Susan Says

Time for my Skype Meet Up with Susan two days after my lunch with Harley.  Of course the first thing she asks is how it went and how I felt. My answer?  It was okay and I didn't feel anything.  Tell me about that, she says.  What does that mean you didn't feel anything?  I just didn't feel any chemistry.  What's missing, she asks.  Jeez, I can't even answer that.  You either got it or you don't.  I just didn't feel any instant spark nor did it appear two hours into his monologue.


She laughs, that's probably a good thing for you.  That'll keep you out of trouble for awhile.  I tell her the whole story.  He's a soft-spoken, conservative, rock and roll biker.  He rides a Harley and loves Led Zeppelin.  I tell her he's probably too conservative for me.  He probably is, she says, but let it play itself out.  He could be a sleeper; you might tap into whatever that Harley riding is all about.  To me, Harley riding is just an extension of a piece of the male anatomy, but I'm not going there.


Give me an update on every guy you're communicating with.  Okay, let me get out my accordian folder..lol.


I start with Ned.  I look at his profile, lives in DC, journalist covering financial news in Congress, pictures with muckety muck types.  He is laughing hysterically in his profile picture.  

• The one thing I am most passionate about is my two cocker spaniels
• My three best life skills
• Using humor to make friends laugh (Check)
• Making improvements and repairs around the house (Double Check)
• Achieving personal goals (Check)
• I wish more people noticed my generosity (mmm..why haven't they noticed?)
• The first thing people notice about me:  my quick wit (I could be a match in this area)
• The things I can't live without:  romance, my dogs, shopping, sex

WHAT???!!!  He did not write that.  Oh, yes, he did.  Sex.  A tip to the male:  We all know you are thinking this, you don't need to write it.  This is a turn-off...sublety pays bigger dividends.  Write that you want to develop a friendship that could possibly turn into the great romance of your life, but don't write that SEX is something you can't live without.

But, he also wrote that he is Very Liberal.  That's my hook.  So here's what I wrote to him:

"Yes, A flaming liberal in DC!  God, there need to be millions more like you.  But, when do you have time to walk your dogs?  Keep up the good work!"

His response two minutes later?

"Visit me and you will be pampered by three men with 10 feet

What more could a woman want!!

The offer is legit

Give me a buzz on my cell this evening"  (I know you want the number but even I have my limits)

I wrote back:

"Inappropriate, Ned.  A little too nuts, even for me."

I admit it took me a few minutes to get the men with 10 feet part.  Oh, yeah, the dogs.  Susan doesn't totally diss him but encourages caution.  Proud that I called him on his irreverence.  She says to listen to my inner voice, anything that strikes you as odd, you need to listen to.  Your inner voice is almost always correct.  So, my inner voice is telling me that he is a typical egomaniac, brash, a name dropper, and could not possibly be far enough on his personal growth path to take me on.  

I don't think he liked my response.  There were no more exchanges.  Moving on...

Then, I get an email from Harley Guy.

"If you thought about doing this in the past now is the time to actually do it. (Insert http address)  You wouldn't believe what I was able to accomplish in less than a week.  Hurry now because the clock is ticking.  Since starting this, my wife was able to quit her job and be home with the kids.  I couldn't have asked for such a great opportunity to financial success."

His wife and kids??!!
