I may have found the lid to my pot

I've been doing the online dating thing since early 2014. I met a man last year and that relationship lasted nearly a year and while the breakup was so NOT fun, I enjoyed the time we spent together. So, I picked myself up and reluctantly went back online to see if lightening would strike a second time.

I think it just might have. Corey and I started talking last month, have had a few dates, and last night, decided to become exclusive and see where this goes.

Amazingly, his business is food based tours of NYC and the outer boroughs so he is a huge foodie as I am and has already introduced me to some of the most delicious food I've ever eaten. Now I've lived in NYC my whole life and I thought I knew the best food out there. He makes me look like an amateur. Thank goodness for my band..I am not worried that I'll lose control, I'm just enjoying the little bits of yummy goodness that I choose to eat and leave it at that. When I have leftovers...especially sweets related, I bring that stuff into the office and of course, my co-workers love me more than ever.

He's also a season ticket holder at CitiField and a huge baseball fan. So am I. He is understanding that I not just love the Mets, but I love the game of baseball itself and when I told him I'd love to see some of the old ballparks like Wrigley and Fenway, he laughed and said he was falling in love with me with every word I said. This is the first time I've cuddled on the couch with a man and watched the ballgame. It was lovely.

I'm so looking forward to spending time with this guy and seeing if we can make a go of it. Oh..and he's also widowed as I am so we have that in common as well. Not that I'm glad he lost his wife of course, but we have a commonality that someone who is divorced just doesn't have with me. I can talk about Alan, and he is comfortable talking about Barbara and we both know it's fine to talk about our spouses. The men who are divorced think they shouldn't discuss my first husband for a number of reasons and he and I both know that it's good to talk about them as we loved our spouses and they helped to make us who we are.

Wish me luck, my BP friends. This man could truly be the one.

It's young and certainly something to explore further. You have some fun things in common. That you're both clear-thinking to know that your marriages are to Celebrate, not to deny, makes it even better. Enjoy this.

I am so happy for you! This guy sounds great and I really hope that you have found your guy. There is nothing better than finding the guy that truly is your other half.

Bless you!

Thank you for sharing this great story. I am very happy for the both of you (even though you are Met fans. )

Sounds like you are off to a great start with him! I'm so happy for you. Enjoy and best wishes for a happy future!

So happy for you! I have been alone 7 years now. At 54, I think my chance of having a new relationship is over. But it really warms my heart to see other people find love!

Great upbeat story! So happy for you. You deserve it!

I especially love the baseball / widow reference⚾️my late husband and I crossed off many parks on our Quest to support baseball And our SF Giants.

What a fun and healthy pastime ...

I'll go see the Giants vs Mets Saturday .... Not the same without my guy, but I'll take one of my boys and smile.

Glad to know there are those special guys out there⚾️⚾️[emoji93]

He asked me tonight if I would be OK with going to the ballgame on Friday night and again on Sunday. I told him that was a silly question...and why weren't we going to the Saturday game as well.

We're also going to go to Brooklyn and watch a Cyclones game as well. Doesn't always have to be the majors. I enjoy minor league as well. Plus we can walk the boardwalk and go to Nathan's in Coney Island.
