new guy II et. al.

i'm thanking my lucky stars that new guy I (aka the first) didn't want to date anymore. i went out with another guy last night, another online date, and it was just so fun. we'll call him mr. puerto rico.

he NEVER mentioned another girl once.

ok, so then he was sweet, talkative, liked people & we just hung out. and cried over the redsox. lol.

that was the perfect end to a stressful week. work is just insane with so much drama going on that i don't even know which end is up. but i am keeping on doing my work and my subject line is doing just great. my clients are happy and we are working on developing new business, and my product area is getting more robust all the time.

kitten is enjoying being indoors to a large extent. i manage to keep him busy eating, playing & being scratched as much as possible. he's just the funniest little thing. he recognizes me walking up the street to the house, even in the dark, and yowls blood murder. then when i get in the door, he runs off in less than 3 minutes to do something Very Important That My Arrival Distracted Him From and i don't see him again.

finally, weekend plans. yea. today i'm off to see a friend that is moving out of state, who will be my 5th facebook reunion. of people i haven't seen for 10 years or more. then maybe meet up with the girls at the pool. tomorrow i have another date with a new guy i meet at the meet up group last week. we'll meet at the meetup again & then branch off if we feel like it.

this no-baby thing is just so freeing. now i can date and sing la la la like babe (at the start of jingle bells) and not worry about nailing a guy to the wall. yea.

oh what a relief it is to finally (seem to) escape the biological clock.

that's the topic, my dear watson

yes, i obsess about men. everyone who knows me knows this.

however, this is also an on-topic blog.

so anytime you want to read about something else, feel free.

click here to leave. lol.

it's a big. wide. world out there.

in my head, not so much. been around the world (48 countries) and ayiyi...

there's no place like home.

ok, just between you and me, it is perfectly justified to ask a guy not to call women whores all the time right?

yeah. i thought so. since i hadn't encountered it particularly before, and i seem to have dated, ahem, a bit over the past few years, i do have some experience in this area. (says the analyst.)

and if you don't want to go down on a guy the first time you hook up, even though he goes down on you, that is also perfectly ok, right? because you are the woman? aka, not whore, who can have some standards and some class and some rules, and the guy should think this is cool right?

not use them as reasons he doesn't want to date you anymore?

yes. i also thought so. maybe i should view new guy (aka last man) in a not so hot light. like a jerk.

or maybe a real jerk.
new people

well of course i never stop meeting new people. even though i think i will.

today the leader of the meetup group that i hadn't seen for a while (not mr. meetup, that's another guy) texted me and i ended up meeting him and another girl (she's super cool) for walking around, drinks, etc. we ended up at the meetup to see 500 days of summer tonite, way cool. highly suggest it.

i have a date lined up for next week with a super cute capricorn (yes, we love/hate caps) from POF, and then i met a cool guy at the meetup who works for the FDIC. yes, we also love smart boys. earlier on today i talked with two other guys from POF, one of whom i'd chatted online with a bit before. so i could also meet them, but think, uh, not sure. maybe just two new guys at once is ok as opposed to 4.

so i have two new dates.

this week i decided i won't be having kids, momentous decision. i actually marked the time & date also. for the record.

so there goes the baby angst and the pressure on Must Find A Man. now i can just relax & enjoy my rebound guys from new guy. or last man. i don't think i want to give him a name actually, i'll just make every guy i see New Guy and confuse the hell out of all of us. because as you know, it's me. no guy ever gets old. they're new, and then they're gone.

someday. someday when i'm 80 i'll be dating a guy who isn't new. that will be just b/c he is old.

lest you think i am all obsessed about men all the time, which i am, i'm actually going out to meet PEOPLE. not new guys. but there are usually no people but guys that want to meet me. because of my health i flake often & those that know me know this, and probably that's why they don't ask me out. so my phone doesn't ring all weekend, and i have no family here and i cry because i'm so lonely and then i well, you know.

so i guess meeting guys is the new thing. except for the meetup group which is cool. i will just hang with strangers in between my friends' husbands and boyfriends being out of town, which is the only time they call.

yes, it's hard to be single at 40.
