Glad things are going good Joe

ha....no the deli girl is not married. The last girl I met is...... but I went over the ladder theory again. I think that helped get her out of my system edit....I never would have gone after this girl in the first place if I had known she was married .....that's not my style

I can't go after the deli girls mom....if I had never met her daughter I would think about it

Married girls are big disaster waiting to happen, its never worth it.

[cdrhead]

Yeah ....I feel sort of like a fool for getting into that one. Neither one of us did anything wrong and I know I shouldn't feel that way....I just really like this girl.

[unbroken_chain]

fuck it.

going on an OK Cupid date.

these things always sound so great in the email exchanges. Trying not to get hopes up. Last girl seemed awesome, we hit it off super good at dinner... then she said she thought we make good friends.

I'm like yea. sure. WITH BENEFITS ~~~

You see I don't get that. If you get along with someone so well and hit it off being friends is all part of dating. Its all part of the process of being with someone.

LOL what good is a new friend if they Dont come with benefits.

[unbroken_chain]

LOL what good is a new friend if they come with benefits.

Please rephrase the question.

going out with my astrological nemesis, the Sagittarius, tonight.

last Sag encounter was a very enjoyable five year run.... and true to the predictions of those funky websites.

[Geminimoon]

Lol forgot to add the don't.

I married a sag, divorced him. Dated a few and left them when I couldn't get over themselves.

Had a good time with a Leo for a few years before playing musical signs and staying with my Capricorn.

Good luck with your date.

[unbroken_chain]

Date went well, was an early date with a planned early end - as my daughter is up for the weekend and I won't leave her for more than an hour or two (to spend a bit of time with big sis).

But - yah... Sagittarius like you read about.... (as am, I Pisces)

nice dinner at cool place (Victoria Station on the Wharf in Salem, ma) hot make out session in the lot before parting.

plans to hook up again soon under way.

[Geminimoon]

hot make out session in the lot before parting.

I love making out.... The rush and anticipation and desire all swirling around you!!!

[quote name='PixieKelly']Can't force anything. Happy Birthday Joe, I hope you find love this year and I wish you the best of luck... if she hasn't responded by now it is probably best to move on. You are an amazing person and you deserve to be with another amazing person....[/quote]

Cosigned...If a woman is interested in you, you will know it...And vice versa...I'm trying really hard to grasp that concept...Nobody wants to chase a dangling carrot, you know? (No pun intended, initially, but wow, that's kind of funny LMAO)

[quote name='Jersey Thug']all of your friends are breathing a deep sigh of relief and thanking you for that, i'm sure. we all have that friend who married someone outside the group who doesn't 'get it' and it makes things weird and the friendships suffer and even when you DO get together you have to listen to that friend express regret over their choices even though they made them freely at the time so it's really hard to sympathize once they're married with kids and whatnot and you hardly recognize them at all anymore, they've changed so much to fit into whatever mold their partner wanted them to fit into...and it isn't even fun to spend time with them anymore because they're so worried about what's happening at home, or venting about how unsatisfied they are with their life and you just want to say SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!!!

*deep breath*



yeah. don't ever be that guy. don't settle, just because you think you should be coupled up. find someone who loves you for you.[/quote]

So glad I'm not that girl anymore
Soon enough I won't be bitching about how much of a nightmare divorce is, either...Promise

Gives me something to look forward to when I'm in my 40's???????

So I can officially (for now) say I have a girlfriend. It's been about 2 months of good times and bonding between me and Pam. We've definitely connected enough to give US a try and see where it goes. On that note I posted a few pics of me and my girl on the Family Photo Album: Happy Couples Page.

I known I"m ridiculous but were so damn mushy with each other. She puts such a big smile on my face.

[vinandtonic]

Thanks. Things are still going strong for me. I can say I found myself a good one or more she found me. I'm happy to hear your journey with online dating wound up to this point of marriage. It's really a great thing that you were able to find someone so good for you. And I wish you the best with that and your future together. Congrats

That's great I'm happy for you

The funny thing about dating online is, it's like a full time job. You have to work at it and stick to it till you find someone that works. I really was at my ends with it when I met Pam. And at that moment she messaged me, we went on a date that very same day, and the rest has been great. Besides match or eharmony there are other sites like green singles, plenty of fish, etc. that you may find that certain person. You might have to look on more specialty dating sites like ones catered to people who enjoy the out doors for instance. Also where you live determines the selection you may get. I noticed living in the DC area I had a lot more choices then say living in Asheville, NC. In all it's a gamble but eventually you dice will roll right.

Another possible outlet to meet someone that you may want to try is joining a Meetup Group of your own interest. I find meeting people who also enjoy what I like to do opened up a door to new friends and fun experiences. As for a friend of mine he met a girl that way.

So open your doors to other outlets. You never know what your going to find.

[kramer]

there's a new website out there for jamband fans!

http://gatheringofth...ead.php?t=60107

[cdrhead]

Well it's nice to see that it actually works for some people.... it really does take up a lot of time. I have been so busy at work, I don't want to do much when I have some free time.

I know I could put half the energy into getting out there ( in real life,instead of online) and prolly have lots of fun. Guess I'm just lazy ...or just not that worried about it

[Geminimoon]

You do have to **** through a lot bs on most sights but that is par with the course.

But when you do find the right person it makes it all worth it

Like others have said, they seem to be mostly dudes on the dating sites. So, as a lady, I'd say go for it!

PS I'm available if you'd like to meet at vibes...can send pics

LOL just realized this was posted in '09...oh well

The thread started in '09 and is still going.

[unbroken_chain]

Yep... I would say that was enough drinks!

[Joe]

Soooooo unfortunately I have to be a part of this thread again. Back to the single dating pool of crap. I'm going to take break from all of it till I'm mentally right again for someone. It's just not fair to whom ever I may potentially find if I don't. SUCKS

[vinandtonic]

sorry to hear that Joe

[Sneaker_Pumpernickel]

Met my Wife through internet dating, they work, good luck all

[TEO]

Bummer Joe, good plan on getting yourself together before diving back in.

[cdrhead]

Sorry to hear that Joe

[Joe]

Thanks everyone, I'm pretty much bumming right now. It was a hard 24hrs for me Monday relationship ended, Tuesday dealing with earth quake crap job wise, and then my uncle passing away from a heart attach. It was one thing after another and all with in 24hrs.

[TEO]

Ouch, Love & Light Joe

Excellent self advice. I stayed "single" for a year after being divorced... then went all in on rebound relationship *which was a total blast for the first few months... then it started to sink in: she was NEVER going to get a job

anyway, sorry to hear things did not continue to work out, sounds like it was good while it was good.

[Joe]

anyway, sorry to hear things did not continue to work out, sounds like it was good while it was good.

It was great till July when for no reason that I know of she started pushing herself away from me. Unfortunately even during our breakup conversation she couldn't give me an answer. Personally my thought was she needs to work on getting her priorities together and learn to balance things. Some how I sank down to the bottom of her list. The worst part is I was really good to her, always supportive, made her feel special, never yelled in arguments, did my best to be apart of her life, and take interest in what was important to her. When it came down to reciprocating in the last 2 months, it was very lopsided.

[unbroken_chain]

" women "

[TEO]

Joe, take it from someone who has done a fair amount of pushing away, she probably isn't ready internally for that level of love and committment.

I am sure you are right. Hey it's her loss. If she can't handle being with a good person that treats her right, oh well. I'm sure I will find someone out there that will.
