Billy Ray entered my world on Saturday, June 14th. He contacted me first through Singlesnet.com.
I will say I was really put off by his first email. It consisted of one line: “I'd like to talk. You interest me. Send me a number and I'll call. Billy Ray.” Now when men ask for your phone number—RED FLAG! I have lost track of how many men have approached me for sexual talk on the phone. This is sad but a true fact.
Billy Ray lives about 18o miles from me, way out in the middle of nowhere. The town only has 3000 people and is over 90 miles from any major town. That info g0t me thinking….Did he really mean what he said? Was he a perv? Should I give me a second chance or just end it? I figured he was just new to Internet dating and naïve, so I emailed back very nicely asking what where his intentions. I usually email back and say something to the effect “Hell No Thanks. Get a life.”
His replied to me: “Hey, Marion. Thanks for your reply. No, I don't want phone sex; just get frustrated trying to met someone on this system. I guess I'm a little nieve about some things and too pragmatic.” Bingo! He was not a perv. We move forward. Billy and I email back and forth, the moved to doing IMs (instant messages). Billy seems to type a zillion words and really fast. Most men are slow typers and not very wordy. It turns out Billy Ray is court reporter for a federal court district. AHHHH…..the reason for all the great grammar and perfect spellings. I thought as a librarian I had that covered and would always be better, NOT any more. It was refreshing to converse with someone that answers in complete sentences.
I felt immediately at ease with Billy Ray. He grew up in a small town and loved the land. He asked if we could talk on the phone…nicely. I agreed. He sounded just a like a “Billy Ray” on the phone---totally slow talking country hick. I loved it. He kept me in stitches all night. We talked about what we were looking for in a relationship. I must admit he sounded very well grounded, BUT………baggage he had. From what I could gather he has been married 2 times and has had many job changes---RED FLAG! On the other hand, I enjoyed talking to Billy. He was very straight forward and was a gentleman the whole time. What to do???
Sam Update: He has been in Dallas all weekend and comes home today. What will the week hold? We will actually get to spend time together?? Sam has his life all scheduled out—no time for a girlfriend I feel. I wish he would decide I am more fun than work…LOL
David from Seattle Update: We talked briefly online this morning while I was in a computer workshop. He was packing to take the week off up at his vacation cabin. David is remodeling a cabin. He is another workaholic…always having to do something. Why do I attract these kind of men??? Oh my…..
