I didn’t dress up this year. I ran out of time to do anything special to myself. Maybe next year..Did anyone dress up for Halloween?
I went as Cher from Clueless but I was annoyed because my homegirl was running hellllla late and we missed the party, a waste of a cute costume but I might wear it again this evening
My friend says he could've just been nervous and trying to impress me. I could see that. But I wasn't impressed either way...
I don’t know, why would a woman be impressed by that? Unless he’s just really socially awkward? And then he let you pay too.
To be fair, he asked me if I was sure [about paying for my own stuff] over and over and I was so ready to go and so tipsy
that I was adamant about giving the girl my card
This is the first real date I've had since January 
. This guy drove 2 hours to see me, he paid for everything, and he bought me a bracelet from the art festival we attended since bracelets are my thing. We had a good time. There was no crazy, explosive chemistry, but that always gets me into trouble. This guy is a lot more nerdy and mellow than I'm used to, and he's average looking, but he's tall! I'm continuing to lean back, build a rotation, and remain detached and uninvested in the outcome. I'm also still working on moving to Canada. None of these dudes are getting in the way of my plans unless they really come with something.
and we didn't have a romantic connection for a long-term future. 1) If he had issues with our differing career paths he never told me his concern. If anything I should be concerned about his. 
He's an animator, does a lot of freelance stuff and told me he was concerned his contract wouldn't be renewed. So I call BS. 2) Only thing I can think of is I didn't sleep with him when I went to his apartment. That's when the communication tapered off. Don't regret that decision one bit. If sex was what he wanted, he did a good job pretending that it wasn't.
I don't see how, he's deleted. He has no way of getting in contact with me except e-mail but I gave him a non priority address so they can easily 'get lost.' Oh and I also found out he has a DUI and refused to talk about it. Not good considering I'm looking to leave the US (we both love traveling) and that mess follows you. Bullet dodged.
That's what I thought too. And in the text where he broke it off he responded to the question I asked him like in full sentences, continuing the conversation and then pivots. Maybe he pulled away because I didn't sleep with him on our last date though we did kiss a lot. I did have some concerns but I was willing to address them, you know communicate. But yeah I'm glad it's over before things really took off. Rejection is protection and now I'm available for the one who's really right for me.
Yeah that's what my mom and a girlfriend said.
Why does this always happen to me. Damn I can’t thot in peace for nothing!! 
I can only imagine what you thought you readEdited. Misread.
Very Pretty Woman-ish.
I can only imagine what you thought you read
I read that you had to get up at 5am. I was wondering what him having his own company had to do with that.
Thankfully, I don’t work til 10.
Hadn't had my coffee yet.
I heard! It happened on Chambers and the west side highway. My sister was calling me like crazy because during my lunch hour I like to walk on the West Side Highway. I usually try not to walk that far down and sometimes go as far as Chambers. Most days I stop at the World Trade Observatory because any farther and sometimes I'm late coming back from lunch. Plus it's always jam packed over there. Thank goodness I wasn't out there today. The receptionist kept me chatting too long and I didn't feel like going out after. This is scary. I was so freaked out. This is the 2nd time I've had a close call like this. A couple years ago there was a tour bus that crashed in Times Square. It crushed the little block thingy I used to sit on during my lunch hour. And that day I was walking to my spot when my mother called me and asked me to go to TJ Maxx to get her something which was in the opposite direction. I grumbled the whole way and even had the nerve to tell her I was already on my way to my spot. Until I got back to work and saw a live video of the very bench/block thingy I sit on pulled out of the ground because the bus hit it. SMH If that ain't divine intervention.
They do that when you are thotting, but the minute you wanna settle down, everybody gets quiet! LolTwo men I’ve treated without a second thought the entire time I’ve known them told me they loved me.
I’m glad you didn’t go out! I already had to deal with the Parade but once I heard it was near WTC I kindly gathered my belongings and left work. Nope!
I might see what he's talking bout.There was a guy I mentioned in here a while back saying I would always tell him I was busy when he asked me out and he came back asking me to pencil him in for December. So the other day he text me again and I just had to tell him flat out I wasn't interested. He asked me why and I broke it down. I basically told him I am looking for something very specific in a man I will entertain, I am dating for marriage, we didn't work out and that's fine, we are supposed to learn from our past and move forward not go backward, etc. etc. I was in a generous mood so I didn't feel like it was taking any time out for me to let him know why I will not be going out with him ever and why he should stop asking.So I started laughing and said that's why you think it didn't work out??? So then I asked if you take me out where would we go. He said I was thinking this Sunday, we go to Coney Island, have some food, go for a walk... I bust out laughing and said in this weather??? You trying to date on a budget? So you gonna take me to Coney Island in cold weather so we can have some Nathans and walk on the cold arse beach? Do I look 15 years old to you? I could not stop laughing!
I couldn't even remember why me and this guy stopped talking I just knew I didn't like him. She said that was why and that was the last date we went on. Then I was mad that I had bothered to be nice and explain to him why we wouldn't be dating again. Why are there so many bums out there. Why are there men out there that don't know how to date. That don't know that in your 30's a walk in Coney Island in November is not cute and romantic as a first date. You are supposed to be impressing me. I can take my damn self to Coney Island. Good day sir.
Y'all don't even know right now I wish I knew how to post text messages and blur out the number and all that. Some guys are just so hilarious without even trying.
He dug his heels in and started telling me how he changed and he thinks he will be better this time and how he wants to take me out. Men say this a lot and out of sheer curiosity I asked what that meant to him and in what way in his mind would things be different? He said he will give more affection.... y'all that was it.
I called my sister to tell her about it and she reminded me that me and this dude got into an argument when we dated because I told him I wasn't buying the next round of drinks when we were out one time. I had completely forgotten about that! The sequence of events were still a little vague and my sister recounted the whole story. She said I told her we were out and he made a joke (or what I thought was a joke a the time) that I should buy the next round and I - thinking it was a joke - said back "why would I buy you anything? Half joking and half not. He got mad and was funky the rest of the night and he even told me on the way back he didn't like my attitude.
hilarious!!
