Hello ladies, I dip in and out ocassionally on this thread - I was the one that had the horrible experience, at the start of it.
I was chatting to someone in January that I hadn't meet up with as he went a bit quiet. Anyway, he contacted me about three weeks ago to apologise and said he'd been in hospital. We met up this week. He's not the best looking guy I've ever been out with but, wow, his personality is very engaging. He's witty and well, nice? I liked him instantly and he stretches my mind, as well as one or so other things... I'm a bit of a doubter so the evening ended with a review of his "scar". Anyway, we are arranging date 2. He told me I was attractive, easy to talk to, intelligent and good company. We are more aligned intellectually than some of my other dates so maybe that's where we go wrong sometimes girls.
There's still Mr Old Friend lurking in the background as well as Mr Fling that I spent a number of very pleasurable dates with last year. (He text this week to say he missed me!)
The point of posting is to say to all you ladies that are feeling a bit negative about things this morning, get back out there, cast your nets again and see what "fruits de mer" are on the menu. Have loads of dates with loads of people and don't feel compelled to find the "one" special one, too soon. That's the conclusion that I have come to. I'm not ready to settle for one person at this point in my life and when I'm old(er), I want to look back and remember lots of lovers with a great deal of fondness.
Have good weekends everyone.
