Goodness me, nearly TWO YEARS between posts. Well that
is about how successful the online dating has been...what ON EARTH is going
wrong? Anyhow, here is an update.
Shortly after Mr
too-good-to-be-true, I was contacted by the Ideal Guy. I liked the profile so
much that I sent a "kiss" back saying 'you've made my day, can't wait
to hear from you' and the email exchange was on. Many long emails, but always
the feeling that they were structured, not much spontaneity there. But I was
half in love with this one before even a telephone conversation.
The suggestion of a M& G arose. The problem here
was distance, all 250 km of it. Now I know that folk throw caution to the winds
and book plane tickets to go and meet their matches, but that is not really me.
Driving 100 km for a coffee is a big deal in my book. I got more and more
nervous….and ended up cancelling the date.
Idiot moi, in retrospect. We kept emailing on and
off, and again the topic of meeting came
up, this time at my suggestion. Still
too bloody nervous and I crept back in to my bunker.
In the meantime, I had hooked up with a man I had met
online. He was almost local being under 200 km away. I needed some action!
