Guy #1 - Mr. Clean. The most promising and intelligent, but he might just be a little too clean. Has been married one time with no kids and seems to be a little too used to living alone. Is some kind of scientist and has written a book (who hasn't these days?) which actually seems interesting to me. He's out of town for the holidays but continues to write and says he wants to meet. I'm not too sure this will happen though, because he seems to like being a pen pal a little too much. He can stay on the back burner for a while while I decide if he's interesting enough. Already he has lost points by telling me that he was such a funny guy and to prove it he copied and pasted a few old unfunny jokes from Jack Benny's time.
Guy #2 - Jersey Boy. The most knowledgeable about stuff I'm interested in, and the most spiritual sounding of the bunch. Has read a lot of the same books on the subjects and we have a few philosophical discussions, but he seems a little angry at the women in his past for all of the spirituality he spouts. Example: in his first email to me he writes, "...you need to meet one of my main requirements: no drama."
Guy #3 - The Boy next Door. The funniest and most comfortable to talk with, but also the one with no job right now and therefore no money. Coincidentally, he used to live a few blocks away from me 10 years ago, back when I was married, and so was he (to his third ex-wife). We didn't know each other then, but had friends in common in the neighborhood. He is always on the dating website when I log on, so we have IM'd a lot with some pretty fun banter. As easy as it is to chat with him, the lack of a job is a problem for me, as is the many miles away he now lives, and the fact that he can't drive because of his injury. I find myself trying to make excuses for him, but the fact is that I need to set my sights higher.
Guy #4: - Sexual healer. Yes, that's officially his job, so of course I'm never going to meet him, but he's not as flaky on the phone as he sounds, even though his official title is an "alternate lifestyle sex coach." I can't imagine how anyone could make a living doing that, and what kind of health benefits or retirement package it provides, but I'm not going to date him, so it's really a moot point. He is really cute and sincere sounding and it was fun to be greeted by him as my first contact, but that's as far as it went.
Guy #5: - Bicycle Man. I almost didn't include him. I thought his picture was adorable and his profile had a lot of similarities to mine (same job, our kids are the same age, etc.), so I sent him a wink. Instead of responding, he would visit my profile every night for two weeks with no reply. I know this because every time I signed on I would look at the visitors to my profile, and I'd see him on the list. Finally one day, a reply! Said he liked my profile and would love to meet me. I agreed, and so that's how I got my first date of 2012.
The date went very well, I'm happy to report, and will be followed up by a second one this weekend. More on that later.
