I mentioned in a prior post I am trying online dating. Why not? I have met four guys in person so far from my efforts....
The first: we will call him Blake. Nice guy with a PHD in Physics or engineering. Socially awkward as many brilliant people are. We met at the rock climbing gym. No real connection, but nice guy. Turns out I had actually already met him on a meet-up group hike.
The second: we will call him Todd. He had I had emailed one another some crzy amount of times before meeting. We had talked about so much already it was nice. I was not attracted to him based on his online photos but enjoyed our conversations. The date went well. Better looking to me in person. But he is 11 years older than me and I don't think he is very active. Nice guy though, so when he asked to get together again I said yes.
The third: "Max" and I had great rapport online, cracking jokes back and forth but spoke of nothing of substance. Our meeting consisted of two hours of him telling me about hunting experiences. Ironic being that I am a vegetarian.
It was during this meeting that I felt like a teenager sneaking out of the house. My ex was going to watch the kids and I told him I was going on a hike. Not sure why. I am new at this. So after I left "Max" I pulled into a parking lot and changed into my hiking clothes before heading home. Funny being that I pay the mortgage.
The fourth: "Poo" gets this name because he was the worst. A big bike rider he wanted to meet for a ride. He is also a fireman. And a jerk. I can assume he took one look at me, decided I was a no, and proceeded to ride without care as to whether I could keep up or was comfortable on the road rather than the bike trail. Funny, for someone so particular about looks, he was an overweight, pasty guy with a very high voice!
And so it goes. I figure this is a numbers game. I won't meet just anyone and feel we need to converse quite a bit online before meeting in person.
In the meantime,if you know any great guys.... ; )
