Just Looking, Thanks

The other night, I went to a monthly atheists Meetup. I was under the weather, as I have been for the past few days, and was just looking forward to getting out of the house and seeing a few friends. Surprisingly, I also saw some good-looking men there, which — let me tell you — is a rarity for me to find at one of these events. Usually, when I spot even one looker out in the world, my mind is off and running about the possibilities, but this time, I noticed and that was it.

Maybe it's because I've only been single for about a month and a half. Maybe I'm just not focused on the men around me. Whatever the reason, I don't find myself much interested in men at the moment. In fact, one of the men who showed up at the gathering was someone who had contacted me through Meetup to get together, and I've not thought of him as more than an activity partner throughout our conversations. Being in a relationship just isn't on my radar at the moment.

So I guess this is a good thing. My son is out of town for a couple of weeks, and I am excited to do a lot of working, a lot of TV and movie watching, and hiking and getting back to a regular gym routine (damn vacations!). I'm not at all interested in dating anyone at this point. But that doesn't mean I can't look....
