I saw The Butler 3 weeks ago & it is one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. Well worth checking out.

GG: I had missed your posts about car guy. That's a disappointment. Shoots down the theory about ow meeting them in person is somehow better than meeting online. I liked that Dave you were seeing. Never understood you giving him up. But then - I'm not in your shoes.

BA: sometimes feelings develop over time - not everything is instant chemistry. I'd give her a bit longer before deciding she's not the one.

There seem to be mixed feelings here on how soon to. Say NEXT. When I got back into dating - I decided to stick with each one until I knew for sure that I'd reached a deal breaker. Even if I really didn't feel anything much at first. It usually became clear in a couple of dates but even Josh & I hit a couple of roadblocks on the early months. I had to step back & really analyze our R. I realized that sharing mutual values & goals was more important than if he didn't phone when he said he would (although I did set him straight on that one too). I guess I'm just saying that even if someone doesn't move at the pace you would like them to - that you still consider them for a bit longer - not everyone "falls" at the same time. So it's good to try longer rather than consider it a waste of time & energy.

Thinking of my Colorado friends. We suffered severe flooding last Spring. Still sorting out the damage at my dad's cottage. Hope it gets better soon.
