Ever since the end of the relationship I thought was going to last the rest of my life, I began cautiously put myself out there on various website and apps trying to regain my socializing and dating skills that I just kind of put into a box after I got engaged.
Now I use the quotation marks in my title because I’m meeting a woman for coffee. Some people don’t consider this a date but in all ways but pressure. But come on! It’s still a date.
I’ve started to be more aggressive about meeting women I’ve been talking to online because I’ve been dicked around by a few. One woman even tried to con me out of money and my Social Security Number.
I’m not sure if this will go anywhere as she is not what I’m looking for and I don’t know her views. We’ve only been talking a week or two and then only thought the dating site we meet on and now through texting. I just know that I can’t get a feel for people’s energy over digital means. I need to met them in person be for I can make any arrangements as to wether we are emotionally, socially, and politically compatible.
I’m almost afraid to ask her about her political views. I can’t date anyone that is racist, homophobic, transphobic. I just can’t put up with that shit. I may be a cis gendered, straight white male but I grew up being bullied and teased and attacked for no good reason other then I was a weirdo.
But I digress.
The woman I’m talking to has told me her favorite move is Gone with the Wind. I know, I know. The warning flag is there. I just need to dig into it to see what her politics are.
Anyway, wish me luck! If nothing else this is all good practice for when I find the right person
