So I've had some interesting man conversations over the past few weeks. Let's start with man #--well I've lost count.
So I ruh into this seemingly nice man online who happens to be from my town. We chat for a couple of days and then decide, "yeah, lets meet for coffee" We are both pleasant enough to look at and he assures me he has all his teeth. So then the day before we are going to meet he says to me, "it doesn't bother you that I'm married?" My jaw dropped open and then I began to laugh. I said back to him, "yes it does bother me, you should have told me sooner, nice knowing you." Another one bites the dust.
On to the next one.....another online meeting. Once again with a guy from my own town. This one may take a little longer to talk about. Maybe I can sum it up quickly. This is a Christian man who wants nothing to do with organized religion because he used to be a deacon and once had to fire a pastor. So? As my former pastor would have said, "build a bridge and get over it." I told him that it is important for me to date a man who is a church goer. I don't compromise my morals and principals for the sake of a date. So then we talk about our health issues. I'll accept his, he accepts mine. However, EVERY conversation he has to talk about how much he likes to kiss and cuddle and snuggle and give back rubs and foot massages and when are we going out for coffee, when are you coming over to play Scrabble and more talk about kissing and holding hands and blah blah blah. Hey I'm sure I like to kiss and snuggle as much as the next person but come on. It's such a turn off to me when a Christian man talks about physical stuff. Especially when he talks about it ALL THE TIME. If I were sitting across the table from him the only thing I would be thinking of is he is probably imagining giving me a foot massage and cuddling with me on the couch. No thank you. I'm not a prude, I'm just not giving my cuddles away to just anyone.
So here are two more cases that I can report on in my book, "The Joy of Singleness" :-)
I just want a nice Christian man who will go to church with me, open my car door, take my arm as we walk, who has a job, who likes cats, baseball, movies, dining out, and having nice, wholesome conversation. And it would help if he was good looking too! LOL
