Time’s a changing…

So you may have noticed I haven’t blogged in a while, about 4 months to be exact.  Well, a funny thing happened on the way to the date….  I went back on Match in August 2010.  I thought I would just throw myself back into the dating pool, since nobody was knocking on my door.  I was also going to start doing web blogs on my dates.  THAT would have been a hoot!  I digress.

I go back on Match and was on for about a week and doing the usual chatting by email and text with a few seemingly nice men. And yes, there were some losers too, including the one who ended his email with love forever.  Who the fuck does that??  Guys, if you want to scare a women, or woman if you want to scare a guy, end your email with love forever before you’ve even spoken to them!  That was an automatic delete from me.

About a week or two after being on Match, I got a really funny email from a guy that (gasp) lives in my state!  Actually, in the Phoenix area!  It was the funniest email I had ever got, he actually read my profile, fit what I wanted in a man, and took some time to write a great email.  I responded back to him, but had a lot of stuff going on that weekend with my kids so kind of put him on the side.  He was pretty persistent, and we decided to go out on a Tuesday.

SO, we meet at a bar/restaurant and as soon as he walks in, I think, WOW!  He’s pretty cute!  I did my best to scare him off that date, being my badass self, and the more I talked with him, the more I liked him.  We went out on Wednesday too, and that is really strange for me to go on 2 dates in a row during the week with the same guy. I had a really great time on that date too, and we decided to spend that Saturday at a resort in town hanging by the pool.  Then Friday came and we went out to lunch and BAM!  That was that.  I was a smitten kitten.  And he was too.  Funny how the second to last blog that I wrote talked about me not having the love at first sight gene.  Maybe I just got the love at 3rd date gene instead!

We’ve been together for 4 months now and I’m thrilled to say, we got ENGAGED on Christmas Eve!  We are getting married next summer and I couldn’t be happier!  I guess it goes to show, that you can find the love of your life even after many, many years of looking.  Even a cynical single gal like myself can still find her happily ever after.

Now that brings me to this blog!  I’m going to morph it into a getting married blog!  I may be still keeping it to tell the single gals tales of woe.  Please send me ideas!  As soon as I get the new one rolling, I’ll share it with you.
