The past few weeks have been quite the ride. I met a new man for drinks tonight -- the weather turned ugly so we let it go with only drinks. I think he is interested -- kept on telling me that I was beautiful (??) and wonderful and that David must be crazy to have left. But I'm not sure if he was saying that to try to get me into bed or if he is interested. We'll have to see if he calls back and asks for a second date.
Getting to actually meet on this "first" date was hard enough. Met Marc online just before Thanksgiving. He's a MD-PhD with an MBA - a lot of degrees there so he can't be stupid. He had his family over; I had Thanksgiving at Ann & John's, dinner with my brother & nephew, and Chanukah here last Sunday - so last weekend was out. Then on Monday Marc asked me out for this Friday. We emailed back and forth a lot and he even called Monday night to make sure I had the information correct. Didn't hear from him on Tuesday then got email on Wednesday that he had to cancel and that he couldn't reschedule due to an "illness in the family". Everyone including me thought that this was a blow off if there ever was one.
Then today while I was at a Divorce Support group in Metuchen, I got an email from Marc asking if I wanted to meet today? Why not -- I wasn't doing anything and he seemed like a good prospect.
Met at Thatcher McGhee's in Denville for drinks and had a nice conversation despite the place being VERY noisy. He is okay looking -- definitely not an Adonis; shorter than he claims online (he said 5'6"; I think closer to 5'4"); claims to have an athletic body (not sure which sport he is thinking of -- definitely not athletic); he is smart (Cornell graduate and then there are all those advanced degrees); and he is easy to talk to. I would see him again -- but will have to see if he calls back and asks me out again.
So it starts!
