If you thought the "C" word was scary

Then the 'L' word is downright terrifying. I've just got off the phone with Yoga Guy, and yes he did it - said the bloody 'L' word.

Yoga Guy... we've had a couple of dates. I admit he's a really nice guy. We went to the theatre last night, and had a lot of wine, and a lot of laughs. And this morning he actually called around with all the ingredients for a fab breakfast. How sweet is that?!?

I am going to carry on seeing him, but I'm so not ready for the 'L' word. So, I told him I have serious 'commitment' issues at the moment, and so as long as he's OK with me on that then we're fine!!

Onto Volleyball Guy. Well... he's getting funnier by the minute. He's got some endearing features (like his 6 pack), but the 'bus nutter' side of him is starting to show:

1. He's given me his mobile number 4 times... already. And sent me a text to test our numbers worked!

2. So funny this one... you know those 'how was your day' type emails. Well, his are kind of timetable style. "10:00am, woke up/showered. 10:17, had breakfast", and so on. Now initially I thought he was joking, but I'm beginning to think this is maybe what he's really like, all the time!!

3. He keeps mentioning the fact he's looking for his 'solemate' (sp)!!

So, armed with the evidence that he may have a screw ever so slightly loose (and, as my Bruv pointed out, why is such a good looking guy on a dating site. At which point I reminded him that *I* was on a dating site. What is he trying to say? Either I'm intelligent but ugly, or stupid but beautiful! Answers on a postcard please!)...where was I??

I'm meeting him tomorrow, for coffee!! It's a lunch date, so short. He's emailed me to let me know what his going to be wearing (already), and can I do likewise. What?? Now??

I've no idea. I'll text him tomorrow, once I'm dressed!

You are feeling very sleepy

I know, I know... I didn't let you know how I got on with Shoe Guy! Sorry :)

Well, it was a very nice evening. He's quiet funny, and willingly stumped up my meal and champagne prize... thank you :)

He called last night to invite me quad biking at the weekend.

Now, that's going to be a little difficult... as usual I've a number of things already going on... a day out with The Voice Of Reason, the theatre with Yoga Guy, and golf with my Bruv, and possibly tea (hint, hint ;)), so as much as an afternoon tearing around up to my neck in mud I'm not sure I'm going to be able to fit it in :(

And talking of Yoga Guy and Shoe Guy, I'm starting to think I've developed a nasty 4 date itch (and before any of you say anything, not *that* mind of itch). They're both nice guys, but there's just no real spark there. Yoga Guy is beginning to do the whole "where do you see us going thing", and Shoe Guy has hinted that I'd love a day out shopping with his daughter... both scary signs of the dreaded "C" word!!!

So my mind is now drifting to my new winks and 'Mutual Contact':

Volleyball Guy... he is indeed quite fit looking (I've seen a photo of him playing volleyball on the beach, and seriously... he's got a proper six pack!). I've had a couple of nice emails off him (not one liners, but not too wordy).

And (now this is a great one). I got a wink of this fella who's a hypnotherapist. He sounds *very* interesting. I emailed him back... I could use the services of a hypnotherapist :)

Shoe Guy and the meal

It's tonight! I've got a hideous hangover (a ladies night last night, with too much wine and champagne!). Still, I've got enough time when I get home to transform myself.

This guy is actually quite good fun (as well as being a sucker for a challenge, a good loser, and a Richard Hammond lookalike). He emailed me to point out the only reason I won was that he was somewhat distracted by my 'wiggle' when I set up my swing.

Now, that's one thing Gorgeous H didn't teach me. That and the 'oh so cute' golf skirt certainly did the trick there :)

I'm definitely taking both the wiggle and the 'oh so cute' skirt to Dublin. Having said that, one of the courses we're playing at is a links course, which means it's going to be freezing... what am I going to do?? I'll have blue legs!

Other stuff... I've had a wink of a beach volleyball player (very fit looking!), and one off a chartered accountant who is scarily proud of his 33 pots in his garden... no thanks!! And a text of Legal Guy (the short one). Do I fancy going out for a drink??

And Cute from Devon is coming up for a visit! Now, we're kind of past dating each other, so it's just a night out to swap dating nightmares. It'll be good fun :)

Blues and shoes

What a cool weekend :)

Saturday evening's date with Yoga Guy was great fun. A blues club in the back of beyond, full of old men with long ponytails (well, the ones that had hair left anyway!).

Yoga Guy and I looked like the Beautiful Ones by comparison! He said I looked radiant, and wasn't I lucky I didn't need to wear makeup. I guess that's a thumbs up to the half an hour of playing with my various enhancing and plumping goodies he picked me up!

Now... he did ask again if I wanted to go for a walk with him and his kids. Nope, sorry - I'm playing golf with Shoe Guy!!

These guys must think I'm a terrible golfer... Today's game was all about challenges. First to lose a ball buys dinner later in the week, and whoever loses the game has to buy champagne. I love a challenge, so agreed to both bets. And guess who's now got an all expenses night out later in the week??

That's right... Me :)

He lost his ball on the 7th, and we ended the game with me 1 up... so close, but I won both prizes!!

I did offer double or quits next week for a pair of Jimmy Choos, but he went a bit pale :/

Don't believe everything you read

Last night's date... hmmm, not *quite* what I was expecting (although it will all become clear shortly).

His profile seems OK, and by email he came across as quite an interesting guy. I went along to this one not even knowing what he looked like (no photo remember), but his description had him down as 6' with blond hair.

So, when this 5' 8ish guy with grey hair introduced himself I was a little bit taken aback to say the least!!!

Anyway, we did have a nice meal and a couple of drinks, and to be honest he was fairly good company, but not for me. I found out he hadn't actually written his profile at all... a friend of his (who obviously has bad eyesight) had put it on the site, to get him out of a rut!

During the date I got a text of Shoe Guy (and Richard Hammond lookalike), asking if I fancied a drink... Damn! It would've been rude to have cut the date short (especially half way through a meal!) so I declined, but we're sorting another night.

However, the absolute best best from yesterday... when I got home from work there was a message off Dubliner 1 of 3 (with wine cellar)! He was at the airport on his way to Mauritius, and just wanted to say good morning, and that he'll try to get to a PC while he's out there to email me!

Fab... now I have two messages - a morning one and an evening one. The play button on my answering machine is going to wear out!!

So, plans for the next couple of days (apart from the Dublin countdown - 18 days), is a date with Yoga Guy on Saturday night, and possibly Shoe Guy (and Richard Hammond lookalike) on Sunday night. I turned down the option of Sunday afternoon with Yoga Guy and his kids... it would've implied a hint of commitment, and as much as I think he's a great guy, we all know what happens when it gets to heavy too soon :)
