I’m not usually one to give second chances, because most of the time, someone pisses me off so much I want nothing to do with them. I saw Toe Ring on Bumble again a couple of weeks ago and swiped right for the hell of it. We matched. He said he would like to try... Continue Reading →
And Then I’ve Had Some Good Dates…
I know I’ve only been posting about my dates from hell, but I have actually had some pretty good dates over the years. However, most of those had no chemistry on my part. Obviously, I had three months of great dates AND chemistry with OC, so that bar has been set to only find good... Continue Reading →
Why I Will Never Date a Trump Fan Ever Again
Before anyone gives me their bright unsolicited political opinions, let me just say I’m on neither side of the fence. I’m straight in the middle. But against my own beliefs, I gave some people the benefit of the doubt to get to know in the dating world. What a mistake and a waste of time... Continue Reading →
Random Bad Dates from my 20s
I’ve been trying to throw things away to make room for more, but can’t seem to get rid of things like my old scrapbook of “Crushes, Dates, & Loves”. I should hand this down to my daughter, as I’m sure she could appreciate some of these stories. Some stories I barely remember - or not... Continue Reading →
Viewing the Negative Side of a Relationship In Order to Move On
I have had to force myself to find the negative side of things that I haven’t been able to completely move on from. The negative side of OC, that is. Many things remind me of him, like every time I see a white pickup truck I look to see if it’s him. (Do you realize... Continue Reading →
Losing a Connection Can Be Devastating
Having a taste of something good only to have it suddenly snatched away is a real bitch. I think about how I felt about OC when we were together and how much I miss the things he brought to the table that no one else has covered. Besides the undeniable physical attraction, what was more... Continue Reading →
Who Will You Spend Your Sundays With?
I was watching a cooking show the other day, and one of the contestants talked about dating or hanging out with a guy on Friday or Saturday, but the person she wants to spend her Sundays with is the one who is really special. I haven’t spent a Sunday with anyone since OC, mainly because... Continue Reading →
Is He Gaslighting Me or What?
It seems like every time I call a man out on his bullshit, he stops talking to me. No big loss, however. I met someone my age in my area that I became "friends" with, but it’s a little strange. I recognized him through social media when he came into my job a few times.... Continue Reading →
A Year in Review – Sickness, Death, Grief, & Being Alone
The other day I was thinking that a year ago I had a lot of things going on. I started out house sitting for a friend at an amazing beachside location, but ended up getting the flu that eventually turned into pneumonia. It took about three months to feel normal again. In the meantime, I... Continue Reading →
I Give Up On Online Dating
Between how my New Year started out with the Cheapskate and the crazy messages I receive from men, I just deleted my Match and another paid dating account. Tonight was the last straw with the asinine comments. Some of them aren’t even from dating sites; some of these idiots find my Instagram and start to... Continue Reading →
