****, I'm 42 and don't feel it! separated with me the Primary Carer of five really great kids! Really out of practise dating wise.
Some salient points:
I live in rural UK!
I'm moving to even-ruraller (yuk!) UK
I'm old, but don't look old, I know that. I suppose I'm not bad looking, but I know I have low self-esteem. Dunno why because i'm ******dly confident, and everybody likes me!
Been married for yonks, but my dating career was largely crap, because everyone likes me but no-one ever seemed to want to take things further. Been reading here and 'Friend Zone' rings multiple Bells!
anyway, I went to the very small village were I'm going to live to 'induct' my youngest into Playgroup and was immediatley knocked bandy by the Playgroup leader.
bit younger than me, late thirties, very slim indeed, dark haired (I like voluptous blondes!) but I really felt the old thrill of the chase urges!! First times for AGES!!
I have read here for a bit so I know certain signs and buzzword and stuff, but I noticed these things when I was there for three hours and yes, I'm gonna do a 'does she like me' and a 'what shall I do next' post!
First, she was really nice and friendly - could be nature of job.
We chatted for a bit about nothing.
she asked for my name - for job?
After a while she asked my if I was a single dad - poss nature of job, but maybe a bit of research on her part!!! Hur-hur!!
There was another playgroup woman there but here was no real intercourse ( i mean social!!) between us, she might well not have been there.
She told me she was single mom in a convulated way - ie 'I don't no how you cope bringing up five on your own, I struggle with two'.
No ring on finger!
Read about wrists, saw a lot of her wrists.
Tells me I'm gonna be living just round the corner from her.
All the time she was apologising for things and sideways glancing at me and looking away - sounds good but nerves and I was the only male over 8 yo there???
At the end of the playgroup session, she suddnely says 'here's my home number, in case you need it' - Jesus, reading back sounds good! But again, maybe just a friendly gesture?
I got number on a post-it with her full name - aother good sign, Master!!
On parting, she tells me she'll see me in some_park_or_other (forget name) cos that's we we all go - good or chit-chat?
Anyway, next day, I ring her at home to say thanks, it it felt not right, bit stilted, friendly but just nice, seemed like not the person i met previous day.
Anyway, time will tell. I'm not a teenager, it's not gonna break my heart, so just for me, not for this possible relationship, how do I sound?
Sensible? or still a teenage does she/doesn't she drip! No offence, teenage drips.
