I sent a text to the guy I've been seeing saying I think we have different dating expectations and should go our separate ways. It's for the best, but I hate the ups of getting excited about someone followed by the down of them not being compatible with me.
I get to see Trainwreck today...yay!!!! I might get a pedicure, too.
I am going to see Trainwreck on Sunday with my roommate! I can't wait!!
The guy I went out with Wednesday asked me out for tonight. I had said yes, we kissed good night and texted good night and I haven't heard from him since. It was feeling one-sided regarding communication since I felt like I was the one reaching out first, so now it's confirmed that apparently I won't hear from him unless I reach out. Am I being petty by not reaching out?
I probably would have sent a message this morning asking what the plan was for tonight. IDK about petty, but does it really matter who reaches out as long as the date happens?
I honestly don't know, lol. The two friends I asked had completely opposite reactions!

Today at work my new boss took me on a detour to see the graves of Johnny Cash and June Carter-Cash. It was really cool!
I am supposed to play tennis tonight with a guy I met on Tinder, but naturally I haven't heard from him all day. He's sending me such mixed signals. He reached out Sunday and Tuesday and we made plans, but the text conversations were short. I feel you @bk. I am going to text him and see if we're still on. If he cancels or doesn't respond, I won't contact him again or respond if he reaches out.
Are you okay Jojo? This is oddly defensive. You and your husband have different comfort levels when it comes to presentation on social media. Different strokes for different folks.
huh? It sounds like typical me to me. My point was you compared pictures in your home to FB pictures, which are not even close to the same thing. There are people who never get on FB, so judging them for still having pics of their ex is weird to me when you don't know if they have even been ON FB in a year.Â
It's fairly easy to discern if someone is an active poster on fb thanks to their shitty privacy settings. Last post or profile picture update was yesterday and he has pictures of ex up? Weird to me. Last post was July 2013...not so weird. I feel like this is a strange argument of variables. Assuming the party actively uses fb, I find it strange. If he does not, I'm less inclined to be bothered by it.
It feels very awkward to me. Personally, I removed all pictures and all of my friends have removed pictures. That said, neither myself or my friends have kids. If someone keeps up pictures of, say, their kid's birthday and the ex is in the photo, I don't have any uncomfortableness with that. Having pictures of an ex on vacations, holidays, events, etc., would be awkward and bother me personally. I don't personally keep pictures of myself and my ex on display in my home for guests to see, so I treat my Facebook similarly and would prefer a partner to feel similarly (the kid issues brings exceptions).
But I think this assumes someone gives a shit about social media. A lot of people just don't care or really keep up with it that much. I mean it's not like his profile pic is of them together or anything. To a lot of people scrolling through possibly hundreds of photos to delete or hide just isn't worth their time.
People do care, that's why it's so popular. Note all the people who have admitted to fb stalking people, lol.
I don't understand why caring about this is an issue. You don't care, I care. I know everyone has a past, I just prefer not to see it laid out on fb.
So, you would only date someone who feels similarly about social media as you do? Because MH hasn't been on FB in weeks. I'm not sure he even knows what pictures he is tagged in. If we divorced, I doubt he would go looking through his entire FB to find every trace of me to delete because he doesn't give a shit. FB to him is not his home. He would of course take down pictures of me in his home where he sees them every day. Facebook? He doesn't look at that shit.

bl and jojoandleo, I have really been loving the Tresemme Perfectly (Un)Done shampoo and conditioner. It's designed to enhance wavy hair. There are some additional products in the line that have been getting rave reviews, but so far I've just used the shampoo and conditioner. When I want really wavy hair, I spritz in some sea salt spray in my wet hair after I've washed it.
Today was my first day at my new job and it was fantastic. Looking forward to tomorrow!

Oooh, fuckyourcouch, can I pick your brain and ask if you will tell me about the New Madrid fault and its situation? I've read a lot about the 1811/1812 earthquakes (which are terrifying) when I worked for NPS in 2011/2012 due to the bicentennial of the earthquakes, but I don't know much about its current issues/risks.
I'm home now. I just ate and am trying to convince myself to go to the gym. A nap sounds so good, but I need to hit the gym. 2.5 months until my cruise and I need a cruise body.

I spent the day with my family and it was great. I'll miss them when I leave, but it'll be nice to be back home in my apartment.
My sisters told me the funniest story. About a month ago they were shopping at a farmer's market/beer garden and my youngest sister noticed my exH there with his gf. My youngest sister saw him look at her and she immediately told my younger sister that exH was there. Younger sister had just bought a beer and said they would go after she finished her beer (she hates my exH). Sometime while my sisters were finishing their drinks, exH and his gf disappeared. My sisters still felt weird knowing he was there and they headed out. While leaving, they saw my exH and his gf hiding in an alleyway, lol. Once exH saw my sisters, he proceeded to quickly walk down the alleyway and hide out of sight. I'm slightly pleased to know that after 5 years of being apart, he is still a lowly coward and runs from things that make him feel guilty and/or ashamed.
cuddlyevil, not too many details to give, lol. Besides, I've barely heard from him today...how shocking...not. Men are dumb.
Anyway, in other randoms news, my new boss texted me and said that Tuesday we are having lunch with the Chamber of Commerce with the next city over. OMG, I feel so much like a grown-up in my new job and I love it!
