People often refer to older single's as 'leftovers.' Well, I am no leftover, nor do I deserve to settle for someone that is.

On The Horizon...

I’ve been holding out on you. That’s right I have date #5 tonight!! So, the other day this guy called me. Remember a long time ago when my friend said he worked with a pretty cool guy that is 30, single, and willing to be set up? Well, that guy FINALLY called! He’s the one who likes baseball and that’s all I know about him…or knew until he called. We talked for over 40 minutes on the phone so I know that we can converse okay. He lives kind of far away but he’s coming to pick me up for dinner tonight nonetheless. He seems pretty cool but I really hate to make any judgments before I meet him in person. My google searches have been unfulfilling on this one so I guess we’ll just have to wait until tonight. Meanwhile, I’m actually going to study my questions, come up with more for him since we’ve already talked, and read up on what’s going on in the sports world because he’s a fan.

Other Updates:

Well, I haven’t heard from #4 in awhile. He doesn’t get online that often and is probably trying to avoid me, I don’t know. Not so Superman texted me the other day. I was nice and texted back a few times but when he asked me what I bought him while I was out shopping, I knew I had to draw the line and cut that conversation right there. I haven’t mentioned Gentleman #1 in awhile. He’s great. We talk all the time. I think that we are better friends now, since we went out. That’s all it is though and I’m okay with that now. He’s a fun kid and I like being his friend.

As for you…I am SOOO proud of my friends! I keep hearing success stories of several of you putting yourselves out there and taking chances. That makes me so happy. We can do this! All of us!! And those of you who have already achieved this seemingly insurmountable task of finding a husband/spouse…we appreciate your support. Well, wish me luck tonight and pray that he’s not a real weirdo!!
