Re: FFFC
I want to hug your neck and call you sweet pet names until you love them. I'm a sucker for them and got the warm and fuzzies that you just used one on me.
*swoon*
lol. I dont mind other pet names. Sugar is ok. I have a client that calls me 'darling'. My ex-bf (before my H) I called Moose, or Moosey. He has contacted me a few times and I still call him that.
I'm happy for you. I had a few really negative and drama-filled friends in the past and once I realized how unhealthy it was for me and let them go, I was suddenly a million times happier and healthier!
I've not had had sex in almost a year and the longer it gets, the more anxious I am getting about the whole thing (the last time was with XH). 50% of the time I feel like I should just get it over with so I can stop being a huge dork about it and the other 50% thinks I should wait until I'm in a relationship (which I'm not aggressively pursuing).
I am really glad that some people are this board are not posting as much. They make me headdesk.
But I feel bad because I should really be sympathetic.

You've read my mind. Except replace "almost a year" with over a year.
My FFFC: I went out on a date with a new boy last night (D)..even though I'm kinda smitten with A. A is out of town and this other guy and I started talking around the same time as A and I did, but due to scheduling conflicts, this week worked out. Also, I'm nervous that I like A and want to make SURE I like him, you know? I'm not tied down, so I figured it couldn't hurt, even though I felt a little guilty.
So, i was hoping the date would totally suck. But it didn't. I wasn't super attracted to him, but I really enjoyed the date and conversation. We have alot in common, too. Overall, the date wasn't bad...but it didn't have the "spark" of A. D is the kind of guy I "should" like, for a variety of different reasons (has a great job, etc.), but A is just this incredible guy that is really hard to compete with on a different type of level. And the chemistry with A...is there. For sure.
So I don't know if I go on and date both guys a little while and decide? I don't think I'd be good at that...I could see it backfiring.
i'm kinda jealous about everyone going out on all these dates! i feel like i might be ready for a casual date, but it's only been three months. so i'm telling myself no. also, i have no prospects whatsoever. i told myself no dating this year at all. we'll see how long that last.
achase - i think you really have your stuff together, are an awesome mom and that you give good advice, but since this is fffc, i confess that i think you tell guys you are busy studying as a defense mechanism, but if the right guy comes along you won't be so busy studying.
I have come to the conclusion that I'm basically a little conceited.
I was a little sad that I wasn't included in the PM that was sent to a lot of people on the board, but obviously I shouldn't really care.
I'm so envious of all the ladies here that are going on dates! I'm so excited for you all. However, I'm still being lazy about pursuing anything which is why I'm not going out on dates....
I'm going up to see a friend's newborn tonight. While I'm super happy for her and can't wait to see him, I'm really having a tough time with the millions of babies being born around me lately. I want the husband, house, kids, etc really bad and the more time that passes, the more I really wonder if it will happen. I realize this is really irrational considering I'm only 29.
I was seeing 2 guys because I wanted to make sure guy A was the one for me totally backfired. Guy A and I chatted almost everyday, I developed feelings for him. I met guy B the same time .... Well I ended going on a long date with guy B and guy A was kind of worried I didn't respond to his message so he left me a message asking if I was okay. He came over the next day because he saw my truck and knocked on my door. Guy B answered the door . It was the last I saw guy A.
I am never doing that again.
Haha, you are probably right. Although I do have an irrational fear that my dating life would in some way derail my goal of being a CFP and I'm so close I can practically taste it.
OH crap! That DID totally backfire! I guess I'll just have to see if D even wants to go on a second date and see how date #3 with A goes...AGH>>>>>WHY did I do this to myself?!
I am feeling a bit of the same... I am currently at my sisters with her 2 week old baby and just left my BFF's house who is TTC. Everyone is married, kids, setteled etc. I am not jealous of the baby, marriage, or owning a home because it seems a little overwhelming at the moment. I guess I am a little envious of the stability and the feeling that they have a "person" that will always be there for them. I am literally on my own... been living overseas for 6 months and going back in 3 weeks. Currently everything I own is in 2 suitcases and a box...lol. It's been a week and it's getting a bit old.
