When I started blogging, I used to have a girlfriend. Since I broke up with the most recent ex, it has been the longest period I spent without a "significant other" since my late wife passed away. With the loss of two people I counted on in my life, I found that I was lucky to be able to date as a male - as bad as my cravings were to find someone new, it is much harder for the average female.
Now that the pandemic has eased off for a while in the NYC Suburbs, I've been able to date several women, with three of them being on my short list. Of those three, I have a strong feeling which one I'll end up with - and I'm hoping that this time, I don't make the same mistakes I made in my last relationship.

As I've mentioned here, I've been working at the census since January. Soon, this job will end, and I'll be looking for another job to tide me over to final retirement. I'm not sure if I'll be able to find it working as Marian or as Mario. But I'd like to be able to keep working as Marian, even though I'll have to spend more time and money maintaining my feminine appearance.
Recently, I stumbled into someone who believes me to be female, and suggested that I apply for work at the firm her husband runs. If I were to get hired, he'd have to know that I am transgender, and would also have to keep this a secret from the other staff. (I don't mind people knowing about me. I just want to control how the message is delivered.) Yet, it would be very interesting to find work in private industry as a non-op transgender woman.

If all goes right, my niece will soon have her visa and will be able to fly to Great Britain to start her life with her fiancee. Both she and my brother will need to spend 14 days in quarantine before the wedding. And I expect that this will be one of the happiest days of her life. Too bad that this part of her life will start in a way furthest from her dreams.

The other day, I received a message from one woman on a dating site. (She responded to my ad, with me in feminine presentation.) She said I was a hell of a person based on my profile, and wanted to meet me as a friend. (She had just started dating someone new.) I figure that I will meet her and develop a friendship. If I stay in the friendship zone (as I expect), I'd ask her to just introduce me as Marian to her beau, and not mention my biological gender.
