Real Doc

I met Real Doc in the free internet dating site. I actually messaged him first, and he replied just as Dr. TGIASE and I became exclusive. I told Real Doc that I started seeing someone and couldn't go on dates anymore. Five months later, he was still on the dating site. I messaged him again, and we met up.

He's a very good looking man. Skinny, slightly taller than I am. I call him a Real Doc because he actually has MD behind his name, and is done with his residency. Real Doc is a year younger than I am. I have no problem with a guy who's just a year younger, but Real Doc, being a doctor, quite handsome, may want some 20-something girls.

The date was fine. We talked. He was surprised how much I know about the medical field. I didn't tell him I'd just dated a med student. I knew a lot of that stuff before Dr. TGIASE anyway. Most of the time we were sitting face to face. At the end we were sitting next to each other, and we started facing each other and quite close, then he sort of moved back. Oh well. Who knows if he sensed something in me. At the end of the date he told me I was interesting, and he had a really good time "hanging out", and he'd like to "hang out" again. No kiss, but he gave me a pretty good hug.

The only thing I learned from my 3+ years of dating in San Diego is that nothing means anything. The dating scene is about a million times more difficult to predict than the stock market. Yet there are still dating experts out there predicting it, just as many financial experts out there are. We will just see if we will hear from Real Doc again, and if he'd like to *just* hang out.

What I learned: bird watching, and Texas may have some value after all.
