@kmtthat that sounds adorable! I’m glad you’re having a good time and he sounds nice. I hope you keep having a good time 🙂
As for me, I’m more confused than ever after going to the ball with my “friend” who certainly acted like we were more than friends that night but keeps telling people we are “just good friends”…
And no I didn’t sleep with him.
Wendy I think that was really lovely advice for MissDre, thank you for sharing it.
@Kare how ya doing lately? Doing okay? Still keeping you in my thoughts.Also, I enjoy texting but I also try to remember other people don’t use it as much as I do. I will say a guy who texts constantly before we’ve met or after one date kinda freak me out a little, and I love texting. I think it’s a case by case basis.
@kmtthat I would love to hear more about this ice skating date!
I’m so very sorry Kare. I’ll be keeping you in my thoughts. Hugs from me to you.
I’ll just speak for myself when I say that for me it’s just being happy that someone complimented me. I know people are full of shit when they say I look younger but it’s just a nice thing people say. I often say exactly what you’re saying – I don’t have a husband and kids to wear me out or age me faster or however you want to phrase it, so maybe that’s why I appear to look younger than my age. Or maybe I look exactly my age I certainly wasn’t implying that I think I look better or hotter or whatever than anyone else because I’m often told I look younger than I am. It’s jut something that’s a nice compliment and it’s a good feeling to be complimented – whether it’s on looks or personality. It doesn’t mean we, or at least speaking for my self, are obsessed with looking younger than we are.
@kare I’m so sorry about your cat and your brother. I hope your kitty gets better or has a peaceful last few days/weeks/months. Also I’m glad your dad is sticking to his guns with your brother.
I cosign the end of 2016. This year has included my dad’s heart attack and a major surgery, mom being hospitalized in the psychiatric ward and then being taken off all her narcotic pain meds (which means she’s detoxing basically after years of abusing them – but hey at least she’s finally admitting it and getting help, right?), and me losing my job and being unemployed for 5 weeks (which in the grand scheme of time is no time at all, but damn that was a stressful five weeks).
Really, 2017 can show up at any time. Don’t even need Christmas as far as I’m concerned!
@Copa Sunscreen FTW! Lot’s of people don’t believe I’m 32 when they first see me. My new therapist said she didn’t think I was over 25 and my college aged co workers at my retail job thought I was their age. They’re sweet lol. The ginger genes combined with SPF 100 and drinking 3 gallons of water a day work wonders for the skin.
@anonymousse the guy that messaged me and said he was 36 looked old enough to be my dad – so I’m clearly calling liar on that one or he had one seriously unhealthy lifestyle. Of course, I get messages from men old enough to be my dad sometimes, but at least they’re honest about their ages!
lol @kicia I wish I knew too! I have gone on two dates lately with a 28 year old from Tinder and he’s great, but his schedule is just as wonky as mine so scheduling a 3rd date has been a hell of a challenge.
@missdre so I’m not the only one that notices that a lot of the 30 something guys sometimes look a lot older than what they say? I had a guy message me and his age said 36 and I would have sworn just looking at him that he was in his 50s. But maybe he was lying and really in his 50s. Who knows?
@kicia I’m probably the worst person to ask that question because clearly I’m still single so it’s not working too well. However, I currently use Tinder and Bumble. With OKCupid I just kept getting offers for threesomes or messages from dudes in Morocco wanting me to be their princess so I deleted that one. The only exception on that was my ex from 2 years ago that I met on OKC and we dated for 9-10 months.
On Match.com I was paying for it and literally cannot remember the last actual date I got out of it. Around here people use tinder for meeting people and relationships and not just hookups (though it’s used plenty for that as well.) I actually met my friend the firefighter on Tinder – we’ve never been romantic but we have become good friends. So that’s my tinder success story
I like the premise of bumble and I do use it, but it seems to skew younger for some reason. I’m 32 and I keep getting matched with a bunch of 28 year olds and hardly anyone my age or older. I’ve been on a few dates from bumble but nothing long lasting. But it’s just like tinder in that you can start a conversation with someone that “matched” with you, and they’ll never respond. I’m glad it’s not triggering your anxiety! Maybe after the new year you’ll get some more matches?
@kare that’s definitely a good enough reason to not want to change that situation! He does sound like a really great guy and friend.As an aside, for the second year in a row I have been asked to a fancy ball with less than a week’s notice. It’s a good thing I have that ball gown from last year! Firefighter friend asked me to be the date to his Christmas ball, so I have to find that dress in the back of my closet!
@kare – feel free to tell me this is none of my business – but do you actually want to date the co worker or keep it a sex thing? If it’s the latter, I probably wouldn’t go on anymore “dates” with him. Just a thought. But if you had fun, there’s something to be said for that too.
I’m sorry MissDre, that does seem like some pretty crappy luck.
I’ll try to cheer you up with a story. I took break from dating for a while during unemployment and then started dating a guy in September. Well we mutually parted ways last month since it just didn’t seem like a good fit. I’ve dabbled a bit on the dating sites lately and matched with decent looking guy with a decent looking job, etc. We text a little bit, noting too remarkable, just getting to know one another. Wednesday night, the night before Thanksgiving, he gets wasted and calls me and leaves three voice mails and 17 text messages – all while I’m asleep. Telling me how good of a match he thinks we are, how beautiful I am, etc. I NEVER EVEN MET THE GUY.We were supposed to meet Saturday. So I didn’t respond to the calls or texts. So then he sends more texts apologizing. And on Friday he finally gave up.
So there’s your crazy red flag story for the day. 🙂
