The weather Thursday, has been awesome in Dallas. It was a short notice but I decided to meet someone new for drinks. LL38 is a 38 year old, 5′10″ tall redhead with blue eyes. She does have a large glowing smile. She has 2 children, the youngest being 2 years old. Normally I won’t date anyone that has children younger than mine. I’m not sure why, but I decided to meet her.

We decided to have drinks on the patio somewhere and Gloria’s seemed to be the place of choice. When I arrived, she was already there. She was on the patio at a table with out any shade. LL38 We decided to sit inside at the bar. This of course allowed me to get a close look at her physically. Yes she’s tall with a nice figure. I must say she’s attractive, but the question is what type of connection will we have. In a previous phone conversation, she told me about some of the issues she’s had with one of her children’s dad. I can tell she’s some what proud of her being vindictive. It makes me very apprehensive. I know that everyone has bad experiences in the past, but that is also a little insight on how she could possibly deal with others in the future. LL38 and I had a couple Vodka-rita’s and Mojitos. We had plenty of eye contact and good conversation. She explained to me both of her children are bi-racial and sometimes that can cause problems when dating white men. I don’t think she has a certain type of man she’s attracted to. She has dated men of different sizes, shapes, and shades. She has a great sense of humor. We had drinks and shared some food. After almost 90 minutes, we decided to leave. I didn’t feel a great connection with her. I just get the feeling that she’s very guarded and at my age I can have a interesting conversation with practically anyone. We said goodbye with a simple hug.
