Kate should be getting some kind of commission on this brush 😛

In other news, the job I really wanted contacted me today. Let me know that things are looking positive in regards to getting HR approval for the role in January and asked if I’d still be interested in the contract 🙂

Also, still talking to New Dude. We had a chat and I asked him if he actually wants to continue seeing each other even though he’s leaving. He said yes he does, that he thinks we’ve got a good thing going here. However, he’s not ready to talk about what will happen between us when he leaves. I think that’s fair enough, since we’ve only been dating for a month (fwiw I’m not sleeping with him so it’s not like he’s getting NSA sex).

I agreed that we’ll keep things as is for now and we’ll talk about doing the long distance thing when the time comes. I have decided to keep an open mind to other guys in the meantime, though.

I got the brush too! It was in Winners (Canadian TJ Maxx) and $20 cheaper than anywhere else. It does a great job…and I’ve only burned myself 2X. 🙂

I thought of you all when I saw that brush at Burlington for under $20 (I think it was $14.99)! I don’t need it but thought I’d let you all know you can find it at discount stores.

Veritek – my (mid-30’s) daughter went through something similar during the spring/early summer. She had a crush on a guy she’s known for years, they began a small business partnership and she’d stay at his place when she was in town. He seemed to send mixed signals, as they’d go out on what appeared to be dates and would cook together and snuggle but he’d tell her he just wanted to be friends/business partners. I told her if a guy is truly interested he’ll act like a BF, and to take him at his word. She was hopeful that if she spent more time with him, he’d want to move their friendship to something more.

At the end of August she (somewhat reluctantly) agreed to go out with a guy she’d known in HS and were Fitbit workout buddies for the past year. On their first date he was already arranging a 2nd date and he made it perfectly clear after the 3rd date, that while it may appear to be too soon to be exclusive BF/GF he wanted them to concentrate on building their relationship without the distraction of other people and she agreed. He asked to meet her parents, they flew to MO to meet his mom and he attend our HUGE Thanksgiving/family reunion at my mom’s house. He’s talked about a timeline with her and their plans for 2017. Best of all he’s a great guy and we couldn’t be happier for them. 😀

@Veritek – You’re welcome and thank you for reading my post. It makes sense that you’re not ruling the friend guy out. My daughter was doing the same thing with her guy friend, which was why she reluctantly agreed to go out with the HS guy. She still had hopes for her guy friend and she even asked me after the first date with HS guy if she should continue seeing HS guy because she wasn’t really feeling it. I told her to just give him a chance and as corny as this may sound, he literally swept her off her feet. Good luck with your third date, I hope you have a great time and can’t wait to read your update 😀

For @Veritek’s situation, just my thoughts – what if he is saying they’re just friends because they haven’t actually had that conversation yet? Wouldn’t it be weird if he said something like “oh yes, she’s my girlfriend” out in public when they haven’t had that conversation themselves?

I do agree they should have the conversation – if you want to, Veritek – but I mean, wouldn’t it be weird if he was just like “Oh yeah she’s my GF!” if they haven’t actually talked about it privately?
