Being new to dating (again) I have a quandary this weekend

Met a very interesting/intellegent, very attractive woman last weekend at RenFest - she's 35 (usually the women I have dated are 10 or more years younger than me) half-Greek, half-German (has been in the US for 5 years), very sexy accent

We met and hung out at the fair all day last Saturday and then went out to dinner Saturday night (had a very good time) and met again for lunch this Tuesday
As we are both very busy we really haven't spoken to each other except for the two dates

She has a 5 year old daughter and lives about 5 minutes from me (self supporting and from what I can see she has done well)

I've been very upfront and honest about the fact I share a house with my ex-wife and support her and my 2 year old son

I guess something in the back of my mind tells me this woman is too good to be true (she'll even drink scotch on the rocks and smoke cigarillos)

Having sex isn't an issue in this, not really concerned about that at this point.....

I called her last night and left a message asking if she would like to go out for drinks late Saturday night, she returned my message and left a message for me asking if I wanted to get together with her on Saturday afternoon and go to the Fells Point festival and have drinks and lunch (we play cell phone tag)

My problem is I usually go to RenFest on Saturdays (the reason why I suggested late Saturday night was so I could go by myself to RenFest like I do every week) and honestly I flirt with girls and generally have a really good time there

So do I blow off my weekly RenFest fun on Saturday afternoon for another date? (that's what I'm leaning towards now but not sure)

Yes........No brainer...............

Good Luck...............

:yowsa:

don't be a shmuck!

good and intelligent women are WELL worth of breaking some of your habits!

I NEVER been "pussy-whipped" but HEADS always got me!
so take my advice with a grain of salt, I am impartial
;-)))

Dear Vick:

Doing business as usual will get you results as usual.....

:))))

Live a little baby.....you can ALWAYS go back by yourself next Saturday.

P/S Please tell Kate I said a BIG hello!

Sounds like you have a decision to make, Vick... will you have more "fun" at the fest by yourself, re-honing your "mac" on the fest-babes, or hanging out with her, getting to know her better and perhaps developing something... If you just wanna play then play, but if you're interested in this babe (she sounds quite hot - them dark-haired women get me every time)...

I'd say sod the fest and hang with the hottie! :matey:

But what with my track record I know fuck all about women, so don't listen to me... :blink:

Go on the date ... she sounds cool. Hell one Saturday out of your routine won't hurt you!

Ditto what everyone else said. At the VERY worst, you've missed one day out of your life at RenFest flirting. :)

(I'll sublimably give my standard "rebound" warning.... :awinky: )

Ive already given this advice in one thread today...

Fuck Fear....Drink Beer.

If you don't want to go on the date, I could help you out.

:)

You wanna go to RenFest with Vick? That's really sweet! :inlove:

Vick,

Forget Renfest for the love of R-n!!! :)

The bird in the hand is better than a saturday afternoon looking for bush!!!

;-)))

That's how I ended up married to Peaches and not remembering it. :)

Vick, I don't think changing your plans one day in your life is going to kill ya. Sounds like you like the woman so take her.

the woman...oh and almost all german women I know can drink

A bird in the hand, beats two in the bush .... or something like that.

If this chick is that good.... you need to move on it.

I would imagine it would be tough to date living with your ex. I moved back to Dallas after college and remember trying to date living with my dad. Needless to say, my wrists got sore!

Howdy Vick, I'll cast one more vote for go out on the date and hit the Ren Fest next week. Yes, the Ren Fest is always a good time, but it sounds like this gal is worth blowing it off for one week.

Keep up posted. :okthumb:

Go with her ... one Saturday ain't gonna kill ya.

Come on Buff still lives with his parents, and look how well he does!!

Hi Vick, I am with everyone on this. If you really like her, skip the Renfest and get to know her more. Might even make her feel special and show her that you really are interested in knowing her more if she realizes you gave up your normal plans to see her. Ahhh, love is in the air! :inlove:

Thanks for all the good advice - after reading it I figured I'd better call quick before she had other plans for tomorrow - call made, message left now waiting for response

sarettah - I'm giving bits and tits a little test for you, you'll see a few hundred visitors over the next 24 hours

Serge - I knew what your answer would be but still wanted to hear it from you :D

LL - thanks, message sent and Kate sends her regards

Edd - always good to hear from you

Peaches - thanks for the warning - I'm not even ready to think about a relationship yet

Gonzo - Benoit has no mic skills, I think he could use you and the fur :yowsa:

voodooman - if I get into a joust will you be my second?

Nick - Colin's right - every (sober) post is a pearl :wnw: funny how that works

Ulfie - with that advice I'll stick to scotch :hic:

MikeAI - I don't think I'm ready to move on anything but fun yet.
Trying to give Emma Grant a little push today, she looks good and so does the site

Brad - it is really tough but it's the best thing for my son right now. What is even tougher is realizing there will come a day he doesn't live with me full time. It's sort of weird but with a lot of respect for each other and putting Sebastian first it's working for now

VooMan - thanks, will do

PD - I'm no upstanding citizen but I'm standing up anyway (at least for now)


Basically I was thinking RenFest tomorrow because as vain as it is to say RenFest is somewhere I do well (so to speak) and at 41 (and starting to look it) you need to take advantage of every opp (and the women at the hair band comeback shows are slim pickings so to speak when looking at the total package)

But on the other hand is this woman more intelligent and hotter than more than 90% of the girls than will be at the fair tomorrow - yeah!

Thanks again

Best to all

Im there for you my friend, but I wont expose myself to you
for the jousting.

