Plenty of Fish

30 is turning out to be an awesome year! Yes, I turned 30 on Friday. It was pretty cool. I had a party at a bar in Santa Monica. A ton of friends showed up, so I was stoked! One of my girlfriends who was my Big Sis in my sorority in college was there with her husband. She told me how she was trying to figure out who people were from this blog. At that time, It Couple and the Adorables were there. The Newlyweds, PIC and the Comic all came a little later. I think that’s everyone. Well, my sister and her dude were there. And a bunch of other friends. It was a big turnout. So much fun! I had to be up at 6am the next morning for a USC game. That was not as fun.

But, the best thing about my birthday was an email I received from a new beau. A friend convinced me to sign up on Plenty of Fish, because I was becoming disenchanted with Eharmony. It just wasn’t sending me good guys. I’m beginning to wonder what I wrote based on the guys it was sending me. But, I thought I’d give Plenty of Fish a try since it was free. The Comic told me not to try it out, since it was only people looking to hookup. But, my friend at the gym met his girl on the site. I thought I’d at least give it a shot. So, I created a profile. I attracted a lot of attention. A lot of it was unwanted. But, there were some cool guys. I began talking to a few of them. One of the guys really stuck out though. He was real cute and sweet. He sent me a really sweet email on my birthday. We emailed a lot back and forth. Then he asked for my number, and we spent the weekend texting back and forth. On Sunday he called me and we chatted for 3.5 hours. Then, he called me a couple hours later, and we chatted for 2 more hours. He’s really cool! And really easy to talk to. He wanted to hang out on Monday, but I had plans. Then he was busy Tuesday and Wednesday night. He has 2 small kids, and he has them on those nights. So, we’re hanging out Thursday night. I’m so excited! I can’t wait to meet him! I think at this point, if we don’t get along, it’ll be for superficial reasons. We get along via email, text and phone. Well, here’s the cutest part. Two nights ago, he deleted his online profile. He told me that he didn’t want me to think he was talking to other girls, and that he’s not looking for anyone else. He really likes me. Isn’t that sweet?? I haven’t canceled mine just yet. But, I also haven’t been back on. I think that’s ok. I’m leaving it up for security, cause we really don’t know how it’s going to go tomorrow in real life. But, I’m not going on, because I do like him a lot. His sons are real cute. They’re 2 and 4. I love kids. And, this is perfect, because I’ve never wanted to have my own kids. And he has already spread his seed, so we’re good. We talked about meeting them and stuff. He said there was no pressure and if I didn’t want to meet them for 6 months, I wouldn’t have to. I told him that I would meet them when and how he wanted me to. He said at a park or Toys R Us would be best. I reminded him that I’m a big kid and love both of those places no matter what. So, if it works out, I could be a mom soon. And then when my bestest friend, Mrs. Brit, comes home with her adorable little guy, we could set up a playdate. How weird would that be?? Maybe I’m getting a little ahead of myself. I’m just really excited! Now I need to figure out what to wear.
