I realize it has been 21 years since I have dated, but have things changed that much? I have gone on a total of 4 quick meets with 4 different men. The first 2 it was easy, not a match, nor friend material at all. So no problem, when asked out a second time I mentioned we were not a match.
This past week I went out with 2 different guys. Both were outdoor, biking type activities, no cost, basically just doing something that was fun and easier to get to know someone. I had enjoyed myself. One guy txted me the next day, said how nice I looked and what did I think of him? Really, I talked to him for 2 hours. Soooo I wouldn't mind seeing him again. I txted back that I had fun and he was easy to talk to. I have heard nothing back. OK, no worries.
The second guy did seem to compliment me a lot. I guess I am not used to that. He txted me at least 7 times yesterday. Good morning, what was I up to, what he was doing. Ready to set up another bike ride. It felt fast to me. Again, I enjoyed myself and could see getting together again, and see what happens. But really its not like I have to have a companion or partner yet (or ever again). Is every body rushing to Partner up quickly?
On my profile, I put long term dating, short term dating, relationship. I have not put activity partners, I am afraid that is "code" for sex.
