Dang, dude - why didn't you stick with one of these?
LOL - well... The data scientist I would have and still would in a heartbeat. Problem is, we met while I was on a band road trip to her town. She is a widow with her last child just graduating a few weeks ago. Problem was she lived 10 hours away but came to Chicago (90 minutes from me) about once a month. I was a bit more into her than her me but not by that much. She clearly checked many boxes for me. We are both pilots too - well she was taking lessons but. Anyhow, it never fully took off and then she got moved to Florida about six months ago. She is still the top of my list. Who knows, life may turn again.
The buyer, I may try with again but it's just not there - for either of us I think. And the teacher was actually an old GF like now 30 years ago. We dated for about 7 months again about 5 years ago when her I thought divorced husband, but may have really been separated, dumped his AF and wanted her back. I really have to believe I was part of the reason why when he saw her moving on. They had three kids and nearly 20 years at that point so I bowed out and they are back together - I think re-married but perhaps just never fully D'd.
I know I'm a catch - I have that level of self asteam to say and own that and am told this over and over by many. At 55 I'm financially secure for life and semi-retired for the last nearly 10 years now. I set my own schedule - for a large part - and have plenty of time now - something I didn't have while I was married. No drama, no crazy exes, etc. Own my own home, car, recording studio, etc. Business professional, paramedic, firefighter, was on the radio and chief engineer for years. Still do a radio show once a week. You see the opinion of one of the people I was with this weekend "very welcoming and interesting." I'm rather smart, pretty fun, rather funny - sarcastically so, very talented. Now that's the good parts. LOL. I'm rather love avoidant at this point, EXTREMELY picky and clearly am often attracted to the wrong people - although many others are just in my same shoes - not really looking for anything with some really avoiding it. I still find so many that don't only not want to date me, they don't want to date anyone. I can't and won't settle.
And of course, it's not just me finding someone I really am interested in - they have to be interested in me as well. That doesn't always happen either. It well could be I just am finding the wrong women but dang I'm telling you, it is increasingly looking to me like there are just a lot of crazy women out there - no different than the lack of suitable men you are finding KML.
Sadly, pretty much the only part of my life that has never fully worked out is the relationship part. Everything else I knocked out of the park. I hope I don't sound too conceded here and I of course have my faults but when compared to what seems to be out there - especially OLD - I mean c'mon, how am I in this place? But I am.
I feel I'm on a roll though. Got another great weekend coming up here, including sex with, er um I mean a "date with" this latest girl. LOL
