Woo hoo!
I have someone new* to talk to! Someone I might want to date, that I can date!
:-)
A woman I contacted mid-July has messaged me back that things did not work out and that's she's available again. Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end (Closing Time, Semisonic).
Sure, I've been contacted over the last couple of weeks and had some conversations, but the problem with those potential datees were:
(a) Sharing your view that the Apocalypse is near and we need to all move to farms and small towns for the sake of our children doesn't give you a positive vibe.
(b) I just wasn't attracted.
(c) We need to move past talking about weather at some point.
Admittedly "(a) " did shake things up a bit with that viewpoint, but when I say I'd like to meet someone that I have some common ground with, but yet there are differences to debate, I'd like one of our common ground items to be that the future is not inescapably grim. Just one of my little quirks.
So, as I head out of the country, making a date logistically difficult, I look forward to perhaps having some conversations containing spark and attitude with this someone new... and when I return...
:-)
Yea! Do you ever feel like second choice when that happens?
ReplyDeleteI suspect talking about the Apocalypse can be quite a bummer.
It isn't so bad if you've only just started talking... I've been lucky so far(or maybe I'm forgetful) that I haven't been told I was second choice to someone newer than me.
ReplyDeleteThe only time the "there's another guy" news made me really nervous is when it came up in the context of a "are we exclusive" discussion, and I was thinking, "Huh? You were still looking that recently?". :-)
Since she was choosing me, that was a fleeting and unimportant thought.
~O~
Yeah... I don't mind discussing the possibility of future disasters, but I don't like hearing certainty about them! If it's going to be that bad, I don't want to know!
