Off to a great start...

^^I can't determine if that's cute or obsessive-like scary.

"...thinking about something or someone too much or in a way that is not normal : having an obsession : showing or relating to an obsession"

I slept like a baby before that. She was actually in my dreams in a non sexual way. It was sort of an extension of the date. Conversation stuff but with a more familiar feel to it. So, it's certainly not normal as I had just met her and had not thought of her much more than a little pre date anticipation. Yesterday was very normal business oriented stuff.

Last night when I was up, I posted about a couple politics things so, I am normal Larry and it's not like she is all I can think about.

Now, as I am using this as a relationship lab, I did do something bizarre and totally out of character this AM.


I folded my clean socks and put them away.

 

[Bann]

Funny you should ask...

She got there before me, had no idea I supply the place or, that I specifically serve restaurants and, before I recommended the ahi, she'd said she saw a fabulous looking salad come out she was thinking about.

I think she's a 'go' on NATURAL salad.

Awww, I think it's cute!

 

[DoWhat]

I'm up at 2am thinking about her.

Because you are wanting to tag it.

Holy ####, it must be love!

 

[Larry Gude]

Holy ####, it must be love!

I laughed at myself as I was doing it, shaking dust off of socks that have been cleaned and balled up for months. I do have more pairs than I remember.

Now, clinically, for our purposes here, it is my thought that because I was expressly aware of it while I was doing it, that my heart was light and my mood happy because of the date, that that is not near as kooked out as doing it and not realizing it. Or waking up in a cold sweat at some neighbors house elbow deep in their socks with the police speaking to me in a very calm, low voice.

Right?

 

[Larry Gude]

Because you are wanting to tag it.

That is an inappropriate, obnoxious, stupid, totally typical of how a dumb ass guy thinks and absolutely out of place in context of the ongoing social study us mature adults are trying to conduct here for the betterment of man, and woman, kind sort of moron Beavis and Butt head type question. A-hole.






Or course I want to tag that.

Right?

If that's what you need to tell yourself...

 

[Larry Gude]

Every body knows what this feels like.

Really good.

You've been bitten by the luv bug bad!!

 

[Larry Gude]

You've been bitten by the luv bug bad!!

I'm too old for that and, besides, I use a fungus to ward off bugs.

 

[Bann]

I'm too old for that and, besides, I use a fungus to ward off bugs.

NO ONE is too old for love, Larry.

 

[Larry Gude]

NO ONE is too old for love, Larry.

I know.

 

[vraiblonde]

Yeah.

Larry, as someone who actually knows you and has a sorta kinda vested interest in your happiness in some form, I don't want to see your libido writing checks that your psyche cannot cash. So I'm going to be a hypocrite and tell you to take it slooooooooow and don't jump in head first. There is no rush to find your next ex-wife - she is out there somewhere and you don't want to be entangled with Ms. Wrong just because you wanted to get laid, when Ms. Right may be up for parole any day now.

Have a couple more dates, bang her if you must, then when I get back from FL not next week but the week after, I'll schedule my interview with her.

 

[Ken King]

Yeah.

I am taking it slow. We did not end up in the back seat of the car last night.

Plus, she's got a good job and reasonable distance.

I didn't marry Lori and, admit it, you're surprised, right? And I've been on three dates in the last month or so and nothing, na da, no proposals, no school rings, no tatoos. So, there. Restraint. Patience. You like apples? How you like them apples?

How is that being a hypocrite?

Frankly, that is the raitonale behind this entire thread; input from people who don't know me at all but, are people who've dated/married/buried bodies, what have you. People who sorta know me who have dated/mated/married with varying degrees of success and, most of all, you, who does know me perhaps better than anyone other than the last couple years of growth, maturity, development and...uh...err...vintage-ish-ness.

Truth; after we got divorced, you're money was on how long before I married again? 1, 2, 10, 15 minutes? Ha. Ha I say.

 

[vraiblonde]

Something like that. You're a marrying person, nothing wrong with that.

How is that being a hypocrite?

On April 12, I couldn't have picked Monello out of a lineup - he was pretty much a stranger except for one unremarkable meeting at a party (he was my friend's date) and a month or so of emailing. On April 13 we had our first date; just a date, no slobbering. On April 15, we had our second date and on April 16 he started moving his things in.

So I'm probably the last person to tell someone else to take it slow.
