Pandemic Dating

Hey Ragers and Ragettes!

Happy Friday….or is it Tuesday?  Could be Wednesday?  Why am I not wearing pants?  Yes, life in lockdown!!!

Lockdown has been quite an experience.  I have been passing the time by exercising and working and as per my last post, I joined the online dating scene

Now, Dating in 2020 during a pandemic is a little different then when I was dating when I started this blog.

I tried a site that was recommended to me by the girls at work.  It was…….ok. I didn’t have a lot of luck on it.

Then I tried another popular site and then I started meeting some great guys.  I swapped numbers with a few and then I was recommended another site

On this site I started meeting more great guys. 

I look back to when I was dating in 2014 and I was meeting some really weird guys.  I meet Simon and he was the best of a bad bunch!

This time it is very different.  I’m meeting men that have a lot to offer.  They have good jobs, they are good looking and I am just shocked.  You do get the odd weirdo that likes sending dick pics or demands nudes or even get stroppy with you when you don’t give them your number or goes psycho when you don’t response to his message in exactly 6 seconds after reading it.  Then there are the ones that send you videos of them jacking off in the shower (For some reasons those guys are always the ones that have a photo of them and their kids in their profile picture....men are weird!)

I have enjoyed talking to new people.  There are some really lovely guys out there. 

Anyway, I have spoken to a lot of great guys.  And I have narrowed it down the 3 that I think will make the cut:

The Mystery Man:
Enter Mike (Name has been changed).  He’s a handsome 46 year old. (looks younger than his age).  He stands 5 foot 8.  Runs his own business and has a 10 year old son.  We facetimed and it was a lovely conversation.  He facetimed late so I was without makeup and my hair was pulled back in a braid.  After the conversation he said that I looked like an “angel”.  He lives in the next village over from me.  He has the most intense brown eyes I have ever seen. The type that if I was acting up, he’d give me a look and I would probably need to go to the bathroom and sort myself out, if you know what I mean….  Keeps his cards close to his chest and there is something about him…..something that I want to get to know….
Verdict:  Definitely want to meet him.  He is handsome, sweet, funny, those eyes make my panties a bit damp to be honest

The Gentleman:
Enter Kevin (Name has been changed).  6 foot 5 and 43 years old.  (Looks very good for his age)  Works in the oil industry and lives 30 minutes away.
Spoke on the phone and was a total gent.  He comes from a good family and is Welsh which means he has a very sexy accent.  He has a boat in Wales and goes here for weekends to take it out when the weather is nice.  A good cook, seems romantic and looks amazing in a suit.  Respectful but you know he has a naughty side and that is hot.  He is ambitious in his career and I like that.  Very well-traveled and is ex-military (I have a thing about men in uniform…).  Classy, sweet and we share the same morals, which is a big plus in my book.
Tonight after work, we are going to Facetime so I need to look my best.  I have a classy, lovely top that I haven't worn yet and I think that it needs to make an entrance.  Teamed with a red lip, I think the look could work!
Verdict:  High marks for the sexy accent and looking good in a suit.  Marked down on location.  A 30 minute drive is a bit of a pain…..

The Wild Card:
Enter Sam (Name changed to protect the innocent) Aged 41, 5 foot 7.   Lives about 15 minutes from me. 
A wild card because he just cracks me up!!!!  I’ve never met a man that made me laugh so much!!  Looks wise, not my cup of tea (has the nerd thing going for him) but Jesus, I laugh so much when we chat.  We chatted for almost 2 hours on the phone one night and we have chatted a few more times.  He seems to be a really lovely and highly intelligent guy.  He’s a scientist!  For me intelligence is a huge thing.  We also have the same belief systems and morals.  He has 3 kids and is divorced.
On Sunday afternoon he wants to go for a socially distanced walk with me. I think I might take him up on that….
Verdict:  I love a man who is intelligent with a great sense of humor and this guy is another level.  The just right amount of being twisted and dark but also funny.  Has potential, definitely

So those are the guys that I have been speaking to.  They are all different and I like that.  Do I have a favorite?  I don’t know.  I like all of them in different ways.

There have been talks of this easing up in July and when it does, I will definitely be going out with them and seeing how we get on.  And if I don’t like any of them, there are plenty more out there. 

Suzanne said it best.  Don’t take it too seriously.  Have fun.  If they like you great.  If they don’t that is ok too. 


I'm just looking forward to getting out and enjoying myself and taking my mind of the monotony of the situation and glamming up and actually wearing a bra and pants again!!!

Until next time Ragers and Ragettes, keep your head and stands high and your heels even higher

Lots of Love
