I'm only superstitious when it comes to dating...I had so many bad ones (or ones that didn't work out, when everything looked good) in the past and when someone calls me up and says they will be here in 2 hours to pick me up, I get really nervous and throw up (I'm not kidding you!!). I always think, "this isn't going to be good either!"...But I go anyway.
I never talk to him anymore (just don't answer him back, disappear in thin air) and I just go for a great workout (I'm up to 2 hours a day now, since my last breakup last month)...I have a better life now.
And just single for almost 1 month now, from a man who I thought really liked me, but his attitude changed when he got back from Michigan, last month....I knew he was a liar. I was faithful, truthful, and with no one when he left for a month. He said I was lying. I wasn't... His lose...I got a better life anyway, now...
I really, honestly, don't particularly like it...But I've been (off and on, a billion times) on dating sites since Dec. 2004.
I've met some who were nothing like they said on their profiles. I've met some who seemed sincere, but backstabbed me at the end. I've met some who didn't know how to make conversation and were boring as hell. I've met some who were just wasn't my type after all, when I first saw them.
But I sure hate going to bars all the time to meet someone or going out of my home too much just to meet someone. It's lousy either way you look at it...
Oh, I'm sorry. Sounded like a really great date!! (I haven't been on a 9 hour date in about 2-3 years now!!) Wow! how sweet. What a dreeb for dropping you for someone else...!!
I know what you mean. Sometimes I wished I stayed in the marriage, but I really would never get to go out much with him (he hated bars and late nights on weekends). But I'm free and happy. I'll find that man one day. If not in Arizona, maybe back home in Texas (I miss those Texas boys, I tell ya!!).
The best/interesting date I had was right after my divorce was finalized in 2002. I went to a bar, down the street from where I used to live in Tempe, and there was a great band playing. The bass player really, really liked me a lot. And he came over the minute they took their first 10 minute break and invited me over to their table. I got to stay til after closing and we got to talking a lot.
We went out the next following day and had a great time together. It wasn't but 2-3 days later I had moved in with him. I lived with him for 9 months (well, it does take time to really know someone). He did have problems with drinking ( he dranked everyday), so I moved out.
To this day, that WAS the best/interesting date ever, in my life...I miss him, but I hope he's okay. Never saw him again. Don't know what happened to him...Good luck to him, though.
I was born and raised in Beaumont, Texas (20 miles west of the Louisiana border). My father was Irish-Cherokee Indian (he was a Civil Engineer, in Houston) and my mother is Argentinian-Italian (she's a retired R.N.; nurse).
My childhood was good. I grew up in Lake Livingston, Texas and we had a pontoon boat, dock, and went swimming/fishing all the time. I ran track, cross-country, and was on the tennis team in high school. I graduated in 1995.
I went into the Army after high school and spent 6 years (I re-enlisted in 1998 when I was in Korea). It was interesting. I met my ex-husband in 1995, when I came home from AIT training. I was married for 7-8 years. It was a good marriage, but I had changed when I got back from Korea in 1999. I saw more things and became a lot more outgoing (I started going out a lot and found to have fun). He didn't like it much. So when I got out and we moved to Arizona, I filed for divorce. It was a great divorce. We had our last lunch together and played pool and had a few beers. It was a great parting. We still keep in contact. We're good friends.
My father died in Apr. 1, 2003. I have half-brothers and a half-sister from his previous marriage. My mother has 2 sons from her first marriage too. I'm real close to them.
I don't agree... I think the reason for divorce is not a lot in common with each other (don't have the same interests or lost interests in certain things together) . That's why I divorced my ex.
I was not way popular. I was more in the middle of the totem pole. But I was on the track team, cross-country team, and tennis team.
But I was a rebel on my off-time. My boyfriend and I would cruise around all night on Friday nights and Saturday nights. I never went to any of our football games or participated in anything like that, on weekends. I didn't want to be around school people on weekends.
I have too, 3 separate times, but I didn't meet any of them on dating websites. This was before I ever been on a dating site. And one I had actually was married to, for 7-8 years.
Yeah, I would. As long as they were sincere about wanting me in their life and they live good, have a good place to live, and have some of the same interests as I do. Yeah definitely I would.
I think you have to LIKE someone first, before you can love them or be in love with them. First it takes caring, sharing, and knowing each other well (our likes, dislikes, personalities, etc.) before you can actually love each other.
Right now, I don't worry so much anymore. Especially for the New Year coming, one of my goals is too not date so much and just go with the flow, have a good time (even by myself), and the hell with it. Right?! I think so! A new attitude (like the Patty LaBelle song "I Got A New Attitude"). ("Good Girl Is Going To Go Bad" -Tammy Wynette).
I'm going to love me more. And not worry so much of other people. The hell with them!!
