Yes I don’t like to schedule dates on Sundays because that is the day I meal prep and relax. I almost never get drunk like that, but it was fun and was unexpected.

@Ale I’m glad you feel mostly great about being single! I was single for over four years between my last LTR and current boyfriend, and hated being single at first. I think it’s normal to sometimes get down/frustrated/lonely being single (or, at least, it happened to me), and taking dating breaks during those times is a good idea. But as far as jerk ex-boyfriends suddenly becoming wonderful partners goes, I don’t think that happens.

I think Sundays are fine for dates if you’re not someone who is usually raging on Saturday nights. I didn’t have any rules about which days of the week I was willing to go on dates, but did make sure that I didn’t interrupt my own life/routine too much to go on them. After-work drinks was usually my go-to.

I’ve had dates on Sundays but realized I prefer Saturdays or Fridays. It’s not a rule “per se”, it’s just a day that I take for me time and most of the time I don’t have the energy to get ready to go out and make a good first impression. Sometimes just putting on lipstick or choosing what to wear is too much.
Also, this wasn’t a date, this is someone I dated and didn’t work out because he wanted to leave the country, but we remained friends. He never left the country though.
My dating scene is non existent now, and I have a massive crush on my nutritionist, even thinking of finding a new one because of this.
Also, getting shit faced drunk is not something I do often, I go out on saturdays but have a beer or two. And that’s about it.

I’ve sure had some exciting dates in my time. Maybe I should write a book! For now I’ll just pick one at random. I was on a plane to New York and I sat next to this girl, her name was Rosalyn. We hit it off (thanks to my excellent charm. Then again I was single for several decades) and we visited each other a couple times during my trip. The last date I had with her we were at this pasta dinner. She ended up stealing my wallet and almost got away until the cops arrived. Turned out she was a pickpocket! I got my wallet back though and went back to the den of singledom. But hey, that’s life!

Guyyys. BG just got an offer for a job that won’t have him traveling nearly as much anymore! It’s not official yet, but I’m pretty excited that in as soon as a few weeks, I might be done with the traveling boyfriend lifestyle. He leaves for a quick trip with his dad and bro early Saturday a.m., and I leave on a vacation of my own early next week, so I’m hoping it’s a done deal by Friday so we can celebrate together.

Dating. Can be fun. I kinda miss it. But sooner or later, that all ends — even if you don’t want it to do so. Eventually, life curiously becomes nothing more than a jarring series of screeching halts…

Go have fun kids!
