Ha ha ha ha haaaa! You won't believe what happened....
some random guy in the Whole Foods store asked for my phone number. I've gotten to where I just chit chat away with anybody pretty much anywhere. This guy was really tall, and I tried to resist but I finally asked him how tall he was. He said 4'30" and seemed impressed that I could figure out his height.
I did not tell him that I have an insane ex-husband, five kids, and I'm probably at least 10 years older than he is. It felt good anyway.

SC You must have been tired when you posted, because 4'30" is 6'6". And, yeah, I did give him my number. I'm not sure what I'll do if he actually calls, though. Heck, it was the first time in nearly 30 years that a man asked for my phone number because he thought I was cute.

That is way cool...whether he calls or not! Nice to be noticed.

Thanks, Migs.
By the way, the guy DID call. He asked me to do something tonight, but I told him that I needed more notice than that. And I told him how many kids I have. He probably won't call again. The whole episode makes me smile, though.

Just throwing it out there for your consideration. I think one cannot assume what will or won't be a deal breaker when it comes to the kid department. I was glad to hear of your encounter. It's nice that you are getting some confidence back and having some adventure. There are a lot of good guys out there. opt Opt, I have FIVE children.

Happy New Year, y'all!
I'm hanging with my buncha' kids. The year 2010 was the worst year of my life. This year was much better despite all the drama with Himself. I'm expecting 2012 to be even better.
Thanks for all the support you all have provided this year!

Kirby, what you were suppose to say is " Love to meet you some where for ______ fill that in where you want a coffee or dinner..... That way you can tell him in person that you have 5 kids, then as the shock of that is settling in on him, you can add only 2 of them are still in high school while you flash your baby blues at him......
By the way I'm claiming jet lag on my math issues

SC, you get to claim jet lag. This time.
The reason I didn't tell the guy I wanted to meet him for _____ is because I didn't really want to. He seemed way too young for me.
I think I need to flash the baby blues at men who are just a little more mature. It's just harder to figure out people's ages as you get older.

Hey, I'm a dude so, this may be overstepping my bounds but, I would have definitely gone out with that guy, at least once. I'm a firm believer that it is important to get out there and see what you like and don't like about certain dating partners. That way, when the right one comes along, you'll know. After all, the worst that could happen is that he buys you a free dinner:-)

After all, the worst that could happen is that he buys you a free dinner:-) Nah, the worst that could happen is that he could be an axe murderer. That's a joke. I have met lots of women that I initially "met" on the internet through a forum. We always kidded around about whether or not any of us were axe murderers and at one weekend meetup some of them did a skit about it. I would be pretty cautious about meeting someone alone if I didn't know them very well. I don't think this guy was dangerous, but I don't know for certain. One reason I turned him down is because he did not ask me out to dinner at some point in the next day or two. Instead he asked me to meet him immediately at a bar or to go to a party where there would be a hot tub. Sounded kinda' sketchy to me.

Oh, I see. Your actions make sense, then. I was just thinking how I would feel if I mustered the courage to ask a woman out randomly at a grocery store but got rejected. Wow, some guys are just straight slime balls!

If I was remotely interested, I would have told him I couldn't that night but what about ___ night? That way he'd know you're interested and not just brushing him off. And no need to tell him you have five kids right away, at least have one date first...if you pique his interest, he'll be back. BTW, my late husband was one of ELEVEN kids and his mom got asked out! Ya never know!
