    ^^^ Ladies, there are toys for that.. lots and lots of them. Less socially awkward than whatever you are doing to those poor walls.. unless you go in for that sort of thing. :laugh:

    Those walls could have a glory hole.

    Kits, great car!

    I confess I think I blew it with funny guy....

    We have our/had our first house visit planned for tomorrow. With it only being date 4 I was kinda nervous so I said 'hey why don't we go out for dinner/drinks first' He said 'forsure, I will get you drunk JK' I was a little panicky about it due to my past of being dumped after having sex with someone. A few more comments were made.... I knew it was a joke but it really rubbed me the wrong way, so I told him that it made me uneasy becuase I had missed the humour. He said 'Really? sorry' So I said again, yes I missed the sarcasmn and asked to talk on the phone later. I never heard back.

    SIDE NOTE: the potential of sex at this house visit had come up prior. He knew where I stood and wasn't pressuring for it. Said he had patience. Of course he doesnt know I was dumped after having sex with the last guy I met.

    So this AM I text him to just tell him that I realize it was a joke and I had misinterpreted the message.
    He texted back and said 'I def. didn't mean to offend you' I said I had taken the message wrong, and wasn't offended. Also that when I clarified that, the convo had basically just ended so in fact I wasn't sure if I had offended him. He said 'I think I maybe felt that I was being to aggressive with my banter. sorry' I said that I thought we both took things the wrong way, I apologized too and asked if we were still good for tomorrow.

    That was 5 hours ago. I realize he is busy at work, and our texts can be hours apart, but with that type of question ... don't you feel I may have gotten a response by now?

    How would you deal with it? At this point I am almost not interested anymore anyways... seems like crappy communication. I asked for a phone call to clarify and I get dropped off the planet :(

    ETA: I realize I need to get over what happened in the past. It is evident I brought it forward to this guy :(

    Update....

    So I got a reply

    basically said nothing to do with today, but I have to cancel tomorrow becuase of a family issue with my ex, I have to take my kids.

    I say 'I fully understand. Being honest with eachother, what would you like to see happen?' (((for those that don't know me, I like to be told it straight, no monkey business)))

    He said - word for word 'I would like to just assure you I like you, and want to move ahead. I will just be toned down a bit'

    So I asked to phone chat. These texts are so not appropriate IMO... I haven't heard back yet about that (ahaha last time I asked he dropped off the earth) What is toned down on date 3?

    ETA: He called. I again stated it was a misunderstanding, laughing at how it was our humor. He said he felt he should tone it down that maybe he was coming on too strong. I said I didn't think we had to change much, but maybe after Saturday going so well (making out haha) that we just needed to relax and go with the flow. He agreed, said we should move on from this ridiculousness.

    I am glad the call happened, I am not sure how I feel about it all. I need to clear my head. Sit back and see what happens.

    I confess.... breathe. :) Everyone breathe. :)

    Welcome back Roadie! Sounds like a GREAT trip! Were you able to watch the game? (I don't even know if they played...sorry)

    And, toys....yes. Every woman should have toys. Yet, I agree, nothing compared to the real thing.

    I confess that a good friend of mine is trying to hook me up with a guy she met at the gym.... this thought scares the *kitten* out of me.

    LOL!! It would probably scare me a bit too becuase she probably doesn't know him that well?? but.... he is active and takes pride in his body/wants to better it... bonus to that :) Can she produce a pic?

    She sent a pic. He's handsome. She also said he has a great job, is 40, divorced and has a son. She apparently talks with him a lot (she's much more social than me) and says she's got a good vibe from him. But, he goes to our gym! I haven't been since October because of my knee restrictions, but this is my week to go back. That's what scares me...but, she says he's interested in starting mud runs (which means he'll end up on our team) so I'll run into him one way or another anyway.

    Life is too short not to take a chance ;) Does she plan to set up a date? or? Just try to be yourself when you go back to the gym, haha, I would be all shy and nervous. Thankfully I only go to the co-ed gym 1-2x a month... When you enter you have to walk down a 'path' of like 30 treadmills .. I call it the walk of shame, all those men make me so nervous.

    If that is so, I would rather wait to meet him more naturally so you don't have to rely on your friend to "set you up." She can just introduce you guys you know??

    We'll see what happens.... I'm not opposed to it. It's just the last blind date I went on did not work out so well. She's a good judge of character, so I do trust her on this one. Worst that happens is we start talking, don't click but continue to run together.

    Yes barely. I can only say it's a little tough getting up to watch a game at 11am whey you are up until 6am. I think I'm finally feeling somewhat normal today, and that's good because it will be a 12+ hour day at work.

    I really abhor these dating "games" especially at our ages. And maybe they're not even games...hell...Idk! I've read the "Rules", "Why Men Love *****es, etc....and still confused on how to act or what to say. I also think that technology has really thrown a monkey wrench into dating because we miss all the non-verbal cues and such. I hope everything works out for ya!

    Is your friend single? And if so, why would she be trying to set you up with him and not moving in on him herself ?

    Is your friend single? And if so, why would she be trying to set you up with him and not moving in on him herself ?

    Is there any way to get around the stigma of this? I've met so many guys who are great but (because I've got some non-negotiable in my personality that other people don't need) not perfect for me as a lifetime partner. Yet it's somehow taboo to say, "here's someone that's not great for me but I think would work well for YOU."

    Really is a shame.


    Edit to add example: I don’t believe in sex outside of marriage. But many great guys and gals do. If I meet a guy who’s great but does not agree with me on that major point, why on earth is it TABOO for me to recommend him to a girlfriend? I’ve tried to do this before, with two guys who specifically told me this was the reason they wouldn’t continue to see me. Yet they got offended AND the girl I tried to set them up with got offended. The third time, NOTW Tat guy, I invited him to my singles group and HE got offended that I was trying to “pass him off.” I honestly didn’t look at it that way. He was way too young for me, plus he wanted more kids. They’re mostly younger and wanna have kids (I don’t).

    Really is a shame.

    It reminds me of a comic I just read. This guys brother comes up to him and says "I found the perfect guy for you, you'd get along great" and the guy says "Oh really? How so?" and the brother says, "He's gay too!"

    Just because someone is single and their bits match up in the way they like doesn't mean that everyone is a match, or that just because they're not a match one of them is "bad".

    LMAO....absolutely agree with Kits & Janie on this one. I have actually gone on first dates with wonderful men that just weren't wonderful for me for whatever reason. It didn't make them any less of a person, it just meant that we weren't compatible. BUT, I sat through the date thinking about "OMG! I could totally see them dating XXX". I tried hooking one girlfriend up with a guy like that (after he and I went out 3 times...he's a total sweetheart).

    Anyway, to answer the question....she is married. Thinks the guy is great. She showed him the picture of me in the mud (bottom row, 4 in....completely embarrassing btw!). But, he's excited to meet me. Time shall tell...

    No reason to wait. All that does is shows a lack of interest and gives some other woman a chance to meet him first. If you hesitate, you *kitten*.

    I may not agree with Dave's entire post :tongue: :laugh: but I agree with this part
