Am I Ever Going To Go Out On A Real Date Again?
New haircut—check. New outfit—check. Okay, I thought I was ready to try this single thing again.
I was sitting across from a man while eating lunch one day and struck up a conversation with him. His name was Richard and he said he ran the county’s homeless shelter. He was relatively good-looking and appeared to be normal.
We left the restaurant and I began to drive away. I looked out my rearview mirror and saw him still standing there in the parking lot. I didn’t give it a second thought until around 9 p.m. that evening when I received a collect call from him.
I accepted the call, then heard him apologizing for the collect call. He said he had something to tell me. He wanted to be honest with me: He said he didn’t run the homeless shelter but he lived in the homeless shelter!
I listened and began shaking my head. I thought back to that afternoon when I left the restaurant and he was just standing there. He probably had to catch the bus!
As I hung up, I thought that’s "just my luck" and wondered, am I ever going to go out on a real date again?
When you least expect it ... POW
Just keep going.
What happens to me is that I go for weeks with nothing. Then, out of nowhere, there he is. I wink. Or play coy and a little hard to get. The tease and act is fun.
Believe it or not I think guys like to simply play. No strings. Just old fashion flirting. Something may come of it or not. Often the most responsive are already married.
I remember Ted, though, he acted single and we started a fling ... was actually married ... we got caught. His wife's best friend saw us going somewhere we shouldn't have.
Oh well ... back to winking.

I cannot believe some of the men you have been exposed to. It seems that you always keep humor and grace and that is a beautiful thing...Keep loving life...K
