OK, I need a date. My horoscope even says it. Now, what do I do to get out? Remember that I'm in the burbs, and while a trek to the city sounds enticing, I don't want to date anyone from the city, the commute is ******.

Any suggestions?

Horoscope

"June will be just made for travel, friends, fun, and relaxation. You've walked over a long difficult road lately, and very soon you will be able to breathe free, dear Aquarius. More about that in a moment!

As you begin the month, you'll have a packed house of people / fun / events and friendship. The waning full moon will still have plenty of power and influence from Friday, June 1 through Sunday, June 3. "

Ah Gekko, what is said in jest is sometimes true.
I like hearing that Gekko.
My comments come from many years of emotional abuse from X.

My kids and I watched a special that said:
If you have to say "Just Kidding" after a statement, then it is highly likely you should be saying "I'm sorry" afterward.
That seems to have stuck in the minds around my house.

Now, get together again you two because we need some activity on this site.

nothing all the bowling guy!!!!

Oh well, my life seems to be pretty full with guys right now anyways!!!!

My son, DIL and newest grandson moved into the basement today, and my other two grandsons are here 6 nights out of the week, so that is enough male action for me, I guess. My oldest grandson tells me continuely that he loves me and that is awesome!!!

Bowling guy, the league is over, he didn't show up at the tournament nor did he ask anyone who I was. So nothing happened!! Oh well, that's life. Like I said I've got enough males in my life for the time being!!!

Daybreak,
It just means that the timing isn't quite right yet.
But didn't it feel good to find someone in whom you were interested? Sometimes we need just that to carry us over.

I had a date this weekend with someone from Chemistry.com. Third date, but I hadn't seen him in 2 months due to my hectic schedule. Dates are nice. I'm still trying to decide if I can date someone who dresses better than me (I mean far better). He's foreign and has style and fashion sense. These are not necessarily traits I value, as I am more of a plain, ordinary, non-designer person. And he carries a manbag. Still, having a date was nice.

|Hi newly,

I just couldn't let the mention of a "manbag" go without comment.

Your European sensibilities must have kicked in if the "manbag" is a non-issue. Or, maybe you find men who can pull off a manbag HOT? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Interestingly, he's Asian, not European. Definitely a different type for me. And the manbag was Louis Vuitton.

You sneaky little thing Newly!

Nice to hear you had a date. I like guys who dress well. However, you got me on the 'manbag'. I think that one would put me over the edge. And designer too, yep, for sure over the edge!
But, that's me, Ms Picky.
I want the manly man, who dresses well and is thoughtful. Oh, and nice looking would be an added bonus!
Do they come like that?

I hope so K, because that's what I want too. But considerate and impeccable manners are outweighing the manbag issue today.
And, he traveled out of the city to come see me. He said he'd never been to my state before. I couldn't resist driving over the river and taking him into the next state too. He volunteered to come out this way again which is big for a city dweller with no car.
He's also very slight, and I am not a supermodel size, so I typically prefer larger men.
For now, I will just enjoy having a dating option.

Hey, I am foreign, and I have no sense of style or fashion, and do not carry a manbag.
