I tried, I changed, but still am getting divorced!

Yippee! I am glad you are finding some perks.

I am waiting for an EVO. They are sold out but I got on many waiting lists yesterday. Lots of flirting with the sales guys :P

Those two tax deductions help so much! When tax time comes, you should get a large deduction which will help a lot.

Cool about tax deductions.

Also, glad to hear about swim diapers sucking. I almost bought some... will hold off!

Well, they are better than nothing or regular diapers in the water, and they do keep the grosser stuff out of the pool.

Did ya ever notice the kiddie pools are warmer? And you thought it was considerate pool managers! lol

OK please give me your opinion:

I last asked Rugby YESTERDAY at 10:30 a.m. via text if we were still on for Thursday. I have heard nothing since. Right before that question, we were texting a little, back and forth. I already explained.

I am thinking he is being weird or playing games or is peeved...I don't know but my gut doesn't like it! And I am not that into him anyway! So should I

1)just not reply and make other plans (I want to see a movie on Thurs)

2)text him to say "I am not interested in going out with you again. Take care."

3)text him to inquire

I will say that if I don't hear anything today then OF COURSE I will make other plans! But should I inquire? Should I just text to cancel the date?

Looking forward to not dating....

Contacting him for any reason would look like pursuing. How about forgetting about him? If he contacts you today or tomorrow, tell him you didn't hear from him and so made other plans. If he asks for another time, say no thanks, we are not a good fit. If you hear from him after tomorrow, totally ignore him.

I tried to warn her about jumping back into dating before she had done the work to put the M really behind her.

Dating is a battle zone, and there are so many folks who go to work, pay their taxes, and who are otherwise good citizens, but... who have either too much baggage or character issues....

Not being 'ready' yet puts her at least in the 'too much baggage' category, and I dare say a bit too needy to make the best judgements.

I think I had better not comment on this thread anymore.

Umm....what happened to me? Do I seem damaged or brokenhearted after going out with 3 different men, a total of 5 dates altogether? Nope! I knew exactly what I was going to do and I did it!

DATING SHOULD BE FUN!!! NOT A BATTLE ZONE! LMAO!!!!!!!!

Haha! There is NO such thing as someone without baggage or character issues! NO SUCH THING!

I AM NOT needy, you silly goose! I was dating for entertainment, accidentally actually, and I DO NOT NEED a boyfriend or to date!!! My judgments are right on!!!

I think I had better not comment on this thread anymore.

Thank you. Best of luck to you and your life.

WN, Thank you for your input. I think it makes perfect sense for the situation! And the thing is that I am actually relieved to not be going out with this one. I think the fact that he came on SO STRONG made me uncomfortable! Hey, I will go about my life and if someone comes along, I may go out with him. Otherwise, I will wait until spring before going on the hunt!

[WhatNow]

I will go about my life and if someone comes along, I may go out with him.

Love the plan! Letting life happen! You might be surprised!
