Possible First Date...so nervous!

So, I signed up on Christianmingle.com...yeah, I know...not sure why, but I did. I have been talking to a guy that lives about 20 minutes from me. He is older, age 55, with four kids and recently divorced. He was married for 35 years. He seems like such a laid back and easy going person. Compared to some of the other freaks that messaged me on that website he is very respectful and sane. He mentioned something about us going to the shooting range together when it cools off. I said it sounded good. 

OMG< OMG OMG what if I get gas! LOL, I know I am being silly but I am really tripping out. I have not dated in 3 years and then the surgery and now this.  So many things going through my head right now. I am such a hard ass too. I am not real into romance or love. I am very wary of it even. I like being independent. I know this is just a date but it still is scary especially after surgery. 

I mean yesterday I went to the bowling alley and had gas and I crop dusted through the gaming section as fast as I could move. My best girlfriend found me and she said...DID YOU FART back there...It was horrible. LMAO! I could not help it. It slipped out deadly and silent and unwanted. Holy, toledo I need to buy some gas x or something. 

Also, I hope this guy is not to old for me. Just having surgery and losing weight I want to GO GO GO and not slow down. He is over weight and just had his lower back fused. He mentioned he is wanting to get healthy and lose weight. I am seriously over thinking things aren't I? And...rambling like an idiot to my Surgery Sisters. 

This guy is really stable and sweet. He is a CEO of a major medical software company...etc, so we have medical stuff in common. I actually chart on the program he wrote.  

Thank you for listening to me freak out...
 

Good luck!  Relax and Breathe! It will be fine keep us posted.

Haha....I can't even imagine having gone through what we have, then throwing dating into the mix!  I really do admire your energy and outlook on life!  I know, easier said than done, but try to chill and enjoy the fun you're having!  And you never know....maybe he admires a gal with a good fart about her.....

OMG you made me laugh so darn hard this morning that I almost tooted. LOL

 Besides, pretty girls can pretty much get away with anything.....

LOL, 

Go have fun!  I've done some dating the past couple of years, it can be fun if you go into it with no expectations.  As for the gas is there a time that you can control it better, eating something different, etc.

There's a singles board here on OH, it isn't super active but there is some good information there.  And, we always enjoy the stories.

 

Thanks! I will check the singles board out. I just feel so comfortable here with the DSers because I feel like they kinda know me. I feel like sister and brothers with a common cause. I know it prolly is not the right place to post this stuff but they always make me laugh and feel welcome. I will try the singles board too. 

A 55 year old man, married 35 years with 4 kids, overweight, medical condition... probably can't be surprised.  I'm sure he's seen his share, had his share and isn't going to be too critical.  Or at least I hope not!  Especially if he considers himself a Christian.  Have fun and consider it an opportunity to make friends if the dating/romance portion scare you.
