@kare I also have a weakness for Aussie accents…I once hooked up with one for the accent, and because I figured it would be a good story. I had befriended these nannies from Scandinavia and they used to party at a hostel in NYC that had lots of international people passing through. I went with them one night and ended up meeting this Aussie guy and we hooked up on this small twin bed. I’m still Facebook friends with him – he apparently just got married! I’ll always look back with fondness because of his accent.

@TheLadyE, all of that is great news!
Haha, I sure hope married dates count!
Relatedly, I asked my husband of we had to stop going on honeymoons because now we had an official one. We’ve joked about some of our more fun trips in the past that we were on our honeymoon. Like our first trip less than a year into dating where everyone asked if we were on our honeymoon. So, there are more honeymoons in our future.
Awww you married couples are adorable! Married dates definitely count as dates. And married trips sound even better.
I want to take a trip with a boyfriend at some point. When I was 18 I went with my college boyfriend and his family on a cruise. But it wasn’t like a real vacation. And once I did a trip with my boyfriend at the time, my friends, and their boyfriends. It was alright but ehhh. I want a one on one trip where clothing is optional. One day.
TBD and I are going away this weekend. Just for a night. My birthday is Thursday. He’s taking me to dinner. Friday I’m going to a wine bar I’ve wanted to try. Saturday morning, we’re going to Milwaukee, then a Marquette game (his alma mater and he’s a die hard fan) then staying the night!
For Christmas, he gave me a Marquette long sleeve t-shirt for when I watched games with him. He wasn’t sure if he should… but I thought it was sweet because it shows that he wants me around and doing things he loves with him.
As an aside. My first serious boyfriend gave me a Vols (his school) T-shirt as a first present. I think I def have a type….
Married dates/trips/stories totally count!
So I don’t have much of an update other than to say that I think things with Army guy just aren’t going anywhere.
Things have cooled off big time since NYE and he’s mentioned taking things slow (we had three dates in one month so I’m not sure how much slower you can go, lol) and when I asked him about what he said about meeting up in two weeks when he was done in training, he said something like “work has to be a priority when i get back, How about sometime in February? We should slow things down…” (as background info, he got out of a four year relationship in like September or October and I had a feeling he might not be ready to date just yet)
So that’s disappointing. I really didn’t want to be excited about him but I was starting to get excited about dating him. So yeah, disappointed. I’m still on some dating sites so we’ll see what happens. If he reaches out in February for a date I’m not sure what I’d say. I guess if i have nothing else going on I’d say yes. We’ll see.
Sorry to hear that, @veritek33. At least you’re finding out sooner, after 3 dates, rather than later. Sounds like he probably isn’t ready to date yet.
I am sorry @veritek. At least you are finding out early on with this one, vs the dragging it out process that happened with TT.
@Ver awww that is a bummer. But I agree with everyone else that at least you’re finding out sooner than later. There are other people to get excited about out there!
I got to deal with a full on meltdown by my pre-existing partner on Sunday after he met new partner on Saturday night at my birthday party. I’m still trying to look back and figure out what I could have done better, but I tried really hard to give plenty of attention to J, and not be too affectionate toward Physicist. I honestly don’t know how I could have avoided this, but Sunday was so exhausting. I was actually relieved when he had to go home.
