Fun @Copa about your date tomorrow! And @ale, good luck getting out there in the dating world. Also, @Copa, I agree that ignoring the text was your best option. If it were me, I’d almost block the number at some point.
As for feeling anxious about running into an ex… I don’t think you can really put a time on it. There’s an ex I feel that way about. And a couple of friends. I get that flip flop feeling in my stomach if I think about running into him or her. Or, if I think I seem them in passing. I think it’s perfectly normal as long as you don’t let it get the better of you.
Hahaha @k. Loved your last sentence!
Oh, shakeourtree, I’m sorry you’re dealing with that.
One of our very close friends met through Match in similar circumstances and now they are so happily married. I didn’t know them when they met as I was not yet in this city, but I’ve heard the story. They met. Her brother died. She was mourning his death and decided she wasn’t interested in dating anyone. He was patient. Took it extremely slow. And was just kind of there for her and she appreciated how kind he was. I can’t remember all the details. I think they got married around the time I moved here, so they’ve been married approximately 10 years, maybe 11.
Welcome back Maggie85! I’m happy you’re having fun dating.
HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I love this place.
LOL MG. I don’t play the lottery, but the husband does occasinally. I told him he needs to buy tickets in small town USA. He’ll never win in our city.
Boy, I’d love to retire. And one of the first things I’d do for myself is have a driver on staff. Just saying.
Yeah, when I say close to a walkable downtown area, I mean, like two to four blocks. So, like, Bozeman, MT if it’s still similar to what I remember.
Yeah Portia, I’m with you!
I suppose I could see the appeal of a small city/suburb if I lived close to a walkable downtown area and there were local cafes, bars and restaurants. The thought of driving around to strip mall after strip mall shopping at big box stores and being surrounded by chain restaurants is my worst nightmare. And rationally, I know that’s not all suburbs and only a small portion of suburb living. Still. Gives me anxiety thinking about it. I also loathe driving. I’m not a good driver. It’s better for everyone that I don’t.
Living a secluded, rural life appeals to me as long as I had the means to travel. My mom’s family were farmer’s. Maybe it’s that side of me coming out?
I’m a firm no on suburbia as well. I can do large, walkable city or rural. There’s really no in between for me.
I hope that’s not a bad omen for my future… after college, I lived in FL for five years. Since then, I’ve said I’m never moving back. (Not that FL is bad, just not for me, so I’m not dissing it!). Watch, that’s where the husband and I will by our winter home, which we plan to do in about 10 years or when he decides to sell his rental property, whichever comes first.
Lol. Hilarious. I love it.
Ahh. That’s great Ver. Not great that your parents were in the hospital. But awesome that MoV was so supportive. Awesome.
