Back on topic :)

as i was saying earlier, dating a 20 something is different than dating someone closer to my age. There's the stamina in the bedroom, of course, but there's more honesty to them.  i don't know if they're as honest with women their own age, probably not.  but the 20 somethings i dated last year were very upfront with me and that, i really appreciated.

like i said, i almost blew it w CC.  i got upset one evening when he was texting while sitting on the couch watching TV w me & made it obvious i was upset.  but instead of saying anything, i acted like an idiot, told him it was time for him to go & promptly took him to the metro.  it was a silly incident that could have led to the demise of our friendship but fortunately didn't.  UNFORTUNATELY, we weren't able to see each other after that.  his scholarship in DC ended and back home to Tulsa he went :(.  we are still in touch though ;).

after my cougar experience, i decided to try to meet someone closer to my age so i tried some free online dating sites, primarily Facebook.  that's where i met the hot ex-cop, MMA dude.  and he was only a little closer to my age being 33.  hey!  i tried!  anyway, after some great dialogue through FB & a few good phone conversations we met at a Silver Diner.  (i must let you know that every time i go out w someone new, i text my girl friends w the name of the guy & the place where we meet.  they usually text me later in the date to make sure all is OK.  it's an unsafe world out there so you have to be careful!).  the convo ran smoothly, he's an interesting guy so we decided to go over to Friday's for a drink.  the night ended well; more texting, emailing, & phone convos ensued.  then it all comes down to the real reason he was seeing me.

 ian spent the night out w a friend one eve so i decided to have mr. mma over for dinner and a movie.  this would be our 2nd date & when i want to get to know someone i stand by the 3rd date rule :).  had a great time, made out on the couch for a bit (i do like to do that!) and it was time for him to go.  i didn't want it to go any further...i really wanted to get to know this guy!  seemed it was fine with him but then the emails took a stronger, sexual turn & it soon became obvious he only wanted to add me as another notch to his bed post.  he stood me up the following weekend and that was that for me.  & that was the end of my seeking a relationship online.  for a little while, at least ;).
