Raindrops keep falling on my head

OK, so I've moved. My new place is is complete disarray so I have to spend today sorting stuff out, but that's not the disaster... the disaster is my broadband is not working :(

You're probably wondering how I've been able to update this? Well, If I perch my laptop out the window I can occasionally pick up someone else's wireless!

I know that's a bit cheeky, but how the hell am I going to continue in my search for 'the one' if I can't connect. This is hell for an online dating addict!

Anyway, having piggybacked some unsuspecting persons network I've been able to let my Potentials know I've moved, but if I don't contact them it's not because I'm ignoring them!

There's been a change of plan with today's 'Face to Face' with Serious Golf Pro. I've still got oodles of things to sort in the new place, so I'm just meeting him for a coffee today, and we're going to do the fabulous range tomorrow, by which time my currently swollen toe (swollen because I dropped a quite heavy and large object on it when moving!), should hopefully not be too bad, and I can squeeze my golf shoes on!

And I still need to find the 'oh so cute' golf skirt :)

Right, must go... it's raining and the keyboard is getting wet!

Last one, I promise!

OK, OK... I *may* have overblogged today, but Serious Golf Pro is just so funny!

I've now had 7 emails and two texts off him (bear in mind he only got in touch this afternoon!). A little over the top, and probably a sign that he may just turn out to be too much.

However, I am going to meet him, and hope this initial flurry of communications dies down a little!

So, the date... the driving range. Now, I usually go to a fairly OK driving range. You put the ball down, hit it, swear, and repeat 200 times. The driving range he's taking me to is only on THE best course around... seriously. So I'm going to have to modify the range routine a little and skip the swearing part... shit!

And we're going to have lunch at the same fabulous course afterwards.

Foie Gras anyone?

And more!

'Face to Face' No.18!!!

The driving range on Sunday with Serious Golf Pro. OMG... I'm not nervous, not at all! After all, it's almost like I'm going to have a free lesson! Sorry Gorgeous H... you may well have just been ousted!

Now where oh where is that 'oh so cute' golf skirt ;)

there's more...

So, I finish updating this, and there's another wink! Well, I say a wink, this guy skipped a stage and emailed, asking if I want to have dinner... tonight!!

Actually, he's skipped several stages there! I would say I don't know a thing about him, but in the very short space of time since his email I've been able to find out more about him than you'd think. How?

Through the power of Google!! He mentioned he was a golf pro (no, unfortunately it's not Gorgeous H!), and I've got his full name... so I googled away!!!

Now, on paper (or screen in this case), he looks like a good Potential. He's actually a serious golf pro, and is even on the European Tour circuit. Bloody hell! As he's so good, there are oodles of pictures around (albeit all various golf poses!), so I've been able to get a good look at him!

So, do I want dinner with him.... of course I do!! There is just one fly in the ointment (actually, there's two!):

1.) Voice of Reason is with me, so my only option would be the bar downstairs (and I've now got a new rule not to take Potentials there)

2.) I'm moving tomorrow, so I really should pack stuff, and not eat dinner with serious golf pros!

Damn. Still, if he's keen maybe we can do it another time. Fingers crossed!

Middle names

Two whole bottles of wine... ouch! And I was right - Old Friend was seriously good fun, and fit :)

I went for the more casual side of 'smart casual', but minus the fab boots! A quick practise at walking around my place in them made me realise they were just too high to wear on a night when I knew alcohol was going to feature strongly! So I went for 'almost fab' but 'walkable about in' ones!

Anyway... my Potentials (drinks with old friends don't count as Potentials!):

Baileys Guy: Bless... I had another sweet email off him today, and he's going to call tonight. He's asked about meeting up in January for a drink ( so 'Face to Face' No.18)! So, I'm going to meet someone who distributes Baileys, and I'm not going to be drinking (my vow of abstinence, remember!) I'm slightly revising the detox, to include two days (or maybe three) when I can have one or two drinks!!

Yoga Guy: Bless... he's actually been away for a week, but you wouldn't know it. Daily calls and texts (I'm sure if he could arrange for a carrier pigeon to wing me a note he would!). He's back tomorrow, and wants to know if we can meet up, or if he can pop around (as he'll more than likely by 'just passing'). Funny thing is, I'm moving today/tomorrow... the new girl who's going into my place is probably going to get the shock of her life when he turns up laden down with chocolate and wine!

Should I tell him I'm moving?

Dubliner 1 of 3 (with wine cellar): Bless... I had a long long email off him today. There's still very strong hints at 'where do I see us going', and have I made up my mind if I want to go away somewhere with him next week. Ummm...

Dubliner 2 of 3: I'd forgotten how fab he was! He asked did I get my Christmas pressie? What!!! No, I didn't... I hope it hasn't got lost in the post :( He also mentioned he's coming over for the rugby in February, and do I fancy meeting up?

So, that's a couple of dates for the new year Baileys Guy, and Dubliner 2 of 3 (who I've only had one date with so far, so there's still hope for him!)

And I've had a wink today off a new guy. A quick scan through his profile reveals that fun is his middle name! Well, no one is going to put "dull and boring is my middle name", are they?? Ooh, and he loves chilling out on the sofa watching DVD's.

Fun fun fun, all the way :/
