Hey AJM ... so sorry to hear about your loss and that the remainder of the family is away. That makes it hard.

Now see, Tad is making progress! Being Lonely motivated me to keep moving forward, but to move forward in a very educated manner.

I don't advise hump and dumps right out of the divorce shoot.

Im just saying!!

Thanks AJ and Kimmerz.

AJ, nice to see you haven't given up on me yet. smile

Not sure what you really mean or I'm just not sure how to answer...

How is the job going, Tad? Seems like you really like it. Is that the case?


Yes, I do like it. There is already talk of moving me up. It's just talk right now, but we'll see. Also, the perks at this place are unbelievable.

Things aren't what I'd like them to be financially yet, but things are better than they were.

Personally? I'm starting to get lonely and want someone to share things with. I'm sort of getting googley-eyed over a girl I work with...

I'm really sorry about your dad.

Kimmerz...................

I will see the "lovely little gal" tomorrow (Sunday) night when I get to work. It's funny, I look forward to seeing her at work more than I look forward to my weekends.

Me too, but there's the work thing.....

So Kimmerz, maybe you can shed some light since you are a member of the female club: What do the mixed signals mean???? I mean, I'm almost certain that she likes me and enjoys spending time with me, I mean, it's obvious, but won't date anybody she works with.

A guy that I work with told me that he can tell she likes talking to me and talks to me more than the others. He says that she'll only talk about work stuff with the other guys we work with.

What gives?

I'm more confused than a baby in a topless bar.

Morning Tad,

LOL that's too funny, confused as a baby in a topless bar!

Honestly Tad, I really don't know what those mixed signals mean!! Im a little stumped myself too! My first instinct would be that maybe she's playing hard to get... but then again I may be wrong! Maybe she just said something she really didn't mean because she's googlie eyed over you too... you know the silliest things can still come out of your mouth even when you're an adult and seriously twitterpated!

Yep, you're really crushing on this girl I can tell! I really think you should ask her to go do something fun together. Something you both enjoy, then that way it may not seem like a huge official "date" to her????

Or you could just be bold and tell her right out " I know you said you don't want to date co workers, but I really wish you'd change your mind on that! Because I really like you and I'd like to spend more time getting to know you better."

That will make her think twice.... oh ya it will. If she clams up after a statement like that and how she's acting now, I truly will be stumped.

Good luck!!

Thx Kimmerz.

Yes, I'm crushing on her pretty bad. I may still ask her to go do something fun, but I may wait a few weeks. Don't want to seem desperate, too pushy or scare her away....

Yeah. I just don't know. Why do girls do that????

I'm still a little curious as to why she acts the way she does and then says she doesn't date coworkers....Like I said, I'm pretty sure she likes me.

Tad, I have no idea why girls do that. Perhaps to have a sense of control? Perhaps the dangling the carrot on the end of a stick theory?

I never did play hard to get. Either I was interested or I wasn't. So I guess Im not the girls to ask! Im sorry!

Ok. Thanks Kimmerz.

Saw her again tonight. Of course she came over to my work station and hung out for a while. She enjoys talking to me.

It's weird though. I've got a crush on her, she doesn't date coworkers, but she is the one that seeks ME out....like a magnet.

Maybe I'm just a good talker??? Don't know.

Tomorrow should be fun....we share the same work station.

Bwahahaha!

Tad does she talk about other guys with u? Does she get advice from you? Anything like that? Please be careful and try not to get to close until u figure out if she is in the "friend zone". She may be attracted to u OR she may just like hanging with u as a friend. Regardless if she gets to really liking u, she will break her own rule. So kinda just sit back and let her come to u, don't act as interested and she if she comes closer.

Good question. Actually, we've talked about EVERYTHING EXCEPT guys:

Movies
Things we did over our weekends
Books
Good places to eat
Rollercoasters
Our job
Her aunt's illness
A bad motorcycle accident that her ex-boyfriend in college had
My sitch
A charity event that she was involved in
Music
Our grandmothers
Concerts
Astronomy
New York city (where she's from)
Why she's not married (hasn't found mr. perfect)
TV shows
Kids (has no desire to have any but if it happens, it happens)
My rats
Her career (She's a brain and has degrees in math,science,meteorology)
My radio career
Her mom and dad
Jewelry (She buys a lot of it)
The Beatles (She's a Beatles freak, but too young to remember them....she's kind of a throwback)
Our upcoming weekend plans
Places we'd like to visit
My son's band
Chocolate

...and the list goes on.

Like I said, no mention of guys, but we've talked about EVERYTHING else. She IS single though because I asked her friend who we work with about it. As I mentioned before, she is usually the one who seeks me out to talk to me.

As for advice, she hasn't asked me for any.

She looked very pretty tonight. (Just sayin')

Haha. That's what I'm hoping for.

Yeah. That's the plan. Just going to be myself like I have been and see what happens.

This is all just so weird for me. I haven't been "in the game" since I was 17.

You women sure are fascinating creatures. smile

Fascinating creatures lol as well are u men lol,
Well friendship is always good, just go slow as u said.
Yeah dating again is def something I never planned at this age as well.
Tad u are stilll healing and it's so easy when ur lonely to fall for someone. That is why I say please be careful, no expectations. I dated way too early because I was lonely and fell for someone I normally wouldn't have chosen. It didn't end well and I went thru hurt again. I learned my lesson the hard way. I wasn't ready to date.
Today I am enjoying life and the next guy will be different, he won't be someone to just fill a void. I won't settle again.
I have learned, still learning, to be happy alone, a partner will now be a added bonus. Do I have bad days, sure, but those are getting better and I have learned coping skills. I am in a much much better place though.
Tad I want u to get there. You need to get there actually before u go looking for mrs. Right. Have fun but please take care of Tad right now.

Hugs
