So I don’t have much of an update other than to say that I think things with Army guy just aren’t going anywhere.
Things have cooled off big time since NYE and he’s mentioned taking things slow (we had three dates in one month so I’m not sure how much slower you can go, lol) and when I asked him about what he said about meeting up in two weeks when he was done in training, he said something like “work has to be a priority when i get back, How about sometime in February? We should slow things down…” (as background info, he got out of a four year relationship in like September or October and I had a feeling he might not be ready to date just yet)
So that’s disappointing. I really didn’t want to be excited about him but I was starting to get excited about dating him. So yeah, disappointed. I’m still on some dating sites so we’ll see what happens. If he reaches out in February for a date I’m not sure what I’d say. I guess if i have nothing else going on I’d say yes. We’ll see.
yay Money yay!!!!! Have fun, go on another date, and well, keep having fun!
@ktfran I always gain weight in a relationship so I might as well maximize on being single right now and get into badass shape for me, right? lol
@stone and @kare lol I need to catch up on podcasts! Maybe that will work? And I don’t really smoke, haven’t since college. but maybe once in a while would help lol. My ex smoked all the time so I know where to get some if I need it (kidding of course 😉 )
@stone it sounds like you have a very mature approach to all of this and I hope that it works out in the way that you want. Nothing wrong with wanting a primary partner, I mean, that’s what most of us are looking for right?
And yes! Part of the idea for cross fit was a new exercise to break up the boredom and part was – wow this might be awesome for stress relief! (Because I always seem to be stressed and exercise always helps.) Running is great but I’m used to it now and my mind wanders. With this I’m just trying to survive the workout lol.
@stone I’m sorry your partner is taking it that hard. Is he maybe not cut out for this lifestyle? Or just a jealous personality? I’m just spit balling here as I have zero experience with polyamory. I just want you to have fun and enjoy the new experience too 🙂
Also, has nothing to do with dating but remember I’m working on myself too? Well I joined a cross-fit class last night! Three girls from work go and Army guy apparently does it in his town too and they’ve all encouraged me to try so I did! I get bored of running and body-pump so I figured it was worth a one month trial and I liked it! I’m only a little sore today (there’s still time lol) and I have another class tomorrow morning and next Thursday before they let me join the rest of the folks, but the instructor was super cool and told me my “redheads do it better” t-shirt was his favorite so far (his kids are all redheads)
So I’m trying new things and cut back at work to lessen some stress and I’m feeling really good. Now I just have to figure out a way to get motivated to clean my house….
I learned the hard way that short hair, anything below shoulder length, just looks awful on me. Never mind what men think, it’s just bad lol. So long hair it is!
Stone it sounds like you’re having a lovely time!
lol Cleo, I snort laughed at “used to get all the boys to my yard.” Quote of the day.
I hope you have fun on your dates!
Moneypenny’s date is tonight!! I want to hear all the details!!
I don’t have much to update as army guys is doing his two week training right now and doesn’t have much time to talk but we manage to get a “hi how ya doin?” in there about once a day. But I got a hilarious message on okcupid from a 50 year old surfer in Florida wanting to hook up, so that cracked me up this morning.
How is everyone else?
I think you have the best stories @kare. Like I’ve said before, to live your life for just one day would be a blast!
@Cleopatra maybe you just gotta go hang out with Kare! lol
So I might have chatted with @Moneypenny this weekend and saw a photo of the makeout bandit – and he’s hot. Get it sister.
@Ktfran agreed. The first date wasn’t that exciting but he’s growing on me quite a bit. I mean, super gentlemanly and we have good conversational chemistry. And when he came to my house he brought a few different shirts and ties with his suit because he wanted to match my dress which I thought was very sweet and that he’d put some thought into it. And did I mention that he has to wear glasses to drive and it was the most adorkable thing I’ve ever seen? And our first kiss was literally at midnight, which just makes for a fun night and story.Even if this never goes anywhere, I had one of the best NYE’s I’ve had in a decade. What a great way to start the year!
You guys: I had the best New Year’s eve . The party was so much fun. I was looking hot, army guy was looking hot, the bar was awesome, my friends were having a blast. Such a good time.
And for those keeping score at home – Army guy was the designated driver and drove me home and was a perfect gentleman. We might have made out until 4 o’clock in the morning but nobody had sex. Not that we didn’t want to, but we didn’t. So much fun making out for hours. Slept till 10, watched one episode of Dexter over coffee and then he left. Talk of seeing each other in two weeks 🙂
Kare that sounds like a blast!
Just got my nails done in sparkly red and bought a CUTE sequined silver dress. Kate approved via text. Retro hair and red lips and I think I’m good to go! Waiting on my haircut now.
(Kate describes the Boston accent in writing the best I’ve ever seen!)
