D-Lish Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 I went out on a date last night. He seems like a good guy, slightly geeky, incredibly intelligent, well educated. I am unsure if I am physically attracted to him, but I'm still going to give it a try because there is a little spark there. Strangely enough he's another ginger with the same name as my ex. It's quite strange how we met though...
tigressA Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 Pleeeeeaase spill all the details! Glad you had fun! :love:
Art_Critic Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 It's quite strange how we met though... Back alley while buying a set of speakers from a street vendor ?
Nexus One Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 I'm happy for you D-Lish, I wish you the best. It's quite strange how we met though... Care to share?

Back alley while buying a set of speakers from a street vendor ? :laugh: I'm happy for you D-Lish, I wish you the best. Care to share? Well it was on plenty of fish...Ii saw his thumbnail come up and I clicked on it, but he was looking for an intimate encounter. Looking for a FWB actually. I read his profile and he was very articulate and I was intrigued by what he had to say. He sent me a message saying he saw I had viewed his profile and we started chatting. Not about anything sexual. We just exchanged many long e-mails and finally decided to meet.

What are you looking for? If you're not into a FWB situation you should probably not get too attached to this guy. You're unsure about the physical attraction, but from what else you've said I can see potential for it deepening if you go out with him again.
Author D-Lish Posted October 8, 2011 Author Posted October 8, 2011 What are you looking for? If you're not into a FWB situation you should probably not get too attached to this guy. You're unsure about the physical attraction, but from what else you've said I can see potential for it deepening if you go out with him again. Well, I wouldn't have gone out with him had we not cleared up a whole lot of things before meeting. He admitted to being like a lot of guys, frustrated with the dating scene, wanting a relationship, but never being able to find a compatible partner that could keep up with his sex drive. What's my problem been with the last two guys I dated seriously? A very low sex drive, whereas mine is very, very high. Would I get involved in a FWB with him? No, I would not. I know he'd be interested in dating someone if he met the right girl, and we just decided to meet and see if we clicked. This was after pages upon pages of email exchanges clearing a lot of things up. He was beaming throughout the whole date, and he's been texting me all day.
jerbear Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 Sounds like you made a new friend. I'm happy that you got out and had a date!
Author D-Lish Posted October 8, 2011 Author Posted October 8, 2011 Sounds like you made a new friend. I'm happy that you got out and had a date! It's about time! How is your dating life JB?
jerbear Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 It's about time! How is your dating life JB? My dating life is like finding a dance partner. Yes, I'm looking for a partner in life and dance partner. It is mostly catch and release. I've been focusing on career and taking dance lessons, the latin ones! Figuring out what and where I might be, job interview next week; so my dating life is "catch and release." Plus the woman, who bought me to LS, knows I'm getting "ok", as in good, in Salsa and Swing. I promise I won't "catch and release" you!

Author D-Lish Posted October 8, 2011 Author Posted October 8, 2011 Slow growing spark is good! Hey, he isn't a Habs fan is he? I don't even think he's a hockey fan! He's an academic:laugh: I'll just say some were delicious! :lmao: Filet-o-fish:lmao:
whichwayisup Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 I don't even think he's a hockey fan! He's an academic:laugh: Well, that's better than him liking that team that we beat and shut out in the home opener! Enjoy and just get to know eachother. Does he make you laugh?
ja123 Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 This sounds promising, D-Lish! How old is he? Does he have children? How long has he been single? Keep us posted!
Author D-Lish Posted October 8, 2011 Author Posted October 8, 2011 Well, that's better than him liking that team that we beat and shut out in the home opener! Enjoy and just get to know eachother. Does he make you laugh? I told him friends first, then we'll see from there. Does he make me laugh? Not as much as I make him laugh come to think of it. But we laughed a lot together and he seemed to be in tune with my humour at least. He's passionate about things, I think that's what I like most about him. He's the opposite of my ex in that we can have some down to earth conversations, and we seem to be on the same wave length regarding our thoughts on how important communication is in a relationship. My ex and I only had the same sense of humour and that was it. That's what made it so fun and carefree in the beginning- but unfortunately a rock has better communication skills than my ex! I'm going to see him again tonight after an engagement party I am going to. This sounds promising, D-Lish! How old is he? Does he have children? How long has he been single? Keep us posted! He's 37, no kids, never been married. I don't know how long he has been single for or what the longest relationship he's had. I'll ease into finding that out. But he was cute at the end of our first date, he hugged me and kissed me on the cheek twice and kept saying "wow, I wasn't expecting this".
whichwayisup Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 But he was cute at the end of our first date, he hugged me and kissed me on the cheek twice and kept saying "wow, I wasn't expecting this". He's humble! I like that. D, I got a good feeling about this one.
Author D-Lish Posted October 8, 2011 Author Posted October 8, 2011 He's humble! I like that. D, I got a good feeling about this one. He's humble in a lot of ways- but I think he was trying to impress me with some name dropping.
pandagirl Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 Woohoo! Of course he is smitten. Who wouldn't be with you?
threebyfate Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 Watch out for those intelligent guys. They can sneak up on you and whammo, you just can't do them enough! Have fun, D. Glad to see you out and about.
Author D-Lish Posted October 9, 2011 Author Posted October 9, 2011 Woohoo! Of course he is smitten. Who wouldn't be with you? You're the best:) Watch out for those intelligent guys. They can sneak up on you and whammo, you just can't do them enough! Have fun, D. Glad to see you out and about. Thanks! I saw him again last night. 2nd Date, no physical contact besides a hug and a kiss on the cheek. Taking it slow.
dispatch3d Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 Alright, so now that we got over the wishy washy stuff, how many red flags, where were they, and what will u do? Also, what does it mean, why is he acting like this, and what are you doing wrong?
dispatch3d Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 Also, your ex appears to be very involved in this date, did he go there with you or something?
