chapter 2 of sammy's small world of internet dating...

I posted a few weeks ago about how my dating service thought my younger brother and I would be a good match...I, of course, thought it was hysterically funny, but he apparently didn't agree. His profile disappeared from my matches shortly afterward. (Actually, I don't think he was that disgusted. We eventually talked about it, and I could see a smirk on his face. Just a little one.)

Shortly after I signed up for this service I exchanged a few messages with a man from my town. I didn't recognize his photo, and after a few days he stopped responding to me. I thought he was a jerk, but beyond that didn't feel too bad - no real sparks.

Yesterday I was flipping through the channels and stopped when I saw a familiar picture on the local government channel. It was "the guy"...he had recently been elected to City Council here, and his home address was posted on the screen.

He lives in my building.

I hardly talked to my friend all day. The more I thought about what she did the more upset I got. Another friend and I went out to lunch, partially because she wanted me to talk about it. So I did, I explained the whole situation and she understood how I felt. Which is really good, because I didnt want to just be feeling mad for no reason. I apparently had good reasons for being mad, but my friend I went to lunch with thinks I should talk to the other friend in a couple days about it. Still p*sses me off though. She knows I'm mad but wont even talk to me about it. What the heck. Shouldnt she care that I'm mad? Friends should care when their friends are upset with them, right.

Aww, gee that sucks! Of course your p*ssed! I don't know what to tell you though, I don't have any friends and I know this is bound to happen to my sister and I, but as siblings it's different. If the guy likes her better though, there ain't much you can do about it. Who knows what might happen though, give it some time I'd say, and try not to let it affect your friendship--although I know it will be difficult not to have some bitterness/anger though.

I had a night class last semester. I was hoping there might be a few candidates for the future Mrs. Diapers in that one, but 100% of the women in that class had (or were) kids, and nearly 30% of them were married.

My teacher looked like Danica Patrick rrrreeaaaoooww. She's married with children...and not looking for a "pool boy".

I'm taking a Saturday class this semester. We'll see what happens with that. I figure that no kid would actually choose to go to school on a Saturday, so that should raise the average age of my classmates right there.

The last 3 semesters I have gone out with 4 girls I met in class. During those 3 semesters I took 13 classes for 45 credits. That means I go out with .089 girls for every credit I take. I'm taking 15 credits. this semester which means that theoretically I'll be taking 1.335 girls out on a date this semester.

You're absolutely right! I get concerned when one of my friends asks off, & I usually want to know if they're mad at me so I can fix the situation. One of the last things I need is to have a friend fed up with me.

But yeah, it seems like she values the guy more than she does your feelings. That kinda sucks, 'cause who will she turn to when they break up (are they dating?). If you decide to stick her, you're a loyal, dedicated friend who needs to see that. If she pushes you behind while she progresses with the guy, don't bother to stick around. I can tell that you should be able to find another friend & guy no problem. Nobody needs a toxic friend, especially you. Hopefully she sees what's right before you have to resort to something drastic.

I barely spent any time with the brit today. He's busy putting work papers together. I'm a widow nearly during tax season
Pam_Halpert_1
Random fact: but I find I have no time to even go out on a date. Maybe this is why people say date when you get into a masters program? Who knows, but if I did have a BF he would be quite sad because he would never see me.
Fancy_New_Becca
in the middle of my emotional rant I asked if the brit if he thinks we should take some time apart from each other. He said no. Theres no reason. I quote "i don't know where you get these ideas sometimes or why you would say something like that" Maybe because I'm falling apart and I don't have the physical an emotional support I need to bring me up. Can I talk to my mom about how I'm exhausted? No. Her answer is well maybe a part time job would sort you out. Yes all I need on top of all this is a part time to stress over and then she turns around later and wants me home to drive her when she's not well. Wouldn't I have loved for him to just humor me alittle and try to comfort me some. He's cranky I'm cranky. I'd seriously like to disappear right now

So last night was dancing (we go every week), and my sister and I (thanks to receptionist) did smokey eyes! biggrin.gif And just a side note, we never wear make up or wear anything really special or anything, so putting on a little bit of eye make up is different for us.

