Am I poster child for how not to date? So, I think the pandemic has stirred things in many people-myself included. 3 meh I’ve dated have waited to meet and talk. One was the Canadian. While physically and mentally attracted to him, he is, ahem, rather controlling. If I’m being repetitive I apologize in advance. He works out for three hours a day and he invited me over for movie night when were seeing each other. He held up a snack size bag of chips and thought that we could indulge. I had to stifle my laughter.

I actually texted him to see how he was doing because I came across something that reminded me of him. Honestly I wasn’t even sure he’d respond but we started some banter and he invited me over to talk. I didn’t go the first night he asked. But I agreed to come over the next night. I walked in the door, he hugged me, then kissed me and the tried to you know...all within the first 5 minutes. While I understand that’s normal, I asked him if we could just chat first since I had not seen him in five weeks. He became kind of angry and ask why we had to rehash this foolishness. I am very logical for a woman and I asked him what he meant by that because I did think the reason we end it was foolish. Although it was a much bigger issue in play which I totally get. But basically he stopped speaking to me because he thought it took too long for me to call him back. And I agreed with him that I thought that was foolish but that he was the one who stopped speaking to me. So then he offered to get me an earpiece or to install some thing in my car. And he told me that he had gotten approved to be a foster parent. And his mother was as well. And he obviously has a very big heart and he’s a kind human, but he is also very ridged and controlling. I’m very much a free spirit. And even though I have a tendency to attract men who are a little bit more buttoned down, I just felt like I would be disappointing him nonstop. And I just want something that flows a little easier at this point. I also told him that I don’t want to keep him from having kids to which he responded he was totally open to any situation. However, I could tell by his face that he really wants to have kids of his own. He’s 38. I told him that he can still do that.

We talked for a bit and I told him that I was a bit hurt when he hung up on me because I didn’t call him back fast enough. He said it was close to two hours before I called him back and it was at night. I was driving back from the lake with my oldest son and I don’t talk on the phone while I drive. I had also wanted to do something for his birthday and he declined. I told him that I just wanted to do something nice for him and then I didn’t hear from him for five weeks because he got angry at me. However, when I got there he was all over me which made me feel a bit odd. He finally got frustrated with me and accused me of withholding intimacy for a ransom. I could understand if we were seeing each other but I had not talked to the man in almost 6 weeks so I’m not sure what the ransom was. He told me I wasn’t serious about reconciling and that obviously I didn’t have true love and passion for him. He’s very much a romantic and his exact words were that he is looking for a fairytale. Unfortunately or fortunately I don’t believe in fairytales. He walked me to my car and was super angry with him. I don’t think we will chat again.

That’s all I have. I am meeting the guy that I dated for two years for mimosas on Saturday morning. Well, I can’t drink very much so it’ll probably be a single mimosa for me. He lives out of state now but we’ve had fun catching up. Nothing has happened except for a kiss.

Hope everyone is healthy and doing well during this very odd time. Sending everyone a hug.
