I have a date! Thursday evening, after work. Nice. 🙂 He said, “it will be nice. Two aging hippies sitting down talking.” I like that thought for a meet and greet. Nice to know he is one too. Seems to be laid back, nice man. He’s a nice looking man, my age.
Another man has been messaging me pretty consistently since last night. Messaged all through my lunch hour today. We spoke tonight for awhile. He was a very nice man, but very non-committal. He has his grandchildren with him for the weekend. Not sure there was any connection there, but it was a pleasant enough conversation. He said in our chat last night, that he was looking for sensual excitement, lol. I said, well…I love that too, but I find I can’t engage without a connection. Connection, not commitment. But I didn’t really feel that based on the call tonight. A nice man, but for a guy who is looking for sensual excitement…would have kind of expected a little flirting. Whatever. Maybe I am just used to S, who was blatant about it.
Anyway, it’s just nice, nice to interact with men. Nice to feel no game playing. It was almost like I let the old thing go, and the new things poured in to fill the vacuum. It’s a nice change.
I seem to be have left alone since Saturday, something for which I am very grateful. Regaining my equilibrium. I’m still picking up my jaw off the floor at the things S said, and things he assumed about me, and things he asked of me. Just wow. Gutsy. Or, unconscionable. A lot of both. But it is what it is, and I let it go. Not my problem any more.
My cousin just called and is coming over for a little while. It will be nice to see her. She has a summer home in Martha’s Vineyard so isn’t around much in the summer. Having some butter crunch ice cream, just a little, dessert after fish tacos. Hmmm.
Nice relaxing evening. Grateful for a lot of things tonight. All things that happen are meant to happen, and I’m good with that. There are no coincidences.
Love and light.

Great things happening!
Cool to have a date. 😊 I hope it will be fun!!
Thanks! A meet and greet, but I think it will be nice. At least I’m getting out there.
1) how are you up right now? Isn’t it like… not even 6 am where you live? 😁
2) This may be my poor understanding of English, but is there any real difference between a meet and greet and a date? 😉
In any case, I hope it will be fun and I think it’s GREAT that you are putting yourself out there. That takes courage, after experiences such as those you and I have had. 💜💜💜
I’m always up early. Never can sleep late, and I feel like I need at least an hour of time to myself before I get ready for work.
No not much difference, except we don’t know each other at all so usually it’s a short date, sandwich or coffee or something, to see if there’s a connection worth persuing. It will be fun. I definitely need some new experiences that will begin to put that last one in its proper small space 😄
I see. 😊 Yes, new experiences! I vote yes when it comes to that!
👍💜
Ha. I was reading in reverse again…I was wondering what survived meant with her comment about “hippies.”
You know we’re all going to be anxious for the story!
