social evening

I belong to several dating sites but not really paid much attention to any of them for ages. why would I as I have plenty of lovely men in my creche already. But over recent months a number of friends have recomended a site I had not heard of before. One of my RL friends met her boyfriend through the site last year. I joined a few months ago but wasn't impressed. I chatted to a few men they were either weird or just wanted to discuss my bust size. Now I didn't join this particular site for sexual reasons so I was not going to get into sexual talk too early on. I didn't visit the site much for a few months. But in recent weeks as I have had little to occupy my mind I have been more of a presence on the site. This particular site has various social events where singles can meet up. Last night was a pub meet in the neighbouring city. I decided to go along. By yesterday there were 55 people signed up for the evening. I have been chatting to one man (biker) every day for a week or so he was going to be there so I knew there would be at least one friendly person there. Before I set out I noticed that a new person had viewed my profile and I
recognised the picture but not the name, checked out the profile and knew who it was. Chip, who I had met for a drink earlier this summer. He was also going to the same evening.

Eventually I find my way to the pub, I am greeted at the door by the organiser who issues me with a name sticker and introduced me to another woman who has been to a few events now. we went inside while the smokers stayed outside. A few more new people arrived and we all sat together chatting and drinking (I was very good and stuck to fruit juice all evening). we were having a good chat and a laugh. One guy told me that my photos on the site don't do me justice. I had been worrying before I arrived that everyone would look so much better than me but I soon realised this was not the case. I saw chip but we didn't speak only to say 'hello' in passing he was with a very serious looking woman. I met biker who seems very nice. we have exchanged more messages since and just had a chat on IM for the first time. He is organising a motorbike trip 40 miles down the coast on tuesday evening. I am not sure if I want to go or not. I do want to ride pillion again as it has been 20+ years since the last time. But not sure about going so far on a first ride especially as it is an evening and I have work next day. My kids don't want me to go but have voted 2 v 3 that I should go to the adults only evening at the play house which is full of slides and ball pits etc. other events that I can go to are a quiz night and also the group's first speed dating event. so thats the next few weeks taken care of.

Oh and as I got into my car to go home the radio was playing my theme tune........ Lady in red ....so of course I opened the window and turned the volume up as I drove out of the car park.
