To find a relationship

By seandbe

bikeebiker2_50.jpgI was reading a blog relating to knowing that weather or not you are in a good or bad relationship.

I have to say, before, during and after my divorce I never though I would date another man. My kids where like “you are a man hater”. Which surprised me. I guess it was my manner. I just was always saying stuff like:, “Ya men are jerks. I don’t want someone else telling what to do any more.”

So, after I had been single for over five years, and many questions of “when are you going to start dating?” I decided, hay it might be nice to meet some new people. Maybe some one to go mountain biking with. But I don’t think that I will find any one even half way decent, and fun.

A friend sets me up on a couple of dates. Oh, where those bad. These guys had no sence of hummor. So, my girlfriend says, “you have to find someone who has a common interest.” I dont know any guys that hike, or mountian bike, and neither does anyone else.

We, (my girlfriend and me) decide to go to Lance Armstrongs, matching sight. I fill out the form, and just kind of forget about it. I go and check on it in a week, and this guy has gotten back to me twice. The second saying, “so are you interested or not”. Haha, I didn’t know you were supposed to look at the sight everyday, and chat it up. So I send an email back to him. Ya, sure give me a call. HaHa. and that evening he calls. I’m quite surprised, I figured he would probable email first. Then hes like, want to get together this weekend, I’m, like, no. What does he think I have no life. I’m going college hunting with my daughter. Oh, ok, how about next weekend. Ok.

    Interesting. I will look forward to hearing how it goes. Please ensure you take precautions, like meeting in a public place for the first time, not giving your address, thinks like that.
    Good luck!

    Heyyyyyy :) This put a smile on my face. You know, SeAndBe…I’ve found that having common interests with someone to build a friendship FIRST has never let me down. Has it always led to romance? No…but I’ve made a new friend and there’s nothing bad about that! My guy and I spent 3 months just talking on the phone before I was willing to meet him (we met on a dating site! LOL something very ‘iffy’ but, in our case, we met within days of joining and it’s worked) Anyway, during those three months, we would talk and talk for hours about our lives, our families, our interests. And the friendship that we built is what has helped us to come back time and time again to The Table, when we’ve had problems with our ‘romantic’ sides. He is my best friend.

    So I really hope you’ll have a chance to make some new friends from this site you’re on! I think it sounds awesome!
