Happy 200 pages! Happy upcoming dates everyone!
FWIW husband and I spent a couple of hours in a hot tub eating ice cream and drinking wine last week. Can recommend.
@MissDre good luck!! I look forward to hearing more!
@Ange the last time I had wine in a hot tub I got drunk SO FAST and got SO SICK. Never again lol. Nothing but water in the hot tub!
@Abbytoo that’s very sweet of you. Unfortunately the date did not happen. I texted to confirm yesterday afternoon and he said he got called in to work. So, I’m….done. At this point he just can’t date. And it’s too frustrating. 2 dates in almost 6 weeks of “talking” is just not enough. I told him I need more than one or two texts every other day and never seeing each other. He said he just couldn’t be there for me right now but he will “drop a line when this project is winding down” to let me know when he’s available again and that seems fine. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t disappointed but it is what it is.Right now I’m focusing on my vacation next week. I’ve worked till past 10 every night this week (I went ahead and stayed last night since I didn’t have a date and got a bunch of work done) and seeing my dad so sick this weekend and on oxygen, and then getting the bill for my new furnace……I really need to be sitting on a beach with tequila and all the books I’ve been wanting to read.
I’ve never traveled to mexico or stayed in an all inclusive resort, so I’ll take any travel tips or tricks if you have them 🙂
People tend to overeat at all inclusive resorts, dont do that. Stick to bottled water only, bring some diarrhea medication Just in case. México is gorgeous, you’ll have an amazing time, Im jealous!
@veritek, I think being done is a little overdue based on the activity (or lack thereof) but glad you got there. Incidentally, I ran across this article and it reminded me of your situation: http://andthatswhyyouresingle.com/2016/04/13/this-just-in-its-okay-to-not-be-desperate-for-a-man/
Just because you like a guy and see potential doesn’t mean you should wait around for him.
Anyway, have fun in Mexico. It’s a blast. Drink your calories. And bring condoms 🙂
@lianne shit that article is scarily similar. Thanks for sharing. And I guess I don’t plan to just sit around and wait, but if he calls when the project is done and I’m available I’d probably go. But no, not going to count on anything. I’ll probably reactivate dating profiles after I get back from Mexico.
I’m really looking forward to margaritas and guac. That’s really all I want!
And lol at condoms. I wasn’t planning on having THAT MUCH fun in Mexico, but I did hear a rumor that redheads get lots of attention in Mexico lol.
Definitely bring condoms! You never know… I’m so jealous of your guac and margaritas! And get all the fun, multi-colored drinks you never get elsewhere – not sure what’s in those bright blue or neon green drinks, but now’s the time to try it, right?
I never have a chance to read magazines except on vacation, so I always bring a huge pile on vacation – everything from trashy to ones with pretty pictures to serious articles. The beach is perfect for that. Or fun books.
haha! I’ll try ALL THE DRINKS! And apparently pack the rubbers as well lol.
I asked all my friends for book recommendations that I’ve been loading up on my nook and I have a stack of people and real simple magazines I’ve not had a chance to read yet (free subscriptions = backlog of reading material).
I just want to relax so bad. I’m wound so tight right now. And also? ALL THE SPF 100
I mean, it’s your prerogative to go out with him if he calls, it’s just….it feels like you take this passive role in dating and let the man call the shots, just because you see potential. Don’t you want more for yourself than that?? Even if he’s as busy as he says he is, there is no reason he can’t make even a little bit of time for you.
OK, off my soapbox. I just see 6 years ago Lianne in this sitch and shake my head at her poor decision making and wanting her to know she deserves better.
Also, I think I recall he canceled on you three times, including on his day off. That’s not ok.
@lianne yeah I know. I don’t know why I keep doing this to myself. I’m trying to figure that out. And yes we had to reschedule twice and then he cancelled yesterday because he ended up not getting the day off. He got called in to work. But that’s neither here nor there, because he’s not available in a way that I need or deserve.
