Part time job

 okay, so far i haven't secured a date for the third week in January.  Damn it.  I cannot break my streak.

I have made this my part time job.  I plan on succeeding.

It amazes me how wishy washy so many men on the dating sites are.  I'm not back up girl.  Ask me out and meet me or GTFO.

If he doesn't have time to meet, he doesn't have time to date.  And if he does have time and he isn't making it? He's not interested.  Delete.

Can I say I'm interested in any one of these men?  No.  I haven't met them.  I'm putting myself out there to find out.  The hardest lesson was not wasting time "getting to know" these men and when you finally meet it's a definite no. 

Just get out there. Stop being a weenie.

THIS is dating for me in 2025.  I don't want to hear your history, your job, your interests.......I don't care.  Tell me when we are sitting face to face.  Then I might care.

People are scared.  Everyone is beaten up and gun shy.  Everybody has a history.  Let's talk about NOW.  

Let's talk about retirement dreams even if they seem out of reach.

Yesterday the group I'm in on facebook told me I'm a rockstar because I've had 2 first dates already this year.  My response was that they could too if they stuck their neck out there.  Women started sending me stories of horrible first dates.......

So..........i am now officially collecting first date horror stories from people over 50, women AND men.  Add that to my 2025 part time job.  And at the end of the year, if I have something I can actually mold into a book.......

Why not?

Let's talk about Mr. Racecar

 I admit it.  I am a little bit excited about meeting Mr. Racecar.   He's younger- 53 He's taller, and bigger than me He has tats, bald head and long beard He builds cars/trucks and drag races - own his shop which is attached to his home.  ONE is a Camaro.  It sounds NASTY. He lives an hour away Now......here's what happens in my head:  What the hell could this man possibly see in me?  Why would he want to meet me?  He- owns a Harley but hasn't ridden it in a few years due to a car accident that left him unable to walk again until recently. He is a typical male in that some of his talk tries to lead me down the "lets talk about sex, baby, lets talk about you and me" side of things, which I have successfully diverted without him losing interest. I'm looking to date, to find the man I want to have a relationship with, not a situationship. And then I had to explain what a situationship is because he has only just started dating again, and he is ...

I danced.

 This past Saturday night i revisited what it felt like to be the zero fucks ME.   I had talked myself out of going out that night.  I dragged my ass around the house and thought of every reason to text my girlfriend an excuse about why i wasn't going out. I had many valid reasons.  Putting on real clothes, trying to make myself attractive, going somewhere i've never been all by myself to walk up to a man i've been talking to, but haven't ever met face to face.   Okay, Mb.  Just put on your sassy pants and go do it.  Nothing to lose, everything to gain.   But PJs.   No.   On my way I get a text from my gf, she's running late.  When i get to the venue I ask her "how late" and she says about 1/2 an hour. She's picking up our other 2 girlfriends. Do i sit out here in the car for half an hour like a baby when his gig starts in half hour, or do i go inside by myself (getting used to that) and find him, say hello ...

Secrets

 Yesterday I found myself telling someone something about my life that I had not planned on sharing.  We don't really talk too much about our past relationships.  We aren't there yet and i don't know that it's really important.  It's not a race to the finish line.  There is time.   This was just the natural time to share the information. I have very few regrets in my life, some things i may have done differently, but even so, without regret.  Everything has brought me to who i am today.  This got me thinking of how much I've changed, that i would not even put the energy into defending anything I've done because i don't have to, and because i don't want to, or need to.  This also brought to mind how often judgement used to rule my world, and how I felt about myself. I married very young, to my high school boyfriend.  For many reasons, all i ever wanted (in my wisdom of 21 years) was to get married, have babies, and live happily ever ...
