This now brings you up-to-date. Apart from Mr. Chatty I have done very little dating in the past month. I have been talking online to a few guys:
One who wanted to know my weight or a full-body picture before he met me. Maybe that's a reasonable request, I don't know but I felt really uncomfortable about it so I let that one go.
Another who I texted backwards and forwards for ages every day and frequently until he said to me "I'm beginning to love you" (we had not met). And I also discovered that he only met up with his kids once a week in a public place for 1.5hrs (I'm assuming supervised-visits). I didn't want to meet him after that.
A third who I'm currently still talking to who has told me he'd love to one day have a big landscaped section with lots of animals around - but specifically mentioned geese, swans and peacocks. What was more odd was that he seemed to know quite a bit about them in detail.
A fourth who I'm meeting up with tomorrow who sounds really nice but he is a taxi-driver. Don't get me wrong, I am not a snob, but I do think that that a couple has to be able to connect intellectually and I have had quite a bit of education so I really don't know how it's going to work out unless he's studying on the side or has more dreams and aspirations than driving a car.
I know how this all sounds to some of you - that I am extremely picky and maybe I am. Or maybe I'm just having trouble finding someone that's suited to me. That has the package of being intelligent and attractive with that little spark between us? And at the same time, it is true that I am scared not only of being hurt or of "putting myself out there" and getting rejected - but also of finding someone who is destructive for me in the way that my ex-husband was. That old saying - once bitten, twice shy. So to be fair, at least I'm giving it a chance and being brave.
If you have an opinion on how it's going so far, please add your comments or vote on the polls. In the meantime, I'll let you know how it all goes with 'The Taxi Driver' tomorrow...

Would love to know if the person voting that I would "never" met anyone was my ex-husband? Lol..
