    My bf lives about 30 minutes from me but owns a business 30 minutes in the opposite direction. As the owner, he tends to work 7 days a week most of the time. An hour won't be an obstacle if you really want to see each other.

    He is also a single Dad with full custody of 3 kids ages 7-12. Needless to say, this all makes spending much time together a challenge, especially since their mother is out of the picture so he doesn't have the typical every other weekend free. We live for and make the most of every minute we can get together and talk every day. We dated several years ago so I knew what I was getting into when he contacted me a few months ago.

    He frequently makes comments about how nice it would be to be able to be together every night and how he would like to come home from work and relax together. I have ALWAYS said I would never get married again...but I would seriously reconsider that if he asked. Kinda scares me a little...OK...it scares me a lot!

    I don't know how long you guys have been together but have you thought about living together without getting married?

    I guess the lesson learned is, stay away from the crazies - it might be contagious!

    We were together for nearly a year in the past but only 4 months so far this time around. I would jump at the chance to live with him but we are proceeding cautiously at this point. The custody order was just final last week after almost a year of emergency custody. I don't want to rock the boat just as the children are beginning to feel stable again. They do know that their Dad is seeing someone though and he does call and talk while they are around.

    While he would be OK living together for a time, he doesn't feel that it would set a good example for the kids long term. No worries...I would marry him in a heartbeat when the time is right.

    The kids have a school dance on Friday, which is usually our night together :( I know he is doing the best he can right now. I feel so bad when he says "I hate not being with you. Please know I am trying", especially when he sounds absolutely exhausted like he did tonight. We got past one hurdle with the custody settled. As he said, we are one step closer to where we want to be.

    Yeah, it's hard to get the crazy juice off you once it latches on.

    I confess that I'm emotionally needy and part of the reason I'm single is because I refuse to dilute my affections and that usually scares guys off :/

    I confess that I have a crush on my neighbor. I know I will never be able to tell him how I feel though. :(

    I confess that I was crushing on this guy who is in one of my classes, but then he emailed me today with the lamest reason ever for why he didn't get something done for a group project and I totally lost my crush. Either I am too picky, or there wasn't really anything there to begin with hahaha

    I don't want to put in the effort to find someone new right now. So I have one night stands with my ex to fill my needs.

    I am watching Dance Moms...Yeah, I know but it's my guilty pleasure. I can speak from having 18 years experience as a Dance Mom and 3 years as a Dance Grandma...Those women DO NOT represent what we are really like!

    I confess I'm trying to be vegetarian this month.
    I want to reduce the quantity of meat I'm eating every week in the long run.

    I confess I'm obsessively applying to jobs and freaking out about not having something lined up for after graduation.

    I confess that I'm really stupid when it comes to determining when a guy is sincere or just a really good actor.

    Omg yes. Always reservations for 7, 9, 11 (odd man out right here). Not only am I the only single one but they are all married, engaged, or living together. Its not just a bf/gf of a couple months... I'm so happy for them but blahhhhh its annoying for me.

    Favorite quote, "Dani, why don't you bring a date? I have a friend you would love." Yeah, a blind date in front of all my friends and cousins for this random birthday dinner? Sounds like a great, super comfortable situation... not...

    May 11th. Still applying for jobs. It takes so much time to customize my cover letter and resume for each position, while still also functionally going to school and working full time. @____@
