GP....A Night Owl? or a Crazy Bird?

GP has called several times for us to meet or I should say go dancing. I'm not going dancing, which means meet him somewhere at 9:30 at night. The only time he calls is when he's on his way out or already somewhere. It's like I'm a last minute thought. No, thank you. I keep telling him we have to meet first. It's been a few days since I've heard from him so maybe he realizes that we have to meet first and then see how it goes. And that's not what he's interested in.

What is wrong with MEN??

Is it just me?? Or does someone calling at 11:30p wanting to meet seem a little odd to you. GP had called around 8p and we had a good conversation. We made plans to meet on Sat night. Then he calls at 11:30p and says he's at 51st & Yale and did I want to meet him? UHHHH!!!NO I DON'T. He said he had good intentions but his timing was off. I don't think I'm getting out of bed meeting a stranger at 11:30p.
When he called earlier he said he worked this weekend but he got off at 9p and we could go dancing. I could pick the place. I said ok at the time but now I've realized we need to go back to just meeting somewhere earlier before we go dancing. We need to see if we even like each other after we meet in person. Then we can talk about going dancing. Yeah, then we can talk about doing other things. Let's just meet first.
I have meet people after enjoying conversations on the phone and then realized when meeting that there was no connection or attraction. So it's best to just meet in well lighted, lots of people around for that first time.

GP...I can be an idiot!

I'm off the dating site which means you 'hide' your profile so no one can see it. Remember GP that had called on Saturday. Well he called yesterday afternoon and we really had a good conversation. We were thinking about meeting last night but I had to chuck that idea because of my nails. Yes my nails...that's another story. Anyway I didn't remember that until I was driving and saw my nails so I thought no meeting anyone with these nails and Grace and I usually go to church on Wed. Well he called me back later in the evening. We were talking and he asked me if I liked to dance. Be still my heart! I said what?? Could he have said dancing?? He said again dancing. Do I like to dance!?! Of course I like to dance. So I very cool said yes and what kind of dancing are you talking about? He said swing! Be still my heart! Of course I like swing...hey i'm the one that went to Dallas and took dancingt lessons.
Then he said do you like boating? I again said what? He said again Boating? Be still my heart! Of course, I like boating. I'm the one that wants to live near the lake. He has a boat, house near the lake but building one next year. We talked some more and decided yes we needed to meet. So we might try tonite. He's going to call later. Meeting will tell alot. You can like someone on the phone but meeting them in person is a whole different ballgame. And I mean that. So we will see.

Off the Dating Site

I've decided to take a break from the dating site and concentrate more on me. I have so many things I want to do. I'm not sure how long I will take this sabbath and I may change to another site. I've scheduled some events with the meetups this weekend. I do that and then change my mind on going. I want to get my hair cut. I need a change

What the Heck??

Well GP called and it was kind of a weird conversation. Right in the middle of the conversation, and I mean I'm talking, he says you seem like a nice girl and I had better let you go. I'll call you tomorrow and we can meet. He didn't call back. So was it something I said?? I can be weird. I can let things like this drive me crazy. He could have gotten busy. Right? Oh well I'm not going to let it bother me.



MG sent me a long email about wanting to see me more often and him sensing that I'm not wanting the same thing from him. I'll have to email him. So sad. The one that wants you is not the one you want.

UPDATE 1/13/10
MG sent me another email after I emailed him begging to let him come into my life. I'm sorry I just can't see wasting his time if there is nothing there.

GP never called back. And I'm ok with that. If he thinks he knows me by a 2 minute ramble and decided I wasn't the one he wanted to meet. Then I don't need to meet him.

My Date with MG

We went to a local Pasta Wharehouse and I enjoyed my meal. Conversation was good. Then we went to the play Legally Blonde. It was very good. MG had got tickets in the nose bleed section. After climbing 8 flights of stairs I again realized how out of shape I'm in. He kept telling me this is not where I ususally buy tickets. After the show he brought me home. I'm just not feeling it. If you're not feeling it you can't force it. Right??

While I was out with MG, GP left a message wanting to meet. I'll talk with him on the phone first and see if we want to meet. We have emailed each other so the next step is the phone. Gosh!! I hate first time on the phone or for that matter first time meeting. I usually meet someone at a restaurant that way they don't know where I live and I can get home. I had a guy one time wanting to meet at a park and I was like no I don't think so. Parks at sunrise or dusk with someone I don't know is not going to happen.

Dating

Tonite I have a date with Jerry. I will only use a made up name to protect the innocent. They are innocent you know. Innocent in that they don't know me. Or don't know me well.

I hate this whole dating thing. I hate meeting someone new. I met Jerry off a dating site. Yes, a dating site. My son hates that. He said it was like buying a used car off the internet. I'm not sure about that. Do you ever really know someone?? Think about it. How am I suppose to meet someone if I don't go out to bars?? I've thought about it alot. I've joined meetups. More on that on another post.

Well anyway we are going out to dinner and a play. I've gone out with Jerry before. I'm not just well lets say attracted to him. Don't get me wrong I know looks aren't everything but there has to be some kind of chemistry. Doesn't there? Jerry is very nice and I didn't have the heart to say no. I have ISSUES I know.
