Update on dates

Yes...dates...plural.

I've had so many pm's asking about Friday's dinner, I thought I'd post here a brief response.

Friday night did not go as I had hoped.  I did not walk away with a boyfriend or even a possibility of one.  But I did deepen a friendship with a man I love and adore and need in my life.  This is a man I can confide all my dreams, fears, shames and joys to.

Tonight (Tuesday) I had dinner with the "flame" from work...(yes, a different man). It was fun. We laughed, we shared.  I finally know where he fits into my life.  I kept going back and forth between friend and boyfriend.  He's a friend too.  We are complete opposites on things that are important to me, things I can't or won't bend on.  So much so, that it rules out anything other than friendship.  This is a man that makes me laugh.

I'm sad that my only 2 possibilities both turned out to be nonpossibilities.  But I am happy to report that I've become closer to both men and am feeling very blessed to have them in my life, each in a different capacity, but both impact my life positively.  But still sad nonetheless about what I had hoped for.

So, thanks everyone for your well wishes and sorry I don't have any thing really interesting or juicy to report. 

Glad you had a nice time on both of your dates. I bet your next dating report may include more "juicy" details. Are you on a singles website or how do you meet people, aside from the man at work?

We'll see what the future brings.  Right now I'm not feeling like there's any possiblilities out there for me.  I've known both men for years.  The Friday night guy - 6 years - we met at church.  And the work guy - 7 years.  I'm not on any websites.  I went on one for a month and hated it.  It's just not for me.  I think it works great for others, but not for me.  I really like the idea of being friends then dating.  It just feels safer to me.

So, I really don't meet any guys.  I mean, these are the only 2 single guys I know (well, I do know of some others, but don't know them well- if that makes any sense).

So glad you enjoyed yourself on your dates and very pruod of you for staying strong on your beliefs.

Thank you Dana.

I'm hoping that God will place the right man in my path.  God knows I want a sweet, gentle, loving, Christian man and I'm praying that man finds me.

How have you been????

AMEN Sister!!

I have been swell, thanks!!  Have a great day!

Hi Deb!

We both want the same thing in a guy--of course, good looking and wealthy would be nice bonuses!

I will be praying that God hears us both!

I'll make you deal...if I find one first, I'll see if he has a brother, cousin, friend for you.  You do the same for me!

Love ya,
debi

You've got a deal, Deb!!

It's good that you're putting yourself out there and trying to meet the man of your dreams.  I also appreciate that you know what you want and aren't going to settle for something other than that.  I bet if you keep up with this you will find what you're looking for in no time - and you'll have some developed some great friendships along the way.
