First of all…thank you water music and Tree for missing me! It has been a very interesting few weeks.
I am still seeing the guy I met on Match, and on paper it still doesn’t make sense. At all. But I decided to keep an open mind while closely…very closely…guarding my heart. After all, my goal for the past 18 months is to find myself and never let myself go regardless of whether or not I found a partner.
Of course it is still early days, but I am really enjoying getting to know this man. He is a study that’s for sure. He is very masculine which suits me to a t…but he cooks for me, makes the best Bloody Mary I have ever had, and doesn’t mind engaging in healthy discussions about our differences…and there are many.
This is not a man anyone would have ever fixed me up with or introduced me to. We are, as he says, incongruous. But somehow it seems to be working.
Maybe it’s because I stopped thinking about what society or my friends or my family thinks about my choices and decided at this stage in my life fun might be the operative word. Fun and acceptance for who I am not what he thinks I should be.
The bottom line? I like him. Is he “the one”? I have no idea. I’m not sure there is “a one” anymore. But I can tell you he is worth the trouble I went through to find him.
And he’s a great kisser!
Shirley - what a breath of fresh air. It sounds like you are quite the extraordinary person. I'm going to take your advice and ask myself what would I like to do on this long holiday weekend! Who knows...I just might have some fun. The loneliness is 
Dear Wondering,
First of all, you will be in my prayers over the next few days. What a sad situation for you to cope with. I hope that he will provide properly for you ... Make sure you get legal advice right away especially if there's any possibi
Shirley,

I will be 60 in
You go girl! This is a perfect example of “Out of the Box Dating”-choosing someone totally different then your usual type. We usually choose men based on looks, money, religion, a certain shared interest etc. Because they have these qualities doesn’t mean they are the best man for us nor does it mean he’s a great guy. And that is why so many women are disappointed thinking men aren’t who they appear to be. By going out of the box, like you’ve done, you’ve found someone who works for you. What it looks like on paper doesn’t matter-it’s how the two of you are together.
Sounds like you are really having fun!!!!!! Don’t worry about long term right now. Just enjoy the moment and let go of where its going. It will take the pressure off and feel so much better! Congrats Vicky!!!
