OK, I’ve met someone.
I haven’t met a man I thought I could date in nearly three years. But I met one Friday night. It turns out we’re both regulars at my favorite bar, but we have missed meeting each other for months. His name is Joe. He is a trombone player. (Oh, yeah.) We met through mutual friends, some of whom I’d just met that night. The second we started talking, we just hit it off. Bam, just like that. That’s only happened to me once before in my life. And he’s already called me. None of that stupid three-day rule of when you’re supposed to call someone and ask them out or anything. Or however long “they” say you’re supposed to wait.

It’s funny. I was just whining to GOPisEvil last week about how I don’t understand how people can find someone …. It just goes to show you that you never know who or what is around that corner --- and to never give up or feel sorry for yourself. (Although sometimes I don’t take that advice myself.)

But, I’m not gonna jump the gun and imagine it’s going to be great. I mean we have only just met. But I have a bit of hope. Wish me luck.

7. Don't worry
I'm sure even if, by some miracle, this becomes something. I'll still have plenty to whine about with relationships. :hi:

10. Well good luck. I am happy
you found someone that you are interested in. The exciting part is getting to know someone and those first few dates when you still get those butterflies.

16. Hahahahahah
I'm trying to keep that secret as long as possible. Wouldn't want him to know how crazy I am right off the bat, would I????

But once he gets to know me better, I might come outta the DU closet.

:hi:

15. I'm happy for you.
I hope everything continues to work out. I find myself there's relatively few people I ever seem to fit with on a substantial, multi-dimensional type of level. However, sometimes, I do and then it's pretty neat. :)

To find someone that, so far, you get along with is an amazing feeling.

29. Don't ever follow dating rules
They were written by a person that couldn't get a date even if they paid for it.

Lots of luck.
