Hold On, Wait, Okay... Now Things are Still Unclear

Sunday’s event never came. Not for the lack of a legitimate cause but at the same time nothing else has happened since either. Ironically or maybe appropriately I find my recent dating experience with someone who has more difficulty getting time alone than even I did a few months ago.

Always the eternal optimist I had not cast this opportunity aside, but I was kind of figuring nothing more was to come of it. Then, she calls as I’m typing this up. Go figure. Yes, I indeed have found a woman who can both match and potentially outperform me when it comes to lifetime drama. Again, go figure.

I do like talking to her though. She seems to enjoy the same. Life throws its curves and I’m thinking that a situation where things are forced to develop slowly might actually be the most appropriate for my first “out of wife” experience in over 15 years.

I’ll try to keep you all posted on things as they develop.

A Bit About the Date

The date went just fine. Luckily I looked at the sign of the restaurant I was walking into and realized it was the wrong one and managed to make it to the right one more or less on time.

All in all everything went really well. We have a lot in common and conversation never ran short. I had been straining all week to remember the details of her face. The whole event last Saturday was a bit of a blur. Last night though it all came back. We were a bit constrained for time since she only had a baby sitter for so long. Ironically I was not. Go figure…

We might have lunch on Sunday.

This Time, it's for Real.

I have a dinner date for this Thursday night. No, a real one. She smiled at me, rather earnestly. I doted around like an idiot for a while but eventually made it around to introducing myself and asking her to have coffee with me. All while at Target and both of us with kids in tow. Lucky I still have that behemoth of a vehicle…

Okay I’m getting a little ahead of things. We talked last night for a while. It went well. She is aware of my situation and I am of hers. She’s pretty. I cleaned my closet and it was like the biggest project I’ve taken on in years and I’m not sure if the two events are related or not.

So, given our limited history and a successful call on Saturday, none on Sunday, do I call tomorrow? Hold off a bit? Wait until Wednesday night? I can’t find a dating manual to fit my situation and lack of experience. Eh, I’ll wing it.
