or not

 There is something wrong with me.

I get taken out for a nice dinner, share a bottle of wine and good conversation.......handsome guy, has his act together, funny.  Nothing wrong.  Even a sick sense of humor......

And .....i feel nothing. 

I mean, i had fun. I like him. 

Maybe it was the talk about all his money and how much he's worth and all his toys and investments.

When i tell you i'm not materialistic, i mean it.  Those things are all great but they can all be gone in an instant.  And they can't give you a full body hug when your world is falling apart......as a matter of fact, it might be BECAUSE of all those things that he is never around because he has to work to keep it. 

Or i'm just stupid. 

Heres' the thing.  Those are HIS things.  Because of that, he may feel he has the upper hand......and without it, he may not be much of a man.   Or maybe hes an incredible man because he's earned all these things with good choices and hard work.

Can go either way.

I honestly didn't think he was interested in me beyond our dinner last night.  It was cold as hell and when we left the restaurant i came as close to i can to a run to my car.  I said "give me a hug, i'm cold" and didn't leave any time or question about anything more than that before i jumped into my car.

He told me to let him know when i got home.  Nice.

He called me as i was walking in the door.  

And we proceeded to have another full out conversation before we were both yawning so much talk was impossible.

Okay?

He texted me early - as he does.  When i woke up there's a message - which i honestly didn't expect.  We go back and forth, i say i'll call when i'm out of the shower.

I am not a morning person.  I don't like talk in the morning.  But he's funny and he gets me laughing. 

So strange because i don't know what's going on here.

I don't know if i even want to go out with him again.

I always find a reason not to date a good guy - and this one is a lot.  He's no pushover.  He's a successful business owner and definelty a guys guy.  He has multiple motorcycles, collects expensive items, 4 sleds, home.......all the "stuff".......

But would he treat me like i matter.

Is he even interested?  I can hear my friends in my head "if he wasn't interested he wouldn't keep texting and calling".

This one is a question.  

We'll see what happens.

I love ChatGPT

 I am extremely transparent with my emotions because i do not have the ability to NOT be.  My only option when i'm having any feelings is to talk in a very low, slow, monotone voice and keep my face as blank as i possibly can. Unless they mean something to me. Unless i care about them and how they treat me.  So while i'm perfectly okay with never seeing or hearing from Mr. Cigar again, in light of his true self unveiling, I am overthinking my expression of emotions to him.   I took this little conversation and put it into ChatGPT with no questions or directions and this is what i got back: This exchange captures a painful and emotionally charged moment. Your initial message was heartfelt, vulnerable, and expressed a genuine desire for connection and acknowledgment. His response, while polite on the surface, carried a sharp undercurrent of blame and finality—deflecting accountability and subtly rewriting the narrative as your fault. Ending it with “safe travels ...

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 ...

Same stuff

 Nothing new to report.   I've been managing my anxiety, trying to, at least.  I know when it's kicking up and i know it's temporary.   Still doing physical therapy, walking, stretching, losing weight VERY slowly.  Not so easy to lose it at my age.  But i have an appointment in September to discuss hormone replacement and i think that may help me out with body aches and lethargy. Mr. Cigar is as busy as ever, yet always manages to make me feel important in his life.  It's been only 3 months and that shocks me a little bit.  Feels like it's been so much longer.  The pace is perfect, and it's nice to not have to make power moves with him.   I need to see my kids.  I think about them daily and know they have busy lives.  But i feel disconnected sometimes.  Same with some of my friends.  It's really hard for me to reach out.  To anyone. And i've also been enjoying my "do absolutely nothing" time. ...
