Virgo

We're very open, very comfortable talking with each other. That's why I'm so attracted to him. I love his personality, and we have a lot in common. When we started talking to each other it was like we had been close for years. We talk daily, all throughout the day. I hope we at least remain friends. I really enjoy talking to him.

Where is the like button? Of course the guy who I enjoy talking to the most is unavailable. He's in an on/off relationship with his girlfriend.

I'm ready for a connection, a relationship. I haven't been approached by scammers, but plenty of guys just wanting sex. That's not a bad thing, but just not what I want right now. Of course that could change too.

I honestly just want to be held by someone that wants me, not just sex. I've been avoiding sex because of everything that's going on with my dad. I want the emotional connection, comfort, and support right now. Not just sex.

It sounds like you've already made your decision.

Nice that it made you both smile.

I got a Happy New Year text from all of the guys I've dated. Plus a text from from a guy that I haven't been out with. He was out with his girlfriend. 😂

I'm already losing interest. I'm not as patient with the crap anymore. Not interested in drama or games. I'm good by myself. If the guy doesn't add to my life...bu...bye!

Semper, all of my dates have either been from meeting through friends or Facebook. I haven't ventured into online dating yet. The guy who I met up with Friday is talking about getting together Wednesday. I'll keep you posted. I'm still chatting with the other guy, but he is dating someone. Stepping back a bit. I do enjoy talking to him though.

I debated cancelling my date for tonight, but I'm glad I didn't. Really nice guy, complete gentleman. We both mentioned going out again. The reason I debated, I wasn't in the best mental state. I took my dad to the ER around 10am and was with him until 5pm. The MRI showed brain damage from multiple mini strokes and alcohol abuse. For those who don't know, my mom died 3 months before my husband. She had ALS. It's going to be a long, hard road with my dad. I just don't feel strong enough this time. Everyone is waiting for ME to take control. Completely baffles me! I already started looking into obtaining a power of attorney. Next steps will be moving assests, assisted living, and selling my childhood home. My dad is 66. From the years of alcohol abuse they are saying his brain is comparable to a 85 year old.

I need a sex weekend!

We ended up not getting together for our talk. I figured if he really wanted to talk he would have rescheduled a time. I didn't contact him. The two guys I'm talking to are around my age, tall, and active. I thought that was funny since we were talking about that. One is 6'6 and the other is 6'4.

My Saturday night has the potential to be very interesting. I have the house to myself all night. More than likely it will consist of me wrapping presents while watching TV.

Glad you had a good time! I hope the 2nd date is even better! I had another guy contact me through Facebook. We've been chatting quite a bit the past few days. The guy I was dating wants to go out tomorrow or Saturday. I think we're leaning more towards the friend zone.

Would you, or have you, dated someone with the same name as your late spouse? A friend of mine mentioned setting me up with a friend of his. His name is Phil. I'm not sure how I feel about that. It could be that we won't even go out, but it made me wonder if this has happened to any of you.

I meant the same guy as in they all seem to follow the same pattern. It's exhausting. Thanks for the reminder to be patient. That is so hard.

Have fun!!

He's my fwb I have been seeing since January and can't seem to completely resist, obviously.

If I mention the gym they normally laugh. One guy did go to the gym with me and said, "never again." He did his own thing. It's not like I was running him through my weight routine. I miss going to the gym with my LH. He helped motivate and challenge me. Not just in the gym. I agree imissdow. Movies are nice, but I want to go out and do fun activities too. Be active!

I had sex Sunday on my way home from a "girls weekend" getaway in Indianapolis. My family assumed that I was still traveling. I let them assume that.

Consistency is what I want!!

I've stayed true to myself and my character. The only thing I've really questioned is my sexual activity, but that's not really out of character for me either. It's just different because I'm not in a committed relationship. That would be ideal, what I want, but it's not my reality.

My LH was 6'3, so every guy I've dated seems short. The height doesn't bother me though. What bothers me is the lack of energy in guys my age. I'm 41. They act like they're in their 70s.

I seem to be dating the same guy over and over. Over eager in the beginning, steady, completely ignores me, then starts contacting me again.

I find myself somewhere between wanting to take a break from dating, and being tired of going places alone. Dating should be fun not overwhelming.
