The rumors are true! I, after saying that I would never ever want to date again, have started dating. I was falling into the appeals of spinsterhood - buying numerous cats, drinking Tang, and watching Jeopardy when I started dating. I've gone on three dates thus far with three different individuals.Bachelor #1 - Nice guy. Had a job so already he's a winner in my book! We had supper, went to the laser show at the Falls in Sioux Falls, and had a drink at the end of the night. Very nice guy but wasn't really my type. We still talk as friends every now and then.
Bachelor #2 - Oh where do I start with this one! We had a date scheduled for a Friday night. I brought Alex to his dads house and called Bachelor #2 to say that I'm on my way to meet him in Watertown. He wanted to make me supper so I'm thinking, he'll make supper and then we'll go out. After all, it is our first date...you want to impress on your first date correct? Obviously not bachelor #2. He made a shrimp pasta and rented movies. Not my idea of a first date. While he was cooking, his dog kept looking at me and his eyes said "I'M SO HUNGRY" so, I fed him some cantaloupe from the table. Bachelor #2 FREAKED OUT! "I SPENT MONTHS TRAINING HIM....BLAH BLAH BLAH" Okay crazy. We proceeded to eat and anyone who knows me knows that conversation is something that I love and on a first date - isn't it a goal to have conversation and get to know each other? Obviously not bachelor #2. Halfway through dinner he says...and I quote "do you ever shut-up". Where's the door? I get up, ready to leave and to top of the evening he says...and again I quote "Do I need to walk you to your car because if I do, I need to put my shoes on". Yep...you just stay there. A few nights later I receive an angry text message on my phone because I didn't call back. Okay crazy.
Bachelor #3 - Nice guy. Our first date was actually the Keith Urban concert! Did I leave that information out? We had a great time together and he was very nice, great conversation, and very sincere. We've gone out for lunch a couple of times since and will be going to the Twin's game and a play this weekend.
So one bad date out of three isn't bad...right?

What a first date!! The Keith Urban concert. Already a winner in my book. Good luck Amanda on your venture for the "perfect guy"
That's another thing Tracy - I don't know why I'm dating. The objective in dating is to find the perfect guy right? I can't imagine getting married again or introducing Alex to a guy. It's one thing for a guy to know that you have a son, but I want to keep Alex oblivious as long as I can to my pathetic love life.
I think #2 must be a keeper! lol, #3 seems very nice though. Just take one day at a time!
Good luck with #3!!!!1 I'm happy for you.
#2 crack me up!
Seriously...I'm still laughing!
Shanley - You met #3 this weekend!
Hey Amanda! Finally realized you changed your site address. I know - I'm not very quick am I? I'm just glad your back.
#3 if nothing else sounds like he knows how to have fun - dating or just as a friend. And, if those are his ideas of first dates, then just think of what a honeymoon or anniversary would be like. Oooo la la!!!!
Are you sure you want to let #2 go? I may think twice about that one!!
Good luck on the dating thing. I don't think that I could go back to dating. I really don't miss that.
Have fun with #3 - sounds like a good guy!
