Surviving the rollercoaster by getting off two.

Ok Nilla...I'm sure you will be entertained by tonight's dating story.

So...I went to the gym to work out after waking up from my night shift. I saw someone staring at me and he was quite nice looking so I looked back. It was the guy I had talked to before only I didn't recognize him from the distance. Lol He came over to say hello and we exchanged niceties. A few mins later he came back and said " are you busy after this?" Normally I would not admit I did not have plans on a Friday night but he knew I was just off my work set so I said " actually I'm not" He then asked if I would like to go for a drink at the beach after we were done and I thought what the h-ll sure.

He has vertigo so he can't drive so we went in my car. He looks good for his age (55) and comes across as someone that was very " hot " in his time. Lol. We sat at a nice patio on the beach and chatted for 2.5 hrs. He made it quite obvious he likes me which of course scared me. Lol I found it a bit overwhelming as he was still a stranger to me. He paid for dinner...nice.
then we went for a walk along the beach. He is very open and it did raise some red flags for me. He felt because I'm a Nurse he could trust me and admitted he has type two bipolar disorder. This is what ended his marriage 15 yrs ago as he behaved impulsively and had a relationship while he was newly separated. I'm thinking emotional affair that crossed over after separating. Anyway I guess we all have baggage by this age and stage. I'm thinking I will go out with him one more time and see how I feel. I wasn't feeling much chemistry on my side but like I said I still see him as a stranger. Will update soon. He's already texted to let me know he's home. Lol UGH! Hahaha.

Tomorrow is drinks with a girlfriend. Sunday is Mothersday dinner out with my kiddos.
Cheers,

Karma
