I'd much prefer to jump ahead a month or so to the part where we're just beginning to explore our physical compatibility, and we feel comfortable enough to expose our real selves by wearing sweats and NOT wearing makeup.
It's all easier said than done though... because my biggest problem has always been FINDING someone to date. I'm sort of tempted to go back to the online dating thing (with which I've had off-and-on success, albeit short-lived)... but the recent trial of the guy who was accused of raping his dates freaks me out.
From ABC.com:
"A man who told dates he met online tall tales of being a doctor, an astronaut and a CIA assassin was convicted Wednesday of two counts of sexual assault but acquitted of raping several women who accused him of drugging them. Seven women, six of whom Jeffrey J. Marsalis met through the Match.com dating service, told similar stories of blacking out or becoming unusually intoxicated during dates from 2003 to 2005..."
Ideally I'll meet someone along the way, as I live my normal life. You know, like through mutual friends and such. It's the only true way to have a guy's "papers" so the above is less likely to happen. But that has only ever really worked for me once. I met a guy at a friend's party, and it turned into the longest relationship I've ever had.
And you know what they say -- it only takes ONE. It's true. I only need one! One guy to fall in love with. One husband. One possible father to my kids.
It's definitely incentive to wait it out again and hope to meet someone the old fashioned way rather than going back to the online thing.
I continue to be undecided about it. Any advice??

Stop dating anyone who makes you feel bad. There are so many out there
that would treat you the way you deserve. So get up the courage and
walk away and then start dating someone new or lots of someone news.
Good advice, thanks! I did just write to new "news" online. Not sure I'm ready for it, but nothing ventured, nothing gained. I'm ready to gain.
Wow - you gotta wonder about someone who would choose to meet up with a person claiming to be an assassin for the CIA.

Amen. I'm trying the Match thing but so far, not much. Not sure I'm the type that will work well in the online meeting game, though.
Oh - and you found my flickr account (through my brother's or Snado's, I assume), which is why I was seeing who evinglenside was.
I like your photos.
Cheers!
