Boy I want to take you out~ For the ladies

I want to take you to someplace romantic.
You can order anything you want off the menu. Let's really have a good time.
You can relax and really unwind tonight...

Your ASS is going to F~R~I~E~N~D~L~Y~S!!!!!!

Ladies, here is your way to break up without ever having to say a word.
Here are the steps to breaking up via Friendly's restaurants.

Step 1. Baby, I want to surprise you tonight. It will be the ultimate surprise. Really talk the place up. Make him think he is going to Ruth Chris or the Charterhouse.

Step 2. Blindfold him while driving to Friendly's.

Step 3. Enter parking lot. Remove blindfold. Take a picture of his reaction.

Step 4. Walk in...Table for two. Ask to sit around a lot of kids. They add to the ambience.

Step 5. Encourage him to order the steak since he was thinking Charterhouse or Ruth Chris. HaHa

Step 6. After eating, encourage dessert! Go all out as your parting gift to him!

Step 7. Drive him back to his place. Drop him off with a handshake and say...

Let's keep this f.r.i.e.n.d.l.y.
Now girls, try this out next time and please tell us how it works for you

F- You, Facebook

Facebook seems to keep evolving.  It also seems to keep wanting to rub my failed relationships in my face.

Not long after Y and I broke up was about the time Facebook's big thing was to suggest getting back in touch with friends you haven't contacted in a while.  Remember that?  The friend's picture would appear in the corner and Facebook would tell you to send them a message.  It kept telling me I should get back in touch with my ex.  F- you.

Now, Facebook's big thing is to remind you of what you posted at this time one or two years ago.  I don't normally like to post personal details on Facebook, so normally this wouldn't be an issue, but at the time I was so happy with my new relationship I couldn't keep it to myself.  So Facebook reminded me of that the other day.  F- you.

What other ways will Facebook come up with to rub my face in the things that didn't work out?  F-ing F-book.

Dear Skeptic

Dear Skeptic,

I'm writing to encourage you to get rid of online dating ASAP!

This is a service you do not need!
Your beautiful, intelligent, athletic, and much much more!!!

These guys seriously all have something wrong with them. The following are types of men you can encounter off an online dating site: super clingy, not knowing how to communicate, not caring about the other person, looking for the quick bang, no personality, nothing worth talking about, or worse like living in their mama's basement.

Once I told an onliner that I was going running and would talk to him later. Within an hour time he texted me. Called me. Called me again leaving a nasty message that I'm avoiding him. I called him back flipping out calling him a psycho and to loose my number! A.S.A.P! He said sorry I thought you were avoiding me.
I said still lose my number, psycho! HaHa That was the end of that one.

No need to strech these dates out to four dates! One date and that is it! You know when someone is right for you! Go with your inital gut!

It is never wrong!

~F~O~R~G~I~V~E~N

"Lord, if my brother sins against me, how often must I forgive?
As many as seven times?"
Jesus answered, "I say to you not seven times but seventy-seven times."

I LOVE it! This is straight from the gospel. Matthew 18:21-35
How does the gospel fit in with a dating blog?
Give me a hot minute to tie it all in.

I  have forgiven all past boyfriends and don't hold any grudges.
Does that mean I want to talk to them again? No way! The gospel just says to forgive! Not that any contact is required! Woot Woot for that one!

I always seem to reflect on the losers around my birthday (September 17.) I dated a classic birthday forgetter. We were on and off for two years. The first year he "forgot my birthday." I got rid of him for it! I even reminded him! We got back together around February. He forgot my birthday AGAIN! For his birthday, as part of his gift I bought him a planner!!!! Unbelievable!!!!
Was that just a way to break up? I should have bought him a set of balls then instead of the planner.

To the others: All is F~O~R~G~I~V~E~N
Now erase my number and or email address and call it a day...

Thank You...

Beginning, Middle, and End

I think each person you date helps you in some way.  You learn a little more about yourself, what you want, how to deal with different types of people.  Or maybe you just have a little fun for a while.  I'm not yet sure what will have gotten out of dating EF in the long term, but for right now I can chalk it up as another experience.

