Yup… I feel very sorry for her… but I am NOT going back there. it was crazy. Some problems are beyond this forum.
September 30, 2014 at 5:12 pm #366687PhoebeAbsolutely agree. That got insane!!
October 1, 2014 at 7:10 am #366763mariaTo be honest, I don’t think anabella is Kay. Kay wouldn’t repeat her entire story, change it in some ways, use a new name and think we wouldn’t recognize her… she’s smarter than that…
I think anabella is the girl who posted a similar story almost at the same time as Kay posted hers (in April/May).
Orlando, I do miss him… but I’m totally OK with it… I’m used to not seeing the guy I’m “with” on a regular basis… and I actually like getting to know him over the phone… I find it easier to listen to and hear what he says when I’m not distracted by his appearance… plus, the more you miss someone the sweeter and more intense the reunion will be…
The house, if you change your mind/find another house you like better, will you get the deposit back?
Red, you should check out Dain Heer… he looks a lot like Sullivan Stapleton (he’s a chiropractor/healer/speaker)… and I agree about how a man moves … it can totally turn me on or off in a second…
October 1, 2014 at 7:28 am #366764HarleyYes… I get my deposit back..mmmn n. …I LOVE how Frank moves….In and out if bed!!! Ha ha ha . Sun is doing. Beautiful autumn day here.
October 1, 2014 at 10:20 am #366783celesteannvHappy October and Hump Day all!
Great news Sherri.. we all spend so much time worrying over nothing sometimes.
Harley.. the wait must be horrible. Also wanted to say how great you looked in birthday party pics!Maria, you are so good about not seeing your guy. I know it is early, but I get so idgy when J and I do not see each other. I have such a busy life, but when we are together.. even if casually with my kid, I am so much calmer and settled. Hard to describe.
2.5 days here and counting! Stress is slowly slipping away.
Amazing fall weather here.. date night tonight and .. one year anniversary this weekend! J has no extra cash, but will get him a card and write a note. No big plans but so glad it fell on a “non-mom” weekend!
October 1, 2014 at 10:24 am #366785SherriI have a nice weekend planned and totally looking forward to it. I am going to this new meet up group this Friday for drinks and dancing. I have informed my sister and she said if she is free, she will join me. I hope it is fun :)
On Saturday I am going to a comedy show with one of my FWNBs. Lets see what the day holds for me besides laundry LOL
On Sunday, meeting a new guy from online for the 1st time. I am not attracted to his photographs. But find that many times the guy’s whose photos I like, I am not attracted to in person and the guy’s whose photos I am not attracted to, I am totally attracted to in person (eg. FWB). So I just want to see if there is anything there or not.
I find that my sexual appetite is going down. Is this normal?? I just turned 35 :(
Meeting FWB on Tuesday :)
P has gone MIA but I am not really running behind him. If he needs to contact me, he knows my number. Anyway we are just “friends” so no biggie.
Harley that’s great that you can still shop even though you have put a bid in. Over here once you have signed and decided on a closing date, you are in.
Maria – May be I missed it. Who is Orlando??
October 1, 2014 at 10:27 am #366788HarleyThanks for the compliments Celeste. Come Friday. ..you will get thrashed !!! I met a cool guy on my walks this morn.i see him now and then. But…He smokes.yuk.still !!! He said a big hello so I asked him about his dog. I have by no means forgotten Frank…but I am doing my best to move on.
Maria. ..The waiting is torture. ..just keep busy.
I try to not think about house…I will not believe it is mine till keys are in my hand
Happy 1st anniversary celebrations the weekend.
October 1, 2014 at 1:14 pm #366835MelI haven’t posted on this tread yet, but I have read it :-) And I just wanted to share a saying that has always helped me when things went south.
Experience is what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted.
So in other words I may not have gotten the desired outcome but I now know what I wont put up with in the future or what I don’t want.
I guess its my silver lining :-)
Love you ladies
October 1, 2014 at 1:26 pm #366836HarleyI LOVE silver linings. I’m losing the run of myself this week…….. I just sent a message to an IRISH guy…. IN IRELAND, SHOCK HORROR, on POF.
Will see if he replies. He doesn’t be on site much. So.. I AM trying girls !
