S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y- Night!

...and you can hate me for the rest of the day for putting that in your head.

So, I decided to get myself back out into the dating world a couple of weeks ago.

Last night was my first date back out there after kicking away my dry spell.
He is a very nice young man, 28, has a good job, smart, great sense of humor. Has a lot of growing up to do and figuring out who he is.

It wasn't a bad date, but you know how you know whether or not the date is going to go anywhere before you ever even order your first cocktail? Yeah, that was me last night.
Very, very nice young man, but not for me.
Ten years ago he would have been totally for me. Now? Not so much.
Total friendship.
In fact I just replied to his email stating he would love to see me again and I had to send the, "I think you and I could totally be great friends" email.
Now, on the whole, great friends front, I actually mean it. It's not some stupid, bs that everyone says, like the, "it's not you it's me when in reality it's totally you and not me" bs line.
No, I actually mean it. To show I mean it I will actually back it up with a phone call and email tomorrow to show this. See, ta dah! no bs. So easy, so simple. No junior high games. No games at all. So mature. So grown-up.

The main reason it wouldn't work out between us even though he and I have pretty compatible personalities and tastes and thinking is because I could chew him up and spit him out. Not that I would actually ever do anything like that, but I would be way too dominate of a personality with him and I think he would be way too easy to push around and I very much don't want that. I don't want that at all. (ok, in the bedroom, sure. In everyday life, no.)

So.

I have two other prospects. One my girlfriend is fixing me up with. I don't know much about him other than he is 26, very nice, very cute and very smart. Sounds like a good go ahead so far.
Prospect number three is 38, divorced and so far seems to be pretty decent in the communication department. We'll see. The kicking the dry spell is still very new and life has endless possibilities of glass half-full opportunities for a perpetually perky girl who looks at life as a journey who is always waiting to see what's right around the corner.
