Decided to get back into dating this week created a profile on POF and since tuesday have gotten about 300 messages 90% of them wanting sex. WAS IT SOMETHING I SAID?? yikers..
Anyway... Meeting random hookup guy from three weeks ago tonight.. can't wait. We've been texting everyday ever since. Problem is he's a paramedic and works like 7 days a week, in a city 2 hours away so not much hope it'll turn into anything serious. lol.
Also, have a date with a new guy om Sunday so who knows... I seriously hate dating........
Hey, that's brilliant that paramedic is back in touch :bigsmile: I know ultimately that's not what you want, but hey, enjoy the fun side of life in the mean time
Good luck on Sunday :flowerforyou:0 -
There is one guy from POF that really wants to go out. He thinks we're perfect for each other but I'm not sold on it. He just wants "one chance" but he's coming off really desperate. Huge turn off. Should I give him a chance or not? Told him I would think about it so he knows I'm on the fence.
YES!!! What you got to lose Shelllllleeeeee???? He might have a huge.............house!!! :laugh:
Good luck :flowerforyou:0 -
I got my airplane tickets to NY. Planned to go by myself. Asked a few friends. Then my old b/f (lives on the opposite coast :sad: ) asked if he could come. When I mean "old" I mean 25 years ago. Actually pretty stoked about it. (He's the guy I never forgot...)
So, looking forward to a fabulous time next month.
OMG!! That's fate working in mysterious ways!! I just WISH my first love would appear right now!! How wonderful. Hope you have the best time and click again :bigsmile:0 -
I had a "friend date" last night - someone I met on OK Cupid - but since he doesn't want children and I do (biological clock is tickin' and all), we decided to try friends instead... we met for ice cream last night and talked for a good two hours before it was time to part ways. It'll be nice to have a single friends in the area - my other friends already have families.
I also have a "real" date tomorrow. Met up with him for iced coffee last weekend, but this will be the first actual date
I'll be sending good vibes out to NC and David for your dates and to Anna for general dating karma
** Note to self: buy battery operated fan
Good luck with your dates. At least you were honest with the first one :flowerforyou:0 -
week started off with sad excitement, but has gotten better. Nothing earth shattering better.....on the 4th I was with my sisters, brother in law and 4 children waiting for them to get ice cream off truck (none for me) and this very good looking man struck up conversation with me. So we chatted, and he was very pleasant AND lives right down the street from my family cottage. However, he had at least 2 children - probably 10 and 12 and no idea if he was married--could have just been being friendly--although this part of the country is not known for that
. We shall see if anything ever comes of it?...........
Exciting! :bigsmile:0 -
My week has been okay. I have only exercised twice but will be hitting the gym tonight.
I have been talking to the same guy for over two weeks now and we would have met before but he has been in Tampa for the last week on family business. He comes home tomorrow and we are going out Sunday night. He wants to play putt putt. Is it okay for me to wear a long maxi dress for putt putt???
I am kinda excited about this date. We have clicked pretty well so far. And he is tall 6'4. Woo!
I'm excited too!!! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: DO NOT sleep with him when you meet Megs!!!! :flowerforyou:

Nothing much happened this week.
Guess it is offical....no longer single my boyfriend has been talking about us moving in together. I was cool with it but now know there will be 3 teenagers under the same roof all boys not so sure I am ready for it.
You can only try, give it your best shot? :flowerforyou:0 -
Finished up our two weeks with a visit to Cadbury World in Birmingham, UK. Now back in London where it all started. We fly home tomorrow.
Two weeks away from my girlfriend, I've got some making out and making up to do.0 -
Now, I don't think I'm getting a lot of dates for any other reason than where I live. I live in a pretty poor, low populated city with a lot of druggies. LOL Nice, huh? As far as the dating pool here, it's pretty shallow. I just think these guys see me as, I have a job, I have a car and I have my teeth.... win, win, win!
Crikey!! You have ALLLLL your teeth??? :bigsmile:
:laugh:
Listen hun, they want to see you cos you're gorgeous. Teeth are overrated!
Surely some of these guys have teeth? And a job? And an apartment? Perhaps vet them first? If they can't provide an equal footing then dont bother? :flowerforyou:0 -

