    LOL Maria ;) Actually, I was cycling home from a film event on Tuesday night, and a guy started to follow me, asking for my number. It wasn’t scary (I told him he was being creepy and to get lost), but I’m just having bizarre experiences at the moment. Different ones to usual (like going on a date with a gay man, lol :D)

    No news on the house yet, but I have a strong feeling that things are about to change for the better in many areas of my life.

    YOU sound like you have a fun day planned! Delighted that you’re connecting with a man you like – you deserve it :)

    Sherri, I’m going to sound like broken record on this, but personally, part of my screening process includes how keen the guy is to meet. Vague suggestions or a lack of initiation NEVER bode well, nor do cancellations. I know it’s hard to be that cut and dry when you’re in the situation, but look what just happened with me? Guy was very vague about when we were going to meet… turns out to be gay!

    I also don’t believe you know someone until you actually meet in person and have at least three dates. Of course, you still don’t know someone after three dates, but date one both people are usually exaggerations of themselves, and during date two and three you find out how accurate that facade was. About a year ago I went on a date with a great guy. Totally hit it off with him, really liked him. He took me out for dinner on date two. He turned up stoned, paranoid, told me he had a criminal record (as a violent offender) and wasn’t allowed to leave the country, and then got mad at me when I wouldn’t go home with him that night. So, yeah.

    All I would have done differently in your case was that I would have lost interest after the first cancellation. I think for the first dating period there should be a one-strike policy. lol.

    With phone guy we had once made tentative plans but I had told him that I would let him know and when I could meet, he had a head cold and so we did not end up meeting. I let that go as I did not see it as cancelling as I let him know last minute anyway. With the other time, he said he had to cancel as a last minute client meeting came up and since he is building his business I understand if that meeting is a priority. I usually treat people like how I would like to be treated and I have cancelled dates last minute if something came up with my kids. I have even stopped a making out session midway with FWB when I had to rush for something with my daughter. He was nice enough to go to the mall till I was done so we could continue LOL.

    Maria – what you said totally made sense about him being in the “difficult” (and arrogant) category. Its good that I am “practice dating” and not really in a mind of actively looking for a relationship. I wonder if I would take things personally if I were …..

    Since the settlement has come thru I now have to inform my lawyer and wait nervously for his bill. Sigh.

    Harley – Congratulations on the house.

    Vi – So awesome u meeting a gay guy. Now even gays cant stay away from you ;)

    Maria – with hot guy …. hmmm I think u will look hotter. Don’t be surprised if he starts sweating ;)

    I am thinking of starting a thread discussing when a girl is being “understanding” and when she is being taken advantage of. As I have been thinking about this a lot lately and would like other’s input.

    Sherri,
    This is so much the process. I found dating after my divorce was learning what I DIDNT want and then being open to the right guy, who when he showed up I would know THAT is what I want. I loved R dearly, but when I look back, he too was difficult and a little arrogant too. Our politics were widely different and he showed his true colors when the first problem came up. You are meeting maybes now so that you will recognize HELL YEAH when the time is right.

    Maria,
    That sounds like so much fun… I normally hate grocery shopping, but LOVE doing it with J as it is part of our ritual of shopping and cooking together. I hope the weather is super for you.

    Vi,
    You need to carry mace with you .. might not have been scary, but being chased down on a bike sounds scar to me. As to the gay guy thing, I have one gay friend who just loves my boobs – lookie not touchie.. have no clue what that is about, but it makes me laugh.

    Harley.. so great about the house. Was thinking about you and our conversations about R today. Guess he is back in Scotland and still part of the UK.
    It looks like we are going to get car tonight!!!! Then two beer fest this weekend and maybe a hot rod show.
    Wish I had a pin up girl outfit to wear .. I have the body and musical tastes of a whole other era!
    Giving notice on Tuesday.. woo hoo!

    Happy Friday and wishing you all a great weekend.

    maria

    Thanks Sherri <3… not sure if it’s possible to top his hotness though… (but I will try of course)… Regardless… I’m just gonna relax, play my favorite game and have fun…

    Vi, your words “sounds like you have a fun day planned” made me think… we did plan the day but said nothing about the night. I guess we both took for granted that we’ll spend it together, but neither of us wanted to say it out loud… which is great cause it adds even more heat and tension to the equation…

    Celeste, it’s gonna be 20° and sunny tomorrow. My sweater is kind of warm and fally though, so I’ll be fine even if the weather fails.

    Pinups… I LOVE pinups. Dita Von Teese rules… if your body looks anything like hers, you should totally celebrate every day of the week…

    Am still having computer woes, so I headed to the pub Friday after work, met my Mate Tom and stayed till 11pm and drank our heads off. texted my FWB, as Tom is his mate, and he phoned the two of us and we had the craic ( fun). It was nice to hear from him , he was homesick and missing us all so we cheered him up. Cheered me up too as I miss male attention.

