I have been following the recent topics of internet dating with real interest over the last few weeks or so....
I am a single mum, posted here last year a little bit under a different name, but found I was spending quite a lof of time here, so deleted my registration... I wasnt dating at the time, and was quite happy that way. In the meantime, I have found that I am now comfortable enough with 'me' again to want to share some stuff with another, so I registered with an online dating agency. Its a really small one compared with some of the ones I have seen discussed here, mainly for 'greeny outdoorsy' people concerned with ethical issues/naturey stuff. Anyway, I made contact with someone there, talked for a few weeks and last weekend we met up for a first 'meeting' - coffee and strolling about. He was exactly like his pic and we got on very well!
Yesterday we went on a second 'date' - a low key dinner date, and even had a little kiss. This is the first date I have had in FOUR years! I was like a teenager again - v. nervous but it was fun-nerves. #
we have arranged to meet again next w/e but.... I have question for people that have dated this way or even met DP/H through internet - Without the 'safety' of shared information, eg friend/colleagues, when does it feel right to ask someone to your home? I am not thinking of doing this in the immediate future, as we are both happy to see each other in safer places (ie more public spaces) but at some point I would like to ask him for supper/to spend some time here with me when the children are at their dad's (which they are regularly - some weekends etc..). I suppose I know when I will 'know', but just looking for experiences really...
Sorry for the waffle, but I do like this chap and it feels exciting/scary at the same time without the added notion that he might be an axe-murderer. Mind you, when I mentioned that to him, he agreed and said that he didnt know that I wanst one either!
Anyone?