Wooooo hooooo!!! There will be a tsunami on the south coast!!! haha!! :laugh: Have a great time.
I bet you're glad to get away from this dreary weather!! Was lovely meeting you. Safe journey . :flowerforyou:0 -
Not a bad week for me. Got in a lot of exercise even though the temps have been >101 at times.
Going to the American Legion for their Open Mic. May or may not sing. I just enjoy going and listening to others.
I see a lot of you talking about POF. It's okay I guess. Only ever met up with one person and they weren't interested. Oh well. I tried OK Cupid and Match. I actually dated someone from Match for about 9 months, but in the end he had too much baggage. Sweet guy, just through the ringer with his ex and kids.
Haven't dated in over a year.....sigh...:yawn:0 -
So, its been a strange old week:
*the deep sea fishing guy from last friday - AKA Mr tender lips (lol) - has not been heard of again :sad: I refuse to text him cos I always chase him and I need to stop! :bigsmile:
My friend just said that maybe when he said he was off deep sea fishing last friday, he meant for the WEEK, not the night, like I thought?? Hmmm!!! We shall see! :bigsmile:0 -
I found out that having a battery operated fan in this weather is a good way to meet guys.
Thanks for the tip MM!! :bigsmile:0 -

Yesterday was my first day back to work after 13 days off!! In that 13 days I had a softball tourney where half of my team decided not to give a ****, resulting in some drunken fist fights and the possible break up of that team!! Yikes... I played pretty dang good tho.
After that I crafted some bean bag boards for a tourney that we have up at my cabin for our 4th of July pig roast. I think down south they call them "corn hole boards."
The pig roast was last weekend, we had 67 relatives and friends up there for boating, drinking, eating and fishing... lots of fun!!
On the actual 4th my brother had a bbq at his house and then I watched my new favorite show "mountain men" on the history channel.
I couldnt get past a bunch of good looking guys having a fight..........all muscular........and...............sweaty...............and
ahem!!
:bigsmile:
Ermmmm......sorry, what were you saying about pig roast?? :laugh: 0 -
Well my week was filled with fun and craziness. Last night my sister and I went and saw Magic Mike... Ladies this movies has no plot and no one in the theater cared its made us giggle and laugh for 2 hours we enjoyed it. then we went and had dinner and saw Spiderman.. If you havent seen spiderman go see it now right this minute. Its amazing.
Tonight I'm going to club Venom in broward with one of my female friends. Its a rock show and her brothers in the band . So I'll be around a bunch of tattooed long haired metal heads.. YAY... Thats my kinda eye candy lol...
This weekend should be pretty low key probably staying at home .. Though I may be hanging with power plant guy on Sunday night0 -

Damn it Anna! lol There go my Sunday plans. :devil: :devil: :flowerforyou:0 -
My lunch date went well. She was more attractive in person than in her pics and I made her laugh a few times. She was pretty funny herself once she loosened up a bit. There were a few momentary lulls in the conversation and at times her body language looked a bit closed off. At other times she looked extremely receptive and lit up at things I said or asked about. I wasn't sure if she was interested in meeting again. Before I could talk to her about it, she asked me if I wanted to call her or set something up for another meeting.0

I am glad yours went well. Good luck to everyone else who has dates this weekend.
This week nothing earth shattering here. Started my new job. Found out last week I got a promotion at work, and started July 2nd. What a hot mess I was left with. Hated having a day off in the middle of the week. Threw me off my game. Had a date on Monday - always a nice time with him. Was supposed to have a date last night, he had to cancel. He is leaving tonight for the east coast with his son for two weeks. We are slated to go camping the 27th - 29th. I can not wait at all.0 -
I've been having fun since nobody on my site wanted to work this week apparently. So much so that I am having trouble finding more stuff to do this weekend. Ah well, off to watch "Savages" in a few minutes. Then will probably look for something to do tomorrow.0

