Another day in the life of

[LH19]

Don’t want to be an I told you so (although I do enjoy it from time to time - ha!) but I’ve been beating the drum about this for years now.

I disagree. You enjoy it 100% of the time.

It’s totally dehumanizing!

Dehumanizing!? WTF? It's called rejection Don and it hurts for a bit and you move on.

Felt way worse than not doing it at all.

I am sorry OLD was that cruel to you.

Sure OLD may introduce you to more people but what quality and at what personal cost?

I find the quality to be very good. The cost is sometimes my ego takes a hit for a few hours/days.

And I’m not throwing stones here as I’m very much adapt at dating above my league.

I think this may be the key. It's tough to date out of your league when OLD because its mainly about the pics.

Changing locations could help with some things but with finding a good guy? What, you’ve dated through all of them in Jersey and NY? Lol. C’mon.

I believe Ginger was being facetious Don.

I clearly don’t have the answer but would have to say the guys you’re picking and the way you are interacting is likely part if the equation - for both of us - given how long we’ve both been single.

Hmmm. Sounds like the definition of insanity.

But it’s also just single people in our age range.

What about these people?

I just had someone reach out to me saying let’s get together - in part after a recent somewhat traumatic personal life event. I responded warmly and told her I’d love to. Saw her in person a week later where she again made sure I call her and we’ll make plans. She was the “aggressor” for lack of a better word both times. So after thanksgiving, as I promised, I reach out to set something up. And… crickets. And I know her IRL. I will see her again eventually.

Why not make a date on the spot Don?

Perhaps there’s an explanation but so far it’s evidently like let’s have lunch, or the checks in the mail, or I won’t a’hem in your… just words? Just what people say - if you need anything, don’t hesitate to let me know. To which you say, you know what I could use is… and oh, um, well let me see, Im pretty busy.

She likely lost interest or found someone else. You snooze you lose.

People just suck Ginger. They just do.

Don that's a very unhealthy outlook on people.

Not everyone but just like finding a partner, finding true friends can be just as hard.

Very true. Just becasue it is hard doesn't mean you give up.

I wish I had the answer. At least for now I’m nearly positive OLD is not it.

Don I agree it is not for you because you have become jaded by it.

One minute it’s, can’t wait for Friday dinner (or let’s get together and meet for drinks or something) and the next they are off onto something or someone else.

You say oh well and move on.

The great ones… are still married.

Well there you go Don. All the good ones are married so you can stop trying.