October 1, 2014 at 1:32 pm #366839celesteannvPOF work well for you Harls? I had such creeps on there in US.. my GF called it plenty of freaks.. I did Match and OKC. Funny.. had much better luck on OKC.. ment J there :)
A GF is trying eHarmony, I think I would have blown up their computer with my answers.. too much of a heathen here lol.
Good point Mel..October 1, 2014 at 1:34 pm #366841MelI hate eHarmony it is the worst site I have ever seen.
I haven’t tried POF or OkCupid. But Match was a good one I enjoyed that one. They all seem so expensive though.October 1, 2014 at 1:42 pm #366843Harleypof is free.. so far. I find it shite… I find ALL sites shite. Not one decent guy messaged me yet. Anything from 18 yr olds to 60 yr olds ! I really just use it to pass the time !
In 4 mths.. i only saw 2 guys I was interested in.. one i sent a flirt last week.. he viewed me and did not reply. This guy..we’ll see.
I’m not overally pushed.. am just faking it till i make it ! I’m doing my best to pull back from Frank and remember my self worth and that if he don’t value me/respect me… I most certainly DO value/respect me.
I REALLY do prefer to meet guys in real life… guys I can “eye up” in a bar/at events/through friends… and observe them first to see if they pass muster.. Frank did.. or so I thought.
Online guys… feed youall sorts of BS… so do the guys in REAl life.. but at least you can perhaps gauge the level of BS/non-BS better.
October 1, 2014 at 2:03 pm #366847celesteannvOKC is free here. I did not find Match worth the $ but did meet two nice guys.. met J and two others on OKC. Agree Mel.. pardon if my politics are showing, but eHarmony was way too right wing for me. I have a GF who is agnostic and they found her NO matches.. really???
October 1, 2014 at 2:04 pm #366848celesteannvOh Harley.. yes.. you need waders to get through the online BS.. that is the only reason I even gave J the time of day. He was straightforward, honest and his profile spoke to the fact that he was thinking with his head above the waist.
October 1, 2014 at 2:35 pm #366856MelYeah eharmony was total BS. They couldn’t find any matches for me either unless they were 1000 miles away and I was like really?!? That isn’t a match if I have to take a plane to see them give me a break. Most of the guys on there I just wanted to punch in the nose anyway, they don’t have a good match up system and you cant even browse their site.
October 1, 2014 at 2:48 pm #366858HarleyAh.. we’ll all go on Tinder yet !
October 1, 2014 at 10:12 pm #366935SherriHow does Tinder work?? Esp wonder when all the girls come here talking about it.
October 1, 2014 at 10:31 pm #366937RavenI’ve been wondering the same thing & if it works for old women (me).
October 2, 2014 at 1:47 am #366946mariaCeleste, yes I am good at not seeing him… probably because I’m used to the “situation”, and because I like space and have no problem filling my life and time with activities, friends and alone time… so much so that the opposite (if he called 3 times a day and wanted to see me a lot) would make me freak and run…
Harl, I too prefer meeting guys in real life… to be honest I haven’t even tried online dating… perhaps I will one day… the Irish guy… may be something… keep us updated…
Sherri, I think your sex drive is dipping because sex is no longer a “new found interest” to you… what you need now is to find someone you’re REALLY attracted to, and it will go up again…
Orlando is hot guy… cause he kind of looks like O. Bloom…
Mel, yes, experience is what moves us forwards and upwards… and it’s also what makes people interesting (and attractive) IMO.
Tinder is a phone app (connected to FB), that connects you with a lot of weird and a few normal people in your area. If you give a guy’s profile pic a greeen heart and he gives you a heart too, you’re a match and can start chatting…
October 2, 2014 at 3:00 am #366951HarleyAh…you know me and computers. …I could not even manage to log into tinder !!! Saw dig walker guy thus morn but don’t think I really fancy him…I just like the flirt. Taxi driver us honking his horn at me again. ..still no idea which one if the drivers he us of a taxi rank I pass each morn. …my eyesight us sooo bad. Maybe that’s a good thing !!!! Online guy…who knows. Getting cold here…Winter has arrived…..The irish just skip autumn!!!. Glad to hear everyone is doing great.
