My mother makes folders for each guy. Some are 'active' folders, some are put to the side, labeled 'inactive.' When an active folder man moves into the circular file, she moves an inactive folder man to the active folder pile. She never has more than 4 men on 'active' status.


How does she put or keep a guy in 'inactive' status?

Limit yourself to three dates with each guy, and don't have sex with any of them. If you are interested in a guy beyond date 5... then make your intentions known.


I don't think you got the gist of my question. I'm perfectly capable of making up "rules" for myself. I am asking how I can avoid breaking them. Like, one idea I had was that I won't shave my legs. Sort of a vanity chastity belt.

Cuz I don't live near you for us to go out with each other. \:\) And I hope you know what I mean by that... not 'date' each other... just hang out and do girl stuff, cuz we're both single.


Or we could just go ahead and make that girl-on-girl DVD and auction it off to the highest bidder on the BB. Of course, the sure sign of a broke-weak-*ss lioness is when you do something that signals "no pride" - lol

I think you are too Still Married to be dating seriously, that's for sure. What is up with the D? I personally think that is what you need to concentrate on... CLOSURE. Right now, you are firmly entrenched in LIMBO, and your 2bx is still too 'active' in your psyche for no other reason than you are still legally linked.


My failure to achieve closure with my divorce is closely linked to my current weak lioness financial situation. It all has something to do with repressed anger causing a shortage of whatever positive emotion lies in the lioness quadrant.
