Online dating is certainly an adventure. Just when one thinks they have seen most of what it has to offer, life throws in a zinger. POF has decided that one of my matches is **wait for it...** - my ex fiance' - who, by the way, was not actually divorced at the time he asked me to marry him.. Amazingly enough, he is also still 59.. an age he has managed for at least 3 years despite his driver's license listing him as born in 1941! What ever bit of magic does that for a man, I want it too. Holy Smokes!
Now one might also ask why I am back online, given my almost 3 week adventure with the Set-Up guy.. who by the way is very nice. As it turns out he is too nice.. way too nice.. suffocating-ly nice. He also followed me to the gym... my gym.. and signed in as my guest while I was working out. Who does that? Who just feels it is ok to show up as a guest when one has not been invited? Does 2.5 weeks qualify as a relationship and make that ok!? Maybe it is me, but either way.. despite the fact that my mother has reminded me that "at (my) age, I should not expect perfect", I strongly feel that at my age I shouldn't have to settle either.
Life may be good, but today... well, it certainly is throwing me some curves.

1941, huh? Magickal indeed. I agree, don't settle. No one should settle for less than " Mr. Perfect for me" And, let's be honest…that's who everyone is looking for. People have thier oddities. The true magic is finding the unperfect person you can care enough for to look past all that.
ReplyDeleteYeah, okay...that was kind of creepy and weird..And you're perfect, just the way you are.
ReplyDeletethanks to both of you.. you know, after 2 failed marriages - because 'less than perfect' should be ok, I have figured it out.. 1) I don't have to be married to be happy, and 2) I am too damn old to argue with myself over what I can and cannot live with or like... it either "tastes good" or it doesn't. I'm not "eating" what I don't like anymore... even if someone else tells me it is "good for me"... LOL
