WTF! No, I am not dating anyone. Yeah, when I dropped the kids off tonight I was dressed up and I acted like I was in a hurry. I kind of have that style a lot when I drop off the kids. Its almost standard operating procedure for me, if I stick around and chit chat to much, it just gets me down afterword’s. I was taught it’s a good idea to dress nice and be the first to end the conversation. See, I think I am learning.

Is the text worth a response? It sounds like she’s trying to drag me into a relationship talk? Respond or ignore? Any guidance?


I struggled with this question. I answered it very vaguely, but got hit pretty hard by the vets that were following my sitch. My way got my W p!ssed at me. But I also think that it got her thinking.

However, I suppose that my advice would still be to just be honest. "No. I am not dating anyone right now.".
