Continuing again

So we broke up. He decided he wants to move to Florida to be with his family which I can totally understand given how close i am to my family. He even asked if I would be willing to move - I am not! Anyway, the more I think about it the more I am sure it would not have worked out in the long run anyway so I am not crying a river. It was just nice to have someone to be my plus one.

Gardens by Moonlight was quite nice. Our little group was the perfect size although next year it would be nice to stop and listen to the music and it would be great if everyone was on time!!!

Playing Bunco next Friday - I am such an old lady but it is fun and we do play for money!

Saturday is my Durex party and I am looking forward to that. My package went missing but I am sure they will send another one and then I will be able to share Durex products with my friends. Yeah for condom parties!!!

Next weekend it is off to Dallas to see my sister and my good friend and attend the State Fair. It has been 4 or 5 years since we went last but you have to love Big Tex.

Weekend after that is my cousins baby shower. I am happy for her but she is I think 5 or 6 years younger and is already married and having a baby. A little jealous of the baby part but not the marriage. I do rather enjoy being single. Although an extra income would definitely be nice.

Anyway, I will have to fill in the details about all of these events at a later date...

Continuing

So been back for about 3 weeks now and have been nothing but busy!!! I had something going on almost every night since I have been back. I even took a weekend and went to visit my bestie with the guy I am dating and we even brought along her son. We spent the day at the museum and then went fishing which was actually totally relaxing. I am perplexed now though. We are continuing to see other people but I am not sure I want to do that anymore. Also, he is considering moving to another state in the near future. So I have to decide what I want to do soon or else I am going to end up getting hurt badly!. I really like this guy but I am torn as to what I want. This is just such a strange situation all the way around and I am in a place I have never really been before.

New boots

So I go my new boots! They are awesome. So Stonehenge was alot smaller than I imagined but impressive none the less. Laycock village was also great, Slughorn's house was a treat. Overall, Bath was a wonderful place to visit and I would not mind going back there to stay a few days next time I am in England.

London was perfect, the weather finally was agreeable and the city is amazing. I am all theatred out now - 4 shows in three days! I finally got to see Wicked, then Love Never Dies (not as good as the original Phantom but still good), The 39 Steps, and finally Private Lives with Kim Cattrall (she was great). We also did the requisite site seeing and spent half a day in the British museum. I already want to go back, but I think the next trip will have to have Paris is it since I am going through withdrawl!

Dr. Who and other stuff

So OMG, saw the Dr. Who exhibition in Cardiff!!! I am a total Dr. Who nerd. I was so happy it was actually kind of sad. I also saw Cardiff Castle - awesome -, the Millenium Center, and Tinturn Abbey. The day in Wales was definitely a great one. Today we did Gloucester Cathedral, Avebury which is larger than Stonehenge, the Cathedral at Wells, and then the Glastonbury Tor (it is HUGE). We arrived in Bath this evening and had a wonderful meal. Just took a bath in a claw foot hip tub - I highly recommend them! We are off to Stonehenge tomorrow and then the Baths! Also new boots hopefully!!!

In England

So I made it to England and so far so good. We went through rain, sleet, and snow from London to Oxford but it was worth it. I am still jet lagged but we have had some great days. We are staying in Birdlip for a couple of nights and it is quite pretty and quiet. Blenheim Palace yesterday - where Churchill lived and Warwick Castle today with a smaller version of Ren Fest. The dungeons are way cool there too! Went through the Cotswolds to a small extent, Chipping Camden, Broadway, Moreton on Marsh, and then Stowe on the Wold. Broadway was beautiful but they begin to run together after awhile. Going to Cardiff tomorrow to see Dr. Who exhibit tomorrow as well. Missing him a bit so we shall see what happens when I get home.

Getting ready for England and Wales

So not only I am trying to date someone new, but I am juggling him with trying to get everything at work and home ready so I can leave tomorrow. He wanted to spend time with me last night when I left the club but I had to remain in control and say no even though I wanted to say yes. So I guess I will have to make do with spending a couple of hours with him tonight instead even though I still have plenty to do before I leave.

I am excited for my trip though. I am such a Dr. Who nerd, and am seriously looking forward to the Dr. Who Exhibition in Cardiff next week. That is probably half the reason for me going to Wales in the first place. There is plenty more to see but that is THE thing for me to see. I will miss Paris this trip but it was Paris or Wales and since I have never been to Wales and because of Dr. Who I had to choose Wales. Paris...I miss you - maybe next year!

So, how things went

Date four was GREAT. Spent part of the afternoon at the museum, James Avery, and the went to get a new Ipod. Then there was the movie and a board game. He did not complain going into James Avery on a fourth date so that is VERY impressive. I must say, any questions I had were answered and while we are not yet exclusive we may end up that way sometime soon. We have MUCH in common and things seem to work on ALL levels so we shall see......

I still have not gone out with anyone else, but I am planning on it when I get back. I guess a couple of dates with someone else or two will let me know if I want to be exclusive or if I am still looking.

Still wondering if I can handle dating more than one person at a time because I know I could not handle being "intimate" with more than one at a time. It would just feel wrong - like I am cheating.

Date number four

So we are going out again, that's a good sign. Much, much, much too early for love but there is enough like to go out again. Who knows where this will go, but I do not want to limit myself to only dating one person until I know that he is the one I want to concentrate on. Is it wrong to want to date more that one person at a time? I am afraid that if I put all my effort into one person that I might miss something else if it does not work out. Now I am not advocating that you sleep with more than one person at a time, because that is wrong and I also think it is dangerous with all those nasty diseases and things out there.

Protect yourself but be smart about it is what I think!

Anyway, I am excited about the fourth date because like I said it has been sooooo long since I dated anyone but we shall see what comes of it.

Begining again for the first time

To begin with, if anyone comes across this, I am doing this for me. It is a place to write down my thoughts and maybe I will be able to go back and read them later and figure out if I am going crazy or if life is just like this now.

So I recently joined the dating world again and it is ok so far. I guess it was actually kind of scary but I don't want to be alone anymore. I know I can be happy on my own but I look at my family and my some of my friends and they are happy with their significant others so why can't I find something like that too?

For a woman, finding a sex partner is the easy part. The hard part is actually liking said partner.

So my questions are theses...What is love? What are the signs to look for to see if he is interested? How many dates before you "give it up"? If I only hear from him once a week does that mean he is not really serious or should I wait until the fifth or sixth date before I worry? It's been so long since I actually dated someone and not just had a FWB that the complexities of dating and love have totally left me in the dust.
