Shifting Gears

But, I know you're not really interested in my political rants or my body angst, you want to know about the men!!  What is going on?  Let me tell you, first, I am a total believer in the Love in 90 Days program.  My coach, Susan, is worth her weight in gold!  Not only have I found worthwhile men to date, but my confidence has soared.  I will never return to my less than diamond self!

So, last weekend, I met the Big Kahuna.  Not so big.  He's rather short, actually, but not the ego!  At least, that's my first impression.  Originally from Manhattan, he's an 'entrepreneur.' Sounds like start ups, failures, start ups, failures...you get the picture.  Don't think he'll be retiring soon.  Easy to converse with...well, he did most of the talking...lol.  Easy on the eyes...going out again this weekend.  The first date's always so nerve wracking, Susan requires at least another one.

Sammy returns from Miami Tuesday and he's nailing me down for any free time I have.  Starting with the day after he lands!  More hikes, more urban adventures...is he moving here?  He's closing next week on his new house in Pennsylvania.  Did he retire and forget to tell me?  Ahhh...so many unanswered questions.

Told you already Harley's back in town this weekend.  Do I dare get on the back of that motorcycle?  He swears he's a safe driver.  I just don't know...I can't see me in a helmet, way too much hair.  I love my convertible...the feeling of freedom from having your hair blowing wildly in every direction...nothing like it!

John.  Never gave up.  Every time, I skewered him, he came over swearing his undying love for me.  He didn't care what role he played in my life, just so there was a role.  We remained bridge partners and travel partners.  But, there's our history.  Five years of fits and starts and break-ups.  Such turbulence.  I had to shift gears.  We hit a brick wall; I was dazed.  I needed to get my thoughts in some kind of order; I had to protect myself.  I needed to find myself apart from him.  I needed the balance of having other men in my life.  Yet, I have profound feelings for him.  So, we will begin by learning to be friends, to be open with each other, to continue our self-explorations.  Maybe, our path would've been smoother if we had both started with our diamond selves five years ago.  I don't rule us out.

Meanwhile, Match has sent me over 100 new guys to check out and I am exhausted.  I need a vacation from the winks, the oh-so-clever emails, the profile updating.  I never did buy that scoop neck red top, but I may buy it with the Macy's gift card one of the guys gave me.

But, I always know if none of these guys works out or I want to add more to my Dating Program of Three, I'll come back from my 'vacation' and start winking again!!

Ya coming with me???
