BigGirlPantiesOn Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 I met a guy online, been talking for a week or so. First date on Sunday. Casual Italian restaurant owned by a friend. I feel comfortable there since I know everyone. The guy and I have a mutual friend in common, so that's a nice thing. Told him I date very slow these days and I don't trust men so easily. It's my new disclosure, I guess. He is 6'5 so that has me intrigued We both love baseball. It's nice to feel smiley again. We CAN and DO move on, friends. Don't forget it. 6
LuvsTrucks2 Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Congratulations on the first date. I hope you have a wonderful time. 1
Ireallydontknow Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Good luck. I had some online dates too but I just wasn't into the person and I was upfront about my baggage. We're still friends though and I'm going to my first Halloween party with her tomorrow. Must be nice being a girl doing OLD The dates just kinda come your way while I struggle to hold the attention of any woman! Makes me wonder how I kept my exes attention for so long when I met her online. 1
LuvsTrucks2 Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 I have been contemplating OLD since my STBXH left. I was curious as to what was out there for someone my age, etc. The OLD I visited was very creative, in order to look, you had to sign up, which I did. I wasn't on there very long but the responses I was getting were frustrating. It was obvious they didn't even bother to read my profile. I got scared and hid my profile because after all, I'm still married and felt like I was cheating. I also want to mention that I think OLD can be a good thing, that's how my STBXH and I met 10 years ago. I've heard good and bad about it. I still wish BigGirlPantiesOn a wonderful time, it's well deserved. 1
geegee81 Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 Im proud of you! Going on a date is perfect, and helps in the healing processes. It helps you see that there are many other guys out there and you will fall in love oneday. On this date, remember dont talk about your ex! Also dont have any expectations of the date. Your goal is to have fun and mingle. 1

Author BigGirlPantiesOn Posted October 28, 2013 Author Posted October 28, 2013 It was very nice He was very sweet, waited for my outside Starbucks. Kiss on the cheek. I was surprised he was better looking that his photos. Much! It was the typical awkwardness at first. Things relaxed after 30 minutes. He said he was concerned to see if we connected in person like we did over the last week on the phone and in text. I asked him if he thought we did, and he replied with "identical". That was nice. I purposely held back in giving my feeling on it...till he asked. I told him the truth. I agreed with him. He funny, sincere and a challenge. I can tell he would be a man who won't be a "pet" to a woman. I like that...back bone! But he was also very sensitive and said several times he felt a connection. He even did the "flirt touch" a few times: touching my arm and hand. It's nice to have those feelings again. I just have to proceed slowly. Oh and he has seriously gorgeous blue eyes.
geegee81 Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Awesome!! I'm glad that you had a good time and that he was cute I swear that going on a date is a good way to move on with life. It just shows that there are other mates out there.... If our ex's dont want us, we will just find someone new. Just learn from past mistakes and take your time. 1
Salvatore85 Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Well that's awesome BGPO! I'm very happy for you and sheesh I wish I was 6'5" lol 1
crazybestie101 Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 I am sorry but i am not much into online dating. But would like to know which are some good, trustworthy dating websites in United States?
Author BigGirlPantiesOn Posted October 28, 2013 Author Posted October 28, 2013 The one that's worked best for me is match. the free ones are typically skeezy people seeking sex. (My experience, anyhow). You have to weed people out, thats for sure. But I always say that *I* am a decent person so if I am there for a decent reason there must be at least one guy who is too. 2
barky2 Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Glad to hear it bgpo! Ya I have the curse of the baby blues too,they're a sin! Lol Proceed slowly , let things either evolve, or dissolve. You have a great head on your shoulders. Barky
