Help!!! Dating anxiety

[judy]

I joined Match.com about 3 weeks ago. All 4 pictures have me holding Max!
My daughter commented on it - I didn't even realize.Well - love me, love my dogs. As I explained to Jessie, these are men who are looking at the pictures.
They see blond, boobs, somewhat nicely shaped. Anything else is of no importance to them.

I've been getting lots of "winks" and some emails. I think I winked at this guy first. We began emailing and I just wrote him back that coffee, brunch, lunch is a good idea.

I haven't heard from my Englishman in a few days. He was beginning to annoy me, so it's all good.

Bill is 52, has 2 teenage girls every other week? weekend? I don't know about that. We'll see. He just seems interesting and intelligent. He got involved in a government program to help waterfowl in his area, he built his own house, is divorced for 5 years, and looks good in his photos. I'm almost 10 years older than him. I'll let you know how that works out.

I'll keep you posted.

I think it sounds wonderful Judy. I wish my sister-in-law would have signed up on some program. She meets the first guy after a breakup and moves in with him. She drives me nuts.

If you think they are going after the hair and boobs...why not take a more conservative picture. Where a nuns habit or something...lol....j/k. Down play how attractive you are and you are ya know....a man would have to be blind not to want to go out with you. But they should go for you because of how smart, funny, witty ...you know....you are. Make sure they like Yorkies.

Also...don't let them pick you up...meet somewhere until you get to know them better. Ya don't need a stalker ya know. This is just so darn exciting...I can't wait to learn more. I'm living vicariously through you!!!

Judy most of my single girls friends have met wonderful guys on match.com.. Funny quick story my SIL sister is single and never married 53 yrs. old. She went on match and low and behold she found her future husband, get this now we knew him he grew up in Bklyn in our neighborhood was divorced, I knew his first wife and family , widowed and now marrying my SIL sister. Small world and good things to come about match.

Yes to what Janet said meet him at a public place no picking up from your home until you get to and like him . Janet I can fill you in on stories... lol Judy good luck when is your first date?

Btw Judy age is a number my girlfriend is 10 yrs older than her guy.

Oh i wish we could go with you, and sit at another table just to be there for you incase you needed some moral support! Know you will be in our thoughts!
Like Gina said, age is a number.

[Marilyn]

I think we all need to be there. Judy, just picture us all at various tables around you when you are on your first date. J/k.

Knowing you met on Match.com should make it a little safer. Don't they check people out a bit?

Drat!!! I wasn't on yesterday and missed all of this!!!! How exciting for you, Judy!!!! A date!!!! I think that the girls have given you good advice on being careful and not giving out too much information. Maybe we should all come to your house and help you pick out your outfit and help you style your hair!!! LOL It's been forever since I dated so I really don't have any advice for you there except to just take your time. There are all sorts of weirdo's out there but there's also some really nice guys too.

Just take a video camera and sit it up in an out of the way corner and just record the whole date for us then we'll be happy!!!! You know that curiosity is going to kill us!!!! I hope that everything goes really well for you! Hugs!!!!

[Janet]

Diana...what a great idea...the video... Oh Judy I can't wait...now when is this date anyway?
