Congrats on getting back out there. Just keep in mind that if you are going to be seeing more than one for any extended period, you should make sure they know you are dating more than one. Even if you will ultimately be monogamous, it's just good to be out in the open that you have more than one in the consideration category.

I really don't care about that right now. I just started dating again and I hope these women are getting out there and seeing other men so that they'll appreciate what a catch I am in comparison :)

I had af few dates on plenty of fish before I met Evan. I've met people that found the one through POF the advise they gave was cast a large net.

Yeah, I just started this a month ago. It took me a month to actually have my first date now all of the sudden I have 3 in one weekend. When it rains, it pours, I guess. Especially in Seattle :)
 
Spoken in the Frank voice from "Hotel Transylvania"...



"But seriously....Watch out for herpes. Herpes bad."
 
So my 3rd weekend date came together in a weird way. This woman found my POF profile and messaged me out of the blue this morning. We started chatting back and forth - just small talk. I let her know that it was a coincidence that I was going to be in the very town she lived an worked in at a friend's house watching the Seahawks game today which was true. She then "went quiet" and I didn't hear from her again - I figured I she thought I was lying about being in her town and thought I was just playing her - and didn't expect to hear from her again.

Then around 3, she messages me again and just said, "Just let me know when you're free". So I set up a date to meet her at a coffee shop near her house. I bought her a latte', we chatted for about an hour. She made it clear that she wasn't looking for just casual hookups. The coffee shop closed and I got the feeling that she still wanted to hang out. So I suggested we go back to her place and watch TV or a movie. She said she didn't have cable. I responded that if she's got internet I have all the streaming movie accounts. I also travel with an HDMI cable we can hook up to the TV. She thought about it for about 15 seconds and said, ok, let's go, but I have to warn you, I have a cat in my bedroom. And I thought, "bedroom?" I figured at the most we'd just hang out in her living room. So I followed her home. I put on one of my favorite movies, "Galaxy Quest" in her room and we laid down on her bed, snuggled, and watched the movie.

Anyway I don't want to bore you guys with any more boring details.

So I joined a dating site called "Plenty of Fish" a month ago. It's been a strange experience. It's been 2 years since my divorce and I figured it was time to get back out there. For about a month I've been chatting back and forth with a few women. It's weird that women from really far away reach out because they've got to know I'm not going to drive to Canada or Cenrtal Oregon to meet them. Over the past month I've gotten the courage up to ask a couple of women out, but their response has been either, "No, we've got to chat more first", or, "Send me more pictures".

Up until last week I started thinking the female population was just married or attached women, bored and wanting to flirt. Anyway, last week two women have agreed to meet me today. I'm taking a nice lady to lunch, and tonight another lady wants just to hang out at her place - wants to cook dinner for us.

So things are looking up in the neverending soap opera that is my life.

I signed up on a dating site for my daughter. She is divorced. A mother of five young children, looking for an independent fundamentalist Christian man with similar views. I have not found any real prospects in more than a year.

So, as I understand it you're doing the screening on a dating site for prospective suitors for your daughter?

That's right. I posted her picture and her info, however. If I respond to an inquiry I tell them I am fielding her calls for her.

Very sweet cat. She's a mid-sized black cat. As we were laying on her bed, my date's head on my chest, the cat laid down and fell asleep on my tummy. I was proud that I have the skills to stroke the hair of two creatures at once.

The blue magic pill, you can pay anywhere from 25 to 45 bucks PER PILL for the Pfizer brand name version or you can get the generic knockoffs from Indian pharmaceutical companies for about 65 bucks for ten pills. Looks the same, works the same, sometimes you get funny package inserts which say stupid things like "Big Man Effect" but in every other respect it's Viagra.
The Cenforce brand looks exactly like the Pfizer pills and then there's "Fildena" which is every bit as identical in function except they are purple and triangular shaped. Someone mentioned "Kamagra" but I haven't seen them yet from my distributor. Those are diamond shaped but green color.

I'm sixty-two and I can say that I am functional without it but not like I was in my twenties.
When you're in your twenties, it's "SCHWING!!!" and when you hit sixty-two it's

"SHAAA-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-wi-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-ing".

It's nice to get the "SCHWING!!!" back.

Or the running gag in our house:

(Me) "Sweetie, am I as good as I once was?"
(Wife) "Honey, you're as good ONCE, as you once were."

So for me, it's just that extra lead in the pencil, it's nice to know it's there.
Maybe by next year or 2020 the patent will finally expire here, and then the prices will level off to something reasonable.
It's amazing that Pfizer was able to find a way to extend U.S. patent protection for the extra years, and they are milking it for all it's worth.
Anway, I have a VA prescription for it but now that I am on CHAMPVA it only knocks the price down about 20% or so, which is why I said "screw it" and starting getting the import knockoffs from India.

(PS: lol I'm sure your wife doesn't look like that. Happy anny)
 
Best of luck, Lurch. I met my husband online, on an old IRC chat room. This past June was our 22nd anniversary together, 18th year married. Talking to people online is the best way to go, really. Get to know them first. Talk at length. Hell, you might not even like them enough to bother going on a first date with them, and talking to them online solves all that. :)
