I have been meeting some really nice guys lately, but I have not had the energy to actually go on any physical dates. I have canceled a few dates or turned down dates that guys have asked me on. <sigh> Talking on the phone is fine, but leaving my house to go on an actual date is not working out for me at the moment. I even planned to go visit my ex last week (long story:look:), but taking a nap seemed more important at the time. Needless to say, the guys that were interested aren't anymore, including the ex. I don't know if it is fear or what. I really need to get it together. :ohwell::perplexed:ohwell: Mother really wants grandbabies but at the rate I am going that's not going to happen any time soon.

I'm like this! I just had the epiphany that I should stop doing that (but I still do it :look:) because I'm getting older but for the most part when someone asks me if I'm busy on a certain day I think "well...I don't know if you call sitting around in sweatpants browsing the internet while watching Murder She Wrote 'busy,' but..that's what I planned to do :Blush2:" I was casually dating this guy that lived an hour away and I would get so annoyed when he would send me a text talking about "hey. I'm in town." Oh, okay. *turns phone off* :look:

That's why I'm so excited to have a crush. I'd totally get out of bed for him :drunk:

that makes three of us.

Normally I'm in IDGAF mode. For example, I never invite or let anyone go to my apartment. hell, I don't go there most times because I'd much rather stay at my mom's-- I havent slept @ my apt in a couple months. I usually wake up around 10 but I'm so excited about my current SO, not only did I answer his call at 5am, I got immediately out of bed and hit up Starbucks and went over to my apartment to clean (where I am now) so it's perfect for when he comes over :look:

:nono::nono::nono:

I Don't even appreciate that
 
I really hope things work out with your crush. :yep:


Thank you :cry: I'm going to see him later today and I am going to try to remember to smile. That was actually a great tip because sometimes I'll forget. :look: I make mean faces a lot to be silly or because I'm uncomfortable but people don't know I'm joking so later I'll here them say "Her attitude stinks!" And I'm like "what!? But I loved you." :sad: :lol:

That's cute! See, I need some of that "you make me want to clean up my apartment" type of action. :lol:

I just need some motivation. :yep: I hope I meet someone who can light a fire under my arse.:look: Until then I'll continue enjoying netflix and redbox.
 
It's amazing how many bitter dudes there are out here. People seem to always put the focus on women...but there are MEN out here who will stop at nothing to TRY and destroy what you have when they cant have what they want. *smh*
 
He literally called me 15 times. Guess he doesn't like being ignored either :lol:

We worked out our problem. I'm so glad this weekend is over. In the short time we've been together we've had two issues, one was my fault and one his. His was hanging over our heads for like 3 weeks so it caused tension before. Mine caused one week worth of problems. Now we're over that and nothing is looming sooo hoping for smooth sailing.

Nothing like a dozen roses sent to you twice in a weekend (by two different men that are interested) to make you forget about the man that isn't giving you the time of day :yep:

"J" who??? :lol:

Saw Zdubs's cousin today while I was getting lunch. How freaking weird is that?

@barbiesocialite, @InchHighPrivateEye, @Do_Si_Dos, I am with y'all on the crush thing. Now if only I would act interested. My friend girl was like, I bet you were all giggly at the study date weren't you. I was like, actually, no. Whenever I have a crush on someone, I have this defense mechanism that makes me go out of my way to NOT show interest around them. As you can imagine, this is very counterproductive. :nono:

i'm learning not give counsel and advice anymore and just listen. i was so bad at that before. i'm also learning not to judge and be critical. men just want someone to comfort them and be a listening ear.
 
called me at 5-somethin this morning with a mild attitude problem talking bout you need to "check me" about what I asked you yesterday so I don't blow up on you again. :rolleyes: I peeped that nasty-nice phone call. N*gga **** you. I'll stop askin sh*t, when you stop doing sh*t.

Shows how much you know, I wasn't even worried or thinking all that. I really was joking. You need to relax. I've let the past go. However, if you didn't mess up so much on your on accord, you wouldn't constantly feel like you're in debt now...talk about projecting.......LOL @ you saying you're tryna make sure you "keep me loyal"....my running shoes are in storage at the moment....

go ahead and save the world, as much as I get frustrated it's one of the things I love & respect about you the most.....

Even still, I'm glad we handled that and our convo ended on a high note. Seeeee, we're making progress!:cupid:

wow...

crazy coincidence, that OT thread about attractive men reminds me of this morning....

he explains everything bc he is a womanizer in recovery. Before I even hafta ask "where you been?" "who were you with?" "who were you talkin to?" he explains it. I'm glad; he knows I have too much pride to speak on these things aloud so I rephrase them or hold them in til later. Smart man. He's done a lot of effed up things in the past, so yea he has to earn my trust back. Plus I feel some kinda way about women tossin panties at him left n right.....those church chicks ain't no joke......

sometimes I feel like a puppy, p*ssing to claim territory with dude..... just look that conversation the other day when he introduced me to his cousin... it's wuteva.... like I said, n*gga needs to stop doing ****!

