Ginger1,

Glad you're back at it and with a positive outlook towards dating. Your mindset towards it sounds a lot better in this post than previously and I bet that makes a big difference in the outcome for you.

I have gotten a lot of matches. I matched with 90 percent of my right swipes which is good.

I get the sense from reading your thread that you've often had a lot of interest and options, but either weren't interested yourself or not perhaps not open to it.

One guy and I moved to text and wow. He hasn’t been inappropriate at all.

Still surprising to me that this isn't the common, but you and the other women on the board would know better.

Our convo just flows, he is so easy to talk to. I feel like I am being my authentic self. All the way. I don’t feel any need to filter or catch my words or wonder if they are right. Physically, he does fall into my top preferences of what I am attracted to.

I laughed and smiled so much while texting. And I understand the difference from when I was talking with the other guy. For topics that have a lot of discussion we keep saying “when we meet that we will talk about them, but don’t have a date set yet. Hopefully soon

That's awesome. Hope you can line up schedules soon!

He owns his own home, has a good job

Wouldn't this be the standard not the exception at our age? Seems like the the bare minimum LOL. You've mentioned "not living parents" a few times in earlier posts, so I ask.

Wheeeww. I might be more optimistic this time, but I’m sure as heck very cautious.

Optimistic but cautious. Sounds like the right attitude.

Maybe the thousandth time is the charms, lol

Reminds me of "My Cousin Vinny" when they're asking him how many times it took to pass the bar exam. "Third time's a charm? Not for me it wasn't." LOL
