So, I've had two dates this week with people I met online.... Errr that is two play dates with mommies! It was sort of like getting back in the whole dating thing again. You know worrying about how I would get along with the mothers and worrying about keeping up my end of the conversation, which I am terrible at anyhow. I joined this netmums.com thing where other UK moms (mums as they say here) can go online and get info or find out about things in their area. I've been pretty shy about meeting people, but the best advice I've gotten is to just be very proactive about seeking out new friends. So, I posted an "add" if you will on the "meet a mum" message board. I got 4 responses and have set up dates. Just like online dating. Don't worry mom, we meet in public places. I went for a walk yesterday with a mom and our baby boys and had lunch today with another mom and baby boy. I'm not sure if I met any bosom friends, but I felt pretty comfortable with one of the mothers, so I'll have to ask her out on another date next week. Or should I wait 2 weeks so I don't seem desperate? I feel like I'm in the movie Swingers! What's the protocol? Oh well, we'll see how this goes. I'll just try not to leave any long-winded voicemails!
On a different note, sorry about the disappearance of all of my slideshows.... It's a problem with my web photo company and they're working on the problem. Hopefully they'll get it back up and running soon. So here's a cute photo of the buddy in the interim.

He is SO cute!!!
Your post really made me laugh... especially the "or should I wait 2 weeks so I don't seem desperate?", ha ha. You know, when you call, have your keys around and just play with them or something, so that they can also see that you have "other stuff to do" (Fine, maybe the joke doesn't come across, but it is one of my favorite episodes of Friends: Chandler pretending not to be desperate)...
Good luck with your dating :)