ScorpioBeauty09: Do tell. :look:

Zdubs messaged me about biochemistry for tomorrow. I'm trying to get him to attend immunology. I debated going flirty with it, but I don't do well with FB messages, so I kept it serious and told him he should come because he pays for the class and no one said he had to actually pay attention. Heck, I know I don't. It will be interesting to see if he shows up. If not, it will be something to talk about before biochemistry.
 

Just something I've learned in my limited dating experience. I joined a matchmaking service a while ago and nearly every guy I've been out with has wanted to see me again and not hesitated in telling me so like 15-20 minutes into the date and usually after we've discussed the basics.:ohwell: Like occupation, favorite movies/books and hobbies. It's just weird because I'm still trying to figure out if I'm having a good time, let alone wanting another date.:look: My mom was like on a date men only want to know 3 things: Are you halfway decent looking?, Are you crazy?, Are you interesting?
 
Mercy mercy girl. I wish I could get into that thick skull of yours. This is only going to end in disaster, and you're going to have no one to blame but yourself :nono:
 
My brother helped me decide that as much as I love kids, I'm not going to have any. You aren't going to like that. *shrug* you also may not like that now since I don't wanna have kids....I may not want to get married.....

Was almost the victim of a freak accident today :ohwell: Was sitting at a Starbucks reading, and suddenly, the wall art right behind me fell and shattered... pieces of glass fell on my foot but somehow didn't hurt me. I was sooo shaken up that I just sat there staring at the glass on the floor.

A lady a couple of tables away ran to the management and brought someone to pack up the pieces, and the girl who came ended up cutting herself on the glass. HOW did I not get hurt? The good Lord, no doubt.

My heart was racing so fast. I got up slowly and I went upstairs and I was feeling so tense that I had the urge to cry. But I talked to my sister, tried to relax a bit, and headed out to this networking event for my organization.

Ended up having a great time despite the shock just a little while before. Probably shouldn't mention this to my mother.

A Checklist on Boundaries in a Relationship

When you give up your boundaries in a relationship you:

Are unclear about your preferences
Do not notice unhappiness since enduring is your concern
Alter your behavior, plans, or opinions to fit the current moods or circumstances of another (live reactively)
Do more and more for less and less
Take as truth the most recent opinion you have heard
Live hopefully while wishing and waiting
Are satisfied if you are coping and surviving
Let the other's minimal improvement maintain your stalemate
I have few hobbies because you have no attention span for self-directed activity
Make exceptions for a person for things you would not tolerate in anyone else/accept alibis
Are manipulated by flattery so you lose objectivity
Try to create intimacy with a narcissist
Are so strongly affected by another that obsession results
Will forsake every personal limit to get sex or the promise of it
See your partner as causing your excitement
Fell hurt and victimized but not angry
Act out of compliance and compromise
Do favors that you inwardly resist (cannot say no)
Disregard intuition in favor of wishes
Allow your partner to abuse your children or friends
Mostly feel afraid and confused
Are enmeshed in a drama that is beyond your control
Are living a life that is not yours, and that seems unalterable
Commit yourself for as long as the other needs you to be committed (no bottom line)
Believe you have no right to secrets


When your boundaries are intact in a relationship you:

Have clear preferences and act upon them
Recognize when you are happy/unhappy
Acknowledge moods and circumstances around you while remaining centered (live actively)
Do more when that gets results
Trust your own intuition while being open to other's opinions
Live optimistically while co-working on change
Are only satisfied if you are thriving
Are encouraged by sincere, ongoing change for the better
Have excited interest in self-enhancing hobbies and projects
Have a personal standard, albeit flexible, that applies to everyone and asks for accountability
Appreciate feedback and can distinguish it from attempts to manipulate
Relate only to partners with whom mutual love is possible
Are strongly affected by your partner's behavior and take it as information
Integrate sex so that you can enjoy it but never at the cost of your integrity
See your partner as stimulating your excitement
Let yourself feel anger, say "ouch" and embark upon a program of change
Act out of agreement and negotiation
Only do favors you choose to do (you can say no)
Honor intuitions and distinguish them from wishes
Insist others' boundaries be as safe as your own
Mostly feel secure and clear
Are always aware of choices
Are living a life that mostly approximates what you always wanted for yourself
Decide how, to what extent, and how long you will be committed
Protect your private matters without having to lie or be surreptitious

SO. No post-date texts from my crush. Is there a time frame for these things? Everyone I asked said 3-4 days. Talked to one of my guy friends today and he thinks its too early to tell, but dude may have felt shut down when I dodged his good night kiss attempt :ohwell:.

Either way my anxiety is building... send an e-mail, a friend request, a text, something!

Give it some time.

I did... while we were on the date actually. He actually said he had fun first, and added that he enjoyed the company moreso than anything else.

@freelove I agree, give it time. If he's interested, he will contact you. If not, move on with your life and be thankful he dismissed himself :)

LOL you're right. Talking to my girlfriend on the phone right now and she said the exact same thing. :lol:
 
freelove.... Yeah, so he knows you enjoyed his company. He took a while to call when he first received your number, right? Yeah, he seems to move a little slow, so give him time.
