Chicago Single Life

Hi everyone, I am finally back on track with things and I am finally all caught up at work. My son seems to be doing well and he is going to be attending college in September. All I need to do now is to keep him out of trouble for the summer so I told him he should come and stay with me for a while and he is going to come down next week so that will be good.

I only got a few messages back from all the old girls I was talking to and nothing really seems to be happening with any of those girls which is fine. My focus right now is my job and my son. I haven't spent too much time on the site. I intend to today look through the site over lunch and browse all the new girls that have joined the site in the last sixty days and send out some messages. I think I want to hook up with some redheads and the good thing about the site is that you are able to refine your searches so that if you only want to see girls with red hair and are thin, you can do that. The other kind of girl I want to find is a girl that does yoga and that is something else you can do, you can search by interests and just type the word yoga in there.

I did meet one interesting woman who is 32 and runs her own business consulting firm. So far we have just been exchanging messages back and forth on the online dating site but I am going to ask her if she wants to start chatting on msn really soon. There are 2 new restaurants that just opened up here in Chicago that I want to check out. Other than that things have been pretty quiet on the dating front. It is already Friday night basically so I don't think I will be doing much tonight. I will either go and hang out with some of my guy friends or I will go to a movie. I really want to see this new movie called Hot Tub Time Machine. I could use a good comedic relief right now after all the hours I have spent in the last 2 weeks working and talking with my son and getting him ready for going to school in the fall. I had to pull some strings and agree to make a sizable donation to the school in order for my son to get accepted but that is fine. It is only money and I have a lot of it.

I promise to update this blog again very soon once I have something interesting to share about my personal life and hopefully there will be some hot dates to tell you about.

Where should I begin... first let me apologize for the lack of posts over the last 30 days. Like I said I have never been married, however, I do have a son that is 18 years old. Back when I was 19 and in still in law school I ended up getting this girl pregnant and she decided to keep the kid and for us not to be together and I didn't really have much say in the matter. She said she never wanted any more from me and furthermore that she was never going to tell her son who his real father was. She always told him that she was never quite sure who her real father was. Last month I got a call from her telling me that he had overdosed on heroine. I decided to fly out to Los Angeles where they live and visit him in the hospital. She told me that not allowing me in his life all this time was a big mistake and that without a male presence in his life he turned into a degenerate type of person doing crime and drugs and depressed and now almost killed himself.

So I have spent the last month or so there in LA getting to know my son as he recovered from the hospital. He was extremely surprised to meet me and the whole thing was pretty fucked up and emotional but hopefully this will give him new hope for life. Not only does he have a father figure in his life now, but he has a successful father he can look up to. I really think he is going to be able to turn his life around and I am 100% committed to helping him in any way I can including financially. He said he would like to go to college or university so I have been talking with some faculty people I know in LA about getting him to finish his high school so he can then get accepted into a school. I don't care what it takes, I am going to help him become a better person so that we can have a relationship and he can prosper.

As far as dating online goes, I pretty much put that on hold. I do have a whack of messages that have piled up inside the online dating site I am a member of but I doubt any of those women are still looking for anyone. I have noticed that once time passes people lose interest. So tonight I am going to send out a message to all the women that have been messaging me and tell them the story of my son and what has happened and see if any of them can relate to my story and see if any of them are still interested in going out with me. I have a lot of catchup work to do. I have been having interns and junior lawyers handle all my business since I have been gone and tomorrow I am going back to work for the first time and I am going to find out how much work I need to do and what fires need to be put out. I will update this blog again soon with more info on my dating life, I know this other stuff may not be of interest to you but I feel better having someone to talk to - even if it is just text on a screen.
