Anyone else meeting someone this week?
This guy is from another dating site. He hotlisted me in 2003 when I moved to Atl. He was nice but separated then, not divorced. Not my thing.
So I went on that site and he had me hotlisted last week. I did not remember him at all and contacted him. He knew who I was right away. I was like, huh? We wrote before?
We are going for Thai tonight, a favorite 1st date for me. And it is a restaurant that just happens to be 3 miles from me, which is a great place to try. I had never heard of it, and I'm a Thai fiend.
The only thing is that I swear this - I am in the worst mood today than I have been in for over a year. No joke. I have work problems, family problems, some nagging(but not serious) health problems,all kind of problems. And my soldier friend was seriously injured and it pisses me off even more. I usually take the good with the bad ok, but I've been crying or arguing with family members all morning.
So this should be interesting. I am not really feeling the chemistry anyway. he is not exactly feminine, but is too "nice", he's a cat person, and he told me that he is his mother's favorite. I'm sure he is. Whatever.

Haha, I am a cat person, but I don't think I have ever been called feminine because of it, that is a new one! Bringing up mom though, hmmm you have to worry about that sometimes.

Go out! Thai Food! 
Sounds like alot of stress girl. Will do you good. Don't need chemistry. You do need to get out. Have some conversation. Get your mind off things. Don't pre-judge this guy. One never knows.......
And, hang in there. This too shall pass. We all have bad days........  Then we can appreciate the good days. Things will get better.
Soooooo......whatcha gonna wear??
Mmmmm.....Thai food

LOL hang in there girl! And *good* on ya for venting, it's a healthy and productive catharic release!
A nice dinner-out may be just what you need to shift your gears again, and since you are (wisely!) self-aware that you aren't really on your game today, you can be kind enough to let him know when you meet-up or when you make that pre-date confirmation call. If nothing else, that'll be a litmus test for how he deals with you as a real person with a real life (and one that's not always rosy).
Take care of yourself as much as you can today, and please accept my well-wishes on behalf of your injured friend (that is so sad and I am *sure* it is stressful for you!). Lol take a nice, deep breathe and open your mind re: his being "too nice" and a "cat person" (lol I have 2 siamese cats who are my widdle-diddums -- stop groaning, you know how we cat ppl are!) and being a possible Mama's Boy.
Looks like you've already anticipated the worst that could happen, so you'll be ready to roll your eyes and roll with it should that come to pass: Now hope for the *best* and give life a chance to pleasantly surprise you.
If nothing else, enjoy that yummy Thai food! Mmm, I am mad for a nice satay-chicken with a spicy peanut sauce and some coconut rice!
Enviously at least re supper, lol,
~Z

Oh sjp....what a crappy day/week! I think dinner out is the perfect solution! Here is someone who is not part of all of the things that is driving you nuts and you will get a great meal on top of it! Let your ego be flattered that he remembers you...dress fun.. go out..have a drink or two and just enjoy the nigtht!!
Whats the worse that can happen? He will drone on about Momma and his cats! :-)
Relax..have fun.. its a great way to break the trend of a bad mood!

Yep, screw it all...I am going anyway, my only concern is that I'll start bawling or something. I only cry like 2 times a year, but it ain't pretty!
What to wear...I think I will wear a black Johnny collar sweater, Khaki corduroy knee length skirt, and black sheepskin lined clogs that have a bit of a heel.

May I suggest something too? A long hot bubble bath with some candles and music. Clear your mind. Do what you can to relax and enjoy your self.
Oh, and why do I see you in a "little black dress"?
Ok, that might be too much. A red sweater!!!! Ok, I love the color of your hair and those dark colors would give you the "bewitching look" I can't help myself here!!!!!!
Forgive me,,

Ahhh I feel so stupid, I swear when most of you change your pix I have no idea who you are. I guess its just her nic but when waitin said that about what you should wear (I agree that would be cute) I went to your profile and went to your other pix. I didnt know that was you HaHa.. Makes no sense eh? LoL

Bath! That is the best ides I've heard in a long time! Running one now. My nerves are shot. Not about the date though. Strangely, feeling completely disturbed today overshadows first date jitters. I don't care if he like me or not!

Eechhh well, he was nice.
He likes Jewish women because he likes brunette curvy intelligent ladies. In other words, he was salivating over me. He wanted to take me to the Woody Allen movie after dinner to "try something". I don't know what he wanted to try, but I did not want to find out either.
He talks about church constantly. It is a very big part of his life. Though he says he is Agnostic. He also was married to a Lesbian for 9 years and saw another woman during the marriage. That part was kinda interesting.
He made me promise a raincheck because I did not feel like going to the movie, but I don't think so.
I went to a coffee shop afterwards for my fav Chai tea, wanting to shake off my bad day, but they said they were closed. So I went to a bar and drank a Red Stripe by myself....Yippee
I wore what I had mentioned except for a Khaki v-neck sweater instead of the Black Johnny collar. It was a good enough choice.
The End. Some guy has emailed me on here...better see who it is :)
