Hello my Darlings!!!!

[oldtimer]

LOLOLOL. Yep, I'd say you made the right choice there, it does not sound like a match. As you get better, those you find interesting and attract will get better too.

Try http://www.lovehappens.com. I know this will sound shallow, but you can screen by IQ (or used to be able to do so). Great place to find a wonderful romantic partner as far as I'm concerned :-) But mind the trolls.

So, what about moving to some artsy place?

[Lissie]

I'm sorry mamma.

bleh.

Yes sweetie, don't settle. I mean he wore sweat pants, that dooes not come till MUCH later.

And, the fact that he said something about the kids, just makes him a jerk.

I am glad you found out now, before more feelings were invested.

You are to gorgoues on the inside and out, to settle.

Remember they have to fluff their feathers and stuff.

Luv ya.

And you can totally move here.

It's artsy.

Time to start looking at one- or two-year artist in residence programs :-) Adventure, excitement, exotic locales, moolah.

You can always lease your house to faculty taking one or two year positions at your nearby university through the housing office.

So, where would you dream of living with the kids for a year or two?

Oh, and back to the dating thing, don't let it get you too down. That is why people have to DATE afterall, because most people aren't going to work out as romantic partners.

Hmmmmm ok nevermind Jersey, unless the guy peeing in the corner is exotic. Then bust a u-ie and get your assets over here.

Much amused by this thread today Althea. Unbelieveable. Which one of those items was the first red flag to tell you no way was this guy for you?

Perhaps you had made mention along the way that you were interested in the artsy-fartsy type and he took you literally!!!


There's something to be said for remaining single!

LOL!!

Brue, you're a gem! I know, believe me, there were so many turn offs right from the start...more than I listed here even...I should have known better.

This is all kind of funny. Sheesh, some guys just have no clue!

Anyway, he was nice (sort of, I guess) but def. not worth spending any more time with. As you say OT--I'm "dating." Gotta kiss a lot of frogs I suppose.

OT, you are so solution oriented and I LOVE it! I love your artist in residence idea--I'm still waiting on one of the big grant applications you turned me onto (they will send me one as soon as they get the guidelines for this year) and if I get it, I'll be able to stay right here.

But, to answer your question, if I could live anywhere--probably the west coast--Seattle, Portland, San Fran. Somewhere with lots of beauty and the ocean.

I don't like being land-locked, and I don't much care for Indiana, but I do love Bloomington, it's a great town and my best friend (who is my true soul mate I think) lives here and it would be awful to leave her.

I am not bummed at all about the failed new guy thing--I just didn't get attached and so it doesn't feel like a loss at all.

AND...I have a date tomorrow with someone I've been chatting with on line for a while (eharmony). 6'5" retired karate champion who loves children. We'll see!

You're so cute!

I need a smart, witty, attractive, funny, romantic man who treats with me some dignity and who thinks I'm the cat's pajamas (and who I feel the same way about). I need to be courted, not just thrown into a marriage-like relationship where he farts in front of me right from the get-go practically.

You just had to throw in the farts in front of me thing.....

Guess I am out........

YAY have fun


I had lunch with a guy the other day that was that tall, my neck hurt looking up. But I'm a shrimp.

You will be just fine.

And he better go and be fluffing his feathers.


Have a great weekend.

smooches
