Pre-Mr. October (The Setup)

Ok, so this story is too fun and serendipitous not to share. Last Saturday, a couple friends and I went out for some girl's night fun! While getting our groove on and listening the the bumpin' sounds of the 80's, I happened to catch the eye of 2 guys. They claimed to be brothers, however, I learned today that they aren't brothers but have grown up together and are close enough that they consider each other "like" brothers. Well, the younger one (35 y/o) was more my speed, even though they both are cute. I thought the younger one was into me but soon realized that the older one (39 y/o) was.  Well, us girls, being girls, had to go potty (in a group) and when we returned, I had lost track of said "brothers".

Fast forward to Sunday.... I took a leap of faith and posted an ad in the Missed Connections section of Craig's List thinking there's no way that those boys would think to check there, and I will never talk to them again. Well, low and behold, the younger "brother" saw my ad and responded. Turns out he's engaged but his "brother" is single. He passed my number to his "brother" and we talked on the phone, getting to know the basics of one another, for a little over an hour. He has 3 kids; ages 2 (girl), 6 (boy), and 10 (girl).  Their mom isn't in the picture- I didn't get into detail, that was enough information for me. He (and the kids) live in Glen Dirty, Oh, I mean Glen Burnie with his parents. He moved in with them a year or so ago to be closer to work and be around his kids more. He was living in PA and traveling all over MD for work so he was missing out on his kids.  He said he wants to see me again and suggested we go ice skating this weekend. He's going to look into the weather forecast and pick a suitable time! I'm way excited! I don't want to put the horse before the cart or is it the cart before the horse? Whichever is the one I don't want to do... must be cart before the horse because a horse generally goes before a cart to pull it...(You just got a glimpse into the workings of my brain) ok so, I don't want to put the cart before the horse, but I think this is going to be one of the best dates in a LONG while. Not saying this is a match made in heaven, nor am I thinking it will turn into something more long term/serious, but it's exciting and has a great story beginning! :) Let's see what happens! Stay tuned......
