10 Days and What?

Okay, its been 10 days since I last posted. Dating is only really fun, I think, when there are lots of fish interested in you. And good fish, like Rainbow Trout... not suckers. Not maybe even catfish (they can be mean).

Oh, and the thought of moving - always on my mind. Not only are there attractive men ELSEWHERE, there would be MANY attractive single men elsewhere.

My lovelife is like my thighs are right now... sunburnt and dried up. It cannot go on like this.

So I bought the book "Act Like a Lady, Think Like A Man." Sometimes I have troubles acting like a lady, and I usually always think like a woman.
Will see if it helps me at all!

Stop ME!

Goodness me....someone needs to STOP me. I have spent MORE time, online, reading...okay LOOKING and then reading. Enough! I know it will happen, though I do know I can't sit at home and "wait" for it to happen (so thus, get online). Oh my.

Its been a very busy week for me; aside from my lunch date ...that with a fair amount of reflection, the guy STRUCK out before we ever sat down for lunch. You don't sit with "friends" on a first date; I do NOT care how nervous you are. We are all nervous.

And then in the process of it all, I have some fear that I alienated myself from the guy I have met, have IM with, and do like.... NO, I did not confess undying love for him. I at least have some pride left. Maybe scared him off?

I told a friend "I suck" when it comes to men, to flirting. She suggested I change that to my "headline" and see just how many frogs I got with it!! I said, "I'd probably even attract lizards."

As for the guy above, while there has been no correspondence since Thursday morning... you can usually find out who is "checking you out," and so far....we're even. He's likely to get, though.... a little shock, by the time the weekend is over. While getting my nails done, I had a bit of a naughty thought. Nothing obnoxious or obsene....just something I haven't seen yet (online) and something he probably will not be expecting. So maybe my flirting skills aren't sucky.... they just need toning.

I'm thinking of sharing my blog with more people; including some guys I went to high school with. Time will tell.

For now, I really need to do something besides sit at my computer.

Thanks for reading!

Use 'Em and Lose 'Em???

Had a lunch date yesterday with a guy who said he was good-looking - I knew better than to believe that yet I...was hoping. The last guy that told me he was cute...said he looked like Bruce Springsteen. Yes, about 50 times removed.

I suppose the guy wasn't ugly; he was nervous, now that I think about it. I tend to just sit back and watch, when it isn't maybe what I had hoped. And I JUST realized that is what I do.

So the guy I'm really attracted to, at the moment, is ... of course.... a player. Always attracted to a player. Those bad boys. Hm. So do I use him and lose him, too? I do not know. In the meantime, he is fun to flirt with - BIG FUN; cute as hell; and the only player I've met with a really great job.

Other than learning some things about me (too), along the way, one thing I am truly learning is that I want someone better than I have had. If he is an entreprenuer, I want him to be a SUCCESSFUL one. I can't handle those that have tried too many "adventures" and still coming up with muck.

Are ALL the Cute men in Colorado???

Good Evening,

Men can be SO FRUSTRATING. They say "I don't play games," but THEY DO. They don't call, they "pull away" just when you think they like you. Not that anyone has necessarily pulled away because as you know, I have no one to pull away from me.

That being said, from what I've experienced thus far, 99% of the cute men... 99% the men that you would REALLY pant after, are in Colorado.

Some man, who's stringy, oily, long, gross looking hair that is hanging in his face starts off with "I can't spell, I need a babysitter, you probably don't want me ... BUT"

NO BUTS. Your picture SAYS it all, baby. Gross. Just Gross. And tell me, am I nice? Well, I'm nice in that I haven't said anything to this guy. Still, REALLY?

Oh....oh...oh.... this blog may be for my benefit more than anyone else, as I can come back to it when it appears that the fishing hole has dried up!

Anyways, I have work to do. I can't just sit here, drinking beer and eating chips and salsa...though sometimes I really REALLY want to.

Toodles!

Weekend Update: Princess!

Okay, I forgot one fellow.... Some apparently half Italian/half American guy named Evans. He's a widow. Cute as anything - dark and handsome. But OH MY... actually we have a lot of the same interests. I was going to say we have a lot in common - that is not the same as having the same interests. I really don't think so.

Anyways... dark and handsome.... a couple inches shorter than me (it would bother me. I would like to think it wouldn't, but it does).... and he kept referring to me as ... PRINCESS. I can handle "babe, darlin, sweetie.... even 'honey' " but not.... Princess. That makes me want to truly CHOKE someone.

Weekend Online!

Oh Dear...what a weekend... of fun, I guess. I'm actually online to meet someone REAL, not be a "special friend," though I did find a guy who - I don't know, I like. His name is Phillip. And his "intro" is a little confusing, I would say. For the most part, I would just say he's looking for a Friend with Benefits - however he is VERY particular as to what kind of person that Friend IS!

I have actually met quite a few people with no teeth - and yes, that bothers me. It may be good at times that they have no teeth; though those times can be good too, with teeth. So.... please. What part of my intro says "I like men with NO teeth, 50 lbs. over weight, and bad health?" I'm pretty sure I do not have that anywhere!

Then I did get kind of a happy "hit" for me. A guy who on one site, hasn't given me the time of day...on a "paying site" though... I got a rather happy note. He'd been outside all day (with his tomatoes) and came to check the internet..and there I was! He's apparently a GOOD LOOKING tall guy who knows what he wants. And that is one thing that I want, well, 3. I want good looking (to me) and someone who knows what he wants, realizes that his wants can come in short/tall, blond/brunette, etc. as well as a gardener (and someone that is a great gardener is a plus).

On another note, though, a bald ~ kind of toothless wonder ~ did tell me I had a great smile. I would be lying if I said that did not boost my moral.

So that is my post for the weekend. It IS time for bed. And I do want to go to bed; just don't want to go to work, tomorrow!

Thanks for reading.

Intro to Date Line

Dear Friends,

I thought of setting up a blog page after seeing the movie "Julie and Julia," and if you haven't seen it, I do recommend it. Especially for loving men. It is a tribute to loving, supportive men, as well as Julia Child's.

That being said, Date Line, basically, is my adventure to finding what I hope to be the Love of My Life.

Date Line grew out of my most recent beginnings of "online" - not quite dating. Meeting men online.

Personally, I'm tired of the loser at the end of the bar with a few teeth missing thinking I'm his next filly. I deserve better than that. As most people do (because there are women that have the same defaults). I'm educated. I'm smart, and pretty, and worthy of a true fella. And I have all the necessary teeth (more on that later)

Anyways, I was sharing earlier this week with a friend from high school (and we weren't even best friends in high school) of my search for love in my life. And as I was sending her a message, I thought, "Date Line." What a perfect name for a blog like this. And truth be told, I do love to "write," type....anything with the written word.

So we will see how it goes. I hope it to be something of pride.

Toodles for now,
Poppy
