I got married 11 years ago and my photographer offered either engagement pics or bridal pics with my wedding package. We went with engagement pics. So, no bridal pics. I had numerous showers, but no bachelorette party.
So date number two with the new guy — nicknamed BCB by a friend of mine —
will be on Sunday. We’re going to an outdoor skating rink downtown and then out for drinks. It’s been COLD here, so I’m hoping it’ll at least be sunny cause we’re hoping to do drinks at the outdoor Christmas market. I’m excited!
I had a (kinda-blind) coffee date today, a friend of a friend who once saw me but I had a boyfriend back then. We texted before the date and he sounded a lot of fun.
Buuuuut… I got to the date on time and the guy says that he is a little late because there’s a Christmas parade in his town and main roads are closed. I waited 40 mins before I left, I was so pissed. At least I got a good cup of coffee.
Yikes… I have to say I never remember when there are parades and road closures in my city and it can be a pain in the ass. Maybe he should’ve looked it up before but I kind of empathize. BUT did he then text you that he just couldn’t come anymore/reschedule another date?
Oh a belated congrats to you @TheLadyE on your stand up performance!
@hfantods Thank you! It went amazingly well and I’m so excited to do more.
In dating news, my little sister’s Indian boyfriend broke up with her this weekend. Turns out he wasn’t ready for a serious relationship, apparently. It was probably for the best as I could see some glaring incompatibilities from afar but she’s pretty upset right now.
Dating is just difficult…often, it seems. 🙁
Yes, we rescheduled. He apologized profusely and even told me that, since he coulnd’t find an uber he was walking. That’s when I decided to leave and told him no, I’ve been waiting 40 minutes already, if You walk this is going to take longer. But at least he apologized.
@TheLadyE, sorry for your sister, but yeah, that was coming. Although, didn’t he know already that he was’t ready with all the family drama?
@TheLadyE Based on what you’ve told us about your sister’s no-ex, it’s probably for the best that he broke up with her sooner rather than later. It sounded like he already knew it was inevitably coming, so luckily it’s happening a couple months in, before they’ve gotten serious. Hopefully she’ll also learn from the experience, too.
@Ale I honestly don’t know if I’d give a guy who was that late a second chance, even if he followed up and apologized. I’d be pretty irritated.Date two was pretty good! The line for ice skating was over an hour long, so we ended up at the holiday market drinking hot mulled wine and talking for a couple hours. We kissed goodnight. He’s nice.
Y’all remember A.T.? Well, I haven’t seen him in over a month at this point. We met in July and I was super excited at first, and we were going on regular dates. Then his travel schedule got heavier, and I didn’t feel like a priority when he was in town, and then last month he had a bunch of vacation time at work to burn up so he went home to the east coast for a long visit. So things have been casual, and since I’m uninvested, that’s fine. I’d been expecting a fade-out and it just wasn’t happening. Like, he kept texting, and for whatever reason, it’d make me a little sad. Anyway, I think the fade finally happened. At 5-6 months I think I should be undeniably excited about the guy and I’m just not excited about him anymore.
@MaterialsGirl I’m glad you had a blast! I was thankful we had a few days before we returned to work from our trip. It was still hard to go back 🙂
