2Peas Refugees Single Ladies Thread ... 01/17 ... share!!!

Well, here's how my first week on match went...

I had about 30 likes and 12 messages. The first night I started chatting with 3 guys and after about 2 days they all asked me out. 😳 I decided to meet guy #1 for drinks Friday night and it went fine. I stayed about an hour. Nothing earth shattering but good conversation. He hugged me goodnight and asked to see me again.

On Sunday night, I went to dinner with guy #2. Swoon!!! He was wonderful, sparks flying and the conversation was fun and never ending. We closed the restaurant down and he asked if I'd like to go have a cocktail, that he wasn't ready for the date to end. Of course I said yes. When I finally went to leave he gave me a small kiss and hug and turned to leave, then turn around and gave me a more passionate kiss. My knees were shaking let me tell you! We agreed to meet up the next night and watch the championship football game at a local bar.

Monday night: Same thing, we had a blast watching the game. Easy banter all night long. We went outside for air during halftime and I got another steamy kiss. After the game we just kept talking by my car and more kisses. When he left he asked if he could see me again on Thursday night.

Thursday night: Oh my my my!!! We went to dinner, then drinks, then to his place for a night cap. He was a perfect gentleman the whole night. We did a little heavy petting and he asked me if each step was ok. I could so fall for this guy so I need to be careful. I ended up staying until like 3 in the morning.

Here's the scary thing about him. He's a professional race car driver and a little celebrity like. At dinner there would be streams of people shaking his hand. He said he wanted to show me that part of his life to make sure I was ok with it. And I truly was. I could tell girls were making small passes at him so I asked him why he joined match. He said he was looking for a mature woman that could hold intellectual conversations. Girls he meets are giddy, even the older ones and go glassy eyed over anything more than a how's the weather remark. Heaven forbid try to talk about politics.

He's not racing at the moment, taking a much needed break and so he's fixing up old cars and owns his own garage. His work is amazing. But his whole crazy party type life scares me. I mean, he's going to a cocktail party for the current Ms. America while she's in town tonight. 😲

We are seeing each other tomorrow night. I hope we get busy!!!

I took my profiles down for a bit, but have still kept texting a few men that I matched with before. I don’t feel like any of them are actually going anywhere though, no plans to meet anyone.

Not yet, it hasn’t worked out with our schedules. Maybe this weekend?

Oh brutal... a super hot guy I matched with a while ago but never messaged asked me last night if I wanted to go to the Drake (a really nice hotel and night club in Toronto) with him tonight. Figures! No one ever asks me to do fun stuff like that and I just can’t do that right now.

That guy that asked me out tonight wanted to go dancing at the Drake! I can’t dance! And I have nothing I’d wear out to a place like that anyway.

Does anyone else feel like they need a “date wardrobe”? Not that I’m going to dress like someone I’m not, but I don’t have clothes to wear to places like clubs. Or anything other than dressy work clothes or jeans and plaid shirts. Lol

Oh, I love date wardrobe! I love dressing up and sexy for the right guy. I can't dance, either but I could look good sitting at a table and drinking. 

I call that "chair dancing".  I am the undisputed queen of chair dancing.  No one is better at that than me.  

I am so much cuter in the summer 😂 I hate wearing jeans with tights under, and 2 shirts and a sweater, and boots. I just look bulky and grumpy and do not feel cute in winter. It’s just way too cold- if I wear a cute coat versus the puffy down coat I’ll freeze and I’m not about freezing so the cute is greatly reduced. 

I have a similar problem... I have Raynaud’s disease so my feet and hands have serious problems in the cold so wearing cute shoes from about Oct-May becomes a problem for me. I have to choose between wearing two layers of insulated socks and super warm boots, or wearing cute shoes and being in a lot of pain for several hours.

I used to be able to do that, I just developed this condition maybe 10 years ago. It is annoying.
