This used to be easier - and a lot more fun, cont.

Well Mat 20th was as uneventful as it always is. The only difference is that I remembered this year where I don't most years. I texted several friends including a few who were in the wedding to see if they remembered. Two guessed correctly, a few others didn't even respond. I never got back to them and life simply went on. Was with family on the 21st and no one even gave a hint. I said nothing. I'm guessing after all these years it's long forgotten.

Did have fun last Saturday though including discussing the potential to go on a cruise with the friend I was out with. I love cruises. It would be her first. We get along really well and have fun together. She has not had a serious R in years just like me. All things considered we coukd be dating but I just don't feel it with her. Not sure why. Yet I'd totally do the cruise and we have been physical at times. Might somethung develop? Hmrf I guess anything could happen but I rather doubt it. I'm totally in for the cruise though - will see if it happens. Now watch her get a BF and I'll be out. Lol

Another "date" of the same type - in all ways this Saturday. Really is the same other than I do feel an attraction with this one but we are just not a fit. She has young children (7/10) and suffers from some depression issues. The good L is great but the not so good L is really hard to deal with. Still, I'm very looking forward to seeing her Saturday night. I'm sure it will be fun.

Of course as luck would have it, two GF from high school asked me to meet them Saturday night. Now it was HS so it's not like I was in love with either of these girls. They are still the best of friends and it was just casual stuff with me, years apart from each other, but I'd love to see them. Not sure the timing will work since I'll be with L an hour away from where they will be, but I told them when I was on the road I'd text and if they are still out I'll stop by where they will be. One is just visiting from out of state so I'd really like to see her. The other is recently D'd --- hmmmm is that part of why she messaged me after all these years? It did cross my mind but honestly I'd just love to see these friends from so many years ago. Last time was about 4 years although we keep in touch electronically. Anything else would just be a bonus.

And then, the gal from January invited me over for a cookout on Monday. We've stayed in touch with her more perusing me. As per my usual, not sure if I feel anything more than a friendship there either but I love talking with her and I'm sure Monday will be fun.

Add in band gigs on Friday and Sunday and I've got a busy busy weekend! And that's good. A lot of activities and that's great. Still no one that I think about in "that way". Part of me thinks that's good. Another part wishes I had a real, romantic date in the mix. Just not the case. Oh well. It's just the start of summer. Will see what happens. And of course, even if it does will I be interested? That's the piece that seems to happen less and less every year.
