Yesterday was a blast for me.
I started off the day going to a Synergy meeting, which is a networking group. I sat across the table from a website designer and we chatted about website design. I also talked to my friend Kerri about writing a promotional article for her company.
Then I was about ready to leave, when I heard my name being spoken. I looked up and saw Katie, my most fabulous hairdresser.
I love Katie, so I chucked the idea of leaving out the window and sat down with her. She was sitting with a couple of other women and we chatted some more.
It was Katie’s birthday so Happy Birthday Katie!
Then the rest of the day I did errands and planned what I was going to wear for the evening dinner I had RSVP’d for.
This dinner was to be at a nice Italian restaurant and it was a group of local singles.
I didn’t know who was going to attend but I had a talk with God about the dinner and asked Him to come along. Every time I ask God to come along, it just turns out to be a remarkable memory.
I usually don’t do well in a group situation. I usually turn into a wall flower, so I was a bit out of my element.
There were moments that the thought passed through my mind that most people have someone special on this day and here I was with strangers, but the thought was not allowed to stay. (Refer to my previous post on Eviction notice)
As we sat down together we started sharing and telling stories that resulted in a fair amount of gaiety and laughter. We stayed long past the time when the last of our food had slithered down our throats.
It was one of the funnest dinners I have attended in a long time.
I realize that Valentines day is a day for lovers. I liked the people at the restaurant but do not love them.
It was interesting that I had more fun with these people that I liked than I have had with people that I have loved.
I think it may have turned out so swell because the one that I invited to attend with me, was God. He really knows better than anyone how to celebrate love.
Makes me wonder if liking someone can be more fun than loving them.
This is going to be a busy dating week for me. Have a second date with contestant #2 tomorrow, the smokin hot one. Then Wednesday a date with contestant #1. Contestant #3 invited me to dinner at her house sometime in the future. This is actually quite fun. Better than sitting at home feeling sorry for myself which I have done for the last year. And my x told me no one would want to go out with me. Apparently she was mistaken.
I am glad you had fun meeting new people last night and I hope you have fun tonight.
Well hot stuff be good. Plan on hooking up with Mr. Wow tonight after he attends a benefit. He is still tender and so has a tendency to hurt others without trying to but I usually can duck the arrows.
Well I hope Mr. Wow boy treats you right tonight.. I have learned that if you ask a lady friend to tell you when you are being an idiot, like slinging arrows, they will, and I have learned quite a few lessons in the last couple weeks when they tell me what I am doing wrong. I call these girls I am dating contestants because of the old “Dating Game” reference. Get it. I better stop writing now. Remember, even a fool when he shuts his mouth is deemed wise.
Good night and have a great time tonight.
I got it. I had a good time and knew when to show Mr. Wow the door. Sometimes that is the hardest part of a good date-knowing when to say good bye.
I frankly can’t imagine you being an idiot.
When to show the man the door? That is a hard question. And this is why. The majority of men want to get there date in bed. Period. Just take that as a given fact. It doesn’t make us bad, or mean, it just makes us men. Fact. A good man will respect NO and STOP and BYE, GOOD NIGHT and a not so good man will not. A good man will tell you what a great time he had when he is asked to leave and a not so good man will pout. When you walk into a lady friends house it is her territory and she owns it If a man wont respect a woman’s territory how can she expect him to respect her.
I am sure you could write a complete post on what a good man will do and what a bad man will do. Its actually a pretty good idea and I think you have experienced both.
You are right in all regards. However, showing the man the door is not something which is easy for me. It is only because of God that I do that. I have made so many poor decisions in my life and I am trying to get straightened out and following God’s path is the only way I can do that. Thank you for your suggestions about a post, I will pray about that.
Well, my date with super hot chick #2 never happened. She sent me an email telling me she really wanted to see me today, yesterday morning. I told her great, I will confirm on Sunday. She never called, texted, or emailed back. FYI, she is kind of ditzy and she has done this to me before, but, but, but, she has the, what shall I say, the perfect body and face. So with you, you invite God on your dates. With me, HE just shows up. Trust me on this one Gracie. If I had gone to Dallas today, which I really really wanted to do, nothing good was going to happen. You invite God on your dates. I ask him to protect me from my own foolishness and bad choices all day long.
