@SomeGalinSG When you’re comfortable and feel ready to with that person is when you should go for it! I think for most of us we hit that point at different times with different people.
I’m hoping to see WW this weekend, but we’ll see! I’ve spent the past two weekends out of town, and have another trip next weekend/into the following week, and have so many chores to get caught up on and errands to run. Gah.
I’m going on a first date with one of the two guys I’ve been chatting with on Monday. He recently told me he’s a recovering alcoholic who has been sober for almost five years. I decided it’s not an automatic dealbreaker for me and still worth meeting him to see what he’s like. Ideally, I’ll meet the other guy sometime in the next week or so as well, hopefully before my next trip.
@Cleopatra_30 Good luck on your first half! I ran my first half last fall and the last three miles were fairly miserable, but I loved the experience so much, I signed up for the same race again this fall. I went on my first training run last night!
@hfantods yeah, we never met. It was an amazing coincidence (for me) but apparently he didn’t see me at the restaurant and it wasn’t so amazing for him. Last time I checked he was not on Tinder anymore. I also uninstalled it after very much thought decided that I don’t want to date, I’m not ready.
I really liked that WW is a badass but the acting really threw me off. I went to see it expecting it to be worse though. Maybe it’s because I’ve seen her in other movies and didn’t like her. I watched Keeping up with the Joneses that has Gal Gadot and John Hamm, and fell asleep in the middle of it. Hated the acting. She is stunning though and very adorable so I guess that makes up for the acting part.
Thanks ladies for your advice and for not judging me because I’m horny and want to get laid! LOL
I’ll see how our date goes.Oh and by the way I’m with Kate Wonder Woman is a great movie, my teenage daughters and I love it!
Thanks Materialsgirl! Where did you go? I did Dubrovnik, Split and Hvar two summers ago and loved it. Hoping for more Adriatic magic this summer 😀
I also ran my first half this year and loved it, despite the challenge. Hoping to do another one in the fall. I have two friends doing the Budapest half in September and two other friends doing the one in Lisbon in October but unluckily I can’t make either one. Banjo and I looked at a few options though (he runs too) and we’ll prob do one in either Scotland or the Czech Republic. I love having a race on the horizon, it’s such a good motivator to train! And those long runs burn so many caloriesssss!
WE did:
Zagreb, then drove to Rovinj (holy crap i totally recommend), then Pula (eh.. worth an afternoon), then Plitvic Lakes (ABSOLUTELY A MUST). Did a night in Zadar but i didn’t get into the town, just at a resort..down to Dubrovnik and stopped in Mali Ston for a lunch of fresh oysters that were caught about 50 feet from my table, then back up to Split. We didnt’ do any of the islands, kinda saving that for another trip. I would spend more time in Istria honestly
So, I think we’ve compared jobs hunting/applications/interviews to online dating. That’s one of the topics being discussed on today’s AAM, if anyone else finds this comparison interesting: http://www.askamanager.org/2017/06/online-dating-rejections-vs-job-rejections.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook
Okay so single life looks better and better! Late last night i matched with a guy on Bumble, didn’t send a message because i was getting ready for bed. Waited till i had some time at lunch today and sent him a message and he came back asking “why 90% of the women on the site wait 24 hours to message guys and why do they do that”. I explained that i like to write a message when I know I’ll have time to chat rather than starting a convo and then going to bed or going to work, etc. He said he “didn’t want to be someone’s afterthought” and blocked me. He’s 40 years old. And clearly very butthurt. But here’s my question – Was it rude of me to match and then not immediately send a message? Because if so, I counter that almost every guy I match with on Tinder is equally as rude.
That is definitely not rude!!! Think about it… not everybody replies to text messages instantly. Not even your friends.
And not everybody has notifications on their apps. Especially if they are getting several matches and they don’t want match alerts or message alerts dinging on their phone while they are at work. So, they check the app when they have time. Messaging within 24 hours is completely acceptable.
He’s a friggin idiot being a big baby because women aren’t desperate to date him. You dodged a bullet.
No, it’s not rude. That guy is entitled and needy. And weird, frankly. Most people are busy between work and their personal lives, so Internet strangers fall pretty squarely at the bottom of priority lists.
