belated birthday celebrations

On Monday, I emailed a friend and basically told him that we needed to get together because he needed to buy me a birthday drink.
For some reason, he didn’t flinch and we’re scheduled to meet at The Sample Room tonight at 6:00.
I fully intend on discussing the following:

His love life
Whether he would give me some [...]

Metaphorically Poolside

Metaphorically speaking, Re: this post, it turns out all I’m really ready for is to get my suit on. When it comes to actually taking off the cover-up and getting in the pool, I can’t seem to get there.
But it’s OK to sit on the lounge and gaze out over the pool and enjoy [...]

Getting back in the pool

OK interwebs. Lend me your expertise.
I’m loath to spend any money on dating sites this year. I’d rather have that money for buying gifts and souviners on my trip in November. I haven’t spent anything on dating since last year and by god I don’t intend to start now. But I am feeling like I [...]

I knew the day would come

Afterall, I turned on the “send matches” option. Even though I didn’t activate my profile.
It still felt like a kick in the gut when Mr. Hockey’s picture was in the email today.

Summer Solstice

What a lovely evening. The rough weather went south of the cities today. Good thing since I went to the NW suburb to meet yet another match.com for a beer.
I dunno.
Not a great story like last week. But I don’t know if I see us becoming great friends or more. Nothing offensive, but a [...]

hello?

I’m getting ready for another first date. I think this is #15 since I started back into this nonsense. Oh, match.com, are you going to prove yourself worth my hard-earned dollars or am I going to return home in a few hours ready to fill my spare time this summer with painting the house and [...]

60

Dave Letterman is 60 today. Happy Birthday, dude.
Bruce Willis with the Sanjaya hair-do was worth staying awake for. He’ s such a doofus.
Anyway, I’m still up because I had to finish a deadline for LN. So, I skipped pilates to rest, but worked instead. And now I’m watching Letterman’s birthday show.
Question of the day:
I have [...]

Am I really that clueless?

Maybe I just don’t get it.
Maybe I’m just not a “normal” woman.
Are there really women out there that go to a first-coffee-date with the expectation that he’s already not dating anyone else? Wouldn’t the assumption be that we are both dating other people until a conversation to the contrary takes place?
Hi [NFH],
I would like to [...]

Weekend choices

I know. It’s Ash Wednesday. The day when church musicians begin 40 days of drinking. I mean 40 days of practicing.
Actually, it’s 40 days of running flat out and being the poster child for crazy.
But I digress.
The boys are with their dad this weekend. I’m having YM’s boss and partner over for dinner on Sunday [...]

Just one stupid question

Ok. Probably I’ll have more questions than one. But the one that’s been bugging me lately about this on-line dating thing is “When does the actual dating start?”
I’ve had long drawn out email conversations with several (seemingly) nice men. I’ve not played coy. I’ve come right out (when appropriate) and said “Well, it seems like [...]
