My H is a proud Leo. Leo's don't do competition. They just leave.
I have gone through periods over the past three years of trying to date. I was never interested in anyone. But my H certainly noticed. The extra attention never lasted and never translated to anything really substantial from him.
More packing and sorting today. Found a little lakeside cottage under gorgeous Spanish moss strung oaks my parents are going to go look at for me down in Florida. Looks adorable online. Very affordable, but small. Hoping to get lots of pictures from my parents. It's actually TWO little cottages sold as one property. So I'd be able to rent one out. That would be fantastic and could really make my financial picture much more tolerable and stable. Real estate is so cheap down there, my parents have kept some money set aside for a down payment for me for a long time, and it's enough to put a good chunk down on this place. This place is even cheap enough that if I liked it, my dad would even be totally comfortable co-signing the loan if I needed since it'd be for an amount he could pay off in cash, easy. The ad describes it as move in ready but it'd be so cheap I could afford to make some improvements on it and have lots of very handy friends - including a union carpenter, a roofer, and a former general contractor - and family members down there who could help. We shall see. It's perfect for a little funky chic like me. I actually feel really happy about the idea of moving to Florida. I can finally get a dog! and maybe even a couple chickens!
H is going to have to be super freaking crazy generous with his offer if I'm going to pass this up.
