Come in if you'd like to have a pity party with me.

I killed all my profiles last week because it is too damn depressing right now. I decided I am just going to focus on school, friends and family this last month and worry about boys in the near year.

[Deleted]

That's so lame, why are the guys subpar???

[pantsoffdanceoff]

I could have written your post about online dating word for fucking word!! I'm going to deactivate my profile too. I just get more and more depressed that it's never going to happen for me. I really just need to take a step back and regroup.

Cute produce guy was there again today and we chatted but I found out he has the same name as my ex. Incidentally, the girl my ex is dating, her ex husband had the same name as my ex.

I ruined a perfectly good jar of sour cream by taking the easy way out when making onion sour cream dip. I should have chopped the onions, added garlic and a little season all but NOOOOO I had to be lazy and just use the onion soup packet and it's so salty it's practically inedible with my chips.

pantsoffdanceoff my XH has a very, very common name. I have been asked out twice by men with the same name since we separated. I know it's ridiculous, but I just can't imagine dating someone with the same name.

Yes!! He does have a very common name but there is just a certain level of ick to it.  

[pantsoffdanceoff]

Well... I just ordered pizza so at least next week I will know why I didn't lose any weight.

I guarantee that someone I date will have had an ex with my name, it's super common.

I've had a headache for almost a week...my body is totally pissed off at me for working out, dancing and drinking too much yesterday....I'm a little sad about MT but I think it's more like I'm going to miss the cuddling/closeness.

Some lady in Publix just asked me if I have any grandchildren.

I'm having a pity party that the Pats are sucking so bad against Denver. I also still have a bit of a hangover and am considering a vodka soda to finally cure it.

mp I'm sorry you got so sick from your meal. You made what should have been a good choice and are still paying for it. Sucks

ETA: online dating gets so exhausting. It ultimately paid off for me, but not without plenty of discouraging stretches. I did it on and off over a period of of 8 freaking years!

Didn't you say T got a last minute invite to the game?  I bet he is wishing he passed on that invite with the shitty game AND cold temps.  I had lots of people on my feed today at the Packers/Vikings game just bitching up a storm about the temps.

[dreamcrisp1]

Not the same but I'm allergic to dairy and soy and it makes life HARD.

Also, my date was a disaster. I wasn't ready. I almost cried so many times. I got home and dissolved into tears. He was great but he knew I wasn't feeling it. Blah. I couldn't stop thinking about my ex. Guess I need to take a break. Blah.

Also, online dating is never happening for me. I never EVER get good matches so I gave up. I found ONE guy last May and yeah...never again apparently.

Yup he's freezing his ass off! He said it's 4 degrees with windchill and he's been taking frequent bathroom breaks just to stand in the heat for a few! So not jealous he's there. I'm all snuggled up on the couch with a blanket.

I'm sorry dreamcrisp Remind me how recent your breakup was? I was never good at dating fresh out of a breakup. I remember crying the whole way home after a first post breakup date.

Officially 6 weeks ago. But it's been up and down/back and forth since then. As bad as he treated me and as much as I know I deserve better, I miss him. I kept comparing them. This is the first date I've attempted since then. Ugh. I literally walked into the bathroom so I could pull myself together.

It's ok to not be ready yet. As we say around here, you've got to feel the feels for a while even though it sucks. Hugs.

I found an amazing class I want to take but I don't have the money for it. Could charge it but that feels irresponsible. It's really new info. I've never seen anything like it. What should I do?

Is it related to your business? Can you write something like that off?

[pantsoffdanceoff]

Attachment DeletedI don't think my hot date tonight is feeling me

[jojoandleo]

On the plus side, my family spent the day talking about how much they liked you, how cute you are, and about finding you an Austin hipster! my niece asked why you weren't here today. I think she liked the hair.

[blondnearby]

mp want to mess around on my POF profile? You know you always have fun with that! I am sorry you're sad.

Yes. Totally business related. It covers business building techniques that I haven't seen covered before, like why Crossfit isn't just a gym but a way of life.

If it has the potential to bring in more money for your business then I say charge it.  I don't see that as being financially irresponsible at all.

I thought the whole non dairy thing was a joke so I bought so milk and are cereal. Boom! Huge cystic zit on my chin oozing grossness. Whyyy?!?!

[Wanderista]

I don't normally whine about weather and sometimes I can appreciate cold weather, but not today. Not enjoying this. 

Also, even though I have had some success with online dating, I still think it can be annoying a lot of the time. 

[gault]

HUGS mp.

I'm whining at myself because I just realized in the last few days how much weight I have gained. I'm starting to rewind back into my before photos. I wasted a lot of hard work for a few donuts and some booze and am mad at myself.

You took the words out of mouth. I am starting back up tomorrow on a "trial run" of my own version of an Atkins type diet. I say trial run as I am going to enjoy thanksgiving dinner but then going back on it 100%.

Good point!  I do have interest free for a year too.

Sorry it's been such a tough week for you! Online dating sites usually disappoint me too.

This evening I've been texting with a guy I met on Friday night. I'm going to the Apple Cup (Washington's big college football game) on Friday and he asked me if I had preference of who wins. I told him yes, which team I root for, and asked which one he supports. And haven't heard anything since. I'm really hoping it's just a coincidence he hasn't responded and it has nothing to do with a college sports team.
