UPDATE 12-10-2004
Went to a hockey game tonight with her, we hit it off again, lots of laughs and conversation. Got the good night kiss when I dropped her off (and a good one I might add) so it goes well. She's really nice and I like her, now that doesnt mean i am dating her or want o be with her for life, just that she's fun and nice to go out with.
UPDATE 11-30-2004
Got some advice from a girl at work who said I shouldnt go more than three days without calling her if I want to see her again.
I agreed, so i called her last night to see if she wants to go out next weekend.
I am all tied up this weekend, so not an option to do anything this week.
Anywho! She called me back after she got home and said she was definitely up for something next weekend, and that we should figure out what to do or where to go....
So looks like I have another date with her. Guess I still remember how to do this stuff.

Ok we went out tonight, to a steak house right here in town, and it was pretty fun we talked a lot, I think i might have done more of the talking than her, but not overkill by any means.
They come to offer us dinner and she says no and so do I, she tells me that she made an apple/raspberry pie at home so I can try a piece of that if I want..to which I say yes.
We go back to her place and (nothing happened so dont think there is something coming) we end up having a couple beers, she asks if I want to stay and maybe watch a movie or converse some more, and I of course say yes...
Well i just got home about 15-20 minutes ago, on my way out the door, I shot for another date...I just said "I had a great time, and I would really like to see you again if you want.." to which she said ...tada! Yes!
She told me to call anytime, and even went as far as to say she had to babysit tomorrow but I should call her anytime.
So far so good! The funny thing is I was nervous as hell, i think i might still have a little butterfly action in the stomach because I am new to this whole dating thing after 10+ years.
I coudlnt for the life of me remember what she looked like the first time we met, is that even normal? But she is cute and I like her, she made me laugh a bunch of times which hasnt happened in a good long time.
Once I get another date we will see where this all goes.
UPDATE 11-27-2004
About August of this year, i got asked by a girl at an office I support to talk to her sister-in-law about my career, my experience with school, etc. The woman is finishing her degree in Computer Science and since I am embedded in the field (for lack of a better term) the thought was I could lend some insight.
I didnt thik much of it, it never happened and I forgot all about it. Well about a week ago i email the office and she makes ajoke back to me about my single life, so i respond "What single life?" She tells me that she feels bad/sad because she thinks I am a great guy and attracitve..blah..blah..blah....and that she will keep an eye out for me, etc. etc.
She then mentions her sister-in-law who wanted to talk to me about school and says she can set up the meeting, that she is single and pretty...you get the idea...
So I agree and I meet her at her house a few days back, just expecting to give some quick 30 minute advice and bail, nothing more. I get there and she is dressed very nice, (of course I am in jeans and a gap shirt) and looking really pretty. I sit down, we tlak, and then about 9:00Pm I figure I will get the boot and head home, but we keep talking but not about IT stuff, but about The RedSox, work, friends, social type of stuff...
I finally leave at about 11:00pm and we say goodbye, and a smile. The next day i get an email from the office girl asking how it went..i respond with a good and yes she was pretty like you said..and we had a good time talking, etc.
She suggests I ask her to talk again, but as some of you know i got divorced and I am not feeling to high on the self-esteem ladder right now...i decline...of course.
Then i thought about it and aid what the hell, I am single, nothing to lose, i am a nice guy, she was pretty and funny, whats the big deal..so I call back to the office, and the girl tells me she wants to give me her email address in case I change my mind, so i get it and email the sister-in-law and stumble over my words and get to asking he rout.
i got an email back, saying she had a good time our first meeting, and that she was happy about me emailig her and that next weekend would be great to get togethor over dinner or something else..and there you have it, I got my first post-divorce, feeling a bit low-esteem, put me back in the game...DATE!
The cool part is she is 35, the same age as me, she owns her own house, has a daughter, very stable as far as I can tell.
And that is all....
CLIFF NOTES
1. Got divorced after 14 months of stress.
2. Got all down on myself thinkg I would never get a date
3. Met a nurse, she was kind enough to never call me back..
4. Self Esteem at an all time low.
5. Girl from an office i do work at has a sister in law who is single, she sets up a meeting for the two of us.
6. We meet, we talk, i think we hit it off...
7. i decide to ask her out and voila she says yes.
