Hey all....been divorced this month for 2 years and seperated for a year before that, and tonight I have my first date that is not from online dating site:wink:

And, I am MORE nervous than I am with the online dates.

After my final chem exam, a group of 4 of us went to lunch and one of my friends mentioned her very nice, single guy friend. She has been in a relationship for 17 years, so I knew he was just a friend, so I asked her to set me up (was about 3 weeks after breakup), so she told me to look him up in her facebook friends, and if I was interested she would let him know. I looked at his facebook page, and told her I could be interested. She asked if it would be ok to give him my number so he could text and I gave her permission to do it. Never heard anything, though his mom had just passed add to Christmas and New Years, so I didn't expect to hear anything right away. When I got back from my cruise, I had a friend request, so I accepted, and we started emailing, moved to texting and are meeting tonight :flowerforyou:

Wish me luck :flowerforyou:

    Update on date last night.

    My date was late....he got a bit lost, and could not find the restaurant we were meeting at. That was partially my fault--the place is called "The Hideaway" because it is tucked away, hidden from the main road, and I probably should have thought to tell him that. Anyway, he finally got there and he looked like his pics (yay), a bit smaller than I thought but all good, and great smile--teeth so nice, I wondered if they were fake...lol.

    Anyway conversation went very well, and we had dinner-2 hours at the restaurant and then he had to get home--he is not night owl (neither am I ) and he has to get up at 4:30 am, so I did expect early evening. We walked to our cars and I got a hug and he said he had a great time, and I said I did too ....then he asked about getting back to highway. He did not say anything about getting together again. :cry:

    Then when I got home, I texted him to please text me that he got home safely (was getting icy), and thanks for dinner and was nice to meet him. A short while later, He said he was safely home and was great to meet me to.

    I figured may as well bit the bullet, what have I got to lose, so I told him I would be interested in seeing him again, but did realize he had a very full schedule. He said it would be tough at times, but he thought I was cool and was interested in getting to know me better....so I guess now we will see what happens :smile:
