I went out for lunch today with a beautiful lady. As posted earlier I don’t usually date women my age. Not that I like YOUNG girls just usually about 5 years younger than I am. That is not on purpose it’s just the way it has been. Now this one, she is 37… my age and really, I have no problem with that. We seem to have a lot in common. We met on an online service and talked for a couple of weeks and bounced dates back and forth before we finally met in person. Today was that day. We just met for lunch after a long, fun weekend. We had good conversation. It went back and forth a lot much like we did online. We sat and talked around 2 1/2 hours. I had fun. I’m pretty sure she did, at least she said so on IM this eve. We talked as I walked her out to her car. A couple of hugs, a kiss on the cheek, a “Call me.” and she was driving off. This eve on IM she seemed distant. Said she was off to bed soon. It was 1 AM so I’ll chock it up to that.

The problem I am having is I don’t know how to read things AT ALL! The way the media seems to portray things now that you get this instant spark. You fall madly and a kiss happens within the first hour. Obviously, I know that’s not how the real world works but it sure makes it hard to read how things are supposed to go. Especially since I’ve been out of the game for 11 years. I’m sure it’ll get easier. I hope it’ll get easier. I guess we’ll see. I’m at least gonna ask her out again. She does have gorgeous eyes afterall.
