Dating updates?

[Deleted]

This place is dead let's liven things up. For those of you are dating, how's it going? Any good stories? Want advice?

I'll share. Things got weird with the guy I'm dating and I'm bummed out. On one of our dates we went over to his place to watch a movie and it was getting late he offered to let me stay there (it wasn't high pressure or anything, we've only kissed so far). I declined as I had to get up super earlier the next morning. He came over to my place for a date a few days later. It was getting sort of late and I was getting sleepy. I said "I'm so sorry I'm getting super tired. Do you want to sleep here tonight? I'm not pushing for anything, but I know you live a bit aways."

He like immediately jumped up and was like "no, no. I need to go anyways." but it was this really hurried way out liked I'd spooked him. It was totally bizarre. He texted me later and said he had a really great night with a smiley face. Ever since then we've made plans twice and he's blown me off (once said he had to work late, then he was sick). Obviously I spooked him, but I thought that was so weird, because he'd offered the exact same thing? 

I'm not going to reach out anymore and we'll see if he does, but I'm kind of bummed. We had so much in common it was crazy and had such an awesome, easy, connection.

BF and I will "celebrate" 5 months tomorrow. Things are going well. He started a new position (promotion!) last month and was taking me for granted, but he got his shit together and things are back to normal. He's awesome and we really adore each other, he's great with DD, and there's a solid future with him.

Sorry @pdx18,

No dating for me! I'm working on myself and am really enjoying spending time with my friends and my kids.

[Deleted]

Thanks 1confused1 you win some, you lose some:)

I like someone but I know it's probably way too soon.

We've been really good friends for a couple of years and are both going through divorces. A few months ago we started this thing where we hang out for a couple hours on Wednesday's - go walk around somewhere, run errands, grab dinner. Just a companionship kind of thing to keep us both distracted and active. Well.. Now I like him. Nothing will come of it, nor should it, but it's kind of nice to know that there's people out there, ya know?

[doriswe]

I got Rickrolled on Tinder.

[cuddlyevil]

I got nothing. A guy hit on me while helping me change out a headlight--he complimented me and ripped on his mom in the same breath. Guess how that worked out?

[sweetchix]

I've got nothing.

doriswe, what happened?

[katieido]

I went out a couple of times with this guy, kind of haven't had a moment of free time in over two weeks since, may just fizzle out. I'm learning my natural inclination is not to prioritize my love life right now, other things take precedence. Oh well!

doriswe , what happened?

Grrr...I can't upload the phone at work....let me see if I can get it at home in a bit! It's funny!

[glitzyglow]

First date tomorrow night from Bumble. Crazy guy hasn't contacted me or had anyone he knows contact me, thankfully.

[Deleted]

I'm single again. Next week, a fifth person I know who was divorced after me is getting married BEFORE me again. Obviously they have no affect on my life and I don't call dibs on getting married first but... I still compare.

Even though I broke up with my boyfriend he still wants to talk to me. ugh. I just want to move on. I'm hurt by his actions and feel mislead. So I don't feel like it's friends and he called me "sexy" last night. You don't call friends "sexy". I just want to tell him to leave me alone but I know he's having a hard time at work so I just want to let this slowly fizzle out because I'm a people pleaser.

BF and I are very good We've been dating a little over a year now. This new job opportunity for him has definitely made it clear that we're both assuming a future together. And it should lead to me being able to see him more in about 6 months so I'm VERY excited about that part.

The one guy I liked the look of on eharmony finally wrote back to me after about 4 days, when I was about to give up. I didn't want to wait that long every time so I just gave him my number and said he should text me to organize a time to meet up. So we've been texting the last couple of days and I think we could actually be a good match.. I'm trying not to get too excited about it since I haven't really dated anyone since my separation and I feel like it would be some crazy luck if it works out, but you never know! Hopefully we will get to meet on the weekend and see whether there's real chemistry there

I will say, after what I went through with exh and the only other guy I've been with since separating, it feels really nice to have someone seem genuinely interested in knowing more about me.

[bl]

TR does that mean you might move to Dallas?

Bf and I have been dating about 6 months now. I just got home from spending 9 days in town with him and it was pretty great. We argue occasionally which is an adjustment for me because exh and I NEVER argued which I realize wasn't good either. We do so many things together and both value making memories and sharing experiences. Less than a month until our concert in NC. He had an interview for a job here last Thur, so hopefully we will hear something on that soon.