    I did see a cute guy in the pub but he never looked my way once. I just had fun catching up with my mate Tom. Shocked them all when I said I bought a house in Roscommon but they understand my reasoning. Mt FWB is awful shocked to think I would consider moving to Germany… he knows how much I like Frank. he plans on coming to see my new house sometime though !

    Otherwise, weekend is quiet. Trying to study !

    Hey girls <3. I had a fabulous weekend (he soo did not stand a chance). I hope yours were great as well…

    Harley, I think it’s good to shock our system once in awhile (with alcohol, sex or something else) (not drugs)… to give it a solid blow… and then regain balance… sometimes we look at the world a little bit differently afterwards…

    Vi, Serena, Sherri, Celeste etc, updates please…

    And happy new week to all of you !!!

    Harley

    HI all. another week begins 1

    Yes Maria.. I have beenthinking LOTS sinve I returned from Germany and life , one way or the other is certainly changing for me. I am not 100% sure I am making correct decisions but I have to TRY. I DO feel secure thatI am back on the property ladder. Everything else, moving away, job aborad, frank.. I have NO idea. But.. things have a habit of working out !

    Glad to hear you had a GREAT weekend.

    #365457
    maria

    I totally agree… of course we have to try… to throw ourselves into the air/the unknown…

    That’s what moves us forward (regardless of if we made the right or wrong decision)…

    That’s what makes our lives interesting, exciting, vibrant, pulsing and alive…

    #365458
    Tamara

    I agree (to change lol).

    It makes me remember the last year I wanted so much to move in to London, to change country, start something new… I felt in love with London, England…

    Then I started to feel that I will miss my country, that there are many possibilities also here, I couldn’t see them. There are new things also to discover/do.

    Sometimes we want to escape things in going somewhere else, whereas there are answers here.

    BUT I am so glad I have tried, during a year, I NEEDED to try. I would have regretted it not trying. And if it was meant to be I would have been there. But it wasn’t, until for the moment, and I am so glad to where I am now, in my country that I have learnt to love and see more clearly/fully.

    #365459
    Tamara

    And also probably, for a part, I wanted to go to London/I felt in love for London, because I felt in love for a guy there.

    #365463
    Harley

    Ha Ha Tam… maybe your London is my Germany. Yes.. I like to try things, no regrets, but perhaps the grass is not always greener on the other side ! jobs still have to be worked and bills paid. Life is definitely interesting compared to a year ago ! That’s for sure.

    #365464
    Tamara

    Lol. Maybe…

    Or maybe it s meant for you! The only solution is to live it, act on it and see.

    Good Morning Ladies!!!!

    Harley – Congrats on ur new house. What do you plan to do with it when going to Germany? Rent it? Any news on the job transfer front??

    Maria – You go girl!!!! I knew he wouldn’t stand a chance …. poor guy .. I doubt he knew what hit him ;)

    Celeste – How’s the car?

    Tams – Totally missed you … how are you?

    Vi – How are all the guys who r chasing you? Keep them sweating … good workout ;)

    Serena – How and where are you?

    Had a great weekend with my FWNBs. Met one FWNB on Friday and saw the movie Maze Runner with him. I actually liked it and would like to watch the sequel. Met another FWNB on Saturday and we went to play pool. I don’t know much about the game so he was teaching me and was really patient even when I was screwing up the shots. It was a fun, no hassle, no stress, enjoyable evening. Sunday had a nice workout (I really needed it). Went thru my entire closet and put away the summer stuff and removed the winter stuff and purged some of the stuff. I felt quite accomplished after that LOL. And then in the evening spent it with my TV watching “Nurse Jackie”. I really like her gumption. On the whole it was a good weekend.

    Today most probably I may meet P (don’t know yet … its a tentative plan). I don’t think I am going to have sex with him but may be cuddles and kisses …. that’s fine. Lets see how the evening pans out :) . No plans yet for the rest of the week so if any of you ladies planning to come to Toronto … lets meet up ;)

    I won’t get keys to house for AT LEAST 6 weeks so IF a job came up in Germany I would either sell it on or keep it and renovate it bit by bit. I have NOT applied for a job transfer myself yet as house needs a lot of repairs which I have no money for. The plan is to bail over there at weekends and do work on it bit by bit. Apply for a transfer when it is near ready, rent it or sell it.. have NOT decided concrete plans yet. Am just happy enough to OWN it for now !

    Sherri.. cuddles and hugs are good to start with. MY FWB is still interested as always so at least I KNOW I have him as my fallback guy if I need/crave some male attention.

    Celestes’s convertible is on FB.. it’s cool. I’m pig sick with jealousy !.. but VERY happy for her. Wonder if she gave notice at work yet ????

