Kinky Catholic Lawyer Etiquette

Kinky Catholic Lawyer Etiquette? I always thought "etiquette" was a luncheon appetizer...or maybe that is croqette? baguette?

AS is apparent, I suck, I mean really really suck in the area of etiqutte. Especially dating. I mean, I can do very well in stuffy, formal settings....but, in reality that's my alter-ego "stuffy Formal Catholic Girl". When it comes to dating etiquette, the kinky counter-part is lost without a map.

So, I need advice from you guys.

I went to a support autism support group at my son's school last night. I met a man there....A parent of one of my son's classmates...a very hot parent...a very single parent....and seemingly interested in kinky Catholic Lawyer.

But, the setting was awkward. We were actually the only two single parents at the event. Flirting was hard. I could tell he was trying to "delay" to try to walk out at same time as me, but some blabber-mouth grabbed me on the way out the door.

But, I felt chemistry between me and hottie dad.

But, alas, the nxt meeting is not until December.

So, being the go-getter I am, I composed a note to him. I was planning on sending it to school with Ethan with a note for teacher to put it in hottie dad's son's bag.

The note is subtle. Says I enjoyed meeting him the other night. That we had alot in common (per conversations) and our kid's are roughly same ages, and I suggested we get together for "play group" sometime. And I gave my number.

My questions to you all are:

1. Is the method of transmittion (ie- using kids' school bags) tacky?
2. Am I being too pushy for woman (ie- should man make first move)
3. Is a "play-date" a dysfunctional way to get to know someone?

Opinions appreciated!

    1. Is the method of transmittion (ie- using kids' school bags) tacky?

    Yes, it is. It would work in a film staring Meg Ryan but if life it might backfire.

    2. Am I being too pushy for woman (ie- should man make first move)

    That is a tougher one - I would let is be for now ... December is not that far away and maybe there will be another event like a Halloween or Thanksgiving thing ... It's too bad it didn't work last night - but if he had a feeling for you - I expect he will reach out and if not, give him some time to reflect on you ... hold back a little ... We men like to chase a little - anything that is too easy ... (You can finish that sentence ...)

    3. Is a "play-date" a dysfunctional way to get to know someone?

    Play date is a good idea - neutral ground, safe ... and you can see how he interacts with his child.

    Hope this helps ...

    i'm not sure bout the note. i have had a tendency to jump into things in the past with disconcerting results, and if u can force yourself to hold out a bit I would do. let him mull you over, and you do the same for him. When you next see him you'll have had some more time to relax a bit more out of the relationship thats just ended, and hopefully put some more emphasis on building a friendship with this new guy (who sounds great for you- someone who understands what u go through with your kid)

    berlinbound is right. december is not that far away.
