Remember the bowling date that decided we weren't compatible?
So I was bummed out about it and kind of went back into my cave and didn't want to date. Well... over the last few weeks, something has changed!

I started dating a guy from work, we decided that we are going to keep it as "friends" because a thing from work is usually not a good thing... (especially when I have a feeling he isn't that faithful of a guy). . Oh, believe me, the chemistry was there, and so was everything else, but after a few nights together and a lot of fun, we both decided it was not going to work out. We just don't have the same goals. He wants to party and be a bachelor, and I want to have a long term relationship. We had fun together and we are great friends now! I haven't cut loose and had fun like that for about 10 years! It felt good! We went out dancing, played pool, stayed out late, watched movies all night and all kinds of fun stuff

And, as soon as that is winding down to a friendship, I start getting anonymous calls from a blocked number. I start to wonder what is going on. Who is calling me? (Remember, I've still got High School Sweetheart coming to visit me in June, and we are just friends and maybe "someday" this guy will come around to more than that but he is too shy to do anything else).

So I start to think Mr. Anynymous caller is the Ex I dumped about eight months ago because he wouldn't introduce me to his family. I thought maybe he was married and had something to hide. I call him and confront him. "If you want to call, just call, don't hide behind a "restricted" number". He says it wasn't him, but wants to take me out to dinner. I tell him I won't go unless he is willing to introduce me to some of his friends and family, prove to me he isn't married, at least show me where he lives, then I'll go out with him again. We dated for three months last time and I never saw where he lived. Too fishy for me! C'mon, we are in our 40's! I know the signs of a married man when I see them! He's still on hold until he can prove to me he's not married. But he is still trying.

In the mean time, ANOTHER gentleman I dated last year sent me an email. He was such a wonderful guy. We went out three times. My daughters loved him, my granddaughter loved him, and he went to a party with us at my friends house and all my friends loved him. They had only been divorced for three years. (They were married for 10) and he felt the pull to go back and be with her and her kids. He said she called him and said the divorce wasn't legally final and he had to go and take care of the paperwork and didn't feel it was right to date other women until everything was taken care of the right way. What he really found out was that his ex-wife was dying from cancer. He went to be with her and her kids in their time of need. Her kids are young adults, (early 20's). She called him and asked him to come to visit her. He felt it wasn't fair to me to start a relationship with me while this was still ending with her. When he met me, he was unaware that she was sick. It wasn't until after our third date that she called him. So, now it's six months later, she is gone, and he has called me. Asking if I would like to see him again. Hmmmmmm.......

I invited him over on Sunday for a family BBQ we are having in the Back yard, nice and light, granddaughters birthday party. We'll see what happens.

So I went from the pitiful woman who was going to be living alone for the rest of my life, to the scandalous one who had a fling with her co-worker, has two ex-boyfriends calling her, and one high school sweetheart sitting on the back burner! Not bad for an old gal with PN huh?
C'mon you single women, get out there and have some fun with me! (easy on the tequila though! After a night of that I'm stuck in bed for two whole days! Just a beer or two for me, and no dancing the night away any more! )
