@Veritek33 I’m sorry. I’ll have a black coffe in her honor.
July 8, 2016 at 6:50 pm #591444Hi guys! I’m just popping in to say:
I’m sorry Veritek! 🙁 Hugs to you! I don’t drink coffee much, but I did have a cappuccino today at lunch in her honor.
@Kare- I’m sorry you’re stuck in the middle of all of the craziness right now- I hope you and your family stay safe!
@MaterialsGirl- your party sounds so fun! Wish I lived closer too!
@Missdre- I’m late to the party on what’s going on, but I feel frustrated for you. I also think your plan of action is a good one. I’m curious to hear what he has to say when he returns…
@Ktfran- this is more on topic for the morning letter, but I have to say THANKS for bringing up the gaping bra thing. I actually was super fed up earlier this week because my (old, probably stretched out) bra was doing the same and it was feeling super uncomfortable. On Tuesday after work I went to Macy’s and tried on a bunch of bras- wound up getting one B-cup and 3 A-cup bras, which look the same as the B-cup but whatever. (Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger with padding ftw.) No gaps, and I feel so much better. 😛I have a date tomorrow afternoon with a guy I feel pretty lukewarm about… Quick backstory: We went on 3 dates back in March, where he came on pretty heavy, and then he abruptly ended things because he wanted to exclusively date someone else. Ok fine, bye. Then in May, he got back in touch and wanted to go out for a drink. But no explanation about the other person or where he was at or anything. (In fact I thought we were just friends. Until he referred to it being a “date” and he kept touching my leg, which I ignored). We went to a baseball game, after which he said he felt like I had ignored him, both at the game and at the previous date. (I said, well, I was paying attention to the game while talking to you bc I like baseball, and you had my complete attention at the bar so…) In June I moved and had crazy work stuff going on so we talked sporadically, but he suggested getting together once I got all unpacked. So that’s going to be tomorrow. I genuinely like hanging out with him, as he’s funny and we have good conversation, but I just feel kind of indifferent. I haven’t missed him at all… which to me is a sign. So yeah. We’ll see. I know that, even though I have a fun time when I’m with him, it doesn’t mean we actually have chemistry/we should go out, etc.
July 11, 2016 at 12:00 am #595023@veritek I am so sorry for your loss, my thoughts are with you 🙂
@MissDre I am so sorry for what is going on with you and Pilot Guy, I can kind of relate. When I started dating a guy earlier this year I had just applied for the internship program I am in now. I had one interview and didnt get the the job with that group. So we continued dating, and low and behold at the very end of the internship period in March I got a call for another interview with another group (a month after my first interview so a total surprise), and I got the job! I kept him in the loop though, we were talking on the phone when I got the call and told him after i got it, we continued to “date” till I left in May. So having this guy go so quiet is a little weird, especially with his communication track record. I hope you hear from him and he apologizes for going quiet. I think it is especially hard that after 2 whirlwind months it is hard to have this happen so suddenly. But he kind of owes it to you to tell you what is going on, especially after he wanted to exclusive and establish a relationship with you.So in the course of less than 24 hours, the guy I’ve been dating went from making plans a couple months away to sending me a “I don’t think we should continue dating” text at 6:15 this morning. Because Monday mornings don’t suck enough, right!? We’ve only been dating like 2.5 months but the past month we’ve been seeing one another really regularly, so I’m sad because I think I’ll feel the loss/change in my routine even if it was still new. Feeling a bit disheartened and wondering if there are obvious signs I missed (I was cautiously optimistic, but this felt REALLY abrupt for me). I guess if nothing else I’m glad to know he doesn’t see us together long term sooner rather than later. Onto the next, I guess! Bah.
July 11, 2016 at 9:04 am #595825Yeah, I’d say he’s ghosted you, Dre; I’m sorry. That really sucks!
If I had to guess what happened based on what you’ve shared, I’d say that he was looking for some distraction from whatever his real life entails (maybe that’s another woman, maybe it’s just a stressful job — who knows), and some kinky sex with a beautiful woman. He liked the chase, especially with someone who said she was more vanilla/ not very experienced in kink. He realized part of winning you over meant telling you he was exclusive with you/ making you think he was your boyfriend so that you’d feel safe with him and trust him. Once he got what he was after, or realized he wasn’t going to get what he was after, or he just got bored, or his real life got complicated enough that he couldn’t keep up the charade with you anymore he bailed.July 11, 2016 at 9:06 am #595833Copa, if I had to guess for your situation, I’d say there’s another woman in the picture. There’s either an ex who has resurfaced or he met someone else or he was seeing someone else whom he decided he liked me.
I’m sorry!@MissDre – I’m sorry! I know I was in the “I’m not sure if this is weird” camp, BUT I think it’s horribly rude to not respond to someone who is clearly reaching out (which you did). Even if he DID reach out to you at this point, would you even want to give him the time of day? I know a lot of people seem to do it, but I have NO PATIENCE for people who think slipping away quietly is the kinder thing to do, ESPECIALLY if there have been more than, I dunno, 2 dates. You’re better off without him!
