met a nice guy

after the disastrous date with Older Dude, i didn't have any other dates for a couple of more months.  it didn't matter, i was busy getting my son & i settled into our new schools and reconnecting with my girlfriends.  oh, there was a trip to buffalo for one of my VA friend's wedding...my flight was diverted to DC where i was stuck for a night so i called Teach.  he got his ass to my hotel as soon as he could ;).  that was a nice diversion!

sometime in november, my friend christy & i went to a local country bar to listen to a singer she enjoys.  Dale Watson - kind of reminded me of  "the silver fox," Charlie Rich who i grew up listening to with my parents.  it was a very small crowd - the bar had just re-opened and didn't do well advertising Dale Watson's appearance.  i met Military Man that evening.  he could dance, a big plus in my book as i love country-western dancing.  he was also funny and interesting.  and he kissed very well (which as you know by now is a big draw for me :).  we danced, drank & talked & closed the place down!  so we exchanged numbers...& he texted that morning - i really like it when guys do that.

we talked a couple of days later & met at Pappadeux - one of my fave restaurants - for dinner & drinks.  interesting guy!  military reserve, from La., divorced w 2 kids &, of course, quite a bit younger than me at 35.  no problem there!  dinner was very enjoyable & there was definitely chemistry so we made another date AND he asked me to attend his military ball with him!
