I am, it's ok. I just need something more than she is giving. If she was really interested and playing some game or whatever she will reach out. On a side note.....I have not been able to get out of bed in the morning this week to hit the gym. Maybe it is daylight savings time approaching or I am still recovering from my weekend but man I have not been able to get my body moving. I will try again tomorrow...............

J,

I think you are doing the right thing. Like coach teaches women want to naturally bond and connect. I had a date on Saturday with a girl I had been talking to for a month. Due to logistics and her having a broken foot it took us that long to meet. We would text like twice a week. Well since our date she now texts me probably 5 times a day. If she was really interested in you she would reach out.

I just matched again with a girl on bumble who is beautiful but never would ask me any questions. I am going to give it another shot but if I get the same treatment she goes bye bye.

My ex is acting weird, I will post more if I think there is anything to it.

Nice L.....good for you. After what we have went through it is nice to have members of the opposite sex having interest. I matched with a 48 yr old on Bumble last night as well so we shall see if she reaches out to me within the window. I have had many conversations start and then end....maybe it was something I said or their interests changed but for me I am who I am and it wasn't supposed to work out for whatever reason.

I do feel it is a matter of time, just staying patient.

My X runs hot and cold.....she texted me this am and asked if our oldest had problems with her Halloween costume and then commented on how cute she is. Her BF has still not showed his face around any of our kid events so I really don't know the dynamics of their relationship. My kids also never mention him either and I don't inquire. She has done a really good job of respecting my boundaries of not wanting to know anything about him unless it involves our kids and she also has stepped up with the child support money and uses it to relieve additional financial burden on my part to the extent she can.

I wonder if this is a defense mechanism or something related. My daughter mentioned XW's OM once, just after XW introduced OM to D and as they went to a "fancy place", I asked whether D had friends with her. She told me that they were with mum, S and a guy whose name she can't remember. After that I haven't heard a single comment about OM. D always actively lefts him out of the picture. Like now when they are moving, D just said "me, mom and S are moving". I have hard time believing she would be "protecting" me so I'm a bit worried that she's actively "removing" a part of her life. Hopefully it's nothing.

Well I hope not.....I know the are old enough to figure out that mommy has a BF and I can’t imagine my X would tell them to not talk about him around daddy so idk. I guess it really doesn’t matter because at some point someone is going to show their face. My guess is that they are not ready to take it to that level yet. My x is pretty selfish so I would be shocked if it had anything to do with me.

You kill me sometimes, J! You wanted to know nothing about OM, and here are speculating and everything is complete speculation! You ex doesn't mention him, your kids don't mention him, you can just go on and pay him no mind.

I'm so cruel.......

Sometimes people don't see it from the inside. So here I come shooting bullets to save you some grief, J! You got what you want, just ride with it!

LH, honest question out of pure curiosity and no judgement. If this woman on Bumble who never asks questions wasn't beautiful, would you be giving her one more chance?

Honestly no. We both know that beauty gets special privileges on both sides.
