Robin terily Kid on Brisbane's Kiss ninety seven three single ball.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
My little heart is pumping. Yes, thank you for sharing,
thank you for what you're about to share.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
So yes, So I have been Danny, a guy that
we are affectionately calling mister Scorpio.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Well, hello, mister Scorpio.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
Okay, I'm just saying. That's not his actual name and
that's not his actual voice.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
It's because we're the same age except and we're both scorpios,
and he's.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
A year younger than me, so I call him mister Scorpio.
He calls me the coogar, the cougar.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
I love it. So now this has been this has
been going on for like we're talking about months now,
it's more than a few weeks.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Yeah, yeah, definitely we're past the first month stage.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
You did go out to a date at the Red Hot.
Some go to it, read it, and you did reveal
on the drive back that was snoring her because.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
I fell asleep on a flatbridge and it's just so awkward.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Well that's kind of sweet that you're obviously more comfortable enough, yes,
to have a nap on him.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
And if you guys had come to the John Farnham
movie premiere, you would have met him because he was
my date. So there were a couple of other people
trying to take photos of us.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Which was just weird. Thank you everyone. But the update,
we broke up.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Last week, then we got back together.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Okay, so can we ask what was the breakup about? Okay?
Speaker 3 (01:39):
So what I will say, and I totally respect and
always want to honor other people's privacy and this is
my job, not his. But what I will say is
one of the hard things I think when you date
anyone other than the parent of your own child or children, yes,
is that it's just so much easier to walk away
when you get things get a little weird. And with
(01:59):
online dating, I will say to you, it is like
a job interview until it's not.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
So.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
What you're doing is putting your best foot forward and
someone else is doing that, and then you're trying to
work out how much of that you can a mesh
together to create a relationship. It's the weirdest process I
have ever had in my entire life, and I don't
enjoy it at all.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Can you who crossed the line? Who did something wrong?
I think you know what it was.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
I think both of us you know, you come with
a whole lot of baggage anyone. If you've been in
a couple of relationships and you've been hurt, then you
come with that that you carry around with you, and it.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Takes a process to let that go, he called it.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
And then typical me, which you wouldn't like, I mean,
you would not find surprising is that, I then said,
And we were and it was in a phone conversation,
and I just said, I'm not accepting that if I
don't know what I said, because I'm not accepting that
on the phone, Like, if you want to do that,
then let's talk it out. And I we went for
(03:00):
coffee and I walked into that conversation saying, I am
fully expecting that I will walk out of here and
wish you luck with your life and that'll be it.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Okay. Can I just ask what some of the pressure
things was? He did pop down when we were down
the Queen Street more with kiss the cash and then
you got people photographing you. We're trying to a venue,
so that's a lot like it's, oh, I'll be in
this for fun. WHOA what happens there?
Speaker 3 (03:21):
That's right, That's what I mean, Like you then have
to take into account your careers and the pressures. And
it was so interesting because when I was doing this,
when I had three young kids after their dad had
died and I had started to date Sean, it was
a totally different scenario because the number one priority for
me was someone who would accept my children, so that
became the number one thing that everyone.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Else it just wasn't relevant.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Yes, but in this scenario, my kids are older, they
don't require that same level. They certainly don't want to
father figure. They just want their mum to be happy.
So for the first time I'm dating with only my
own criteria in mind. Dad is so uncomfortable. It is
so uncomfortable because you can't hide behind you know, oh
well you don't like my children.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Therefore it's done. And as I said, it is much
easier to walk.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
And there would be so many relationships in online dating
where the going got tough quickly and then everyone just
disappeared and dispersed. Yes, okay, but in this.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Case, I made that porn man. I bought me over
a coffee and three hours later.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
We decided that you know, it wasn't something that we
should run away from.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Okay, And yeah, so it's back on track.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
And he's awesome and I really like him, and yeah,
we'll see what happens.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Speaking just for myself, can I tell you when you
say something awkward, something awkward to you saying like something happened,
I'll tell you about it next. Yeah, what do you mean?
You know what I mean? At the cass know we're
about to hear about have we had sleepovers?
Speaker 3 (04:47):
I will just say, don't ask me.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Sleep have we had sleepovers?
Speaker 3 (04:55):
All I'm going to say is that this weekend we're
going to the Go Coast.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Oh, they'll be sleepovers there.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
We can have well, you can drive back if you
can't drive bad, Look at.
