coming today... Match (5) coming tomorrow...
BA, I still have open spots on my dance card! Bring your clubs and get on out here! How fun would that be?
Yep, the 'car pic' is bringing 'em on in. I'm no dummy!
Happy Saturday everyone!

GG you crack me up. Can't wait to hear updates from you and BA...
I've got an interesting update on Sweet Stuff. We've been talking on and off since Tuesday, and he's having a change of heart about moving back to Illinois. He spent the 4th with his 17 year old son, and they had a really great day. Apparently his S17 told him that his S16 and S14 (the 3 of them) do not want him to move. They understand his position but would like for him to be here. He told his S17 about me and told him he is falling in love with me. I guess his S17 told him to stay and fight here. So he's planning on going home for a visit over Labor Day weekend and getting his plan together.
So... Now I know his feelings and his overall plan and I will continue to take things slowly here. I have to... Mr. wonderful's work travel schedule just took a big turn for the nasty starting in September. Really nasty. That will pull D16 into a funk and I'll be the parent left to manage her anxiety. He doesn't like it any more than I do either. Oh well.
Barb, we went for a walk last night and I found myself behind Linda's old house. Had she stayed here, she would have lived across the park from me. I wish she did. I also consider her a friend... We keep up on FB. I hope she's had an easier time this year.
Time to finish laundry. Sunday nights are a bit crazy here... Laundry to finish and lunches to make. Back to the grindstone at work tomorrow. Not a complaint - I have plenty to accomplish. Once the 4th is behind us, summer seems to fly by quickly. D19 leaves for New York again a month from today. Sigh. I do love that kid and already find myself missing her. She seems to work when I'm home and I don't see her much as it is.
Hope everyone has a great week!

Match 4 (Dave) is totally my type and we had a lovely, lovely time last evening. He's 52, very fit, athletic, smart, funny, has his own insurance agency, and YES he is a golfer. HOPE to see him again; he lives south, but who cares when the chemistry is that good? Let the waiting begin...
Match 5 was a nice golf date, but no sparks and he has a 10 year old and very limited time. Probably not a match.

And if the vibe is right, a little bit of a commute should not be an impediment. My current boyfriend takes a 2 hour train ride every weekend to be with me.
GG - Personally I think Match 4 has a very very nice first name . Aside from a 2 year age difference he sounds like my twin!
I had date number 2 with Lucy last night which went really well. She opened up a bit more about herself and we had some very good flowing conversation. She is definitely interested in taking things very slowwwly. I told her that is ok as long as slowwwly doesn't mean stagnant and there is at least some progression and continued attraction between us. I don't want to just be in a "friend zone". We both have some travel coming up over the next couple of weeks so it may be a bit before we reconnect.
Thursday is date number 2 with Romy which I am really looking forward to. Of the three women, she has kept in contact with me the most which I really appreciate and also seems to have the most chemistry.
Jan on the other hand seems to have dropped a bit off the radar. I've reached out a couple of times and have gotten less than enthusiastic responses from her. Which is ok since I still feel like I have my hands full.
Dave texted today with the "date follow-up" and asked to see me again soon....yay! It's in the works...
Yep, Betsey...Centennial/Parker. Not close at all to Erie, but I agree with Ellie that distance is not that big of an obstacle at this point. Gives us both a little 'breathing room.'
Match (5) Kind of a big goofy guy. Not my type, but a fun golf outing nonetheless.
Match (6) A bona fide "Peter Pan" who has never been married and kept saying, "That's cool," to almost everything I said. Not a match, but nice.
That's all I have right now. I agree with BA. This juggling the dates is crazy! I'm exhausted and glad to have one to kind of proceed with at this point. I did see his age range was from 38-50. He's going to get some sh&% about that when I see him again! ;-)
