On the dating front:

I am guarded and careful to be sure.

I've decided that although I'm quite taken by this one, I'll be sending her an invite for dinner this weekend and if I get nothing, then I'm moving on w/out looking back.

Her loss, not mine.

It has taken a bit to get back into the hang of how to communicate and date again, but the bottom line is to be confident b/c confidence is attractive and appealing. Thus, I'll be attacking it from the angle of "I really don't care" and mean it.

See, the past few weeks have allowed me to do a lot of thinking and talking w/others about dating and the bottom line is being "needy" isn't attractive at all. Makes sense, so now I'll put it into use.

The bad part is being alone has made it easier for me to feel lonely which comes across in the wrong way on dates. So, lessons learned and now it is time to enjoy this period of my life w/confidence and w/little consideration to whether or not I'm liked.

I'm a wonderful catch, so it really would be their loss. Oh, well. Some lucky gal will get a piece of me.

On the other front, XW called tonight after I had hung up w/D asking if I had a DVD of D's at my place b/c she couldn't find it. Well, roughly 1 minute into the call, XW found the DVD, so the "crisis" was averted.

Now, she was very nice about it and wasn't a b*tch at all, but I just have to shake my head and smirk at her finding an excuse to get me on the phone. I answered it b/c I thought D was calling back. She knew I'd answer which is why she called.

I guess standing up to her last week was better for me than I thought.

Who cares? It is just interesting, that's all.
