FIVE WORST THINGS TO SAY TO YOUR (MALE) DATE

Never, ever say these things to your date:

1.  Your hands look really small.

2.  Is that your real hair?

3.  You might want to wipe the shine from the
    top your head.

4.  What kind of car do you drive?

5.  How much money do you make?

What are the five worse things you can think of???

COUPONS ON THE FIRST DATE???

Coupons on a first date? Hmmm...

So I understand that we're in hard economic times, but when you first take a guy out, or they take you out, I'm a firm believer of letting them know they're worth your time and money.  And when you, me or the guy/gal pulls out a coupon to pay for dinner - well, it says, not so much.

Ouch!

I say if the dating goes well, pull it out after the third or fourth date?

Just my opinion.  What do you think?

THE BIRD MAN

Well this is what I did...like I said before I'm new at all the stuff.  And he was nice looking, not really my type but hey he bought "Eat Pray Love," so he's the sensitive type, right?

So I invited him to sit down.  We talked for a little bit.  He seemed inhibited and intimidated - which is weird since I never thought of myself as intimidating.  Turns out he was a bird watcher.  That's right, a bird watcher!  As much as I love birds I have never had an interest in standing around (or crawling around) to watch them.  But as he talked on, and on, it turns out its a very social thing.  Who knew?   

Bird watching in California is big.

Anyway, he seemed nice so when he asked me for my number, I gave it.

 

btw, I know this looks like a cute little finchy bird, but this is a Bullock's Oriole 

Should I go out with the bird man if he calls?

A SWEET DATE

Ah, Dating...(or in my case, the 

lack there of)

Nothing fills up a dateless night like watching Netflix (TV shows you've always wanted to watch with no commercials, YAY!) and a big slice of red velvet cake.

Yes, tonight sweets (and wine) are my date.  And I'm not ashamed of it.  Red Velvet cupcakes are my favorite in the whole-wide world.  

What's your favorite??? 

Movie Star Crush

They don't make em like this anymore. 

SEX AFTER MARRIAGE???

Recently, I read this article in More Magazine about sex after divorce, and realized how terrified I am about ever having to do this again.  

I was married for fifteen years, and though I still have a libido, I can't imagine giving it up to just anyone.  Yes I am older and my body has changed, but more than that I just am truly terrified of getting intimate with someone else at this point in my life and being dumped by them.  

I love to date, but it seams after two or three with the same guy they are ready for a roll in the hay.  So far I haven't been.   I've only been separated for a few months.  Maybe I'm being to hard on myself.  What do you think?

WIDGETS, TWITTER AND BLOGS, OH MY!

I sat down to the computer at 10 a.m. and it's now 3:36 p.m.  It's insane how obsessed I am with it right now.  Between scoping out new widgets, twitter backgrounds, and website templates for online social media stuff it's a wonder I ever get anything done.  

And I'm obsessed with blogs.  I love researching them and reading them.  Better than reading a book or watching TV sometimes.  

But hey, I guess if you're gonna have an addiction web surfing is better than drinking, smoking or drugs.  And cheaper by far...

BAGGAGE HOLDING

So I'm wondering where we all should go to find our own Mr. Middle-Aged Right??  The problem is, though I think most men look better as they age, they all come with some sort of baggage - as do most women.  I guess the thing is, how do you know how much baggage is too much baggage?  I mean, Kids and ex's are a given at this stage of most of our lives, but when is it too much?
