Coming soon!

I know, I know... you're dying to know what happened with Dubliner 1 of 3 (with wine cellar). I'll give you a full update this evening (loads to tell!). All I'll say for now is...

WOW :)

Yours?

Cool... only a couple more days to go until I finally meet Dubliner 1 of 3 (with wine cellar). But, before that I've got a lunchtime date tomorrow with Volleyball Guy, then evening date tomorrow with Yoga Guy. I decided on the comedy club option, even though things with Yoga Guy are taking a turn...

Last night (out for a Guinness) he got a "little" drunk, and kept asking me if I was his?!? He's not getting it, is he. I really like him, but I will never belong to anyone! Been there, done that... and it's an experience I don't want to go through again!

So, I told him again I like him on a level, but I can't commit to anything! Bless... I got a text off him this morning to apologise!

Ooh... I've had a couple more winks over the last few days. One from a sports nutritionist (I can't see that going anywhere. Not once he sees my diet consists of ready meals, minibix and wine!)

And... almost forgot about this. Dubliner 3 of 3 called on Wednesday night. It was totally out of the blue, but within seconds we were chatting like old friends. He says I'm a sharp blade (which, for you non Irish, is actually a compliment!)

I've arranged to meet him the first evening I'm in Dublin (actually, he's picking me up from the airport). Well, I had a few hours to kill :)

Conversating?

Bless... after my coffee with Volleyball Guy on Monday I get another text to let me know just how much he enjoyed our "conversating"... it's not a real word, it it?!?

He's so funny I met him again today, for some more coffee and "conversating"!!

Before we met I got three texts... One to check what time, two to ask what I'm drinking, and three to ask if I wanted sugar. I can see my mobile bill rocketing with this guy!

When I got there he apologised for not being able to get our usual seat! Ummm... we've only met once before, so there's no such thing as usual!

And how sweet is this... he bought me a little spider cookie. Sweet :) I didn't have the heart to tell him I couldn't eat it (a stupid allergy to anything remotely containing egg!), so I said I was going to save it for later.

Sysadmin Honey, I hope that little spider cookie was special, and you felt honoured to eat it!!

Yoga Guy... just got off the phone from a deep and meaningful conversation. Well, it was deep and meaningful for him - for me, I was strangely fixated on a little row of six Minibix, trying to work out which one had the most chocolate in, so I could save the best one til last :/

Pay attention girl (to Potentials, not Minibix!)

I'm going to meet him tomorrow for a wee drop of Guinness, or two (part of my pre Dublin build up!).

And I've options for the weekend... the Comedy Club with Yoga Guy, or the cinema with Volleyball Guy. Which one shall it be???

13:00 - Met for coffee!

Bless. I got a text off Volleyball Guy earlier today to tell me he was so excited about meeting me he was early... almost an hour early! So I did the decent thing and put him out of his misery by meeting earlier than planned.

His text also reminded me what he was wearing (he told me that yesterday!), and where he was sitting... blimey this guy likes detail!

Anyway, it all became clear when I met him. He was actually a chef in the Navy for 12 years, so obviously his timetable driven days are a hangover from that!

He was actually a nice guy. Now bearing in mind he's looking for his 'solemate', I felt it only fair to point out straight away that I have those 'commitment' issues, and that any sign of intensity has me running a mile.

He asked me if I fancied doing something this evening... not tonight - I'm cooking with the Voice of Reason (although, thinking about it I should've invited Volleyball Guy around... he's the chef, not me!).

Anyway... other emails:

Dubliner 1 of 3 (with wine cellar). He's sent me an email from Mauritius, with a photo showing just where *I* could now be lying. A deserted beach, blue sky... I'm not kicking myself, I'm not! I'm pretty sure Dublin next week will be just as idyllic!

Yoga Guy. A couple of emails today to let me know he thought the weekend was really special. Sweet :) And he wants to know if I'm free any/all nights this week. Ooh, and he's offered to take me to the airport next week. Is it too cheeky to have one Potential taking me to meet another Potential :/

Donegal Guy... remember him. He's emailed apologised for not being in touch for a couple of weeks, and thinks he should be hung, drawn and quartered?!? Don't worry about it, I've been busy enough anyway!

Ooh.. and I've just had a text off Volleyball guy. Apparently I've made his day!

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!
