In Boston picking up new shoes from the special orthopedic guy.  They’re ugly but they keep my feet in good health!

This applies in so many circumstances.  You’ve certainly shown me many ways it applies! 

New guy – Wry Smile

Hi Sassy
Let me buy you a Toscanini’s sundae or cappuccino so we can talk. I really enjoy your profile, your tagline and the fact that you live nearby. I have to admit that I’m a bit put off by your dimensions, but you seem like fun. So let’s meet.

About me: I’m friendly, open, warm, honest, well-educated and occasionally quirky. I’ve been called a great conversationalist. I love to make people laugh. I’m occasionally called handsome, but I doubt I’ve ever been called sexy. I’m told I have kind eyes, but I have no idea what that means. My wife described me this way: “You’re interested in everyone and you respect everyone.”

To echo what you want in your profile: I’m smart (at least that’s what my degrees say), I believe I have a good sense of humor, and I’m often upbeat. I like a wide variety of restaurants. I love to make people laugh and smile – especially women.

The relationship I’m looking for will be based on good conversation and sex. I think my profile describe me quite well. Take a look and see if you feel like a trip to Toscanini’s with me.

PS1: You can use wrysmile688@gmail.com to contact me.

PS2: Got a photo?

=====

Hmmm… he jumps straight to wanting to meet. And gives me an email right away. That usually does not bode well. But an offer of ice cream is different… how creative! and one of the best places across the river! I usually get invited “for coffee” or “for drinks” neither of which appeal. Ice cream? YUM!

But the line about my “dimensions?” Ugh. Normal I guess, and honest but… yuck. It reminds me of the line about what people fear when meeting a person online. Men worry the woman will be fat. Women worry the man will kill them. *sigh

Otherwise, he sounds possible. I’d better go look at his profile to see if it makes him look better or worse.

Let’s see….

Good tagline around humor!  That’s a great start! 

Photo is not great…his face cropped from some random group photo with the added goofy Ashley Madison eye mask. Not smiling. He has hair on his head! Nice beard.

A little older than I am. Good.

Lives nearby… okay.

A little taller. Okay.

Weight… skinny. Eh.

Wants something long term. Good.

Didn’t answer the smoking question?

Wants someone smart! Yay!

Nice guy. Yes, please.

Wants to charm me, make me smile, make me laugh. Great!

Says no sex with his wife and she’s okay for him to look elsewhere. Wow.  Never seen that before.

Spelled discreet wrong. Twice. Heh. What it is with that word guys?!

He put requirements, which I can easily meet. Then he put a wish list – good way to express that! He mentioned one of my favorite rather obscure movies!

He mentions anal sex. Eh. But then a lot of guys do, sort of a litmus test to see if you’re flexible and non-vanilla, but then they never try to do it.

He would like 420 friendly. Bleh.

An interesting mix… maybe worth responding to and eating an ice cream to see if the positives outweigh the negatives?  Do I really want to jump back into this again?  I need to think it over.

Big Fish resurfaces

September 11, 2017 Monday

I was poking around online on Ashley Madison and noticed that the Big Fish had clicked on my profile.  So I clicked on his profile to see if he had changed it.  He’d tweaked a few things – updated his age and added a few more items about himself.

Soon after that, after 5 months of silence, he messaged me again on Ashley Madison!

Hi Sassy Nice to know that I still catch your eye.
Many apologies for being unreliable about being in touch — nervous I guess.
About a year ago, I think, we met at John Harvard’s. A very very hot interaction! I remember fondly (lustfully), but don’t know if that area is the place to get together again.
A big hug, a smooch, and a nice grope! T

Hiya hot stuff!
Wonderful to read your words again!

I’ve been remembering too, wondering how life is treating you. Hope all is well! 
A long hug with groping and ear nibbling for you!! Mmm

I Believe In You

September 9, 2017 Saturday

I have to admit I had never heard of this marvelous musician who died yesterday. Here’s a beautiful tune

Don Williams – I Believe in You

[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QuIxSW_OMM&w=320&h=266]
I Believe In You 

Written By Sam Hogin & Roger Cook

sung by Don Williams 
 

I don’t believe in superstars
Organic food and foreign cars
I don’t believe the price of gold
The certainty of growing old
That right is right and left is wrong
That north and south can’t get along
That east is east and west is west
And bein’ first is always best.

But I believe in love
I believe in babies
I believe in mom and dad
And I believe in you.

Well, I dont believe that heaven waits
For only those who congregate
I’d like to think of God as love
He’s down below
He’s up above
He’s watchin’ people everywhere
He knows who does and doesn’t care
And I’m an ordinary man
Sometimes I wonder who I am.

But I believe in love
I believe in music
I believe in magic
And I believe in you.

I know with all my certainty
What’s goin’ on with you and me
Is a good thing
It’s true
I believe in you.

I dont believe virginity
Is as common as it used be
In workin’ days and sleepin’ nights
That black is black and white is white
That Superman and Robinhood
Are still alive in Hollywood
That gasoline’s in short supply
The risin’ cost of gettin’ by

But I believe in love
I believe in old folks
I believe in children
I believe in you.

I believe in love
I believe in babies
I believe in mom and dad
And I believe in you.

Truck misses me

Miss you a lot, hope your summer went well xoxox

I didn’t see this until much later in the week, and worried about pinging him back randomly because it might not be a good time for him or someone else would hear or see it.   And I am wondering what the point is… I need someone to touch me and he is never going to be that person. I would miss the sexy videos he sends, but they’ve gotten stranger and stranger… *sigh