I had an excellent fourth of July and the next day off!
I got off work early on Tuesday around 8, went home, grabbed my dogs, and went to SL's apartment. Spent the night, we woke up and went fishing, but it was kinda getting stormy so we didn't catch anything. To celebrate the fourth, we ended up going back to my place where my roomie and her bf were hanging out. She cooked us dinner, then we all drank beer, played Spades, shot off fireworks, and played beer pong (I only remember the first two games). Between the four of us we demolished 70 beers, so I was very hungover the next day. I haven't exercised since Tuesday and I've been eating like ****, ugh. I need to get back in the game.
Wednesday night when I was hammered I was saying cheesy things to SL. Eep.0 -

Ok niece, I take back what I said about drinking you under the table!! I would be comatosed on 18 beers!! :laugh:0 -
I had a date on tuesday but there won't be a second. I thought the guy was interesting, we've been messaging, texting, and talking prior - but I don't tend to like someone without interacting with them a few times (in person) and he just didn't feel it, He said I felt more like a friend than a girl he would date. I told him I understood, but truthfully I'm a bit bummed. I don't know how not to be 'the friend' and be 'the date'. I tend to like people a bit slower and usually the people I tend to like are people I have interacted with a number of times in real life. I kinda of deleted my profile for online dating after this cause if I get told I'm "a friend", too platonic, or get another hook up only comment I'm gunna have a hard time with having hope.
Maybe online dating isn't gunna work for me ever.
Anyway, for the rest of this week, I went back home and am on a mini vacation. I'm a bit down cause I'm trying to try and seemingly getting no where.0 -

Well, I wouldnt get too despondent about a 'friend' comment. I think he just means he didnt feel the sexual chemistry he was looking for. But all people have different perceptions of that, so it's not 'you', it's him!!
What I always try and tell myself, after every date, is that the feeling of rejection isn't 'real'. It's two people meeting up to establish if there is anything between them. If there isn't, then, so what!? You and the next guy could well hit it off!! None of us hit it off with every person we meet, even in the course of a normal day. Just let it go and please dont change yourself. YOUR Mr Right is walking home from another date right now thinking "I wish I could find someone that could get to know me and take things slow, sexual chemistry is sooooo overrated!". :flowerforyou:0 -
Most of you probably don't know me too well, I've only posted in Group a few times, but if you are on my FL you'll remember me posting a bit of heartache about my ex who went to rehab and the consortium of emotions that came along with seeing him for the first time a few weeks ago.
I saw him last night in a 1 on 1 setting for the first time in a very long time. Without knowing the details of the breakup, I'm sure you all will have nothing to gauge your idea of this on, haha. But, I had in my mind from the get-go that if I was going to even in the slightest entertain the thought of any kind of romance with him in the future(we have a long history, and the main thing that kept us from moving forward was his alcohol dependency), I had to forget the past and wipe the slate clean. In the past I have been that person to make passive aggressive comments and always allude to something wrong that's happened. I decided to let that go. That's not to say I will automatically be seeing everything thru rose-colored glasses, but more to say that I won't be jaded, I won't be an a-hole, and I won't keep throwing the past in his face. I had to learn to heal on my own instead of constantly blaming him for my hurt.
I saw him as a totally different person. Of course there are several reasons why and I'm not going to be naive enough to think it is perfect or ideal. But, I just couldn't believe how many of those "new" flirty, butterfly, sexual, happy feelings erupted. It was familiar, but it was brand new. Anyway, we will be seeing each other tomorrow and so I'm not sure where things are heading, but I know I will keep my head on straight and hope that I can be logical and discerning while I'm getting used to this new phenomenon. Wish me luck, all! 0
