Haha Kate you do that now and you’re married. 🙂

Yay Ver! Glad you had fun!!!!

Stone, I’d do the same and leave and get ready. I do that almost every Friday, even if I’m just meeting friends.

Thanks Lianne. This is the weekend. Last night he took me to dinner at a fancy new restaurant I’ve been wanting to try. Tonight we’re meeting my friends for after work birthday drinks and tomorrow we’re going to Milwaukee and staying at what seems like a cute little Irish Inn.

Full Disclosure, he saw a bad side of me this week. I had a melt down last night and I wasn’t pleasant through what should have been a lovely evening. For some stupid reason, I got upset that on Wednesday, he left for lunch with coworkers, drank for three hours, went home and had an IM chat with me then several hours later asked me the same question he did earlier…. he forgot we even IM’d. I was irrationally upset about this. Last night after dinner we started to talk about it. And the more we talked, I realized why I was really upset. It bothers me greatly that he doesn’t include me often when he does things with friends and family. His parents live about a half hour away and I met his mom once for lunch. He’s met all my immediate family, who live five hours away, and a lot of my extend family, who live all over. He’s met everyone who is important to me in Chicago. And I’ve fully integrated him into my life. I don’t feel like he has integrated me into his. The getting drunk in the middle of the day with his coworkers/close friends hit it home for me. They ask him to go out after work, and he says no because he is doing something with me. So he’ll only hang with them when he knows I can’t. He has known this bothers me for a while, but I guess he didn’t know how much. Anyway, we talked about it last night and he knows how I feel. So I truly hope he does something about it. I know he loves me. The card he wrote for my birthday was so freaking sweet. I just want him to include me in all parts of his life.

I feel quite a bit better after the talk. And now he really does know how important it is for me to feel like I’m part of his entire life, not just our little romantic bubble and my friends/family. I think we’ll have fun this weekend and I’m meeting a couple of his college friends at the Marquette basketball game.

He also told me his mom wants him to bring me out for dinner soon.

Fingers crossed!

He has now seen me at my absolute worst.

I went out last night with a 25 year old who I met on a different dating app (Clover) – we’ve been texting for about 2 weeks. It was…fine, I guess. Maybe a 6/10. He was a little awkward, much more introverted than the Salesman (gosh he was the best) and, I found out, separated from his wife and will be divorced in May so he can’t legally be in a relationship right now. Or something like that. I’m not sure? Anyway, we talked for about 4 hours until we were both pretty tired. He asked me upfront what I thought about sex (the way he asked was pretty awkward, but I could tell what he meant) and made it clear he’d like to sleep with me.

I mean…eh. He’s cute, and I’m flattered of course, but eh. I think I got spoiled with the INSANE amount of chemistry and connection I felt with the Salesman.

This guy, let’s call him the CPA (he’s almost one) and I hugged goodbye and he has already said he wants to see me again. Probably to have sex. It just feels a little calculated, I guess…no pun intended. He’s definitely sowing his wild oats because of the separation. We’ll see how we go.

I need to get myself to LA though…heh.

@Ver damn guuuurrl! Get it! Glad it went so well 😀

@ktfran I guess the meltdown was inevitable, especially when you had been feeling like that for so long. But really glad your man understood and listened, and fingers crossed he takes to heart what you said and you guys both work things out. Regardless, sounds like there are plans for future family and friend get togethers.

As pour moi, I had an awesome date last night with SLogan guy! I turned down Mixed guy for a second date, and now need to do that for Angel guy after how well last nights date went. I wanted to figure out who I was gonna stick with for a 3rd date after last night and Slogan guy definitely fits the bill 🙂 We went to TO to see Monster Jam/Trucks at the skydome, and before going we stopped in at Harvey’s (he loves it as much as I do) for dinner as I just got off work and hadn’t had a chance to eat. Then we took the train into the city and got in just after the motor cross part of the show. We ended up having to kick a couple people out of their seats because they took seats that were not theres because someone took theres, which then meant everyone else was shifted over and we had no seats. So after the unfortunate seat mix up we sat down and had a fun time. The trucks are ridiculous and it was so loud! But we had fun chatting when we could and picking out favourite drivers. Afterwards we headed back to the station and we decided to go to his place for tea and a movie. He showed me around his man cave, he has sooo many DVD’s and TV show collections. I was in heaven! We snuggled up and got through half the movie before we got *distracted* hehe I finally got home around 2AM. We have discussed plans for a third date this week, maybe brunch? We shall see.
