His profile is well written - and it's no wonder - he's finishing a book which will be published by the end of this year. He's an amazing kisser, has a good sense of fun, and knows the world I grew up in very well, as he is close to my age and went to college in an urban area north of me during the same era as my college years. We share a history that is similar and our outlook on life is very harmonious. What I've seen in him so far appeals to me very much - his willingness to be open, his love for his children, his political activism and his taste in music. But what I respect about him the most is his willingness to increase his self-awareness combined with an intellectual appreciation and delight for everything that is happening in the moment. I find that extremely attractive and complimentary to my own search for experience and enlightenment in life. I know that he's human and therefore not perfect, and he has baggage (half custody of children younger than mine still living at home), so there are details to consider carefully before making any commitments. But it's hard not to be just a little bit giddy about him. I find myself with a big smile on my face and a flush on my cheeks when I think about him, which I must admit is more often than not. Must keep repeating my mantra... Wait and See, Take Your Time, Wait and See.

Date #23: The Writer
The 23rd Romeo may be my last one for a while. I think I've met a man who is a match for me in many ways. Is he The One? Too soon to tell for sure after three dates, but the prognosis is promising. The process of getting to trust and respect each other takes time, so we have agreed to date exclusively for now until we can determine if there is a chance for a solid relationship. This is a man who not only understands, but actually insists that getting sexual too early in the relationship can be a problem because it hinders the emotional growth that needs to build as people get to know each other. I am impressed and excited by this because it means that he values the idea of being with me not just for immediate sexual gratification, but for possible long-term satisfaction, which is exactly what I'm after too.

Rendezvous with Romeos

Ooo very exciting. I'm happy for you especially after 3 dates that you ywo are gelling so well. I hope you keep us informed.
Mike - it is very exciting, after such a long period of looking, to finally find someone who seems to have what I'm looking for in a man. I plan to keep writing about my experiences, both positive and negative, therefore have not given the Writer this blog address (a lesson learned the hard way from my last bf who turned into a creepy stalker after we broke up).
I tell you what's funny. The older I get the faster women want to hop into bed. Most of the women I've dated have been way more prepared to jump into bed before I even thought it would be happening. Who knew?
sigh.....!
that's wonderful.
you're very lucky. now, don't stop blogging about him! it's just beginning to get interesting.
Mike-
Thank goodness there are a few smart men out there like you and the writer who realize that getting sexual too fast does nothing to help the budding relationship. If it's meant to be, the sex can wait (and a little foreplay before is always a good thing too!).
Mimi,
for my sake as well as yours, let's hope it continues to be an interesting story! Either way, I'll continue to write.
