Agreed. Good luck floats. That’s plenty of time and good for you for knowing what you want and going after it. I wish I were more like that.
Long time lurker sometimeS poster. I just wanted to chime in on a few things…
MissDre – go with your gut. Take the break you need. You are NOT obsessing!
Veritek – I think that your situation with Tinder Teacher is being handled exactly as it should. You are proceeding with caution while enjoying yourself. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT. Screw the haters.
LadyE – I’m rooting for you, but I too am a little skeptic about this pattern. Good luck to you!
Kare – yay for the boyfriend!
To all of you who are able to handle the whole FWB situation I applaud you. I think I would get too emotionally invested. But I love the idea of just getting what you need when you need no strings attached.
I forgot who posted about their date night with themselves and getting dressed up – just pure awesomeness! LOVE IT!
Loving this 100 + page thread!
Any updates from the dating girls from over this weekend? Veritek how was your Halloween party? LadyE how are things with Lion Tamer going?
@mucha the party was fun! Had about a dozen friends stop by, ate too much, drank too much and ended the evening with friends drinking and playing Cards Against Humanity. Got lots of bottles of wine as housewarming gifts too lol.
So my weekend was boring – FWB’s birthday was on Saturday, but we had plans with other people already so we are doing something tonight.
In non-dating news, my friend told me she’s thinking of leaving her fiance (a decision I whole-heartedly support because I think he poses a threat to the safety of their child), but now I think she’s changing her mind in the hopes he buys her a boob job. She’s been super distant towards me for the past week, so I think I may have fucked up by saying “yeah that’d be a deal breaker for me”. This is the guy who keeps bringing up the time I was sexually assaulted, so I’m obviously not a fan of him. I would be fine letting her do a fade away, but I love my god daughter and would miss her so much. 🙁
That sucks kare! I don’t have any good advice, except to try to be there for this friend when you can. Dating and being blinded by an a-hole takes its toll on someone, until they finally get out. She’ll need support when she finally and hopefully makes the right decision.
Oh my god. Stay for your goddaughter. She’s really willing to potentially sacrifice her child’s safety for a boob job? And this is the same fucking guy who constantly makes jokes in front of all your friends about your sexual assault? She doesn’t sound like a friend. She sounds like aselfish idiot. SMH. Poor kid.
Lion Tamer & I broke up last night in a highly emotional breakup talk/makeout/mutual crying session that lasted until after 6am and now I am at work with a red face and puffy eyes.
I don’t really want to talk about it but I am very, very upset. 🙁
I definitely need to take a break from dating, possibly until next year. And I’ll be 33 in 3 weeks. Oh great.
Umm. What LadyE?!?
You guys made out? And then broke up? I didn’t even know you kissed yet. Did I miss something on here. I have to admit, I’m so curious… but understand if you don’t want to talk about it.
Remember… age DOES NOT matter. It is so much better taking your time finding the right partner than worrying about some arbitrary timeline and picking the wrong person just so you can get married/start a family/whatever. The people who do that either end up miserable or divorced.
Ah okay so
@ver – that party sounds awesome!! Wine as a housewarming gift = huge win
@kare- your friend’s fiance sounds awful, but I get being very attached to a little one in your life. I am like a surrogate auntie to my best friend’s 3 year old and if they move away and I couldn’t see her as often, I would be devastated.
@theladyE- I am so sorry about your break up. This whole saga has been a roller coaster to hear about and I can only imagine going through it was probably confusing and a lot of ups and downs. I get you don’t want to talk about it, so will respect that and know that when you do we will all be here to listen and offer perspective if needed or wanted. In the meantime, please take care of yourself, cut off communication, this seems like the type of dude to maybe string you along post-breaking up and yeah, maybe a break until the new year would be good. That way you can focus on yourself, family and friends during the holidays and start fresh in a few months. hugs
