I've been talking with a a couple of women on the dating site for the last couple weeks, and today, I met one of them. In the course of our conversations, it came out that she's not really interested in dating right now due to various things in her life, but she's been learning guitar for a while & is trying to get a group together. I told her that I was open for that (and to be honest, I wasn't really sure about dating her, but obviously I didn't tell her that!).
We met today at a local park where there weren't too many people, and both brought our guitars. Neither of us played through an entire song, but we shared a bit of what we're learning, had some conversations about music, chords/chord structures, etc, but also about other 'life in general' things. I think we hit it off, and she seems pretty cool so far. She's trying to get a group going at our local 'Senior Center', which is a place for people 50 years old & up - has anyone else ever heard of someone being called a 'Senior' at 50? I think it's a bit ridiculous! Anyway, I told her I'd come when it starts up, in order to help out & support her a bit, but before then, we're likely going to meet a couple more times.
I'm not sure how it'll go overall, whether I'll want to continue learning with others (as it pretty much goes against my introvert nature), but I'm going to give it a shot for a while.
I've got an appointment to have my winter tires swapped out for summer ones next Saturday (not tomorrow), after which, I have tentative plans to drive about an hour east of here to meet the other gal I've been writing with. I have a feeling that will go well too, but who knows? Since she has kids & their schedule is pretty hectic, I offered to make the trip to her for our 1st meeting to see if we vibe. If so, she said she'd have no problem meeting in the middle somewhere, or alternating trips, if we continue to see each other. I was pleased at that, because it shows a willingness to compromise that I've rarely seen in the dating world so far. To be honest, I'm not terribly keen on this one either, but she does seem nice, and we have things in common (aside from the kids issue), so I want to see how things go in person.
I've written to several others on the site, but these are the only two who have replied so far. I've also had a couple of messages from women, but they're completely not my type, so I thanked them for the message but told them I wasn't feeling a connection. I hope that was a polite enough way to let them down?
I think I'm going to cancel this membership at the end of May, just before it's up, and then maybe I'll get a 3-month membership to the other one I'm on, so I can see who's previously liked me, and to see if being a subscriber helps with getting any replies. I'm not confident in that.
I'm still relatively ok with being single, but man, it would be nice to have someone (or even a couple someones) with whom to share this life...
