I'm getting ready for my third date with a very nice young man. A friend called me a cougar but I really don't think that fits.
I met "EL" (his initials) at a clinic a few months back and we hit it off from the get go. We sat there for over an hour-and-a-half talking and getting to know each other. Actually, HE asked almost all the questions--and he LISTENED to everything I said. He is very smart and attentive. I can not tell you how refreshing it is to be heard. And understood. Since he's medical he also "gets" my irreverently morbid sense of humor. 😉 The fact that he is 23 years my junior doesn't even give me cause for concern. At least not anymore. Well kinda. Okay, so I am having a few qualms--but nothing bad enough to cancel our date.
Our second date occured about a month later (the drawback of seeing a doctor--you have to work dates around his schedule). Again it was just about perfect. I decided he's my "one." At soon to be 63 (late November😉) I had stopped looking for my "one." The only dates I saw were in the produce isle at HEB. I was fine with winding down my life with just my FurKids, Friends, and extended Family. I enjoy my peace and quite--and not being accountable to/for other people. Singlehood suits me.
The fact that he's married does brother me--but I'm so sure he's MY one--so I'm not going to let that one detail stop me from continuing this relationship.
Don't judge. Just keep reading with an open heart and I think you will end up agreeing with me. He's MY one.
Our "third date" is fast approaching.
Monday morning we will meet before breakfast and spend the day together....just talking and walking. Maybe gab a light lunch, and walk and talk some more. He's really into healthy stuff. Since it's our "third date" I'm also going nightie shopping--we've already discussed me spending the night at his place. Don't worry, I'm going to insist on having my own room.
I just need something nice to wear--in case I "happen" to bump into him in the hallway after dinner that evening...or during the night. Because, you KNOW if I'm not dressed nice that's gonna happen.
When it happens, I want to be wearing something easy, breezy, and playful--while I love my UMHB t-shirts and baggy sleep pants--they just aren't what I want him to be seeing me wearing on our first overnight. I want something new for our first overnight.
I'll save my comfy sleepwear for the next overnight. 😉
I also haven't got a good nickname for him yet. I started out calling him EL, for his initials. Then, because he's a doc I've been calling him DrEL (which has turned into something like "durell"--which sounds more like he's my homeboy). The other day an eppisode of "Gilligan's Island" came on, and I remembered how much I adored the classiness of "Lovey," and even though that was a girl's nickname, I've toyed with calling him "Lovey." I'm kind of afraid that might be a little bit forward. Even for me. What do you think?
Okay, before we go any further, you can take me off your prayer list--or at least change the reason you will be praying for me. I am NOT sleeping over at a married mans home next week.

I been "funnin' ya."
"Lovey" is my orthopedic surgeon.
Our third date WILL be an all day affair--because he will be replacing my right knee. I will arrive at the hospital before breakfast. Midmorning he will fix my knee. And by lunch I'll be up and walking.
I may stay over at his "place" (also known as the hospital at which he has surgical privileges).
So you can re-add me back on your prayer lists--not as a homewrecking

And pray for God's wisdom and a steady hand for Dr. Lovria. 😉
Thank you! I love you all!
