Ah. Cool! I was just curious. Every once in awhile I’ll come across exes who, despite one or both behaving badly, still managed a friendship. My first serious boyfriend and I were both assholes to each other at different points as we grew and outgrew our relationship. Pretty sure wanting nothing to do with one another has always been mutual since our dramatic split, but every once in awhile I’ll wonder if we didn’t love each other enough or something silly because of those exes out there who truly seem to have risen above the shit their ex put them through.
I have an ex who is a friend. Another one I was friens with several years after the breakup, but then it all faded.
@MissDre letting go of insecurities is hard and takes a lot of balls. It has happened to me twice already, people who I though I was going to marry bailed. Like with my first BF, who even showed me where “we are going to live” and eveything. I don’t know how I will do when another relationship comes along.Off topic, if anybody is interested in following my new side business on Instagram – I’m https://www.instagram.com/definemarketingblog/
I just followed you!
We’re still sorting out the details, but I think Sunday will be date number 2 with the new guy. He wanted to do something this week, but my company is hosting a conference Thursday through Saturday and I’m just swamped until Saturday afternoon. I feel kinda bad about it, and hope I don’t seem disinterested.
@Copa I’m sure you’re expressing interest to him. So if you can’t make it because of work stuff if he doesn’t get that he won’t be understanding down the road.
Yeah, I know. I guess it’s cause I always give a guy the side-eye when he says he’s “too busy with work.” And I’ve been ghosted a couple times after not being available on the night the guy wanted to go out, which I know says a lot more about the guy’s level of interest than me, but can’t help but feel a small pang of anxiety. *I* wish I didn’t have my conference this week because I don’t enjoy the long hours, the running around between venues, the being “on” all the time, etc.
The key is to in good faith set up an alternate date which in your case is Sunday. That shows your interest. And if it bothers him, what Hizzy said. He also should know that it’s just date 2.
Gah! I feel like I’m 6 months behind on this thread! Congratulations to Hizzy and Miss Dre! That’s so exciting for both of you!
I’m still dating the guy. He doesn’t have a screen name, he needs one. I’ll call him……. Beer Maker.
So I’ve been dating Beer Maker since July. And I go back and forth on my feelings for him. He’s very quiet and shy and basically the opposite of every guy I’ve been attracted to or dated before, but he’s been opening up more and more and what I’ve seen I really do like! I think I was hormonal and just in a bad place a few weeks ago because he came and I just wasn’t excited to see him, but then we had a date this past Friday and had so much fun and I wasn’t ready for him to leave. So, still taking this one day at a time. He’s my date to my company Christmas party next week and he’s super excited I asked him.
As for my job, I’m in Napa for work right now and I’ve had more wine in the last three days than I’ve had in a month and I’m really living my best work life right now lol. Though, I have no idea what I’m doing at the fancy tastings.
Yay for everyone’s updates!
MissDre, I followed you too. 🙂
Copa, I’m rooting for you for a fun, positive date 2! And to get through your crazy week, haha.I have a semi-strained relationship with my mom, as posted prior. So I scheduled a preliminary wedding dress shopping appointment for Sunday. Just me and a close friend are going. I’m excited and nervous at the same time.