So, because contestant #2 did not work out, but I am not done with her yet, I invited contestant #4 to dinner tonight, which she gladly accepted. She is the only girl I would actually introduce to you, my parents , my friends. Profile pictures can be quite deceiving. Sometimes the picture looks pretty but the girl is not that great, and sometimes the picture doesn’t do justice to the actual person. This time it was the latter. She was a normal person, with a normal life, and a normal kid. And she was really nice.
So yes Gracie, I am still being a good boy, but I am trying not to be.
Well, that is good and I am sorry I meant to trash the former comment but pushed the wrong button. I don’t think anyone noticed. I haven’t got a lot of traffic today for some strange reason. Nonetheless it is duly trashed now.
Awww so you mean I have a say so in who you date? That is sweet. For the record I have seen Mr Wow now two days in a row and he was supposed to go 90 days without seeing anyone according to his therapist.(He couldn’t make it to 30 days without seeing me. Poor guy he is smitten I guess) I don’t know about him, not sure he is the one so I am being good and keeping as much of my heart out of the matter as I possibly can. Hope it goes well with number 4. My vote is to kick number 2 to the curb. 🙂
Okay it is getting late so it may be that I am not reading your former comment correctly but chick #2 said she wanted to see you on Sunday, then you said you would confirm on Sunday but yet then you said she didn’t confirm and you were upset about that but I am sooooo confused because I would think if you said that you were going to confirm that it would be your responsibility to contact her today. Just saying…
After I received the email at 11:30 AM Sat. that said, yes I want to see you again tomorrow afternoon , but and I quote ” what is going to happen if you don’t have to leave early like our first date” Then I said ” I don’t know but I sure want to find out”
Then I said I am going to play golf with my friend and will check my messages sometime after 7 tonight (sat). When I got home I checked my messages and nothing. Then this morning (sun) I checked message and nothing. I sent messages on Sat night saying please confirm. On Sunday morning I sent messages saying please confirm. Nothing. She lives in Dallas and I was not going to drive over to dallas without a confirmed date. I told her I would meet her in the lobby of her condo (to take the risk away). She is just a ditz Gracie. But we were lip locked for like an hour Wednesday night and I liked it.
Anyway, she is just a ditz. They do exists you know. But oh so hot. Bathsheba got David into all kinds of trouble because she was so hot too.
If you want to know the real story it can’t be posted
Well, I do want to know the real story. So lets take this “off the record.” Why don’t you email me the real story at my email – gracielynne6@aol.com?
That way if you have anything to tell me that does not have to do specifically with a post it is private. Although I do love your comments on my posts, if you want something to remain personal it is best to use my email. Okay?
That is just sweet.
Gracie, just got home from my second date with Dallas after driving back from Dallas. It was a blast. Dinner, conversation, meeting new people. I met a struggling artist who is very gifted, crashed an open house of a new salon opening, witnessed a Wynn tour bus just wrecking a brand new pick up. We had to stop and write down the license plate of the bus, but first ask a total stranger for a pen, and then stop a Fed Ex driver in the street for a piece of paper to write down all this stuff.. Fortunately the bus driver returned to take responsibility
This is what separates Dallas from all the others. She is right in the middle of the action. It was the same thing with my ex, The ex and Dallas bring the action and excitement to me, I just have to sit back and experience the scene.
Sounds like fun. I am glad you had a good time.
Gracie, had a date with Grapevine on Sunday afternoon. That went very well
I am going to have third date with Dallas this weekend. The problem with Dallas is that I am enthralled by her, which is not a good thing. The chemistry is perfect We have a blast and everyone we meet on the street thinks we are married. It is crazy weird, but exactly what I need right now.
Well, good for you. I am glad things are working out well for you. Take it slow deary.