[alleinesein]

I've had 2 dates in the past 5 months. One guy lied to me and the other guy had no personality at all. Tinder has been a bust and okc only seems to attract weirdos.

[TR]

bl , possibly eventually! He's going to do a combo of commute/WFH for the first 6-ish months to get a feel for it, make sure it's a good fit, etc. then he'll see if he feels he can WFH more and commute less or if it would be better for us to be there full-time. 

[FormerlyRR]

Still dating TL, we will have known each other 2 years next week. Things are going great with us. Spent the past 4 days in his town for the airshow and hanging out, it was so great. All of it. I'm a lil swoony. Posted his picture in the Saturday randoms with his blessing.

[arielroux]

Things are really good with BF. We're hitting the 10 month mark in a couple weeks. (You'll remember he was "pseudo-bf" until a few weeks ago, but I still consider our relationship to have started back when we first met) I can't believe that he's been in my life for almost a year now. It still feels so new (in a good way)!

I do think I've been a little off with him lately though...my would-have-been 9 year anniversary is coming up in a few days. It's the first since I've been divorced, and it feels weird that it's a non-significant day anymore. I can't decide if I want to spend that night with BF (it falls on our standard weeknight date night), or if I want to be alone.

[dreamcrisp1]

Things are great with BF. We just put a deposit down on a venue for our wedding. I cried a bit about spending money, haha. But it's exciting! I'm going to visit him in a week and I can't wait! I haven't seen him since January 6!

[Deleted]

It's so great to hear so many positive updates! For those of us who haven't met that someone be sure to celebrate all that is awesome about you!

[thedutchgirl]

I'm not to dating yet, but I agree with @pdx18. It is great to hear happy stories and positive updates!

[verycontrary247]

I'm casually seeing a few people, but primarily one over the others. Super interested in me, really attractive and good in bed. I know he would like to date me exclusively but I, admittedly, am still hung up over hot karaoke dude and can't do it.

I feel bad about this but that wouldn't be fair to him, right?

[Linie]

I met someone at the end of January and we started seeing each other more and more.
Since one month, we spend the best part of each weekend together and it's really good. He is super smart and very funny (a Scottish writer) and he seems to appreciate me. Sometimes my face aches from laughing so hard. Sex is really good too. He also needs some alone time or see his friends, so that's perfect for me.

Do you not want to be exclusive because you're hoping Hot Karaoke Dude will want to date you or you want the option to be able to see him? Or is it because you're hung up on HKD and because of that haven't been able to develop strong enough feelings for this guy?

[somersault72]

I got engaged in January, we'd been dating right around a year when he proposed. Things are really good, we were planning on eloping in June, but I think he's going to have to have back surgery so we'll need to postpone, we're hoping for August now. I'm very happy, but still have fond memories of the time I was single after my divorce. I waited a long time to start dating again (almost 3 years after my divorce). The first year or so was spent healing, but the rest was spending a lot of time with DS and my friends, trying new things, and learning a lot about myself (I had never lived on my own before).

[doglove]

Nada for me, I gave up and am just focused on myself and my activities. I've been pretty busy anyways so it was a good time to take a break.

[pantsoffdanceoff]

I've gone out with 2 guys in the last month. The first was AWFUL! You could tell that he didn't want to be there at all; which kind of hurt my feelings. I confirmed with a friend that all my pictures matched how I actually look in person and didn't just put only the most flattering pictures of myself. I sent him a 'thank you' text after the date and he never even responded. It bummed me out.

HOWEVER, the second guy was really nice and we've since gone out 4 times! Although, 2 of those dates were at each other's places. He came over and I made dinner and we watched a movie and hooked up and then 2 days later I went to his place and watched tv and hooked up. I'm feeling a little nervous that I (we) set ourselves up for a FWB situation, which I do not want with him because I actually like him. I'm going to make sure that our next date is an actual date and outside and that I don't go back to his place or him back to mine. After that I will see where we stand. But I think I really like him and it feels strange and I'm nervous. Sorry for the ramble.

[pantsoffdanceoff]

Also, guy # 2 has a really hot body and I have convinced myself that I'm really going to start going to the gym again. Because DAMN!