October 2, 2014 at 9:01 am #366979SherriMaria – I think you have some truth to what you are saying. As previously when I was with my fwb I was so addicted that once we were done I was just thinking of when I could get him to work on me again. Now it more like …. oh that was nice. I will msg you which day I am free next week and you let me know. Also next week I am only free on Tuesday before my parents are back and so I told him that. And in my mind I was like if not then, then when my parents leave. So it was not like OMG I need it or something. Also on another note I am wondering if I am slowly mentally getting ready to be in a relationship.
October 2, 2014 at 9:41 am #366981celesteannvMaria, It is odd, I am ok when we do not see each other as much I tend to run at 110% all of the time and can mellow out more when he is around, even if all we are doing is going for a drive or hanging out with my son. I was careful early on to keep busy myself and give him lots of space as he has been single for a better part of 15 years and he mentioned a couple of times how his last GF nagged him about him not giving “enough.” Now he has been initiating more time together on my ‘mom’ days, so gathering he feels a comfort level similar to mine. I still have 3-4 days a week ‘off’ a week, but still usually text or talk to touch base.
And BTW.. O Bloom.. holy hell!!!!
Sherri,
I think Maria is right, you no longer have sex as a “new toy” so to speak, but do agree that once you meet the right one.. you will find the spark.Harley..flirting is a ton of fun and I think it keeps us sharp and connected to the world. Love the comment about eyesight.. When I walk (and don’t wear glasses as they slide off my face when I seat) I wave at everyone who waves at me in my neighborhood as it might be someone I know, might not as I can’t see their faces lol.
Mel… too funny. J and I are late night TV watchers and die laughing at commercials for other dating sites.. my favorite is FarmersOnly.. lol
J tells people that is how we met.. such a goof!
Raven,
I have a GF on Tinder.. I found it kind of icky.. initially all based on your looks and it does seem to skew a bit young with folks looking for hookups. Just my impression. The one date she went on.. the guy was VERY aggressive sexually. No date 2.Last day here with Cruella.. yes she looks like her.. tomorrow will be actually nice. Finishing filing, lunch with a GF and then let the weekend begin!
October 2, 2014 at 10:55 am #366989SherriFor sometime now I have been thinking of creating an account on POF. Last year when I tried to create it like 3 times, the website did not allow me. God knows what was up with that. But I am procrastinating as I am not sure if I want to or not. I may go on match on their free weekends deal (whenever they have it) as I don’t have the dough to spend paying. And you cant really message a person if you are not a paid member right? Anyone do lavalife or anything??
One of the ladies who is in the same meetup group as me tells us not to go to a particular local dating agency. As they match her with such wierdos who don’t have anything in common with her. She is like what we have in common is that we both breathe and they match us up. But on the other hand she is quite negative though hilarious in her talks so don’t know if she attracts that kind of guys either. The dancing meet up which I go to and totally love, she was talking crap about them and I put her in her place by saying … it all depends on your attitude. If you want to have fun you will. But if you expect people to come and entertain you then you wont.
The Sunday guy cancelled on me. That’s good it happened now and not after I spent time meeting him I say :)
October 2, 2014 at 11:04 am #366990MelGood Morning Ladies,
It has been such a hetic week for me, So many people that I haven’t talked to coming out of no where and getting a hold of me. It must be on an EX calendar or something for everyone “hey I think I’ll see what my ex is up to” kind of thing. This last one he went on and on about how much he knew he screwed up by walking away, that I was the “unicorn” that all guys look for lol and how I am the only one who ever made him feel like he was winning because he was with me. LOL I just laughed and said what do you want me to do, YOU are the one who left. Sorry
I am looking forward to this weekend, I do have to talk to my guy though, he had made some comments that didn’t match up to what has always been said in the past so I need to check to see where his thought process is and go from there, if it has changed then I guess it will time for me to walk away, but I wont know till we sit down and talk. But the good thing is we are both great at communication, so either way I don’t see it as a bad thing.
October 2, 2014 at 11:14 am #366994mariaCeleste, what you have with J sounds really healthy… and when you are totally calm and comfortable in a guy’s presence and enjoy doing “nothing” with him, then you know for sure it’s love…
To be honest… he’s even hotter than Bloom, and more masculine too… at least in my opinion…
Tinder… to me it seems half of the people on there are there ironically, and the other half… well, a lot of them are definitely the Jersey Shore wannabe type…
And ha, I was picturing your boss as Cruella de Ville…
Sherri, sorry Sunday guy cancelled, but knowing you, I’m sure you have plenty of other options…
