thanks Pamplemousse! I’m staying at Zoetry in Riviera Maya with my travel agent friend and I think she knows some of the tricks and tips but she hadn’t mentioned that! And I don’t get bored if the food is good. Honestly if I find something I like I’ll keep going back for it lol
I have come across my share of flakes as well. As much as it was disappointing, it was also oddly satisfying to tell them that I didn’t have the bandwidth to do all the chasing, or to have essentially a pen-pal relationship. That I liked them, and if they found themselves in a better place in the future (time-wise, emotion-wise, whatever) to get in touch and if I was single, I’d be happy to get together. Weirdly empowering.
I love lazy all-inclusives, BTW. I also found cheerful attempts to speak a few Spanish words as well as tipping always made the experience better. (Up here in the Great White North, we rarely learn Spanish in high school)
MissDre, I hope you have an awesome time on Friday!
@abbytoo it did feel nice to finally say “this is not enough for me, when you’re done you can call and if I’m still available I’ll consider it.” I agree with @Lianne I probably took too long to get to that point…..but I can’t change that now.
My hometown is actually a town called Mexico, which is very confusing for people not from the area when I say “Oh I’m going to Mexico for the weekend.” So I plan on messing with some people around here and implying I’m going home and then coming back with sunburn and a hangover instead 😉 I took French and Spanish in high school and if nothing else, I know Gracias!
Thank you for the good luck wishes everyone 🙂 Veritek, hope you have a great trip! Also, don’t bother giving that guy the time of day if he tries to ask you out again. He’s made it pretty clear that his lifestyle just doesn’t line up with yours.
I’ve gotten to the point that I turn someone down even if I’m free because I’m annoyed they’re asking last minute. I can’t just go from homebody to sex goddess in an hour.
I haven’t been active on my dating profiles, but meh…I’m just not feeling it right now. I’m enjoying hooking up with three guys. Each one has some sort of quality I enjoy, and I’m not ready to be in a committed relationship yet.
Enjoy Mexico, veritek! I think you should totally unplug and just relax. It can be very satisfying!
@Kare I never accept dates last minute… I’m just not a spontaneous person. I need time to prepare mentally to go out.
@Veritek we are going to a wood oven pizza place, I’ve never been there before but I think it’s a bit like an upscale pub.
I haven’t met this guy yet. We matched on Tinder last weekend, chit chatted a bit, the topic of pizza came up so I dropped a hint that I’d been wanting to try this place. He said he’s been and it was awesome, that he’d be happy to go back if I was up for it. So we set up the date, and I’ve kept the texting to a minimum since then. Don’t want to build up some idea of this guy in my head based on text messages and then be disappointed when he turns out to be different in person.
I went on a double date last night with a couple that met on Tinder (in the midwest; they were in town for a conference). He’s a former-fitness-model-turned-attorney, and she’s an ass surgeon! Apparently they have been dating since October (though keeping it quiet on FB) and they seem like a really cute couple. He’s difficult to understand because he is deaf (though he hears with an implant and he lip reads) and a lot of people just nod him off, but she seems to understand everything he’s saying.
Anyway, go Tinder I guess!
I don’t know anybody who has ever started a relationship through Tinder, although I have heard of cases here and there. So I guess it’s possible!
So far, I’m impressed that he has a job (in his field), actually likes his job, and owns a condo. All things that apply to me as well, and seem to be a rare find even among men in their early 30s.
Anyway, I guess we’ll see what happens. Worst case scenario, the pizza will be good! 🙂
Met and began relationship with Physicist through Tinder. And my good friend’s ex met his new girlfriend on there as well (poor girl).
My cousin is marrying a girl he met on tinder. I’m 80% sure it’s their wedding theme (although it may just be their website/hashtag).
