stories for the day.long vent...

Hi guys! I am having a crazzy...life..i mean day lol...thanks for thinking of me, sorry i was late to work today so my liw was delayed for the moment.. basically this thread is a combination of me bit*ching and complaining along with some advice lol...

So lets see first of all.... I have started doing this online dating thing..and it is going ok but i need to say men r f'ing nuts, if i get one more email that says "whose ur daddy" im gonna kill someone, please all u online couples tell me it will get better, that i just hafta weed threw the bad emails..pus tey have convo with u online, then u talk to them on the phone and they talk about sex sex sex ugh!!! grrr....

ok second vent...b/c i was late to work i didnt see the bus driver again!! GRRRRR

ok now an opinion q..

i met a guy on the online dating site..we went on one date, had a blast!! since then he has called me 3 times (i dont have his number nor do i want it, im sick of chasing men so im leaving the ball all in his court) and last week he called to say he wnated to c me but his family was visiting for the weekend, we talked last nite and he kinda made a comment how hes got like a million things going this week... auditions,(he does acting on the side), work, a wedding on sunday, a bday party on friday....so hes gonna b busy..im kinda confused b/c we had 1 great date and he does keep calling me, we just havent seen each other again..im just kinda waiting this one out, do u think this is ok, that im just going witht he flow, i have no idea if hes just looking for a booty call or something else..i did not sleep with him just for the record!! LOL

ok now im just kinda venting in this post but i wanted to thank every1 for the warm wishes for my friend and his family. the funeral is friday and i will b attending, so please keep him in ur thoughts:)..now another opinion q...do i give him a condolence card or something at the funeral? i just want him to know i m thiking about him and here for him..

ok i think this is the most confusing post ever! love u guys!! Michi

Re: stories for the day.long vent...

Wow, you really did confuse me!

I would send your friend a condolence card and would give this guy one more try. If he brings up getting together again say "ok, lets set a date" and see what he says from there.

Re: stories for the day.long vent...

Yeah, send a condolance card. As far as going out with the other guy either ask him for a set date when to get together next time he asks. Or let it go and just date the other guys who come around.

Re: stories for the day.long vent...

I usually understand you , but today I'm like "what the heck is she talking about" !!

Kidding!

OK - YES most men are nuts and YES you are going to meet a LOT of weirdos when you do the online dating thing. Its so very hard to weed thru the bad ones to find a few gems in the rough. I think that from the time I met DH until now, online dating has grown SO FAST and gotten so popular, that its really become tough to figure people out and find people who are decent and legit.

That said, you know off the bat when they are just not worth your time.. that's where the delete key will come in handy. Otherwise, try to give it some time and maybe you'll get a few nice dates out of it or will actually meet a guy not only NICE but who you are attracted too

As for the guy you went on one date with ... well I wouldn't be so cool with the fact that he's giving you the old "i'm sooo busy" routine. YES EVERYONE IS BUSY, but really to go on one date and then not see someone for weeks is not a good way to start something! I know that you never know what people are going thru and YES it is strange that he keeps calling.. But really if you don't see him in a few weeks I would probably write him off also I hate being strung along and I don't want to see it happen to you ! In the meantime SEE OTHER PEOPLE if you find anyone you like, he is SO not worth you sitting around waiting for him!

As for your friend who lost his dad, I think its a great idea to give a sympathy card and to write something that if/when he feels like talking about it, you are always there for him to 'just listen'

Now I think I CONFUSED YOU!

Re: stories for the day.long vent...

sorry about the confusion all..i feel like i had so much to say and no way to explain it

Re: stories for the day.long vent...

Well that was just totally classless.

Here have some

Re: stories for the day.long vent...

boosh ur too much..wheres ur hubby btw? dont tell me hes working

Re: stories for the day.long vent...

I have no idea where he is, must be in a meeting or something, I called but he wasnt at his desk.

Re: stories for the day.long vent...

I guess the busy thing could be true, but when I really wanted to date someone, I would always let other things fall behind ( priorities, I know )

I must have missed a previoous post, but I am sorry for your friend's loss.

Yes, send a condoloence card.

Re: stories for the day.long vent...

thank u tourist:)

Re: stories for the day.long vent...

I thin the guy is interested in you, maybe he just really is busy this weekend, give it some more time.

I think you should mail your friend the card. It's better if he receives it while he's at home, but send it out today!

Re: stories for the day.long vent...

It sounds like the guy is interested in you. I would just go with the flw and see how things pan out.
The online dating scene can be very rough...and funny. After I broke up with a long term boyfriend I decided to join Match for a month to sort of try to get somewhat of an ego boost (if that makes sense) because my ex really never made me feel like I was much of a catch or anything essentially..But needless to say I thought some of the emails were just hysterical. I made email folders with various categories and still have them infact.
Well I never really did Match for the date aspect of it because I am really shy but needless to say I really hit it off with 2 guys so I made a date with "fly boy" on Sat night and "computer boy" on Tues...."Fly boy" and I just didn't click dating wise but we are still friends and as far as "computer boy" goes...We are getting married next May!
My advice is have fun and roll with the punches. There really are some good catches out there...you just have to wade through a lot of "Daddys"

Re: stories for the day.long vent...

One of my good friends just met her boyfriend on Match! She only signed up for a month, met him after a week, and they both took down their profiles before the month was up! They are inseparable after 2 months and she says she thinks he is the one...

Re: stories for the day.long vent...

Alright! Another Michi post!



A guy's perspective?

It sounds like he is interested. If a guy is not interested he won't call, much less have an involved conversation.

Now, what I do not know is exactly what his interests are (if you know what I mean). Be careful, take it slow...but have fun! No-one wants our favorite topic starter to get hurt.

Now...on the other hand, if he knows 6 languages and throws 7,000+ guest parties....go for it! (kidding!)
