I think it's an ebb and flow thing. Today I was dying for male attention, a male companion.. not anything sexual.. just a man I could talk to, see, bump into. I keep telling myself I'm too 'green' right now, that this is the time to heal. Ugh.
One day at a time. Enjoy the moment. Wear sunscreen every day.
When and if it's right you'll realize it after it happens.
Someone intimated that my recent exchanges with STBX have slowed me down on the dating front. I don't think so...but I may be wrong. Sometimes i find the dating process a little repetitive and mundane. Maybe it's the winter duldrums..... who knows. Played poker with the boys last night...had a few beers and a few laughs. Did me some good i think.
Guy time is great! Worst case scenario you can always have a 'bromance'!
That whole dating thing is so weird.. especially with online match ups. You can be 'seen' by a zillion more people in 24 hours than in 12 months of your everyday life. It also works at hyper speed, where you go from just being you to having a date/interaction every night with a few coffees tossed in.
Me.. I think it's good to be slow. Knowing me, I could be too slow. I mean, really, a snail eventually gets where it's going.. right? (Ack..having images of a little GPS in the snail shell giving directions).
Some folks say it's a numbers game.. keep churning until you find what's right, what's better, what's best... a business proposition.
Me? I'm sweet, fun and engage on a social level with laughter. I know I have a booboo to my psyche and proceed cautiously. Heck.. I haven't proceeded in weeks.. but it's the thought that counts!
Thinking of you. It's ok if D8 is the only lady in your life, my kids are my "Valentines" this year, too. Think we will make a heart shaped pizza together tomorrow...
Hang in there. Nothing wrong with taking the dating thing slowly. You have the rest of your life to figure all of that out. D8 will only be a little girl for so long...she is lucky to have a great daddy.
I have not planned anything for valentine's day with D8. I would love to do something to really make her feel like she is my valentine this year!!!! i am open to suggestions from all you great moms!
By the way Gyps...although I find the bromance video funny, I can NOT go there EVER!
We all have booboos, it's what we do to heal those booboos that matter...we need to stop scratching the wound.
I am right with you John - nothing wrong with a little male bonding, but "Guy Love"? I dont think I have a cell of "not that there's anything wrong with that" in my system.
I love you brother....you are even starting to sound like me or me like you! There is a cute (female) asian on that on line dating thing...every time I see her picture I think of you. I have not contacted her yet because I am concentrating on Italian ladies with the occasional exception.
Had a very nice weekend with D8...just getting ready to bring her back to her mom. No dates or anything else on this Valentine's day weekend. I am having supper with my eldest stepdaughter...at her request...apparently she misses me. I am always a little leery about her intentions....maybe she needs a little cash? Just kidding... Should be interesting to say the least.
Here is my horoscope for today from one of Ali's guys;
Something seems to have been going on for too long. Let it go on a little longer. It may just run out of its own steam before you have to get any further involved - or detached. That would be far preferable.
Don't know what it means but what the hey!!! By the way K's hubby is also a Gemini.....
So supper went well. Stepdaughter tried to turn it into a bitching session against her mom. Did listen fro a while but changed the subject on several occasions. She does have alot of pent up anger....Oh well....i told her if she needed to talk she was welcomed to call me anytime.
