Good for you for listening to the "tweens" music! I keep fooling myself that because I work with college students, I am "keeping up" on music. But that ain't really true, try as I might.

thank goodness they do like 80's music, these crazy kids.

how is this for 10000000 to 1 odds... out on a date... its a day date... we go to a running store in Toronto... i buy some stuff we are wondering about and i go hey there is this tiny hole in the wall fish n chip place about 20 minutes from here has 4 seats and the best fries in the world... we go there... eat lunch and as were leaving ladybug pulls up in a car with our niece and gets out... they are going to the same place ..... Timing is just amazing. As we are just about to enter a coffee shop. I see the car pull up. And hear my niece laughing. So I look at her and go.

Hi. What are you doing.
Niece : Fish n chips
Me: just left there and now its coffee have a good day.

Go into coffee shop..... Heart pounding smile

Look at date and go. That was niece and ex wife, sorry i am a bit nervous.
Date looks at me and goes. Thats ok. How long were you married.
I reply
10 years.
Date replies. I can understand that.

So we carry on with the date.

smile

Rest of the date I would crack up laughing every once in awhile and then just say something funny.

What are the odds. smile

As I know she picked niece up after work 4 cities over... Timing....

That was too funny.
LOL I just realized that now she knows the answer to her question on wed. Asking if I was busy on Saturday. And I replied. Yes I am busy.

Great story bug. It really sounds like one of those "meant to be" scenarios.

How satisfying! It is like what we dream of...for our ex to run into us on a date! And now when you say "I have plans" to ladybug she will suspect "date" haha!

So will you be seeing this woman again?

Cutter, as I said on the alt, just proves my theory of Gods twisted sense of humour ...

You handled it well mate. Bet it felt goooooood?

I've yet to have my 'date near my W' scenario ... 13 days and counting smile Ohhhhh the fun .... what is the point of being a LBS if you can't have a bit of fun when you finally detach? And if that happens to be at the W's expense then it's a shame, but as Denis Leary says 'sh*t happens, buy a hard hat' smile

Heh... I am still cracking up over it. I just add it to the surreal life I feel like I live. That was a movie moment for sure. I do wonder what she thought seeing that. But hey she has had another person in her life for 8 months now. Now she knows I am out there dating as she has seen it with her 2 eyes.

It was a good date. Even with that little moment. I told my date ( the writer ) that I was a little uncomfortable with that moment. So we talked about it for about 10 minutes. And she was cool with it all. Actually asked a few questions and validated my feelings. Which I am glad that I can express without any shame. I was also very proud to state that I kept my vows intact up to the separation.
It was a good date. Nothing physical. Just good conversation and good food and good company. In two weeks we are going out again. This time it is a day trip to pick up my race kit , drive the race route and then walk around a little town and look at the shops and then its lunch at a brew pub. Sounds like another good date to me.

But. I still crack up on those odds....

Wow, great story.

One we wish we could all have (besides reconciling, I guess)

Your date sounds like a good person, with good activities planned.

How are you meeting these lovely ladies to date? friends of friends?

Good on you!

Hi Aver. I meet these people via friends or by going out and doing stuff. smile Live a good life... See what happens.

I broke down tonight for a few minutes.

I was ticked at myself for feeling guilty on Saturday. WTF? I am now separated and out on a nice day date. And here I am feeling like I am breaking a vow. Meanwhile she has stepped out of the marriage for 8 months. I have not even touched anyone's hand.

Lets hope its a short cycle.
