    Ok ladies...The guy I was just telling you about the other day, he is slightly older than me, really nice, we were supposed to finally meet tomorrow night. Well we've been texting daily for the last week or 2. He always texts in the morning or afternoon. We were talking in new years eve, and he text happy new year at midnight. Yes I'm old I had dozed off :) so yesterday I didn't hear from him, I text him and said hope you're having a great day, no answer..... Now what? :(

    DF - this is a crazy time of the year and I'm sure he's busy.  I like the guys who contact me on a regular schedule like am and pm - I'm a little type A, but I've learned to relax... You will hear from him I'm sure. 

     Have fun on the date....

    I am a little type A as you say it too ;) lol,,, we've talked so much it's odd for him not to initiate contact then not to respond. I figured I may text him this morning or just wait to hear from him??

    I was leaning that way but wanted to see what you ladies thought :) He did text back and said he went to bed early last night and has a small job today. Not too chatty but he is working so we'll see. I am emailing a couple other guys off of match and plenty of fish. I find if funny they want to email and get to know you, they say, but don't really ask any questions. Hard to carry on a conversation?

    yes, i'm not a huge fan of texting.  to confirm details, fine.  but in the beginning, it's really not a good way to keep in touch.

    Exactly, as the relationship goes on it is more of a way of staying in touch like through out the day to say hi or a quick thinking of you, on my way etc... I don't like it at all for the main or only form of communication. Especially when having a serious conversation.

    So I've been emailing a few guys, one wants to have dinner Wednesday. We emailed a few times on match.com, then personal emailed back and forth this morning and he called today and we talked for about 25 minutes or so. He said we'd talk before then if I wanted to, so I did follow up with an email tonight and just said thank you for calling and that I looked forward to Wednesday. The other guy who I was mentioning earlier that I was supposed to meet tomorrow night, didn't hear from him hardly at all today which is bizarre. He text an hour or so ago and asked if I worked today, I said no I sure did not :).... and no response. Odd... I guess he's decided to persue other girls. Another really nice guy has been emailing me and he too is not a fan of modern technology and would prefer to communicate over the phone in person (same as the guy I'm meeting Wednesday)

    Update the one i thought blew me off was just buried this weekend he said. He owns his own flooring and construction business and he was working all weekend on his year end books and accounting crap. He still wants to meet up, so between him, the other guy wednesday and 1 next week I'd hope to at least get a 2nd date.

    So sorry for the losses of the beloved pets.  I am thinking about you all and wishing you blessings in the new year!  Had a great day yesterday with FRANKLIN, my new guy and we are having a blast together.  Went camping on New Year's Eve, and under the stars it was the best!  I am so grateful that I met him. Love to all of my bc sisters! xo

    I'm not feeling it for tonight with the guy. He's been really not talking much lately when he was before the weekend. Seems a little off to me, realistically he lives 40-50 minutes away too....

    kward...any special occasion?

    DF...40-50 minutes away doesn't seem that bad to me.  I know you'll give it a fair chance...sometimes happiness sneaks in through a door you didn't know you left open.

    I guess it isn't super far, but... I guess I'm trying to predict how things could go and "future" when I don't even know if there would be a 2nd date. Silly me...

    Just have fun tonight !  I know Guys get anxious too, so, maybe thats it.  Kward, nice gift from firefighter, sounds good, and very thoughtful !  I had nice New Year with D-man, nice dinner and movie at home.  Then rescue lady brought over dog for me to keep for a couple days, so far so good, but forgot how much work pups were.  She's 2,  but sooooo much energy !  Not like 17 year old dog I was used too !  LOL, No I'm having fun with it and getting LOTS of exercise in the process..........

    So I just got home... He was a really nice guy, a couple awkward silences. Not sure if we'll go our again, time will tell!

    Hello all.   I'm sorry to those that have recently lost pets (or ever for that matter), I know how much it hurts to lose our furry kids.   My golden for the past few days has not been herself and is limping badly.   Tonight, I gave her some asprin so I am hoping it gives her some relief.  

    Woohoo kward - the edible arrangements sounds delicious and such a wonderful surprise.  The fireman sounds promising!  Dragonfly, I hope the date went well tonight.  lovemyfamily - what a great time that must have been camping on new years eve!

    The guy I've been dating called me tonight.  He's been out of town and comes home tomorrow.  Hopefully we'll be getting together Thursday evening.

    Edible arangement said "thinking of you" - we have had 2 dates....Went our with another guy last night but even though we had great conversation, I don't think he likes me.  I'm used to a guy asking for another date at the end.... and he did not.  Doesn't matter bc I think I stick with the firefighter for awhile...

    DF...I've learned that some silence is okay.  I used to try to fill all silences and I think that's not a good idea.  Kward...how nice; I'd stick with firefighter and see how it goes.  That's really cool.

    I haven't heard from Steve (we went out for drinks and appetizers last Fri. night).  Go figure...he seemed quite interested.

    Yes silence is ok, I need to learn that :) Seems so awkward on a 1st date? I was supposed to go out with the other guy tonight, but I emailed to see if tomorrow would work. I just told him yesterday was crazy, had to work late etc... He had originally said any day worked ok. I just have to juggle it all with being a single Mom. I was gone for 2 hours last night working late to make up time from leaving early last week, got home and made cupcakes and we took the puppy for a walk then it was after 9:00! I hate to be gone again tonight so hopefully that's not a problem :( I told him I could still do tonight if Thursday wouldn't work.

    Talked to another guy last night for a bit, he seems really chatty, but nice and has his #*$% together! He started right out of college working and retired from that and is now working for ODOT, owns his house, and just seems like a good guy. He was married before but no kids... So we'll see.

    Wonder why you didn't hear from Steve? That's odd to me, you'd think they could at least say no thanks or something? I hate that, it seems common courtesy is gone. Maybe he's just taking his time and with the weekend, did you normally talk to him often? 

    There is one guy I met on one of the sites, we emailed back and forth and text some and he wanted to meet but I hadn't been able to make it work. It's strange he hasn't asked again, and he still texts, but it's a random text every couple days. Saying hi, hope you have a great day was thinking of you. I will respond then nothing for another couple days. What the heck is the point? I told him the other day, I don't know why you text me, when it doesn't seem like you really want to get to know me just like to send random texts. He apologized, and said he had been so busy with his boys and Christmas etc... But he's still just that, a random texter! Annoying!

    Julieanna, hope your dogis okay.  And hope you see your great guy on Thursday !  Yes kward fireman sound like a great guy, very thoughtful, and I can tell theirs a spark there !  twoputter I hope Steve calls you soon.  I know its hard waiting.  Dragonfly I'm glad your getting out their again.  Line un up girl !  Sounds like your meeting lots of nice men, maybe one of them will "click".  Good Luck.. Well, Pup is wearing me out !  LOL,  She's a great dog, but soooo much energy !  She drags me around on the leash and keeps trying to get out of my back yard into my 10 acre field.  I'm afraid she'll get out there and get hurt.  I have a very curious llama, no other livestock at this time, but all it takes is on kick, so I'm very concerned.  But she is one of 3 rescues I'm interested in.  So may take her back today, not sure its safe for her here.  But she is adorable.  Oh, she also keeps going after my cat.........Hugs, Kiley

    Whoa.  This really cool guy contacted me on Match.  He's into yoga and cooking and he mentioned having vegan cheeses in his refrigerator.  It's like he read my mind!  of course, I'm leaving on Friday evening.  But that's OK - I'll only be gone for 2.5 weeks - he'll be here when I get back.

    And I scheduled my exchange - Feb 2.  Whoo hoo!  Smooshy boobs for everyone!
