No More Ms. Nice Guy

Okay, I am taking a little hiatus from online dating due to the run-in with the wanna-be psycho. My plan was a man-break, which sounded lovely. Then, at midnight Friday night, I get a text. No it wasn't the ex, or any ex, it was my friend Dave. Dave worked with me and is a bartender on the side. He texted me to ask if he could give my number to Tom, a guy I met at Dave's bar a year or so ago.

I was rather tipsy at the time and was chatting Tom up. He asked if I had a boyfriend, I was dating the ex and said sort of. Then dared him to kiss me. He did. It was pretty steamy. Then I left and never saw him again. I felt a little guilty about my BF at the time, seems silly now, and we talked about meeting back at the bar sometime soon. I didn't go.

So, I told Dave he could give him my number and Tom texted me Saturday morning. and asked me out for Valentine's weekend!!! Eeek. My first date with my ex-husband was Valentine's Night. That worked out well...

On the upside, Tom lives in another city and I do remember him as intelligent. He had been living in London for work and had just returned to the US when we met. He is coming to my town to run a marathon. His second in about a month. He may be WAY to fit for me. I guess we'll see...
