I confuse easily

I am a wise parent. I've learned to follow my instinct and it has served my kids and I very well.

In the world I am a bit naive. Even at the age of 50. I just don't always get 'it'! I especially don't get 'it' when it involves men!

Last week a man I know from a group I'm in called to say he enjoyed talking to me and could we talk some more. So, we met for coffee. Okay, but here's the thing, is this a date? We're both single, maybe he wants to just soak up some of my wisdom, hey, quit laughing! I think it might have been a date. He's called everyday since and asked if we can meet again. Hmmm.

A different man, I met through the wonders of On-line dating and I hit it off well emailing, then moved to a phone conversation and made mention of getting together at Starbucks for coffee sometime soon. He sent me an email today, a 'chatty' one, then sent another that said, "Forgot to tell you the coffee smells delicious". Okay, here's the thing, this is a compliment, right? Not a reference to not wearing perfume when we meet for coffee. I will say in my defense that he is British, so we're not exactly speaking the same language.

Of course the only thing I do think I know for sure is that when it comes to men, we're never speaking the same language.