    #365596
    Harley

    I sent a “flirt” to a guy on POF.. BIG step for me ! I still like Frank… but reality is.. he’s not returning my affections !

    Hi ladies.
    Day off from work and laptop today.
    Car is a dream. 8 yrs old but looks like almost new. We picked it up Saturday and put 300 miles on it in 2.5 days. Great weekend with J.. he is a car guy, so eating tjis up. I took son to school today with top down. He loves it too.
    Soooo not my usual minivan!!!!
    Then went to HR for new job, took drug test, filled out paperwork and solidified start date. Tomorrow will be awkward but i will secretly enjoy her shock!

    Oh and Maria.. I got a lot more meat on me tham Dita.. that waist of hets wow!
    Hard to type on my phone. I’ll update all tomorrow re; work drama.

    #365628
    maria

    I agree Tam, sometimes our answers are right in front of us and closer than we think…

    Sherri, sounds like you had an awesome weekend… I love cuddles and kisses… hottie will be away for about 3 weeks now though, so I won’t have much (any) of that for a while…

    Harley, tell us more about the POF guy…

    Celeste, congrats on the new car… Hmm… new car, new job… things are really looking great for you… I’m soo looking forward to your update re boss reaction (hehe)… Dita, yeah she wasn’t the best example, I meant curvy women in general, and the fact that they are ultra feminine, and always have been and always will be desired by men (even if skinny girls can be totally feminine and desirable too)…

    Vi, Serena… I miss you and am looking forward to your updates <3

    #365640
    Harley

    Ha.. POF guy.. he’s 43, 5ft 11, works as an industrial engineer, seeking a relationship, separated with kids. That all I can remember. i “just” sent a flirt.. he may never reply ! He caught my eye. fair hair/brown, good looking. His name is 150shades or something. I can’t remember. Dublin area. I was going to wait till I came back form germany but then I thought “what the feck “.

    It’s Frank’s birthday today, I will wait till later or till I get home tonight to wish him a Happy birthday. That’s ALL I’m saying.. “happy birthday” on his FB timeline.

    WOOHOO Celeste.. it’s ALL action. Car is great, nman is great, job is great, one kid out of 2 is great.. you’re doing pretty well !

    Thanks Sherri, I am fine. Glad to see you are all fine too!

    Keep enjoying :-)!

    I spent a really nice evening with my kids and then took the older one for her swimming lessons. After that I went to P’s place. I had carried my tablet with me as I was not able to do something on it and couldn’t figure it out. He is in IT and showed me what to do. We just saw a movie which we did not finish as he wanted to have an early night but had told this to me before I came. So the moment it hit 9:30, I left after giving him a hug. It was like meeting a platonic friend. There was just hugging in a platonic way when watching the movie. I actually was feeling a bit weird about this. I had decided I did not want to be an FWB and we had spoken of not having sex before we met yesterday so that’s why the “platonic vibe”. I guess this guy goes into my FWNB list. I am going to give him some space for now as I think its my ego that’s a bit bruised. I think that though I mentioned to him that I did not want to have sex, I was not expecting a platonic vibe and my ego got bruised that he was so easily able to get over me. Especially till the beginning of Sep he was asking me if we could date again. I need some space from him to placate my bruised ego. Do you girls think I am shallow and vain??

    On another note, another one of my FWNBs actually asked me if I wanted to start dating him and I said no as I like what we have and don’t want to change the dynamics. To which he accepted it and said he treasures my friendship.

    Ok ladies.. the deed is done. To say she was shocked was an underestimation.
    I handed her my letter – which said very little other than I was leaving for personal reasons and my end date.
    I did nto saying where I was going for new work as she more than once sandbagged past employees who have tired to leave. One time it ended up in the person’s offer being rescinded.

    Well… she took my ‘personal reasons’ as that I was unwell and all of a sudden got kind and started talking to me like I am dying – WTH???
    Mind you, I have had some gyno issues (nothing that i shared with her), but have taken PTO for dr. appointments.

    So she asked if I was “OK” to meet tomorrow to put together a punch list on items to get done before I leave.
    This is comical.
    Silly woman.

    #365737
    Harley

    WOOHOO ! Well done Celeste… just hold it all together for tomorrow now.

    For some reason I could not timeline Frank a happy birthday, so I sent a message a while ago. AS expected.. he did not reply. My life… comical as it is, a US mate of Frank’s and mine posted a bottle of Guinness on FB,i posted that he had to taste the real stuff, he said is that an invitation to Ireland, i said yes,he said next yr he would be coming to Germany, i said i could meet him there… he said he’d still like to come to Ireland and could Frank and Michel come too. I said OF COURSE… I had already invited them weeks ago.. which I had, before I got with Frank.

    HOW do I DO it !!!!!

    anyway… am gonna do my best to forget Frank.
