OK, so I was quite happy staying single for a while but I owed one chap a date and 2 other decent looking men had contacted me so I thought fine, will have a few more dates since H has taken the kids away for 10 days and it'll fill the time... Date 1 queue jumped as he's going camping with his teenage kids for a few days, I liked him enough via text to meet up on Friday evening. I found him very interesting indeed although he is a bit odd! Very energetic both physically and mentally (like me!), talks fast (like me!) and is VERY enthusiastic (like me!) He's not amazingly attractive but is not unattractive and is fit (which is important), I did sleep with him and it wasn't great but he was very enthusiastic (again, lol) and it might get better, it was good enough to repeat and he did have a 34 year old as my most recent experience!! We have been texting each other a lot ever since, he sends me selfies and random stuff and has an interesting job. His marriage was 25 years long and he's been separated for 2 years so about the same as me, it's nice having similar experiences to compare though he was the one who left...I feel quite optimistic about this man, I smile whenever I think about him and am curious to find out more though not completely desperate to spend time together, it's kind of nice dating via text and his kids come first for him as well (they are 1 year younger than mine).
Date 2 was a washout, I actually didn't like him very much and although he was very clever and we had some interesting conversations it was a definite no. Phew.
Date 3 I might not go on. He is a ridiculously good looking man who got out of a 10 year relationship in February, so to my mind he probably shouldn't even be dating. He booked a table but has not contacted me since. No good vibes here but I will meet him if he doesn't cancel. I think I will date ADHD man exclusively for a while and see how it goes. He is buying a house in a month and says he hopes I like it, I think he's very keen for us to see more of each other but he also makes it clear that he has a busy life, he likes that I have a busy life, and that he's not expecting some grand romance where we move in together immediately. I think at this stage that would be just fine. Plus, he lives quite near where ds1 is going to uni and I will be going there and back every term..The date was crazy golf, which I told him I love, and was a lot of fun. I really have high hopes for this man! But if it doesn't work out it's no big deal, I will be more cautious with him after the last one even though it's not really in my nature!!
