Seems kind of rude. Are you sure that’s the option you would take?

galrads: I don’t know but I doubt it. She txt msgs me, asks a question, i’ll text back with a reply, then she’ll text me again with some kind of shirt comment 18 to 24 hours later closing with ‘ “take care, love you, (name withheld)”
laugh She’s playing with you

My niece thinks she’s a poser. We did see each other in the swimming pool last night and said hello and mentioned she left something on my windshield. Then she turned her back on me and waded away. wave

galrads: Your opinion is valued. Don’t see you around the forums much. Hope all is well your way. thanks.
Hey there--I appreciate your comment. (I'm slowing down a bit on just about everything now--and sometimes if I feel I get a less than friendly comment(s), I sorta shut down. Thanks again--handshake

I don't know exactly how this fits into the OP--confused I guess a very simple and direct response to how you may feel would be simply to by-pass this thread. I mean, it's only as big as YOU make it--I read your comments from time to time and it usually appears that you are thoughtful, grounded, and tactfully forthright. Lately it seems that something is bugging you that probably has nothing to do with Connecting Singles. We all have challenges and "forks in the road", so to speak. Some of us are a little worried about you. Are you well?teddybear

hiya galrads wave

if I were speaking with you, I would say this in a kind and caring way.
between the lines, it sounds to me like you want to see her.
so ask yourself....why?
and then be honest with yourself.

are you hoping to get back together?
is this a possibility?
if not, accept the friend zone or be prepared for more heartbreak.

this ain’t high school, and we are all capable of not attending an event we are not working at, or going to an event without speaking to an ex, or .....the tough one... acceptance and letting go.

remind yourself, no matter your choice...you are always exactly where you are supposed to be.

When you say some are worried about me you mean some are gossiping about me..Why aren't I surprised and hey if I'm concerned about people on here I mai them

I was joking..No offense but I'm not going to be careful with my sense of humor..Have never been the type to try and fit in with the majority of how they believe I should should think.

Thanks for being concerned wave

Forgot to add that I run into my ex often..When he whinges about he's ailments I tell him straight about he's obesity and anything else that he whinges about I give him a piece of my mind so it's not like I'm on a site running an ex down that hasn't been said to he's face.

That's my two cents worth.

Years ago one of my exes showed up at my door (for legal paperwork reasons) and I screamed "Ahhhhhhh!" and almost punched her. Both were just reflex actions.
We were to meet later at a local public area and she decided to drop by instead.
Scared the ever livin' crap outta me.

Believe me I would not say a word as done just that. You don't have to say anything as there is no obligation here. I had to be around mine at a function and it was harder for him to be around me than vise versa. I have moved on and obvious he has some baggage to worth through like the truth.
