I have been single for so long and just dumb when it comes to men. There is this guy I have admired from far for years. I mean YEARS. There is a rodeo this week-end and the finals are this afternoon. He works with the livestock for the rodeo as a hobby. I went out dancing last night and we danced quite a bit ( love to dance with him) As the evening ended he said you ought to come out to the rodeo tomorrow it is the finals and it will be really good. I like rodeos. Should I go or was he just saying this to be nice and trying to make the ending of the evening less awkward. See, I am 52 been single forever and just dumb.

If you like rodeos go. Just try to rein in any expectation of roping the livestock 
. That said, I wouldn't approach him, wave if you see him and then leave it up to him and see if he approaches you.

Yes the way FaithFool stated it makes it so much better. Just changing my way of thinking. As far as the dumb vs rusty I will still worry about that. It is so hard to decipher the animal known as MAN. UGH just not good at it. Sometimes it seems as if I am on the AM frequency and everybody else is on the FM frequency

OK so I went. I had so much fun!!
It was all indoors, they had a vendor area and tons of shopping. The eye candy was everywhere. Wranglers on almost every man. I felt a little bit like a dog just staring but my goodness the sites WOW. I did see the guy - he was working with the cattle. I stopped by where he was at after it was over and we talked for probably 30 minutes and then he had to get back to work. So who knows but it was fun and I am glad I got out of my comfort zone and all I can say is I like Wrangler jeans. Ladies I tell ya this is the thing to do. I think there is a circuit we could follow 
WOW
