My First On-Line Date


I am very excited. Tomorrow night at nine, I will meet a complete stranger I hooked up with online at IHOP for coffee and a chance to get to know each other. She (and yes it's a female) called tonight and we talked for twenty minutes. We have a ton of things in common.

We're hoping to hit it off well enough to spend some time together every week; with and without our children.

Several weeks ago, it dawned on me exactly how isolated I had become over the years and I decided to do something about it. First, I looked for free classes or lessons in my area I might be interested in. Didn't find anything. Then I looked for groups that were near by that I could join. Nothing that interested me. (Well, some of the were interesting. Just not for me.)

Then I peaked in the platonic section of our local craigslist. It was a disappointment too. Every ad I looked at was about sex or hooking up. However, reading them became addictive - the shit some people will say. LOL

I finally posted my own ad and I was extremely descriptive in what I wanted.

I'm an overweight,
stay-at-home mom that just needs
to get out of the house.

Would love to find local female in same boat
who'd like to meet up for coffee
a night or two a week.

And I included my age and location. Three days later I got a response. After a few emails, she called. Tomorrow night, coffee at IHOP.

Oh, what should I wear?
