    A couple of months ago I broke things off with a really nice guy because there just wasn't any spark for me.

    Today I got dumped for the same reason.

    That's the worst, especially when it's unexpected. Someone told me recently that it's super rare that two people who are at the same point in their lives meet, and even more rare that they click. The timing thing seems to be what screws up the almost-perfect ones.

    OUCH! On to the next one and best of luck!

    Finally got back to the gym today after about a month and a half hiatus (stupid grad. school). Well, I left with a slight headache, which is nothing unusual for me because I get exercise-induced migraines. I drank a bottle of Coke plus a bottle of Lipton iced tea because caffeine usually helps kick my headaches, but, it got worse and worse until I started teaching at 5pm. After a while I gave my students a writing task and said, "I'll be back in a couple minutes." I went into the teacher's room, got a glass of water, sat down, and could barely move. I started shaking and crying... it felt like I was being stabbed in the eyeballs. A couple of the other teachers went and got me some tablets, and I took one, but I couldn't open my eyes it hurt so bad :( They asked the director if I could go home - despite my protests against this idea - but she said, "just drink more water". WTF?! Well, I had to go back and teach, but I just sat there and gave my students the answers for the stuff we were supposed to be doing... After a little while longer I said, "I'll be right back again", went into the teacher's room, and thankfully made it into the bathroom before throwing up (thank GOD only one other person was in there, and it wasn't the hottie). I started feeling better during my next class, but apparently I looked like *kitten* because when I got home I had a message on VK (Russian Facebook) from one of my students telling me to go to the doctor, haha.

    It was a miserable day.

    Merry Christmas from the surprisingly warm and not snowy MOCKBA (Moskva/Moscow)!

    I confess I have lived by myself too long. I am getting annoyed with my dad for "helping out" around the house. I came home on christmas eve and he was cleaning, he had moved all my things around and I couldn't find anything. He also doesn't put keys back on the key hooks so I almost locked us out of my house as I grabbed the wrong key, thankfully it was the garage key and I hadn't locked the door from the garage to the house.

    Same here, none in 2013, probably some in 2014, I haven't been looking really :laugh:

    I confess that i'm looking forward to celebrate new year's eve with friends for the first time in my life (I usually go to family evenings, but not this year, saw my family at Christmas)

    JanieJack: Super sweet and thank you. I wish I could pin point what it was exactly. Interest/Confidence/Time? I need to find these things if I want anything to change. Cheers to a fresh new year!

    My little sister, who is about 1/4 inch shy of 6 foot, wears high heels all the time (and I mean HIGH heels). She's a junior doctor, and says it's great, because it means she's either taller than, or at least on a level with, most of the male doctors and patients, many of whom are still misogynistic beyond belief about female medics, and can either eyeball them without being at a height-disadvantage, or look down at them from a lofty height and put them on the back foot because they have to look up to speak to her! The point is, don't feel bad about it - use it an advantage!

    I confess that I couldn't find the "delete profile" button on POFs ap so I just deleted all the stuff I typed so right now it's just pictures and I am now getting a bunch of messages (from guys that I would never consider) but that proves that guys don't read profiles.

    ETA: ^^ Holy cleavage!!!

    I confess that tomorrow my girlfriend and I have decided to finally sit down and figure out what is going to happen with us in regards to our relationship. She is taking a job overseas for 6 months. We have to figure out if we plan to stick it out, or just break up and leave that door open in case we cross paths again. Ugh...

    I actually had a guy email me on OKC and he told me with no shame that he is they guy who sees a pretty smile and sends a message-does not read the profile, because he would like to get to know someone by chatting not be reading a bunch of facts on paper (or computer).

    Still talking through it actually, but looks like we will be taking a mutual break. Still talking and what not (since we pretty much have for the past 10 months straight), but also not holding either of us to the commitment of being in a relationship. Because who knows what 6 months may hold for either of us, since we are both looking to make some major life changes.
    Hardest part now is trying to figure out when we are pulling this trigger. Will probably happen the week or so before she leaves, so the goodbye doesn't come right down to her leaving at the airport.

    I say with this time away get in the best shape you can and focus on your diet and the other major life changes you mentioned. Your diet will give you a healthier lifestyle which will boost your confidence and self-esteem. Try something outside your comfort zone. I absolutely dreaded anything with running, a friend had me come out for a 5k St. Patty's day walk/run with 10,000 other people and I was hooked. Now I do volunteer work for other walk/runs events such as breast cancer awareness. Six months can make a big difference, when she comes back you will be irresistible.

    Wait dont' pull that trigger just yet, if you are contemplating when to do it, just dont' there's something still there!!!!!

    Oh my, I haven't read the entire thread about this so sorry If I'm missing something, but 6 months is nothing if you really love that person. I agree with LGrill, that you could absolutely take some time to look within, do things that you weren't able to do when she was here, (of course not go on a sex binge or anything lol)

    I can tell you right now that after that 6 months I'd be soooo into that woman, miss her so much, and have so many adventures to talk about.
    If you guys have truly grown apart in that time, or you find the "perfect" person then you could talk about it and deal with it at that point, but oh my goodness why end something that you know nothing about yet?

    I am not afraid of being 'single' again, as I really don't mind it. I am so busy with work, volunteer stuff, working out, etc... Once she leaves, I am looking to move out of the state (or possibly even the country for a little while) for work.

    We will continue to talk and skype and such. And like you said, in 6 months, maybe there will be someone else, maybe we will have just grown apart, maybe we will realize how much we really missed each other, maybe she stays in that country or maybe I am in a different one. But neither of us think that we should lock the other person down for 6 months, expecting that we do miss each other terribly. We will let the cards fall where they may.

    So maybe a "break" wasn't the best term to use, but we aren't breaking up, just not being fully locked down in a relationship.

    I'm not even sure what this means (would be interesting for her to read the thread and then see how she responds). I just know how I would respond.

    That said, when I deployed last, BB and I had been dating for 4 months. Not only was I going to be deployed for 6 months, but then after that I knew I would have orders to move away for a few years at minimum. I told him that I know most people don't last long-distance, and while I like him, enjoyed what we had, and was open to continuing, I would have absolutely no hard feelings if things just kind of drifted away. I'll have to admit the real deal was it takes a long time for me to trust, and at the 4 month point I just wasn't sure he was going to meet my needs long-term and be worth taking myself off the market (effectively) for 3-4 years.

    Aside from certain missions where I had no access to the internet, that man called or skyped me every single night for 6 months. We grew closer, are still together, and are making future plans for life following my military retirement.
