Well that will make two of you. :-)

Hope you hit it off.

We hit it off as friends. She's about 10 years older than me and in a more hostile area of MI (Belding/Ionia). She says a few of her neighbors are cool, some of them are not so cool. Even though there was no spark romantically, at least I gained someone else to talk to and spend time with.

My advice to everybody in the Midwest is to run away to New York City when you are 17. Don't get me wrong: it may not end well. But it will definitely open your mind to what the possibilities of life are. And if there is even a kernel of talent or ambition or imagination inside you, the godforsaken heat of the city will pop it and you will know what you carry inside you.

Note: this is not a recipe for happiness. Just forced, fast evolution.

The only thing NYC has that I could possibly want at the moment: better and more efficient city planning. The GR suburbs are so poorly planned and sprawled out that it takes 17 turns and a sacrifice to the Goddess to get out of a neighborhood.

I have some very bad news for you...

I uninstalled OK Cupid and Bumble awhile back, but I will probably put myself back on one of them.

Several of the idiots on FetLife who approach me are ones seem to think I'm the box they can check, and I deeply resent being treated as a fetish and nothing else.

[Kepler]

Bad date.

[Kepler]

Interesting.

So I had a brunch date with a lovely woman this morning and we kissed.

[MissThundercat]

And I get to see her tonight and I'm hella nervous.

[Kepler]

Pro Tip: last night we discovered that lens cleaner and lube come in almost identical bottles.

Date number 3 with the lady this morning.

Back before my wife and I met, she had been on a few dates with some guy. According to her, things went fine but not great, so she broke it off with him.

Skip ahead to last year, and my wife spotted him at Target while she and I were there, though I was off hunting for one thing while she was with our daughter and hunting another thing. Apparently, the guy spotted her there, too, but didn’t approach because he was there with some other woman. My wife mentioned it to me at the time, saying that she’d no interest in ever taking to him ever again. That struck me as the guy doing something creepy/sketchy with/to her back in the day, but I didn’t pursue it because we all have histories.

A week or so later, the guy sends her an email to her old email address, one that used her maiden name and she kept for legacy financial accounts. She decided then to update her legacy accounts to her current email and then closed the old email account. Clearly something was off there.

Jump ahead to today, and my wife tells me that Sketchy Dude just sent an email to my wife’s work email account. She started at this job after we married. He had to do some serious internet stalking to find her, and then just as much lack of sense to actually reach out to her, which implicitly tells her how much effort he put into tracking her.

She replied to him, telling him that she found it very creepy and that he’s not to reach out to her again. She then sent me the email just so that a copy of it was kept somewhere else. This is all very strange and it’s really unsettled her. If he reaches out again, I’m not sure if the cops will become involved but perhaps some sort of restraining order will be filed.

I’m so glad that I’m not a woman and having to deal with crap like that back from when I was dating.