I met EF online.  I suggested meeting right away, because I hate all that online dating emailing BS.  Our schedules didn't align for several days, so we ended up texting and talking on the phone for a few days before we met.  I saw potential.  First date was dinner at a Thai place (which was excellent!  added it to my list...), and then drinks.  I thought he was easy to talk to.  Potential.  So I agreed to go out again.  Second date was sushi (also excellent...), and drinks again.  By this time I wasn't sure.  In between the dates was more texting and talking, and he started talking about how much he liked me, and probing me for what I felt about him.  With the constant contact and the too-soon affection, I was feeling a little smothered.  And beyond all that, I just didn't know how I felt about him.  I still liked talking to him, and I had a good time, but I wasn't looking forward to seeing him.  I don't expect things to be all swoony or anything, but shouldn't I at least want to see him?  I was kind of apathetic.  Still, I agreed to another date.  I felt it would only be fair to give him one more shot. 

Third date was a trip to the shore.  I brought bagels for the road.  We staked out a spot on the beach, walked along the shore, made out a little with waves crashing against our legs (okay, maybe a little unfair, I know, but I was willing to go for a test drive)--it was very romantic.  But... it was purely circumstantial.  I still just wasn't feeling it.  Sitting on the beach, I just wanted to lay around and enjoy the atmosphere and take in the lovely sun and wind, and maybe talk--I thought it was a great opportunity to keep getting to know each other.  But he kept trying to cuddle me and make out.  I was like, dude, there are families around...  I don't mind a kiss in a semi-private area, but keep it PG, please.  That's my rule about PDA's--keep it PG.  I'm not going to roll around in the sand half naked with you in front of a bunch of children.  I didn't really want to, anyway.  Anyway, I was definitely feeling suffocated.  I was glad when it started to look cloudy with impending rain, so I suggested we leave.  After a quick bowl of soup at a local pub, we drove back north and I went home.

After that, I was pretty sure I was done.  Problem was, I became really wimpy about breaking it off.  I hate doing that, and to be honest, I'm usually the dumpee, so it isn't something I've had to do very often.  That week I got really busy at work and had a couple of 12-hour days, so when he suggested that he make me dinner, I caved.  The mistake I made was letting him come over to my place.  If I had gone to his place, I could have left whenever I wanted.  But if he came to my place... he would linger.  *yawn*, I went.  *yawn yawn*  He was still there.  *yawn zzzzzz* he was still there.  I had to practically play dead before he finally said, "you should go to bed--I'll go home now."  I didn't want to be rude, but finally!  Yes, please leave!

I just had to build up the courage to rip the bandaid off.  Rip it!  I avoided him for a few days, until finally he texted me, asking if I wanted to get together on Friday.  I replied back that I didn't think it was a good idea.  I wanted the feelings to be there, but they just weren't.  It wouldn't be fair.  I'm sorry.  *rip*

I feel like a big jerk for doing it over text.  But I have to remind myself that it was only 4 dates.  This guy was practically composing our wedding invitations.  I'll feel like a jerk for a while, but I really just have to move past this.

On to the next, I guess.  *sigh*  I really hate dating.

Trying to stay positive,
Skeptic

'Cause you're hot and you're cold

A friend (a guy, FYI) gave me a good line for ending a budding relationship:  "I really wanted the feelings to be there, but they just aren't."  Sounds like a new way to say "It's not you, it's me."  I like it.  I don't love breaking up with anyone, but I can honestly say that.

In other news, smacktalk about sports (in this particular case, college football) is an excellent way to flirt.

I promise I'll write more about all this once the dust settles.

My former friend's Ex Mr. Halfaster

Dear Mr. Halfaster,

When I ran into you coming home from NYC that day, that was all the catching up I was looking for.

I don't want to go for wings. Don't want to go for ice cream.
Don't care to hear songs. Don't want to go for coffee.
Don't want to talk about running. Don't want to go to bars.
I just don't want to be reminded of past issues.
Is there anything wrong with that? Nope. Not at all!
Here's to hoping you read this!!!

Cosmopolitian: September Edition

Dear Cosmo,

We are breaking up! I'm now getting Self.
Used- to- be- Love,
The Disbeliever

P.S. Postal workers: Please loose my Cosmo magazines over my paychecks...
Thank you!

Some Glee girl is on the cover. I don't like the show at all. Don't know the girl!

Some highlights are: "How He Knows You're The One" (p. 67) What that hottie Blake Shelton is looking for in a woman? He his BFF; you stick to your guns; you chill at his turf; you flaunt your talent; you don't overtalk; you bond with his boys; and your happy hanging out at home.
Blake Shelton! I'm here waiting for you! Too bad you're married! Bummer :(

"101 Things About Men" (p. 85) I wish I could just post this hot ass guy's picture. WOW!
27% of men NEVER taken nude pictures of themselfs. Let's get on that boys!

