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.
