dating

All about dating. First dates, three years into a relationship, Tinder, and more.

The Glass Came With
I can hear the trolley approaching, although I'm staring at the chipped red polish thru my peekaboo heels. "You definitely went too hard getting dressed dude", I think to myself. To be fair, it was a blind date and I was told formal wear to an Italian bistro, not a pizzeria that happened to have a liquor license. I dig around in my coat pocket, grateful for its enveloping comfort as I wait to board the trolley, searching for the ticket I had just purchased and feeling it tap my fingertips and easing the slight anxiety itch that had started to creep in. I maneuver myself up the steps and slide into a windowed corner ready to sink into whatever sulking defeat awaited.

Matchmakers Make Senior Dating in California Easier

The quiz
The sun shone into the window of her fourth-story flat, the reflection from the neighboring skyscraper created a laser-like reflection where the marble tile met the wall, and Edgar, the cat thought it was his own personal play toy. Shazi had placed a special crystal on the window, the kind that made rainbow spectrums shoot all over the room, she stood up from her perch at her desk to walk over and tapped the crystal, creating confetti of rainbow splatter, Edgar pounced delightfully down the hallway chasing rainbows.

Where it began ...
Red. The colour my eyes had been after having spent what felt like days sobbing. With my eyes stinging in the corners now, I reach over to my – our, vintage bedside for my peppermint tea and a napkin.

Spilt Wine
Christy looked around the busy bar as her date droned on endlessly. She had been tuned out of the conversation for a while now, not that Emerson seemed to notice. As she watched some of the group’s dancing, she was distracting herself with what she was going to do to get back at her friend for setting up this awful date. Emerson moved into her line of vision looking at her expectantly. Shaking herself free of her spacing out, Christy focused on him. ‘Sorry, what were you asking.’

Double date with my parents
My mother went back to college as soon as I was graduating. She talked about this guy in her class so many times that I felt like I had already met him. Michael this...Michael that...Michael Michael Michael! Ugh! I was surprised that my dad was not annoyed with her. My mom was talking about him so much and mentioned how he was very good looking and my age. I at first thought that she was just trying to cover her tracks and use talking to him and about him as a scapegoat to continue her friendship. I was a little taken aback when she had suggested “Oh hey, you and your friends should hang out with Michael so that he can have more friends”. Umm excuse me?! Cue the meme of Nick Young looking confused. I told her no and I thought that this was going to be the end of it. Boy was I wrong!

It is six and a half in the afternoon on a Friday. It is now dinner time. Traffic on the adjacent road to the restaurant is getting crazier by the minute.

I See Red
There were the usual small candles at each table. The walls, with a darker hue on the bottom half, really made the calm visual ambiance and yet, Vicki knew this restaurant was different. In spite of the variety of dishes she saw on nearby tables, this classy restaurant didn’t smell like nothing nor was it inundated with flowers to overcome such a gap. This restaurant, Chez…something or other - - “Oh my,” Vicki wondered to herself. “I seem to have forgotten the name of this place!” She resolved to check out the name of the restaurant on her way out since it was too fancy to have a menu and her boss was picking up the tab on this one.

Wining and dining
I knew the date was going to be a bad one almost as soon as we were seated at the restaurant. He was the nephew of a coworker who spoke highly of him. I took some convincing (not a fan of blind dates) but after some negotiation, the date was set up. We first met in person when he showed up at my workplace for the date. My coworkers gawked and muttered approvingly. He was a pleasant and fairly attractive man but I wasn't wowed by my first impression. I asked a few questions about his background, his likes and dislikes, and quickly realized that his conversational skills were somewhat limited unless he was speaking about himself. During the cab ride to the restaurant he dominated the conversation, enthusiastically telling me about a wine tasting class he had just taken. The restaurant had been recommended by his teacher because of their extensive wine selection. Despite the mostly one-sided conversation I was intrigued and looking forward to a nice evening.

A new chapter
The last thing I'm thinking about is dating! Since my husband died four years ago i haven't even started talking to a man much less think about long term relationships. Yes, i know im only 51 & yes i agree surviving life here on Earth would be easier with a partner, but I am not sure I'm ready. The old saying goes " you will never be ready so why not the present" Take a leap of faith I've been told, the future starts now they said. My friends really do love me and only want to see me happy. I understand that and I am so grateful to have such a good support system in my life. I keep telling them we'll see but i guess now i have no other choice since Stacy already agreed for me to meet a co worker of hers for appetizers & wine on Friday at the new hot spot downtown.
