Tiresome Monday

[mommadukes]

it's Monday and I'm exhausted. All I did was sit on the beach, but I guess the sun drains me. anyone else get like this?

Also, a guy on POF wants to do a FWB. At least he is honest about it. I'm not really sure about it, but I think I realized after the recent guy and I ended things that I don't really need a relationship, for now. so maybe it will be an option if we ever meet.

My mom asked me yesterday when I am going to start dating after being separated for a year. I'm 37. I think I'll be ok and just wait it out. I dont desperately need a man. A back rub from someone would be nice though.

I slept 12 hours yesterday and then got 9 hours in last night. It was glorious but now I feel hungover.

Yes, at least he's honest. I liked my FWB situation when I was in one.

It's cheaper to pay someone to rub your back. LOL.

I just landed in DC after flying all night and I'm surprisingly not exhausted! It's going to be a hell of a 48 hour trip. I'm already exhausted. Having to work an event plus documents for another client. Gah!

I am tired too. All I do is run from one thing to the next even on the weekends. I did watched the Colombia match for the Copa América and was sadly disappointed.

DD is leaving for her dad's on Saturday so this is my last week of mom duty. I will miss her like crazy but I need the break. She had her 1st music presentation on Friday and she was sooo excited. It was a group one since she is just starting with the viola but she enjoyed her time.

Mondays suck. It didn't even feel like we had a weekend, and I had a 3-day one!

I reactived my POF last week and have had quite a few messages. Problem is, the majority are just "hi", "how are you", "good morning". I specifically state that those types of messages will get you deleted in my profile because I'm so sick and tired of those. It may sound snobby, but I don't have time for that. This is usually what causes me to hide my profile after a week. But, I've been talking with the one guy and we may meet up Thursday night. I have tentative plans so we'll see.

Oh I liked someone on CMB and he liked me. Now I am scared to talk to him. Oh the effort.

Then I accidentally liked someone back and he immediately responded. UGH. awkward. I have not responded.

JUDGE ME.

I got so much packing done this weekend. I finally feel like I'm making progress on this move. I close on the house this week. THIS WEEK!!! I'm excited, overwhelmed, and freaking out, lol. All in a good way.

I meet BF's mom on Saturday. We're going to a beer festival, and I'm already trying to figure out what I want to wear. I know it shouldn't matter what I wear, but I really want to make a good impression. I'm thinking a maxi dress. BF says there's no way she won't like me and she's super excited to finally meet me. This is actually exciting for me. I've never been excited to meet someone's mother before, lol.

I think it's going to be a good week.

I got a surprise call from my eh+ guy last night. He said he would call Monday (tonight), but he was thinking of me and wanted to see how the rest of my weekend went since our date. I thought it was pretty sweet. My Monday is off to a good start, I got my a$$ handed to me at a gym class and getting some loose ends tied up at work.

I had a good weekend. I played tennis in the puddles with a friend and then K and I met my friend and her husband for a night of camping. We spent 24 hours together and I wasn't sick of him by the end of it, which I think is a good sign.

I'm excited for yoga tonight. I also need to run at some point.

[glitzyglow]

mp, how was your date?

It's my normal day off but I just got home from work (I gave a presentation to a group. Yay overtime pay! I think I'm going to hit the pool now.

I'm dying to play tennis and I haven't even touched my raquet in almost a year. I will try and play a lot more when DD is visiting her dad.

I hadn't played since high school but in the last few months my friend and I have played a few times -- a lot of fun!

This isn't in direct response to the OP - but it annoys me when we fall back on the "at least..." things. Like the married guys hitting on me in Vegas - at least they're honest! No. They're shitpigs. lol.

honest with you but not their wives! idiots

sweetchix, I'm new to the dating scene, but what should the messages say?

I think initial messages should try to elicit conversation.  "Hi" doesn't really do that.  I always make a comment about their profile and then ask a question to start a conversation.  "Hi" shows zero effort and if you can't take a minute to type out something more than "hi," I'm out!

Exactly! I feel they do not even try with "hi". A greeting and then a comment or question about my profile would be perfect. I say in my profile "intrigue me", make me want to reply back. I always state something about their profile, comment on a picture or ask about something they say in it, when I message someone. It shows more interest than just "hi, how are you?". itsalllies

I loooooove tenis. DD actually trains to play and I feel like since I am "in touch" with the sport AKA taking DD for training sessions several times a week, I feel that I am not as removed. Except for the fact that the other day I tried playing for 5min and I was already tired haha. 

I stopped playing 2 years ago and that's when I started getting fatter  .

bg and stephreloaded, I love tennis and played in high school. I recently convinced a friend to play with me and it was so fun. I think I am going to join a meetup group of tennis players, although I'm super intimidated because I'm nowhere near my old level of play!

One great thing about my friend and I playing is that we're at the same level (both haven't played in ages!) so we have what we call 'moments of competence.' But it'll be fun to play more and improve (hopefully!).
