  • So I met this guy . . . . . .

    Ok, the past two and a half years, all the guys I met did not work out beyond the first time we met in terms of dating and establishing a relationship. But with some, I became friends with -- good friends that I can rely on, and they can rely on me.


    But now tonight, I met this guy with whom I originally contacted through match.com. We kept in contact for a couple of weeks through e-mail, and earlier tonight we finally decided to meet at a cafe at Borders.

    His name is Ken and he's 35 years old (I'm 26). He's cute and attractive.
    We spent almost three hours talking at the cafe on a variety of subjects -- intelligent conversation is one of things we're both capable of, so we weren't sitting there twiddling our thumbs together.


    But when we finally had to leave because the cafe was closing, he asked me THE question already -- and this was our first night. He asked me where I thought we would go from here. When he asked me this, from his body language and his excitement, he was interested in dating together right away.

    I told him that I do not know yet where this will go. I said that I needed to see him a few more times before I can decide if we will just be friends, or if we will end up more than that, by dating, and then a serious relationship. He is cute and he's intelligent and he finds me attractive, but I can't believe he had to ask this question already.

    It's just plain and simple -- I'm not sure yet. So, in a couple of days (Thursday) we are going to have dinner together at a restaurant. Hopefully he won't get down on his knees and propose to me on this second meeting (date?).


    I mean, how soon do you ask someone where this is going? How could I have known for sure after only our first meeting? Give me a little more time, Ken!

    But I'm glad that this MIGHT be a guy that could turn out to be more than friendship.

      Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the point of match.com was to get people who wanted to date together.

        Yeah, Lorizael -- which is why I'm going to have dinner with him again. But from his forward question, he seems to be more immediately interested in something more serious with me, than I might be.

        And at this point, I don't know yet.

          If you want, I can see if Ken wants to make a video of all our dates, so you can get recorded, minute by minute accounts.

            Which of the above statements is more presumptuous?

              Well Ogie, it's take two people to have intelligent conversation.

              And body language and facial expressions along with what people say, can express that person's level of interest.

                Lol...

                I meant it was presumptuous of you to say you can hold an intelligent conversation.

                I'm guessing Ken can. j/k

                  So can we stay on topic?
