BA, I agree with Barb - sounds like Barbara is invested, so go for it!

Uh, no, he isn't. Too bad we can't fix him up with Fran.
He initially texted me Wednesday night. I waited a full 24 hours to respond, and it was only to answer his question (Hi, how are you?) I made sure I worded it in a manner that didn't inquire and just wished him well. I was at the HS volleyball match when a flurry of texts came in. He asked me to go to the movies, then begged me, and I answered, "I'm at a volleyball match and can't talk." He then followed with more questions (Are you watching D19? Are you out of state? Talk to me!) I ignored. Then he sent the last one, "Are you dating someone?" Again, I didn't answer any of those.
He again initiated on Sunday and I chose not to respond at all. So last night he texted me again, and said, "I really wish you'd go to the movies with me. Can you please answer?"
UGH UGH UGH! Right after I got that, my BFF called. I told her about the predicament and she gave me some good advice. She thinks that maybe putting him off and being mean somehow, in his warped mind, means this is a challenge. (That actually makes me feel ill.) So much later I texted back, "I've been busy with my second job, and I really don't think any of this communication is a good idea. Thanks for thinking of me." And he replied back, "ok"
I truly hope this is it. The next time I'll just come out and tell him to stop contacting me - period. And since I have cop friends, I'm not afraid to use them. Even if I have to tell them that they need to pretend they are not gay and come pose as my hot BF.
No wonder I've benched myself in favor of getting in shape physically and preparing for the holidays?
My social calendar is lined up this weekend with D16's former behavior therapist on Friday, and possibly Saturday night too. Sunday night I'm going out to dinner with my former boss - alone, since it's fall break next week and D16 is going camping with her dad and won't be back until Tuesday night (he leaves for DC early Wed am, otherwise, he'd have her longer).
I'm pretty happy with that. Barb, I'm also happy to report that I'm still involved with my FitBit. I carry my iPad mini around with me to update it during the day (you can do it on a cell phone too). It's really helping me stay focused and committed, although I haven't lost any weight in 2 weeks. I can see the reports which are positive, and it really does frustrate me. I'm really working on getting decent sleep (it helps here too). I think the hormones are coming into play here, but I'll stay the course. My diet has been pretty darned good, so...
That's it for me.
GG, I sure hope you're having fun with Mr. EMT. I'll text you sometime this week to get the offline update. I'm watching D19's volleyball match tonight via streaming, so it won't be tonight.
Wii, miss you here too!
