I have a date today, my first in forty-three years. [View all]

I'll explain why I'm posting in this group. It's a bit of a tale. About six months ago my former boss convinced me to sign up for one of the free on-line dating sites. I refuse to pay for this kind of thing and can't really afford the luxury anyway. Well after a few weird messages I wasn't really enthused with the results. Then I got a message from a guy who lives close by who stated that he was a conservative and wondered if it would make a difference. I answered back, that it could, but in the meantime we could have some spirited conversations.

He then told me that his son died and he believed that his son's spirit had been taken on a UFO with ETs. Well, is he crazy? So we did message a couple of times. He seemed very nice other than the conservative and UFO thing. So we progressed to talking on the phone. I don't believe he really is a conservative because he is pretty much on the same page as me on social issues. I think he is probably poorly informed.

But get this and this is where it gets interesting. He told me he loves to go to the beach and do light work because he is a lightworker. He believes his son has become his spirit guide. Well, so much for the ETs and UFOs. Now it's making sense. He is into all kinds of spiritualism and believes in the ascension to fourth dimension. Now I'm interested in meeting this guy. So we are going to meet for coffee this afternoon at one of the local coffee houses to get to know each other better.

I'll report back later about how it goes.