"Found: Your Future Boyfriend" (p. 87) Lighting and exterior painting. Attend a workshop at Home Depot. According to the store, more men attend these workshops than women. I was thinking about going. Of course I'd write a blog on it.

"Are Some Guys Just Not Wired to Marry" (p.170) Apparently there is some type of "gene" that is linked to men who aren't down with the idea of getting hitched. How can a gene be linked to a decision? I don't get it!
That is not possible. Nor is it scientific!

Over this magazine!

Girl's Night Facebook Talk

Are these guys serious with their pathetic actions?
Then I realize, YES they are! I'm happy to write this blog. I hope it helps some of you guys out!!!! Onto the topic of FACEBOOK~

I have to share a story I heard last night from a girl friend. I hope she doesn't mind, but then again she only reads this blog once every four months! Step it up girl! Just joking! Read more! So here is her story:

This all happened on "The Facebook."
Random highschool guy from class of 2003: Hey how have you been? I haven't heard from you in ages. Let's catch up sometime over drinks or something!
Friend: Hey good to hear from you. I moved out of the state and working in a (insert state here.)
She was thinking obviously this guy didn't even read my profile!
Random Hghschool Gy class of 2003: That is great news! I moved too and got a job in the city. I do computer work. I was working on cartoon characters animation. It led me to drink. I started to develop a drinking problems. Thankfully it is much better now!

* My friend said that type of response will not get validated with a response back from her! Don't blame you, girl!

Is that really the type of impression you want to leave on someone after 10 years? Really? HaHa! It's just too funny not to post!

My problems with Facebook: Random pokes! Random messages and comments left. It just annoys me! I had a guy only randomly message me at one point. He never asked for my phone number!

I don't think people dating should be Facebook friends either. DEFRIEND! My Facebook goes back to 2007! Your sense of false knowing me can go all the way back to 2007. It's just not right! Let's get to know each other the old fashioned way. Let's DATE!

What else do I hate about Facebook?
I hate it when guys say, "Hey call me!" Guess what? You have my number!
What is that?

 Other news... I WILL not renew my Cosmo subscription... I'll do the recap of that next! I'm over it and getting Self now.
How much can a girl read about the same stuff over and over again?
Do you think guys are reading 100 ways to get naked now? No, they are not! They are just getting naked now instead of reading about it!

Here is an article I read off the Cosmo website:

How to tell if a guy really likes you:
  • You hear from him between the hours of 12 p.m.-5 p.m.
  • He emails (Your his escape while he is "working").
  • He will take you to lunch.
He is just not that into you if:
  • You're going to bars near his house
  • You hear from him after 11 p.m.
  • He calls you super sloshed looking to see you
I will now be getting my Cosmo information off the Web site.

Bye bye, Magazine.

  • Tighty whities
  • In 20 words or less, what's the best compliment a guy's ever given you?
Skeptic, please blog! I think he is not the right one if you're questioning so much already. If a guy is making you question so much he is NOT worth your time. Or are you just being "The Skeptic?"
Men, you can not assume ANYTHING! Be very clear with emotions! Better yet actually have emotions! You can't buy them at a store.

I still have that half-faster bothering me. Former friend's ex. Today he sent me a text asking about the "RICE" method. He injured himself while running. I told him to RICE it. First time I told him what it means. Now he wants to know again! Look it up on Google and stop bothering me if you don't know what that means. Nothing will ever amount here. It  is "A.W.K" when you said you have to tell me something. Then he just said forget it, never mind!
At least be man enough to say it! Thank God you didn't bother though because the answer is NO! I'm not interested. I don't want to hang out! It is weird! I can picture you with a former friend. G~R~O~S~S

Guys lately have just been blah. A few hang outs and nothing amounts from it.
I get the random I'm-going-to-talk-to-Disbeliever-for-a-few-days-and-then-fade-awaY. Or they comment on a lot of facebook pictures. Hmmm my pictures are made for commenting, boys. I just don't know! It is hard to find the right guy because I know exactly what I want.

Let me end on a postive note. It only takes one guy to find the right one. My next boyfriend will be the one! That must be the reason I have been single for soooo long.

Oh yeah. I also set my wedding date for September 14, 2014.
We have a deadline! Goodnight!
