I don’t make New Year’s Resolutions. I always thought the idea was stupid. When I need to change something, the time to change it is right then – not on New Year’s Day. Throughout each year, I make many decisions to change something in my life. Lately I’ve been thinking of a few things I…
Kids Everywhere
If I had any doubts that I don’t want kids in my life, this Christmas season sealed it for me. First I had a serious conversation with MGLN about children. She doesn’t have any children nor does she want to have any for very valid personal reasons. Which leads me to believe there will be…
My 1%
My first two days of using Hinge and Bumble for online dating has been a learning experience. It’s been different than what I had anticipated. After swiping past hundreds of unappealing profiles, I’ve gotten efficient at it. I take no pleasure in sifting through woman after woman only to be “rewarded” with an occasional candidate….
I Can Fly
My first experience with runner’s high was as a senior in high school. We had moved from a few blocks away from school to 3 miles further at the top of a steep hill. My walking time grew from 10 to 30 minutes. Initially, I was grumpy about this. But within a week, I felt…
Online Dating Update 1/1/22
I have returned to the dating/seeking a lifelong partner world. Since it’s been 32 years since I’ve gone on a date with a different woman (not counting my four recent non-dates with MGLN) this is all new to me. But even after those 4 “dates” I’ve found some clarity and my confidence is sky high….
Talk Dirty To Me
Now that I think of it, I can’t ever recall an actual woman talking dirty to me. I have never been a guy who was titillated by a woman “talking dirty”. In the movies and on TV, it always sounded silly, feigned and disingenuous. Until last week. During my non-date, we spoke for 4 hours…
Cannon Fodder
My friend has spent the past few years doing online dating with moderate success. He unsuccessfully tried to convince me to jump into that cesspool ever since I settled back down in Raleigh. For the first two years, I had no interest in dating whatsoever. Even this third year, I was apathetic and noncommittal at…
My 83 Year Old Girlfriend
Last year, I was driving down the street when I saw an elderly woman (80ish) on all fours on the sidewalk and a younger woman (30ish) crouching beside her. Something looked amiss. I pulled over and asked if they needed help. The elderly woman said “no” and the younger woman said “yes”. In a few…
Pictures of Me and the Girls
2020-2021 except for the picture of Snickers (2012) Pictures of my dogs, my home, the Orangemobile, my minimalistic garage gym and stuff are scattered throughout other posts on this site. Below are my girls – Both under 11 lbs and pretty darn short too. But they make up for it in barks and snuggles.
Disappointed But Not Devastated
My non-dating experience with My Good Looking Neighbor didn’t turn out the way I had hoped. Over a few weeks, we had four quite pleasant non-dates with deep conversations, a fun neighborhood Christmas Eve light tour and good meals. We’re becoming friends. Which is nice. But it’s less than I want. I am looking for…
