Appreciate everyone's updates on OLD , their success/failures and their best wishes. FWIW I've had lots of success over the years. Sure I've had the random no connection, one date done, but both of my ex's were from Match and took off after our first date. Big reason I went with Bumble was so that the lady had to make the first move. The young lady who I've been talking with I continue to believe she and I will have a great time this weekend. No major plans besides having drinks, some dinner and seeing where we go from there. I approach these dates optimistically, we both believe the chemistry is there, but we'll find out tomorrow and see how it goes. Given our children and custody schedules almost inherently that will make the pace at which we could get to know each other much longer than if we didn't have children.
Simply put I'm optimistic and hopeful. Nothing more, nothing less. We started talking on Monday afternoon so it will have been less than a week since we first chatted until we met. Will have a double update sometime thereafter as Sunday I'll be going to write up a contract on a new place for myself and D4. HUGELY excited for that event to happen! I plan to give D4 lots of input into her room and colors and how she would like to decorate it. Buildling a new place for her and I to call home is going to be one of many thrills I've been blessed to have in my life.
