Let's all decide that when it comes to dating decisions, no tricking ourselves allowed. We deserve someone who is a healthy treat to have in our lives.
Cool as a Cucumber has digested all my thoughts on verbalizing/showing his feelings more, & has made adorable babysteps to meet me in the middle already! That Sweetie. A saucy, seductive text message that left me feeling wanted, initiation of political discussions, and a couple of compliments to my face that are already more than enough to leave me beaming and wipe away any insecurities I had. Because it's brand spanking new to him, probably awkward as hell, but he's making the effort to meet my needs for these explicit signals, from time to time.

We have alot in common, which is very different from my ex and I. And this match is on the coat tails of several dates with a man I have been referring to as 'Chubby Biker'.. I wasnt super attracted to him, but he was so nice and seemed so geniune and interested. So we went out a few times (5 times) and then he just quit calling - I contacted him (voice mail, email, facebook, text) and 1 week later he calls like nothing was wrong. We had been talking almost everyday. I told him I wasnt ok with him ignoring me and that I wouldnt be seeing him again. He seemed stunned ?? really?? Do you know who I am? I am a woman, a mother and a human being - you dont treat people that way. It's rude and inconsiderate. You certainly will not be treating me that way. c-ya.. I think he was trying to play some kind of game or something.. but I'm over it.
um hi - i am so not dating yet (separated 3 months, not divorced, busy parenting, etc) . . . but i just wanted to tell someone about this, and this seemed like the right thread! i have this old friend i've probably known for about 7 or 8 years. i've never crushed on him, but have always thought he was a really awesome person - smart, down-to-earth, responsible, and i love all his fb posts about his child, his spirituality, being in nature, music and other mutual interests. he's someone i would love to know better (because even though we've known each other a long time, the nature of my relationship with stbx was such that i basically never talked to men other than brief friendly exchanges, no long conversations or i'd hear all about it later from stbx). and he's hot. extremely hot.
But 5 minutes after that conversation he was texting me saying he'd really like to come down and see me and was so tempted... he wanted me to contact him when I'm next in his city (in 10 days time)...and sent me nice texts about having loved cuddling up to me on the couch (when we met and ended up getting snuggly)...so he's pretty much left the ball in my court but I don't think I'm going to play, tempting as it is! He is cute and I'm v drawn to him but I think if he can't be bothered to come down and see me, but is happy to see me if I'm right in his neighbourhood, then he's not really worth it - actually pretty lazy really. Or just isn't really keen enough to bother.
