Hell has frozen over, apparently

[Tobin S.]

It looks like I have a girlfriend. :wow:

[Call Me Wesley]

1. And you totally deserve it!

:woohoo: Congrats! Here's to love and light on your together path!

[Tobin S.]

2. Thanks Wesley

It only took me two years to find someone. It seems like this was a lot easier when I was 20.

[Tobin S.]

4. You're welcome. I'm smiling, too.

It kind of looks like this----> :D

[Inchworm]

[Tobin S.]

7. Thank you

[MissHoneychurch]

6. YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:woohoo:

Now tell us everything :evilgrin:

I am happy for you Tobin, you so deserve a nice lady on your side :hug:

[Tobin S.]

9. Thanks Miss H

I met her online at a dating site and we started talking. We talked for a couple of weeks and I didn't think she was all that interested at first because she would take a few days to get back to me, but that soon changed. We met in person and now we are trying to work around our schudules so we can date more often.

She works full time and goes to school part time. She wants to be a social worker and work with kids or military veterans. She's an accomplished flute player and plays in a concert band from time to time. She likes being outdoors and going hiking in the local metro-parks which I enjoy, too. She's into photography and I think our next date is going to involve our cameras and one of the parks. Or maybe bowling if it's raining. :) She's a bit younger than me, but we both want some of the same things in life, and I'm not too old yet. :D

28. EXCELLENT!

[Heidi]

8. I wish I could say I'm surprised.

But I'm not. You're smart, kind and cute. This was bound to happen. :thumbsup:

:hug:

[Tobin S.]

10. Thank you

Apparently, not a lot of women see it that way, though. Either that or I've just been too dense to take a hint which is a possibility. Self-depricating humor could have been a problem too I guess. :)

[Heidi]

11. It's the modesty, Tobin.

I'm about 99.9 percent sure. Modesty isn't a bad thing at all, but I do hope you can get even just a little glimpse of the Tobin qualities in yourself so many of us value and respect. I'm sending you and this lucky young woman every good wish. :hug:

[Tobin S.]

16. Thanks, aA

I don't think you guys would scare her off as long as we can keep D from ranting about politics. Just kidding. I enjoy his rants. Most of the time. :D

[auntAgonist]

23. I always enjoy his rants. He's the most passionate man

I know.

No, as a matter of fact... I DON'T have a girlfriend.

Kinda presumptuous of you to ask that question, don't you think?