Ya, I got "nice shirt" and "did you put lipstick on" and something along the lines of 'I didn't know it was you with your new look' laugh.gif! It's ok with some guys, but there was this older moon faced guy I danced with last week--bad dance BTW--that kinda gives me the willies and he came when we were being shown some moves by one of the really good dancers at the place we go to and the mood faced guy wouldn't leave me alone. He kept on wanting to practice with me, but he didn't even know how to lead it! I was like "Um, I just want to listen, thanks" and strategically moved away laugh.gif! Then he asked me to dance before we left and I told him we had to go and he said 'oh well, next time', at least that's what he thinks laugh.gif!

Other than that, I danced with a bunch of great dancers, it was fun!
Fancy_New_Becca
^^ did you get any numbers? It's nice isn't it? That one little change can make guys go crazy over you.

brits been better. He finally got it!! I pick fights with him! It's always over dumb things like his phone or today his laid back parenting style. You know his postion on child rearing...just let things happen and they work out. This is why today Ms. Thang was trying to throw away clothes that didn't fit so daddy would buy her new clothes. dry.gif
Then I get his message from this guy on my myspace..telling me all the rude and nasty things he wanted to do to me. rolling.gif Of course I turned it in, but where do these people come from. Another guy friend of mine from there said my new pic up is hot. It's my profile pic...nothing special. He lives in the same town but I've never met him and he asked me on a date. Told him no, I'm engaged. He wrote me back, are you sure you don't want to go out sometime? I'd love to take you. werido.

We're a little young to get numbers. Most people are in their 20s or older, but it is nice to be noticed! happy.gif

I always flag stuff. There are controls on myspace to report. I don't know if it works the same in canada as here. I'm trying not to sound stupid, but sometimes the pages are set up differently or worded differently. I've learned that the hard way. Look under the help section and it will give you detailed instructions. I hope that helps alittle

Okay, so that guy I told you all about before Christmas, the one who I had to "break-up" with even though we weren't really seeing each other and in fact had only known each other for a week or so? Well, I thought I had made myself clear and I didn't hear from him again for the rest of the break but then today I get a call from him asking where we stand. blink.gif I had been dreading facing my friends' questions but I figured that they would let me be and so far, aside from the raised eye-brow or two, they've left well enough alone. It isn't something I really want to talk about because that drags up the guy that I'm not with who I've pretty much been in love with for years and I don't want to go there right now. I want to focus on my classes which have just started and which are stressful enough. And my trip to England. Sorry. This probably belongs in the vent thread but this was where I brought it up before so I thought I return.

By the way, I told him I was busy (which I kind of was; I was in the middle of working out and it is the first time that I have in a while and didn't want to stop) then sent him an email explaining once again, how I feel. I don't want to talk to him over the phone because I was afraid I might end up yelling at him. I want to feel guilty about it but I'm quickly losing my patience with him once again.
Carnivale_HBO
^^^Gee, I wish I could help, but I don't have much experience with social matters. I think being blunt with him is a good idea, making your feelings crystal clear in as polite a manner as possible is about all you can do. I hope it turns out ok, let us know smile.gif!

But good luck with that. smile.gif

Seriously though, you said you don't want to talk to him or see him anymore, right? Don't respond. You have almost no choice.
Lenny9987
Thanks you guys. It's just one of those things that's emotionally stressful and I don't want or need that at the moment. Thank goodness my friends aren't pushing it with the questions. They know I'm a private person and that if I want to talk about it, I will. When I'm good and ready.

And I'm over the guilt of maybe being a little rude to him over the phone. I never expected to hear from him again and was disappointed that he called. I think (hope, pray, fingers crossed) that he got the message from my tone. But if not, then hopefully the email I sent will do the trick. If not, other than screaming at him to leave me alone, I don't know what to do.

I hope it works out! Emotional stress sucks and is the worst! An e-mail rejection is pretty clear, maybe he'll get the message (my fingers/hope/thoughts are all with you!).

I hope he stops contacting you Lenny! That's annoying! I think both the phone call and email should do the trick, if not your only option is to tell him bluntly that you don't want to see him

I know emotional stress it the worst. Sometimes we make things harder on ourselves than we have to. Maybe you should try to forget about it.

*Knock on wood* he won't bug you anymore!
