What's going on your dating life? Update us.

I'm still dating my boyfriend and we recently moved in together as I moved back to the same city as him. I have a month off of work and he works an "untraditional" job so he's home a lot so we got to spend a good amount of time together. It's been great since soon I'll start back to work and he'll be on tour for long periods of time. I'm on a solo vacation right now and I miss him lol.

We have no plans to get engaged or married anytime soon or if ever. My professional life is going well and things such as volunteering and hobbies are also going well, so it's icing on the cake that I also have a wonderful partner to add in the mix.

Nada. Zip. Zilch. Nothing.

The only guys who contact me online are either drunk and bored at 3am or guys who like to catfish. Tinder has been a wash; I only seem to match with guys who are just visiting my part of the US and as soon as they realize I don't live in their town they disappear. Hopefully the dating pool with improve in a few months when all the new hire engineers start at Qualcomm; we need some new blood out here. It is the same guys online that have been there since I started dating in 2013.

I have 2 new dates lined up for tonight/tomorrow. Yay me! Equally excited about both... as much as you can be about meeting strangers at restaurants. And possibly a third, which would be a repeat, on Saturday or early next week.

Nothing. I've tried a little, but I'm scared and I'm not sure I can do this. I thought I wanted to date and just meet some people, but I think I'd rather just skip it and be married again.

Single and happy and not looking

Spending time with myself. Family. And friends. Living my space and freedom!

These were really fun/interesting to read. Nice to see so many people happy in a variety of states.

I have been dating my BF for about 2 years now. We recently went on a 2 week long trip abroad and it went really well.

Next month we are going on a week long trip with my son. I am really excited. It is a very big step for us. My boyfriend never stays over at our house and we have only done overnight weekend visits to either of our parents house. This will be a real fell of what it would be like to live together.
...I am also terrified because of airplanes and 4 year olds - yikes!

I decided a few weeks ago to open myself to the idea of dating again, and immediately fell head over heals for a guy on my softball team. I am so terrified of rejection though that nothing will happen with it but it's weird to feel something for someone again.

I was seeing a guy for a couple of weeks. He texted me today that he didn't want to see me anymore. I'm actually ok with that. I think the time that I was seeing him was good for me. It made me feel like I'm actually ok to start dating. I'm not obsessing about it. It was fun while it lasted.

That's a bummer, but you have a really good attitude about it. 
Also, I'm REALLY impressed that he actually told you, rather than ghost you.

Oh me too! I kind of suspected as we were supposed to hang out Friday and he blew me off with a lame excuse. But the message he sent today was very nice. I mean, nice for saying you don't want to see me anymore

I've had 2 guys be a man and tell me they don't think things are going to work out vs ghosting me ... gives me hope that somewhere there's a decent guy got me lol

Oh heyyyyy!


I'm just going to give you all my updates!

1. I GOT A JOOOOOOOB!! And a good one, at that! I'm working for my old company's direct competitor. Suck it, old company. New company is paying me 45% more, and the people seem really really nice. No more backstabbing and shit talking! 

2. BF and I moved in together in December. It's going really well. Obvsiously, with update #1, our routines are going to change a bit, but I'm sure it'll be fine. BF was quite enjoying me being super domestic since I was unemployed. I think he's done the dishes twice since December, lol. My roommates were also loving my unemployment because I was more than happy to babysit whenever they asked! Oh well, I'm more than ready to be fully employed again.

3. There is a ring. I have seen it. I'm pretty sure I will be engaged by mid-month. He actually spilled the beans about his plan, so now I'm having to pretend I don't know his plans, while still trying to make sure my friends are there for it (although I think he's talked to a few of them already). I'm actually a little worried his proposal is going to make the news and that makes me nervous.



4. I had another egg retreival done in February. This time, we decided to go ahead and fertalize them, so we have 5 embryos on ice!

5. Speaking of which, I met with my surgeon last month and he changed the plan, which I'm actually really happy about.

His previous plan was to put me on Lupron for 6 months (KILL ME) to reduce the endo and then do another surgery to remove the endo and fibroids. Well, over the last few years the BCP I'm on seems to be controlling my endo really well. Most months I don't even get a period, just one or two red wipes. Compared to having to use super and ultra sized tampons for days 2-4 (and needing to change them every hour or so) of my 15-day period, I'm a happy fucking girl!

So now the plan is to have surgery ASAP to remove the fibroids and also snip my fallopian tubes. The reason for this is because every time I have a scan, my tubes present as hydrosalpinx, which means they're swollen with fluid. This fluid is known to be cytotoxic (will kill an embryo), so we don't want to risk having it leak into my uterus after an embryo transfer. I feel like I SHOULD be more upset at the idea of permanently removing any chance of a natural pregnancy, but the likelihood that that was ever going to happen was pretty damn low. Plus, I actually am comforted by the fact that I can allow myself to let go of any hope for it. Because that can be exhausting. It's ok. I already have my backup plan in place. 

I don't know when I will schedule surgery yet, since I JUST started my new job last week. Plus, I have vacations already planned in Sept (BF's bday at the beginning of the month and a friend's wedding in Vegas at the end of the month), so I'm thinking Oct or Nov. I will probably need 2 weeks off, so I don't want to ask for that too soon. 



Now that I'm sitting at a desk all day again, I promise to try to post more!
