@Aya I’ve only been to this church twice – they gave me a Dave Ramsey scholarship when I got laid off last year so I wanted to try them out since they helped me when I needed it – but they do seem nice. Not sure if they have a young adults or singles group, I’ll have to check it out!
@Copa oh I know. I had a job many years ago that I lasted 2.5 years at and in that time the supervisor lost 9 of her 12 direct employees through voluntary lay off, early retirement, transfer or they just quit. She was still at that job for 6 more years before retiring. Also, I’m beginning to see why the last two people to hold my current job lasted 11 and 8 months respectively. I haven’t been picking very good jobs lately (well, the jobs are good, the supervisors are not quite so good)
@copa isn’t it nice to feel validated about leaving a job that was terrible? I was the fourth person to leave my last job in less than a year and the supervisor is still there…..
@Ale – I’ve been wanting to see Wonder Woman! Was it pretty good besides Gal Godot?And I have no dating updates either other than I went to church Sunday and saw at least one guy I’d been matched on Bumble with and another guy that was cute and came and sat and left by himself and looked roughly my age – but it seems kinda weird to go looking for guys at church. Or maybe I’m just weird.
@Ale the Bumble app has a feature that allows you to find female friends. I’ve never tried it, but you can shift the focus of your search for same sex friends or different sex dates, etc. As far as I know, Tinder doesn’t offer that.
Thanks for the kind words guys 🙂 I know, it’s not personal, but it still sucks to be called ugly or just treated disrespectfully.
@ale I’m sending you good thoughts too 🙂 I do know quite a few people my age that got married super young and are having lots of problems now, and on the other hand my two best friends that got married at 23 both seem really really happy – OR they’re really good at faking it 😉 (They don’t lie to me though, they make sure to mention the long hours with husbands out working and essentially being single moms without them)@copa he definitely made it easy to weed him out after I saw how he communicated lol.
The bad thing about facebook is….that’s literally what I do for a living. I’m a social media manager for three states! So, every once in a while when I feel like I have to take a break, I have a dummy account that’s only friends with my real account so that I can manage the social media posts for my personal clients and work clients without actually having a newsfeed or seeing other posts.
Anyway, I appreciate the commiseration. Wish I had dates to talk about….but I just don’t. Nothing and no one that seems interesting right now.
Miss Dre – you make a very cute and fashionable couple.
Ale – I’ve been down lately too! You’ll get through this. Since my dad has been doing better and I have more free time I just have too much time to think. I deleted the dating apps because I’m just tired of dealing with…well….immaturity? Disrespect? I’m not sure what to call it. Got called ugly because I refused to send a picture to a guy I had just started texting with. Why was that called for? Totally unnecessary.
Mostly just feeling like a wave of depression is on it’s way and doing everything I can to slow it down or stop it. Deleted Facebook from my phone too because I just keep comparing my life to my friends that are married and having babies and it’s not healthy and just makes me feel worse. Meh. What a lame update I have for you folks today. I hope everyone had a nice weekend.
@Copa – same. I hate to think I might have 5-10 more years of this kind of dating.
@copa I was thinking the same thing lol
@Ale, I’m glad you like your new gym. Don’t text the dude though. I know it’s hard (been there) but it only makes it worse.
@missdre it sounds like everything is going lovely and I’m happy for you 🙂also @ale – I remember those first few weekends after a massive break up and they are hard. I remember not quite knowing what to do to fill the hours. I reached out to a lot of friends and got back to the gym during that time.
It’s not the same but my dad has been hospitalized pretty solidly for the past two months (taking up pretty much all of my free time after work and the gym visiting him) and he’s been out for a week and now I have a free weekend and at first I had no idea what to do! I made plans with my bff for a wine date tomorrow since the weather is gorgeous but this week full of free time has me focused on being single again, which is never fun for me personally (even though my life is pretty cool on it’s own). It would be nice to have some dates to look forward to.
The guy that I dated in January and February that moved away? He sent me pictures of his new apartment and neighborhood and said I should visit. It’s a nice thought but an expensive trip across the country for a guy I went on 5 dates with. I still kinda wish he’d found a job here instead. Or at least not across the country.
Damn @Copa. I don’t know if there’s a way to upload on here but I’d love to see that via DM on Insta if you want! I think that kind of scorned woman/man revenge is becoming more common because I’ve seen a handful of profiles like that the last few years.
Have you ever heard anything more from the guy who had a death in the family?
Sign me up for the Costa Rican Adventure. We can crossfit together Ale. Then margaritas. Copa is in charge of the booze and I’ll smuggle in chocolate.
congratulations KMTTHAT. You sound so happy 🙂
The closes thing I’ve had to a date lately is my super hot chiropractor digging his thumbs into my shoulders and dry needling my butt. It’s a dry spell around here lol.
Hope you’re having a better week this week Ale.
@ale you’re doing the best you can. We all fuck up in the break up process and have setbacks. I don’t blame you for wanting to talk to him, but now you know it’s not going to make you feel any better to do so. Remember that feeling.
