I’m so excited that you are enjoying your dates with this new guy! I hope you continue to have fun…even if it doesn’t go anywhere long term. I think as long as you are having fun and doing it, good things will come!
I’m bummed that you didn’t the job. I’m sure you started to imagine yourself doing it (as you mentioned in many ways you already do some of it), and that is so hard to let go of when something like that when it doesn’t work out. At least it is for me. Of course you are in the dumps. You have every right to feel disappointed. I am glad you tried, and gave it a shot. I agree with others, that sometimes these things happen for a reason. Not always, but if you don’t let it discourage you, maybe the door will open to something better. As for not doing so much of the things you used to do and passing them to the new manager…I get that. Totally. Have you thought about asking for a raise? Maybe if you are doing more than is required for your role? Anyway, just a thought.
Looking forward to hearing about date 3!
