    Polar Opposites – update

    In a post titled “Polar Opposites” I wrote about a guy I had started seeing; this post is the end of the opposites attract. Things were great for the first couple months and even though we were polar opposites we got along well. We had really good conversations and great chemistry. Not sure what happened but I started seeing infrequently and the communication waned. I really liked him, enjoyed being with him but realized this wasn’t working for me. It’s taking me time to figure out what I want; everyone I meet teaches me something. It took a lot to tell him it wasn’t working but its a step towards…

    Ghosting

    Why do guys ghost??? I recently moved to a new state and decided to try the dating apps. There has to be better guys in a new state, or so I thought. I met a guy on-line, we talked, texted and seemed to hit it off. I won tickets to an NBA game and took this guy on a date to the game. He didn’t look exactly like his profile pictures, but he was super nice, and we had fun at the game. The next two weeks were filled with texts every day about how much he wanted to see me again and blah blah blah. And then poof! he…

    The Bartender

    When I met the Bartender, he was in the process of selling his house moving out of state. I chose to ignore the fact that was moving to another state (within driving distance). I also ignored his foot fetish which was a first for me. Whenever I got a pedicure, I texted him a picture of my toes because I knew he loved it. When we were together, he loved touching my feet and yes, occasionally sucking on them (the things you do for love, right?) We had fun dates and romantic nights so I ignored all the red flags. He moved to Wisconsin and he told me our journey…

    What the heck happened?

    This past April a friend and I headed to my favorite beach for some sun. At the time of the trip I was still on a dating app which picks up your location. I came across the profile of a nice looking local guy and swiped right. He messaged me and we quickly started texting and talking. He was intelligent, funny, and very nice. We decided to meet while I was in town and he took me and my friend to the beach and to lunch. On paper he was good, in person he was great; very easy to talk to, witty, polite, successful and single! Both my friend and…

    Ghosting

    What is the deal with ghosting? You are talking one day and then poof! they disappear. Wont answer a text or a phone call. I saw a TikTok video where a guy said ghosting was a “casual exit” I beg to differ. Ghosting is cowardly, immature and incredibly rude. I think it’s sad it is so prevalent in todays’ dating world. I’ve been ghosted more than once and it’s confusing, depressing and hurtful. I’ll have a few stories to post in this category that have made me shake my head and wonder what’s wrong with me? Is it really me or is it them??
