I wrote many months back about what I thought was the end of the Polar Opposites guy – except it really didn’t end there. After I wrote that story in August 2023 we started up again and I saw him for another 4 months. Our story really ended in January 2024 with him telling me he didn’t see any potential for a future with me. Would have been nice if he hadn’t wasted 8 months of my life to figure that out but that’s what happened. I finally realized that once again I settled. It was never about what I wanted, it was just my old, familiar self lapping up…

You never know where you may meet someone. I was out with friends, doing a little day drinking. While waiting for my friends to come out of a convenient store I watched a very hot guy pull in on his motorcycle. After I watched him change his shirt I was more intrigued. My friends saw me watching him and said “well let’s go talk to him”. As I’m saying I don’t know about that my friend and I walked over said hi and that’s when my friend told motorcycle man I wanted his phone number. Wait, what? He gave me his number, we hung out for the rest of the…

I keep hoping there’s an awesome guy out there who can’t wait to meet me. But how will he find me? Everyone has an opinion on where to or where to not meet someone. You can’t someone in a bar, you won’t meet anyone on-line. You need a hobby – take up hiking or golf. I don’t believe there is one perfect place to meet someone. I’ve met people in bars, on-line, in airports, etc. One of my favorite lines is “prince charming isn’t just going to knock on my door.” I was talking to a couple last weekend and when I asked how they met, the husband said, “I…

I wrote a story about a guy I met while I was waiting for a date. He was the one who said he hoped my date that night went badly so he could date me. Well, he got his wish. We started seeing each other slowly, both of us agreed getting into a relationship was scary as hell. Even though I was nervous, I took a chance because there was something about this guy I liked. Fast forward two months; he was communicating less frequently and was a little distant in text messages. I knew what was coming and sure enough, he called me and said he wasn’t going to…

I’m in a new city where I don’t know anyone. I love my new hometown and wouldn’t go back for anything but sometimes its lonely and dating is tough. I can’t get set up with a friend of a friend, so I have to create opportunities to meet someone. I usually push myself to do something at least once a week, whether that is going out by myself, talking to people at my apartment complex or joining meet up groups. I’m trying to keep the faith I’m going to meet that guy. The one I don’t see coming, the one who sees my worth, amazes me with how nice he…
