a date

[openscarf]

Have you ever said yes to a date just to give yourself a chance, and let yourself and others know you're willihg to try, even though you feel rather certainly that nothing will come of it and it may be excruciating, because you're not sure there is enough common ground and he is all ready calling you hon and acting kind of boy friendy?  And actually said, I'm driving all the way out here to see you.  In the morning you woke wishing you could cancel and now you're waiting for him to come pick you up and you wish very deeply that you had not said yes. And you're hoping he's not weird and you don't get bitchy.

You've pretty much just described my life recently: a series of unremarkable "coffee dates" with guys I was 99% sure I didn't want to go out with. I've got a date today with someone from a dating website. After talking with him once I can't imagine things will move forward. Too many red flags. He rides his motorcycle without a helmet, for one. I love riding on the back of a motorcycle, but NEVER without a helmet.

I hope the evening went better than yhou expected. Let me know.

Thanks for the support! It was better than I expected in that he is very nice, polite, fun. I like him as a friend, but he doesn't hold near and dear what I do-I'm very into body-mind-health and am pretty liberal. I also like an urban environment and all it has to offer. He's a littel opposite in those things. I didn't feel a physical attraction to him. I could be friends with him. I'm hoping he feels that too. He's a sweet man. I met him at the cougar mixer! I just posted about that, LOL

How was coffee? I came to resent "giving" up my Sundays to coffee dates. I'm hoping he was a sexy "bad" but nice guy........let me know.

Just got in. He was nice enough, but extremely boring. He talked almost non-stop about his job and his son. Never asked me anything about my job, or my kids. After a while, I just made appropriate comments and didn't try to really converse. And, I wasn't attracted to him. Ah, well. Another one bites the dust.

that sucks! I've been there before and told myself I would walk out next time. Hope you let him know when you kiss him off in your follow up email.
