matchdate#1&2

Good weekend...can't complain...was able to reconnect with the Pea after what seemed like two weeks apart. Things have been so hectic and crazy, and because she spent last weekend with her dad, it seemed like we were drifting. She gets really fussy when she doesn't get her mommy time, so I made every attempt to just hang, and cuddle, and play. I did take a few hours out for myself for my Matchdate#1 though...it went well.

First off, he showed...so already better than previous attempts at dating. Second, he was pretty much exactly as I had expected. I have heard so many horror stories of people being NOTHING like their profiles I was ready for anything, but he was handsome, fit, and nice, so I was pleased. We had a good meal, talked for a few hours, and then he hugged me goodbye at my car. Not much of a spark, but he was kinda sexy, and very nice, so who knows.

I have Matchdate#2 tomorrow and am wicked excited, and very nervous at the same time. I already broke my "not gonna talk on the phone (other than to plan/coordinate a date) or do a million emails before we meet" rule. I really want to meet these guys in person cuz I am a gut girl...yeah, that didn't sound right...what I mean is: I get a feeling for people right off the bat, if I trust my gut, and I am rarely wrong. The problem is: if I end up liking a guy because we have great email and phone conversations, and then when I meet I get a bad gut reaction, I may not trust my gut, and that will get me in trouble. PLUS...even if he isn't a bad guy, if I really like his online personality and then in person he is a real dud, it will be a bummer.

I vowed when I started this to exchange ONLY a few emails, a brief phone call, and then meet. LOL...Matchdate #2 and I have 31 emails between us and an hour long phone call...tomorrow night should be interesting.
