Another day – another Match experience. This guy was very nice – just not my type. We visited for a bit and then went and picked apples at the Orchard. He had never picked apples before. It was a nice activity to do together. Came back to my house and visited some more. I was glad when he left though. He did give me a nice hug. I think he could tell we weren’t going to go any further. He said he had brought some stuff to loan me but never brought it in. If he does contact me again I’ll have to tell him I can be his friend but have no interest in anything further.
At least this time the guy seems to be who he represented himself to be. I don’t mind a strike when the chemistry is missing. I don’t like strikes when integrity is on the line. I also learned it is easier to tell if you are a match if you meet in person. Texting and phone calls only take you so far. Two strikes, two dates, zero potential is the running score at this point.
I’m glad I went to get apples as they are almost all gone off the trees. The apples are really small this year and had lots of bugs in them. The Orchard is not in good shape this year. I hope the present owner can find a buyer for it that can bring it back to a pristine condition.
Last night a guy from Canton liked me and we texted back and forth for a bit. He text me again early this morning and again mid-morning. He has potential although he is a bit younger than I am. That won’t bother me if it doesn’t bother him!
Ordered a dress and a swim suit from Land’s End. The dress is way too big and it is a size 2. I think it must be mis-marked as it fit more like a 10 would fit. Maybe it is just the shape of the dress but I am going to have to send it back. I’ll try the swimsuit on later.
Tomorrow some friends are coming over in the morning so we can celebrate Fall Equinox together. I’ll need to figure out how we want to do that yet tonight. I have my inspiration piece to pull from so it should come together rather quickly for me. I meant to get some flowers for the ceremony when I was in town this morning but I forgot. I’m too tired to go in tonight to get some. We will manage without.
Yesterday one of my teachers did a live cam on Facebook. She reads your energy and gives you feedback on questions you ask her. I trust her insight so I commented that I was thinking about starting a new relationship and ask her if she thought I was ready. Her answer was a very excited and definite YES. She did say to take my time and hold my center and not settle for anything other than exactly what I want. She said he is out there – I jut have to sort through the pile to find him. She also reminded me I don’t need a man in my life – I am strong enough to handle whatever without a man. However, she said a man would bring a deeper enrichment to my life that she could feel I was craving.
So onward and upward in sorting through the pile of men that seems to be on Match. I’ll keep looking. I do need to spend a few minutes everyday getting really clear in my own head exactly what I am looking for so that the universe knows what I want and can help make it happen. Meeting this guy today helped me understand what I didn’t want – sometimes that opens the path for what I do want.
Oh the wonderful world of on-line dating. Still not sure this is the right path for me to find my guy but until something better shows up I guess I will keep using this method. At least I get to go shopping from my own house!
My new garage doors got put on this afternoon. The guys that installed them told me I would really notice a difference. I ask them if they wanted to bet on that. I have to confess things like that don’t hit my radar screen. If they go up and down like they are supposed to that is all I notice.
Only got 6 eggs from the girls today – the slackers. I am ready to cut out their daily greens if they don’t start producing better. Not sure if they are getting ready for their annual molt or are slowing down as the days are getting shorter. They aren’t earning their keep!
Got most of the mowing done last night and need to get out and finish up the last section tonight. It was another easy mow as I could tell where I had mowed. There might be enough daylight left for me to get it done if I get going.
Grateful for the hug I got today from my match guy, grateful the apples are picked and ready for me to turn them into apple butter, and grateful the garage door project is completed.
