I am meeting a widower, for dinner tonight. He lost his wife 10/09, and I lost my husband 9/09. We went to the same junior high, and he has been in the area most of his life. He has 3 kids, with one still at home. He's 2 years younger, but that's not too bad, at our age.
He called me for the first time last night. I was in the process of sending pictures of my daughter's and my dog, to someone else I met on the daing site. I found a picture, but her dog's eyes flashed white in the picture, so I tried to auto correct it, and the eyes came out so funny. I was laughing so hard, when he called, I'm lucky he didn't think I was a loon. I have been trying to download it on here, but it won't take the picture for some reason. The dog, look like it has human eyes.
Anyway, he said, he had dated one person, so far, off the dating site. He wanted to meet me right away, but I wanted to talk on the phone first. You can tell more on the phone about people. I looked him up on my creepy site, and his house, looks better than mine. He's a drafter for a shipyard. So far, so good.
Still nervous about the meeting. He's a meat and potato person, so I said I would meet him in the lobby of the steakhouse.
I said I had one minor problem, and told him, I had braces on my teeth. He laughed. He said it's been a long time since he dated someone with braces. At least he has a sense of humor. It's Ash Wednesday, and I was concerned about a steak house, because he's Catholic, but he said it would be fine. I do hope he takes God, more serious. I'm Baptist, so Ash Wednesday is just the day after Mardi Gras for me.
Wish me luck. I'm still going to move slow and easy.
