Kat - you were spot on regarding why Marianne dumped me awhile back. We are now in the friend zone, but it is all good.
As for Barbara - I'm trying to figure that one out. My gut tells me that perhaps that train has left the station, however when I think about how our dates and communication have gone I think otherwise.
The good:
1. We have had really nice dates, with lively conversation and affection.
2. We are in regular contact with each other, although I tend to be the instigator of most of it, but not entirely all. She sent me a very nice email on my birthday.
The bad:
1. The last time we went out was almost 2 weeks ago and we currently do not have another date set up. Admittedly the woman has been very, very busy these past two weeks and she is in Chicago this week. So while she is out there I plan to ask her what her schedule looks like up her return and when she would like to go out next.
2. Yesterday she posted a new profile picture (absolutely gorgeous picture of her I might add) on her Match account - this in my mind is really not good as it sends a signal that she is still "looking"!
However, it doesn't cost me anything to sit back and be patient. I mean I really like the woman AND she hasn't told me that she is no longer interested in me.
GG - So sorry about the guy you seemed to hit it off so well with being broke - but I agree with you and Barb on this, best to stay away from that and it is good he was upfront with you early on.
