I feel quite a bit better after the talk. And now he really does know how important it is for me to feel like I’m part of his entire life, not just our little romantic bubble and my friends/family. I think we’ll have fun this weekend and I’m meeting a couple of his college friends at the Marquette basketball game.
He also told me his mom wants him to bring me out for dinner soon.
Fingers crossed!
He has now seen me at my absolute worst.
Yay Ver! Glad you had fun!!!!
Stone, I’d do the same and leave and get ready. I do that almost every Friday, even if I’m just meeting friends.
Thanks Lianne. This is the weekend. Last night he took me to dinner at a fancy new restaurant I’ve been wanting to try. Tonight we’re meeting my friends for after work birthday drinks and tomorrow we’re going to Milwaukee and staying at what seems like a cute little Irish Inn.
Full Disclosure, he saw a bad side of me this week. I had a melt down last night and I wasn’t pleasant through what should have been a lovely evening. For some stupid reason, I got upset that on Wednesday, he left for lunch with coworkers, drank for three hours, went home and had an IM chat with me then several hours later asked me the same question he did earlier…. he forgot we even IM’d. I was irrationally upset about this. Last night after dinner we started to talk about it. And the more we talked, I realized why I was really upset. It bothers me greatly that he doesn’t include me often when he does things with friends and family. His parents live about a half hour away and I met his mom once for lunch. He’s met all my immediate family, who live five hours away, and a lot of my extend family, who live all over. He’s met everyone who is important to me in Chicago. And I’ve fully integrated him into my life. I don’t feel like he has integrated me into his. The getting drunk in the middle of the day with his coworkers/close friends hit it home for me. They ask him to go out after work, and he says no because he is doing something with me. So he’ll only hang with them when he knows I can’t. He has known this bothers me for a while, but I guess he didn’t know how much. Anyway, we talked about it last night and he knows how I feel. So I truly hope he does something about it. I know he loves me. The card he wrote for my birthday was so freaking sweet. I just want him to include me in all parts of his life.
Dre – GROSS! I mean really. That’s kind of traumatizing. I’m sorry that happened.
Yay to the date Ver! Your evening sounds lovely. I’m really sorry things fizzled with the other guy.
Stone, I love that you’re so excited about this new guy. He sounds pretty great. Good luck!
Kare, have fun dressing up. Woohoo!
Cleo, I’m impressed about the three dates. I wouldn’t have the energy. Good for you!
Money, that also sounds like a lovely date.
Thanks all for the birthday wishes!
TBD and I are going away this weekend. Just for a night. My birthday is Thursday. He’s taking me to dinner. Friday I’m going to a wine bar I’ve wanted to try. Saturday morning, we’re going to Milwaukee, then a Marquette game (his alma mater and he’s a die hard fan) then staying the night!
For Christmas, he gave me a Marquette long sleeve t-shirt for when I watched games with him. He wasn’t sure if he should… but I thought it was sweet because it shows that he wants me around and doing things he loves with him.
As an aside. My first serious boyfriend gave me a Vols (his school) T-shirt as a first present. I think I def have a type….
Married dates/trips/stories totally count!
It more my old body, specifically my lower back, is sore a hell of a lot these days… which is why I need to go to yoga again, and do some core strengthening. I’d just rather sleep in with TBD (his new nickname because my dad called him the bearded wonder) on Saturday’s. I need to get over that. Stat.
Getting old sucks.
Stone, I’m glad you’re having such a good time exploring this new relationship! It is fun to have those feelings and your view is extremely interesting. I like reading about it.
Ver, good for you for CrossFit. I need to start a new class. And get back into yoga. Damn new boyfriend.
Money, yay! I hope he gets a hold of you soon for date #2. I would have done the same and texted that I had a good time. Don’t worry too much about the age. I’ve dated a couple guys quite a bit younger. I never worried about it.
Lianne, I love that your pregnant self keeps up with and comments on the dating thread!!!!
Money – so, weird and funny! And def an interesting story. I also think it’s a good sign that he texted the next day. Yay you and good luck on Wednesday’s date. Let us know how it turns out.
Kare, I agree with Lianne. Your life is fascinating!
Money, the most interesting part of your story is the random woman. How did she get your number?!? Also, yay for a fun make out session!
Ver, I’m glad you had a fantastic time! I already like this guy better than the last.
If you can get away with it mucha, don’t wear hose. Like, if you’re only going to be in and out of a car for not very long, you could possibly not wear hose?
I think nude heels is your best bet for winter.
Earlier this year, I saw light pink/blush paired with dark green, think emerald or hunter. I LOVED the combo. I’ve wanted to do it since but haven’t found the right pieces. If you happened to have dark green pumps…. I say go for it.
By the way, I love the dress you’re renting!
Do it stone! I love a reason to get dressed up. I feel this is a good reason, regardless of what you’re doing, because you know, it’s nye.
I’ve decided not to wear a dress this year, which is unusual. But I’m wearing my maroon colored skinny pants, shiny gold/black/maroon sleeveless low cut top, my new black blazer, black heels and I think it’ll look good. I’m also getting my nails done.
Ooh, fun ver!
kare, i’m so intrigued by your parties.
stone, you did the 36 question thing? That’s kind of cool. I should do that sometime.
