@Kare Well since it’s been over a decade and I don’t really remember much of anything, we’re starting at Algebra 2, and then I think he said we’ll move on to trigonometry (“And once we get there I can start teaching you a little physics!”), and calculus? I think? He seems to have a curriculum worked out for me for the next year and a half 😀
@Veritek That does sound like kind of a lame date. A bubble bath would have been much more enjoyable! I think Wendy is probably onto something re: overcompensating in the other direction after he realized it was Valentine’s Day. On the whole, I think it’s a good idea to avoid first dates (which should be fairly casual ‘let’s make sure neither of us is blatantly crazy and that we enjoy being around each other’ affairs) on a holiday that is generally associated with cupid’s arrows and romance.
@missDre Aw, that is a bummer! Hope everyone around you recovers soon.
@Veritek yay for bubble baths and homemade crabcakes! That sounds like a fantastic way to spend the day.
@MissDre Did you end up having that second date on Sunday?
@Kare You’d never been rollerblading before? It is really tough the first couple times, but I feel like once you realize how to work your legs, it suddenly gets really easy. But I may be speaking from a place of privilege since I used to go a lot when I was younger.@Cleopatra That sounds like such a nice weekend! I’m really excited to go see the Deadpool movie. Everything I’ve heard about it has been good.
I had a pretty good valentine’s day. Went to J’s house for brunch and to hang out with him and his other girlfriend for a few hours, which was only a little bit uncomfortable (first time hanging out just the three of us, and while she and I did make peace she still just sort of rubs me the wrong way). We just played some Settlers of Catan, and kept things fairly light. Then I had a really nice bike ride home and Physicist came over, we had spectacular sex, took a super long nap and then watched a bunch of Firefly and ordered takeout. Yesterday we went to brunch and then took a long walk by the creek near my house, and then had a math lesson – oh! Yeah, he’s re-teaching me math. We started last weekend and I was really excited about it, so he ordered me a textbook. Not the direction I expected our relationship to go, but I’m digging it 🙂
@Veritek I’m so glad to hear you’re taking care of yourself, that’s really wonderful! And I really am just so sorry to hear about your dad, but it’s fantastic that he just needs lifestyle changes and not surgery.
@Kare add me to the curious about the ‘sort of’ sex tape.
Related: J and I recorded ourselves last year (or maybe the year before) while we were tripping, and it’s weird how much I like watching that video 😀
@Veritek I’m so sorry that you’re having to go through that. I will be sending good thoughts and internet hugs to you.
@Trixy That is fantastic! I wish I’d known you were in Colorado 🙂
I have no interesting dating stories to tell. Things are still going really really well with Physicist, and J is adjusting to it really well. I know he’s afraid of what happens if/when I find someone who wants the same thing as me long term, but he seems to be dealing with it well enough. He’s been extra clingy/affectionate lately and I honestly don’t know if it’s because of my new relationship, or because his other girlfriend has been dealing with some marital issues and hasn’t really been available.
Next month the four of us are all going to a TMBG concert together, so that should be interesting.
Yay poly bliss!
@TheLadyE That sounds like such a fun weekend! I love when weekends are full of friend time (sometimes, others I’m kind of a recluse).
Honestly I’m more excited to spend the whole weekend with my friend group than the house itself (though, YAY HOT TUB AND FIREPLACE!). There’s going to be so much gaming and drinking. It’ll be like my birthday party but for two days.
Oh that’s exciting! You’ll have to tell me about it. I have a couple friends who got married at the hotel it’s based on, and it’s really a gorgeous place. I’m pretty sure they do ghost tours there on a regular basis, but I’ve never been on one.
I’m headed out to the mountains with some friends for the weekend. We rented a house for Fri/Sat nights with a hot tub and a fireplace. We’re going to play lots of tabletop games, have a snowman building contest, probably do some sledding, and I’m guessing I’ll probably finish the book I’ve been reading, which I have not wanted to put down.
I’m so excited for the mini-getaway.
I feel like my dating life has gotten a lot less interesting since I met Physicist. J and I had to have a super serious conversation about where we’re going (and where we’re not going) to make sure we were on the same page. But he’s been adjusting to me having a new relationship, and things are going really smoothly. I continue to be completely smitten with Physicist. The other day he came over and I was tired and crampy so he made dinner for me and let me read my book. We are having to force ourselves to set reasonable timelines for things so that we don’t run away together.
@MissDre @Moneypenny oh man do I know that frustration. For so long it seemed like either I just wasn’t interested in anyone, or when I was they’d sort of fade out after a date or two, or after a couple days of just texting. I mean, it’s reasonable, because obviously not everyone you’re interested in/excited about is going to feel the same way about you and vice versa, but it gets to be kind of exhausting.
I’ve felt low-grade anxious all day long and I hate it. I know it’s because I stayed up too late last night, but all I want to do is shake it and I just can’t seem to. I’m looking forward to seeing the Physicist again tonight. Sounds like we’re probably going to go bowling, which should be really fun and low key and just what I need.
I mostly come hear to live vicariously through everyone else, and because I need some outlet other than my friends to gush at about the sexy physicist.
Also, I care Veritek! But I also understand not wanting to be analyzed. It’s rough to share things with strangers on the internet sometimes.
He’s the same guy who wrote the “Fuck Yes or No” article that’s been posted around here a few times, which is sometimes harder advice to follow than others, but has still absolutely changed my life.
I’m seeing Physicist on Friday! Though at this point, we’re seeing each other as much as possible (which right now is at least a full 24 hours on the weekends and whatever moments we can squeeze in during the week because he’s busy from morning-late at night with school/work/choir), so that’s nothing new. I called in to work yesterday because my entire body hurt after wiping out on my bike on Tuesday, and he came over and just worked from my place while I read. Really torn on whether to go out or stay in for our weekend date. Both are equally fun.
And other partner is starting to relax about it a little I think. It helps that he’s started seeing someone recently that he’s really excited about.