:P

Sorry Vick, I must go against the others who are acting as though LOVE RULES! I think you need to play the field. Do your Saturday thing and set up a new date with the 35-year old. She is too old for you, and she has a child. Very bad combination. You are going through your *player* period. SO GO OUT AND PLAY! :bjump:

:blink:

Um..err...okey dokey.....

lololol....It is currently running on my home server with a 128K dsl connection (images are being pulled from M3 though)... So, this could be interesting :)


Damn and I wont have the registration stuff up until the weekend...



:yowsa:

Vick..
I was lobbying for stick rights at the Brad Shaw vs. KB fight in vegas.
But Ill settle for managing Benoit. Its ok though...Mark Henry is going to get speared and jackhammered Monday anyhow.

You act as if 41 is a bad thing and 18-21 is an unattainable goal.
Just remember that old age and treachery will serve you well. It has me and youve seen the pic of me in fur. Yet that 18-21 year old trim is like shooting fish in a barrel.

As an aside....dont trust anyone that lies about posting from Kinkos either.

With every post you exemplify the reason why people should know who they're talking about before they run their mouth.

This isn't Meni we're talking about - it's Vick.

Vick you can always hit the 'Fest on Sunday, take Sebastian along p'raps? The next time you go, have an oyster shooter for me :okthumb:

Come on Carrie...you know that surfing time is limited at Kinkos!

Damn.......I forgot to add.............


THANX.....................


:bdance: :bjump: :cdance: :bjump: :bdance:

Carrie, here you come again!

I know who Meni is and I know who Vick is. Do you? Fuck, you scored as a man on the Gender Quiz, so what the hell can you say to Vick that he hasn't already heard from the males on Oprano.

Vick, you like younger women. Go back to your Saturday plans and check out the chicks. It is too soon for you to be getting serious about one woman. Love is fickle! Only people like Carrie who enjoy supporting a unemployed husband and two small kids would suggest that love is important. SEX IS IMPORTANT. FREEDOM IS IMPORTANT.

Go for it, Vick, like SCHWARZENEGGER! :gbounce:

:blink:

That is actually sad.............. :cryin:

and explains quite a lot............

You are sooo right... I'm still 4 months 2 weeks and 5 days-ish from being a dad for the first time but even I know whats important in my life... when I was 18 it was sex... it aint that way now though...

Confucy, do not get me wrong.... I think Vick should definately sow some of his wild oats. I was not sure what exactly RenFest was....

Vick - Emma has been doing well.... but sweetlittleblonde.com is the babe who is on FIRE!!!

Thanks again to all

KittyFuzz - I'm just recently divorced and not ready for :inlove: yet and I have to admit I wouldn't let her know I was giving up my normal routine. I'm still at the wait until at least 2 days after a date to call stage

voodooman - you'll look great in tights :ph34r: I knew I could count on you

Ahh Confucy - thanks for being the opposing opinion. Sorry to say my "player" days are past but I'm not quite ready to sit on the sidelines yet. Age is an consideration but so far she seems to be quite an exceptional woman, I'm still wondering what's wrong with the picture (I mean why is a woman of this caliber not attached sort of thing - that's not quite the best way to express it but you get what I mean)

sarettah - your welcome. Sorry, I should have said something first. It won't be a ton of traffic, like I said just a few hundred visitors over the next 24-36 hours. I liked the concept and always am looking for something new. I'll give it another little push again in a month or so

Gonzo - I've missed the past month's action so I'm out of the loop
If you read the first post I said most of the women I've dated are at least 10 years younger than me, my ex wife is 16 years younger than me :awinky:

Carrie - You know as well as I do that you can't have just one Oyster Shooter, one gets lonely in your belly and it calls out for friends. (where's that damn food icon) so I'll have to have 6 - you can tell we live by the Chesapeake
Actually Sundays are devoted to my other business interests so I'm pretty much a Saturday guy.
I've taken Sebastian once this year. When I go by myself I get a little intoxicated and I can't do that when I take Sebastian

The sites not the greatest thing but you can get the idea

Basically it is a recreation of an 16th century English village, but that description is a grave understatement

It's great shows, entertainment, merriment, fun, good food and drink and one of the best times and most fun you can have

Plus lots of intoxicated women in bodices :P

I have to try but sweetlittleblonde.com

Make em green, and you have a deal.

:D

Me and my girl went to the RenFaire when it was out here during the summer. Had a blast. What I thought was funny, alot of fools took their play acting a bit too serious and would try to step up to me. I guess I am growing up and just walked away. Alcohol on their part and me with a pretty girlfriend makes them brave.

Damn... I just got to say it again, you've got one fine looking girl there... standing next to that other girl though she looks kinda short :P

You are up to 2 ass kickings now.

:D

If I made just one person smile then it'll be worth it :D

anyway when are we going to hear wedding bells... you know that one thing that'll drag my ass state side quick sharp :D

Question: Why are most of you men into love and marriage? Look at the statistics. Marriage does not last. Women know the facts. Men stray. Doesn't matter whether they are married to the most beautiful and wonderful woman in the world....they eventually jump the bones of other women. You all want to be ARNOLD!

Vick, don't forget how happy you were a couple of years ago. What happened? Love is fleeting. Grab it when you can, but don't live in a fantasy world and expect it to last forever. Vick, you have the opportunity to spread your wings and soar. The reason this attractive new woman in your life is single is because she is smart! Also, taking on the responsibility of a young child scares men away. If she comes on too strong, that is a sign that she may not take being a mother all that seriously. Her child should come first.
