I’ve been silent about my recent dating shenanigans here, but that hasn’t mean I haven’t been going out at all. Mostly, I’ve been online dating. It’s hard to meet people around here otherwise. Hell, I think it’s hard to meet people anywhere you live, especially if you work from home like me.
I did, however, go out with a friend on Friday and flirted a little. Or rather, was flirted with. One guy was almost 50. No thanks. The other…had a pocket protector. We were like, seriously? He was cute enough, though I think at that point in the night, my judgment was a little drunk.
Anyway, as far as online dating goes…well I’ve been on two dates with a dom who is very nice, very into spanking, and very…not for me. He kind of seems like he’s most interested in me as a blowjob machine. Meh. I need to be romanced a little or, as the the Prince so aptly puts it, “A gentleman always finger blasts you before leaving.”
Exactly. Exactly.
So yeah, there won’t be a third date. But that’s okay…I’ve been talking to another guy who seems much more into getting to know me, not just my throat. It seems promising at least. We have a lot in common, and he’s definitely someone who has his shit together (owns a house, has a good job, good relationship with his family, etc). He asked me out and although we haven’t yet set a time, I did say yes. So that’s promising.
I feel bad about it, but anyone I go out with is in competition with the Prince. See, while I know I can’t date the Prince, the sex was really good and if I date someone new, it means that I can’t have a sex vacation at the Prince’s house in a few months. So it has to be worth it.
But you know, that kind of makes sense. I don’t want to jump into dating someone just for the sake of dating someone, and having the Prince as the reigning “to beat” in my mind helps me make sure that doesn’t happen.

You have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find another Prince :s
It also depends where you look… are you finding these guys in chat rooms? or are you listed somewhere and they’re finding you?
LOVE that! I texted it to the Prince and he thought it was funny too!
As part of the over 50 crowd I feel I need to speak out and say… some of us are quite worthy of dating
Oh, definitely. I’m sorry if it came off that if you’re over 50 you aren’t worth getting a date! It’s just not realistic for *me* because I’m 26. It’s not about the number of years, but about the number of years between us. :-p
