And he did so for a year.<br /><br /> So sometimes its obvious and sometimes you wish to ignore it and make excuses (ie "So what if he would rather watch Snakes on a Plane than get a blow-job, that doesn't mean he's not into me...right?") - true story.Wanderlustinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05997835666384194750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13000256.post-15843015370847829082009-06-24T12:57:15.303-04:002009-06-24T12:57:15.303-04:00I was single for six years.

I've had my heartbroken - badly - three times and been rejected more times than you can count.<br /><br />A month after my weasel-ex dumped me I met Mike and I never knew relationships could be so damn easy. I wasn't looking for anyone and there he was.<br /><br />What I am saying is KEEP BEING OPTIMISTIC! HE IS OUT THERE! He just might not be the one you think you need. For example, if I were still jaded/bitter and super picky as I normally am, I wouldn't have met Mike because he didn't fit my "requirements" - but he was everything I needed.<br /><br />I think as long as your requirements are stuff from the heart and not "he must be over 6 feet tall, he must have a great job, he must be well-educated" then you WILL find that someone!<br /><br />I know you already know this, but I just thought I would put it out there again :PWanderlustinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05997835666384194750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13000256.post-91288251552087087362009-06-24T12:56:41.094-04:002009-06-24T12:56:41.094-04:00It's nice to know that I'm not the only on...It's nice to know that I'm not the only one fed up with boys.Wonderfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16968423652225440157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13000256.post-76633848204092962672009-06-23T23:20:43.724-04:002009-06-23T23:20:43.724-04:00I think there are always exceptions, but overall i...I think there are always exceptions, but overall if someone wants to be with you, they'll be with you.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09897414542540122640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13000256.post-55101548415352444442009-06-23T21:50:51.794-04:002009-06-23T21:50:51.794-04:00now while i said that i think you shouldn't gi...now while i said that i think you shouldn't give him another chance i agree with jamie's comment 100%.alexa @clevelandsaplumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17455541282046721762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13000256.post-86084920507271327972009-06-23T21:35:38.569-04:002009-06-23T21:35:38.569-04:00Um...so yeah.

I might be partial since you are such a dear friend - but girl, YOU ROCK and don't you forget it!! You were the one who had Yates 1st South and Fauquier drooling for you, remember??

But, you're right ... it's a lot easier to dole out that kind of advice and stick to our chops when we're on the other side of the fence. Sitting in your shoes, I'm pretty sure there were more than a few times that I excused guys' behavior when I most certainly shouldn't have!Nilsa @ SoMi Speakshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474642034399063234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13000256.post-36197786910739900612009-06-23T13:20:56.790-04:002009-06-23T13:20:56.790-04:00I dated a guy like that for 5 months.

Then he dumped me for someone else. After I married and moved to a different city, I was working as a cashier and he came through the line with a friend. I didn't notice him until his friend was paying for the purchase, and then I shook with anger the rest of the day that he didn't even say hello, the jerk.<br />I hope I never see him again. <br /><br />Hold out for the ones who make the effort.<br /><br />PS: Nothing quite like a commuter train wreck to give me a panic attack for 3 short minutes. That's how long it took for me to send and receive a text message from my husband yesterday.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13000256.post-29882952091326584082009-06-23T12:49:54.677-04:002009-06-23T12:49:54.677-04:00glad you decided to go against it...i feel like th...glad you decided to go against it...i feel like the friend that's always encouraging the opposite - give him a chance, he's just really busy! i just can't imagine someone not wanting to date you!! serena van der alice ;)silhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04513402186513892775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13000256.post-64892312140310998012009-06-23T12:35:12.094-04:002009-06-23T12:35:12.094-04:00Oh crap, I didn't vote, but my vote would have...Oh crap, I didn't vote, but my vote would have been "Eff that noise!"<br /><br />If you can't even make the effort for the first date, what hope is there for any other dates?<br /><br />That aside, things do happen.

And when you get that way, you are really only hurting yourself.<br /><br />Just don't go down that route. I know it's hard, it's NOT easy to find the right person to be with and it sucks a little out of you each time you do meet someone.<br /><br />But don't give up hope.

Valid, of course, but I always feel like in the very early stages, when he doesn't know me at all yet, then maybe he really IS busy, because why would he change his whole schedule for someone he just met and barely knows? I'm not apt to do so myself, until I know I like a guy, so why should he be any different? Alas, when it's right I suppose there's supposed to be magic and certainty from the start? Something like that, maybe. Regardless, I think blowing this dude off is the right decision this time.<br /><br />On an unrelated note, I'm glad you posted today! I have no idea, of course, whether your commute involves either of the trains that crashed yesterday, but since you are one of the few people I know in the DC area, I immediately thought of you and hoped you were OK!Stefaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10128238432671375399noreply@blogger.com
