I snagged a really cool guy last week and I acutally received a response back in my personal email! I swear - I am mystified on why men do not want to take the plunge to correspond with me when I open my self to contact me in email, etc. Mark, a single father/widower contacted me in email and it was terrific. Until I gave him my land phone, he tried to text message me to meet him for a drink last Friday night. Come to realize it was my land phone. Meanwhile, he received a text message from another lady asking him to meet for drinks. I know all this since I did queue him to call me after that past weekend to connect in person. He is a genuinly terrific guy, gregareous and positive for what he has been through - truly a winner. He did confess that he does not date many women at once so I missed out on my opportunity when he went out with the other lady for a drink instead of me. I am wondering how men think that one date makes him homogenous in the dating scene. Anyway...he said that he wants to date this women and see what happens but wants to keep in touch with me anyway. We did speak for 90 minutes with the circumstances as such. I am not sure if I am impressed or disappointed. I believe he is a people pleaser and I did miss out for not giving him my cell number to be text messaged. Mark states that things happen for a reason. Thinking about this, he states that I wasn't meant to meet him and it was a better deal for the woman who asked him instead. I missed out again - timing is and always has been bad for me when it comes to these relationships! This is the story of my life so I must be waiting for the Cinderella story to climax.
Still working from home this week waiting for a full-time project to start; next week I travel to Winona, MN - great time of the year to be there. I can wear my sweaters that I knitted finally over there. Since I am unable to solve the puzzle of obtaining a mate, I continue to enjoy the beauty around me as much as possible. My bird of paradise plants are blooming like crazy this year. Check out the spider on this one trying to get the sticky sap.
Hummingbirds do fly around these blooms but by the time I get my camera out, they are gone.
Here is Freckles with her typical provacative pose when she rests, yes - she is showing a nipple (click on the photo for close-up).
