And then there were two.

So last night I stayed up way later than usual to go through all these emails I am getting.  It's very overwhelming and time consuming.  I have to arrange my schedule to fit time in just for searching through all my match.com emails, this is just crazy. 

So, last night I got an email back from guy #1 with the two kids, a boy and a girl.  Upon receiving more pics from him I have decided that he is a bonafied hottie.  H is very successful and he works out of one of the offices on the top floor at the Scottsdale Quarter.  I love that place!  And, like me, he has two kids from two different people.  Not something I look for in a guy but I can't judge because that would make me a hypocrite, and not very open-minded.  So... not too bad but there HAS TO BE a reason he is on here and why his past two marriages didn't work out.  I'm not going to buy "they were crazy" either.  We all are.

But then I got "winked" at

So, this morning I totally skipped my morning work out again because of my intense surplus of emails .  It is keeping me up late and this morning I skipped working out to tackle some more messages. I think I have over 200 in my inbox.  Now I am just looking at their profile pic.  At this point I don't have enough time to read what they have to say.  In the morning I have to have kids ready, lunch packed, and out the door by 6am.  It's probably just a dumb pick-up line anyway.. 

While I was straightening my hair, I scrolled through my updates and I saw a "wink" from some dude and winked back.  Winking is probably the cheesiest thing I've done in a long time but whatever, I'm going all in and playing the game. 

Well he emailed me no more than 2 hours later.. (making him Guy #2)

He has a dorky name, but right now he is just Guy #2, and he has tattoos (sleeves actually).  That is NOT my type, but remember.. I am keeping a wide open mind for this experience!  The cool thing is that he owns an antique shop! That's super interesting.  Plus he said his tattoos are of Jesus.  That's kinda cool even though I think it says in the Bible NOT to tattoo yourself.  Again.. open mind over here.  And he fit my request for a daddy, as he has an 11 year old.  He is older, 39 and only 5'11."  Usually the height would cause an immediate rejection, but I am not going to say again that I am clearing my mind of all prejudgments and all pretexts.

His email to me was really, really sweet.  Almost too sweet.  We just exchanged numbers and he has already text me two times in a row.  Hmmm kinda clingy but kinda cute.
