I am going on my first "date" on match.com this thursday It's so exicitng. She isn't a runner, but does like hill walking and seems pretty nice, so fingers crossed we hit it off. Better still, she suggested we meet at a bar near where I live, so I don't even have to travel far Haven't been on a date for 9 years. I got divorced 2 years ago after a 7 year relationship. This dating is scary stuff, but I guess worse things happen at sea.

... So I suppose a cruise is out of the question then?

Brave stuff, JB. Good luck with the date... Attachment 457

haha. maybe you're right there

Thanks all for the words of encouragement. Whatever happens, it beats staying in on my own. Looks like it will be a nice day too, and there is nothing better than a cold beer on a warm evening

I also get to to go to Gorizia, Italy next week for work so it's really starting to feel like summer

Good luck JB

The last two weddings I've been to started out as an on-line date. You never know...

Good on ya JB, wish I had the guts to try it! I'm just living in hope that one day the perfect man will drop from the sky onto my doorstep
Hope it goes well.

... And if he does, I hope he's wearing a parachute!!
