Time to get this started again. Relevant statistics - I am 40 years old with a good paying job, living in So Cal. I would say I am slightly above average looking with a well above average personality (I have always out kicked my coverage). I have been divorced for 3 months (broken up for more than 6). I have signed up for Tinder and Bumble with zero effort on the profile/pics.
So far I have 3-4 I am "dating":
Girl 1 - 35 year old, 6' Latina with the bluest eyes I have ever seen (she might even be taller than me - definitely with heals). I randomly met this girl at a bar where she was on a date with another dude. I really was not trying to get her number but she insisted on getting mine. We have gone out three times and I probably like her the most of the bunch. Problem is she live 30-40 minutes away and I only see her on a limited basis. I would give her a 7 on the offdee scale. Some would rate here higher some lower. Already sealed the deal which was really good.
Girl 2 - 39 year old blond hair blue eye school teacher. Very good looking and very in shape. This is a new one that I meet on Tinder and have only seen once. Went for a drink yesterday. Great chemistry all they way around - I will definitely see her again this week. This one has a 19 year old son that is college. I am pretty sure I am okay with this. Over all I would give her a 7.5. A bit too "soft" to go any higher. 10 years ago she probably was a solid 8.
Girl 3 - 38 year old Brazilian fitness model (I swear this is true) - I have known this gal for about 6 months and had no idea she was interested. We were at a dinner last night and asked a ton of questions about the X. I finally asked why she was so interested and she just gave me that look. I instantly let her know that we would be having drinks on Thursday near here place. I will let you know how this goes. Body is an offdee 10, face is a 7, attitude and being Brazilian is a 10. Once again, I think this gal was a 8 or even better 10 years ago but I am going to go with the 7.5 (I feel like many here would rate much higher). The only problem with this one is we have some friends in common and this one may be crazy. I will report back.
Girl 4 - Random girl in SF (I work in SF 2-3 days per week) will not leave me alone. Random girl grabbed me at a bar the other night and proceeded to take me home. Have seen her several times but she keeps bugging me to take her to fancy dinner, etc. I keep playing defense and meet her for drinks at the end of the night. Good practice to get back on the horse is the only redeeming quality - I am not going to lie - this one is a 5.5 at best

.
Bumble: I have three on the hook on bumble (multiple conversation, exchanged numbers, etc) and two more on Tinder I just don't have time to go out with them. Can anyone help me with managing this aspect of online dating. 3 of the 4 listed above definitely need to be vetted. I have limited days to vette. am extremely busy at work so I apologize if comments are slow.
