So the "date", for lack of a better term, actually went fairly well... it was a meet and greet and get to know the real person instead of just email and chat. During the course of the evening it was fairly clear that though we have some things in common, in our lives we are both going separate directions. I told her so this morning and she agreed and we went our separate ways.
Meanwhile I am really bummed because there was a strong match for our likes, I think more than I've met before... I turn 38 next month and am feeeling ollllllllllllllllld..especially considering I want (my own) children, and most of those in my graduating class have TEENAGERS now.
arrgghh.
