About 10 days later I had lunch with another OurTime guy - I was nervous again and not expecting to meet Prince Charming - I didn't. He did most of the talking, didn't seem all that interested in anything I had to say and proceeded to tell me how he could eat for $2.76/week by boiling a chicken and making chicken noodle soup to eat everyday. Eating the same thing everyday didn't bother me - I do that
, but I didn't like his fixation on skimping including what seemed like some shady activities.
So I switched to eharmony.com and had some very interesting online conversations over the course of 2 weeks - I really liked this guy - he loved animals which is a huge plus for me and we just seemed to click. Next step: telephone conversations which went well also. He told me he was staying temporarily with his daughter until he got situated (he had just moved from Texas) and we continued to talk regularly - next step - we set up a lunch date. He would call to confirm the time. I never heard from him, so I called his number and it had been disconnected! Maybe the daughter pulled the plug, I don't know!
Another date with a guy who greeted me using a walker - that sealed the deal for me - he seemed OLD!
I should tell you that I only wanted to go out with men who were older than I - I did not have the self-confidence to date younger men.
Next up: a guy who drove 2 hours to have lunch with me. We had an interesting time - agreed to meet for lunch again and in the process of that lunch I discovered that he had flat out lied to me - he was actually 81 NOT 72 and he seemed to think it was funny. Good bye.
