And there are words popping up in our language all the time that weren't there last week, so I say, let's add conversate.<br /><br />Let's also add that you acted from right thinking, so there was nothing wrong in making the call. And you conversated for a long time. If you find things to share for 30 minutes over a phone, my bet is he's calling for more of that conversating stuff. There, now it's officially a word because I just made it present, past and continuous tense in one comment.<br />cleemckenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15456109243453726483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-77853494823695428962015-01-12T18:17:31.471-05:002015-01-12T18:17:31.471-05:00Dianne ~ Well, you met the person you were suppose...Dianne ~ Well, you met the person you were supposed to meet. That's what I tell myself, too. If this doesn't work out, it's because it was never meant to... and that's okay.<br /><br />ABFTS ~ Yep, I couldn't agree more. If he calls, fine. If not, also fine. The only thing that makes him calling me not feel like Plan B is the reason he was there in the first place was to seek me out. The fact that I wasn't there and he found her... well, that's life.<br /><br />Arlee ~ You are so right about that. You'll never know if you don't ask. Sometimes you don't know even when you do ask. I went through that one a while back. I met this guy, and he seemed nice. So, I asked him if he was married. He said, "No, I just haven't met the right girl yet." A very short time later, I figured out via Facebook that he was living with someone (not married, true enough) and they had four kids. The youngest was a baby. He was lucky he stopped calling me before I garnered all that information because I would have blasted him a new one.<br /><br />Robyn ~ Yeah, I really like it, too. I think that a big part of what Pat was writing about was how when you're on the road touring with the band you tend to live in your own private nation. You're "all alone thinkin' life's a phone call." The thing is a whole bunch of folks can live in their own private nation and not be on tour. I know. I've done it. In fact, I sometimes think I've lived there most of my life...<br /><br />Jay ~ Yes, For Me, It's You was the least listened to/appreciated album they've ever recorded. And people meet people in bars all of the time. Rarely do they meet anyone of Quality... or so has been MY experience. Some bars are exceptions to the rule... like karaoke bars where people go to sing and not drink. But most bars... not a good place to meet someone:(Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932408372240147454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-25406901510553347392015-01-12T15:02:54.514-05:002015-01-12T15:02:54.514-05:00I remember this album coming out, and it fizzled o...I remember this album coming out, and it fizzled out pretty quickly. I think it's the least known Train album out of everything they've released.<br /><br />I'm amazed that people actually still meet other people in bars.

You took fate into your hands and called him. It's an added bonus that he does like you, and did/does/may in the future want to date you. He's keeping his options open and sounds like an honest one. You never know. But you can be sure that, had you not contacted him, he'd likely not express interest. You paved the way for new possibilities, whether or not they come to pass. That's something to feel great about.Rawknrobyn.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15997241410192066577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-13173194930376537642015-01-12T12:00:37.306-05:002015-01-12T12:00:37.306-05:00Well, you just never know unless you go down the r...Well, you just never know unless you go down the rabbit hole and then sometimes you wish you hadn't done that while other times you're glad you did.<br /><br />Your story reminded me of last summer when I hired an tree service to trim the trees in my mother's yard. My widowed sister was kind of joking about whether one of the "cuter" guys was married or not since I think she is kind of ready for companionship now. I chatted with him a bit and in our conversation found that he seemed to be quite happily married for many years with a nice family. But you never know unless you pry for info, right? <br /><br />I'm glad I'm not in the dating stage anymore. A lot of uncertainty and hassle. Good luck to you though. It can be a weird world out there.<br /><br />Lee<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a>Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-48637498518164662362015-01-12T11:09:25.805-05:002015-01-12T11:09:25.805-05:00Ahhh, dating.

Very similar. By the time I finally got the nerve to call him, he had started dating someone else. I wasn't as brave as you, just asking him out for coffee. I pretended to be asking about a hawk sanctuary he told me about when we met the first time. He saw right through it though, and told me he would have been interested in going out with me if he hadn't met someone in the meantime. I felt crushed too.Dianne K.

We don't actually "date" any more. I could tell you WHY I think this is, but I don't want my comment to be longer than yours. So, it's craziness, but someone asks someone out (not really having any idea about whether it will be "good" or not). They go out, and if it's "okay enough" they continue to go out. Dating implies multiple dates, as in dating several people at once. There was a time when this put into practice. People dated until there was enough mutual like to "go steady." And then they told all the other folks they were dating that they were now "off the table" because they were committed to one person. In these insane times, in which we live, as soon as you say "yes" to that first date you are going steady with that person until you decide you don't want to go out again (or he doesn't ask again) OR until you have a formal break-up. Or you get married. But no one dates any longer, and that is craziness. That said, I didn't have a problem with him asking if he could call if it didn't work out with her. They've been dating a short time and anything could happen. Does that mean if I meet someone else (and I won't to go out provided he asks) I won't go??? Heck no. That's also insanity.<br /><br />rosey ~ Funny how we forget these details over time...<br /><br />Marcy ~ Well, I felt beyond nervous, followed by incredibly stupid, then relieved, and finally disappointed. I'm not sure I ever felt brave. Oh well. True. He didn't have to tell me he was dating anyone at all. He could've just kept it to himself. I think he's a good guy who was married a long time and is very much outside his comfort zone "dating" again. Heck, it's uncomfortable for me, too, and I've lived most of my life here. ::sigh::<br /><br />Dixie ~ Isn't it funny how specific music reaches you at specific times?

If he was a shitehead he wouldn't have even told you he was dating someone else and the fact that he asked if he could call you tells me that he still has interest but doesn't want to to just give up on this other girl, wants to give it a chance even if there's a part of him that really wants to give you a chance, too. Not to mention that fact that you can talk to him...I mean, that's big in my book, someone you can comfortably talk to. So. that's my two cents. Maybe things will work out with him and that girl, or maybe not. And then we'll see what happens...oh my, it's almost like the beginning of a love story!

We women analyze things and think up things because that is who we are. Men are simple and they do or do not. I also just don't like that he mentioned to you that if it doesn't work out with that girl then he will call you. I'm sorry but you are terrific and one kick ass great gal regardless of your physical issues you are great! So I just don't like that he says something in a way to keep you on the sideline sort of speak. You are grand and he should be calling you and making every effort to see you. I had no care to meet someone after getting screwed around. I then met my hubby. We talked and I didn't hold anything back-told him from the get go about my joint pain and my emotionality and that I am still friends with my ex. He kept calling me almost every night and did all he could to be with me. We are now together for over 8 yrs. he can be a bum because, well, he's a man (sorry to all the gents out there but gals can say this to one another) but it is wonderful. I was sick and tired of games and crap and made it known from the get go. I hope you are not offended by my bold talk but you deserve the best and he better show it:)<br />Birgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439720285857050428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-10983323658909825832015-01-10T21:31:14.516-05:002015-01-10T21:31:14.516-05:00LC ~ That felt very tongue-in-cheek.
