Guys, keep hijacking, I am thoroughly enjoying the conversation. I don't know how to do this stuff so it's good discussion!
Doodler, I do understand the feeling of not wanting to put in the effort. Sometimes the thought of giving up my Chinese food and Netflix in PJ's night makes me sad. I like those nights. But I would also like to share them with someone. But naughty for cancelling such a big thing last minute! I see it 2 ways, either you really do want to date, but the effort can be overwhelming, or you aren't into it. If you aren't into it, put it on the burner, but don't tease the women with the possibility of Doodler love. That's just cruel!
Rosalinda and UR,
Thank you. I am doing this completely different than in the past. I have no clue if it's going to go anywhere, so I am just enjoying the moment. I don't need to even think about that right now. I like the "dating" aspect. I feel like I kind of skipped over that in the past. I am going to trust my gut. I can't explain his personality, it is quite cute and funny, and I did come to realize he was just being himself. He jokes about this stuff and that's just what he does. I respect that he isn't afraid to be who he is, but realizes that if I am not comfortable with something, he'll watch it.
Every guy I date gives me the "you are so different from the rest speech" which is flattering at first, but when push comes to shove, they bail. I got the "you are so different" speech and I did say in my head "here we go again!" but I am not even going to look that far.

Ginger,
D@mn I love it when you talk to me like that! I am a bit naughty and I need to be scolded more often.

Oh Doodler, I just had to share this one with you.
I'm texting with the plumber and I told him I was going to a volunteering orientation tomorrow night. He asked what I was volunteering to do. I said "free sponge baths for the needy" (I can't help myself either)
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.

He called me Mother Theresa. HEHEHE
TOTALLY AWESOME!!! That's a mind-boggling coincidence.
