^^^its true, he looks like an aspie, lol.

i don't know what aspies look like - is there a specific "look"? for most of the relationship i felt like he was more socially adept than i was - but i think he was just better at not pissing people off. i don't think he really has any close friends in the emotional intimacy sense - well, except for one - but he's also fucking her, so i don't think that counts.

Having a romantic prospect (even when you know objectively nothing's going to come of it) sucks for the way the whole experience tries to remind you that how you normally feel is not right.

this, really. you think you've reached equilibrium and then bam, you're knocked over. (cquern)

what does that have to do with bryce?

I dunno, I just think when you use the word bam in a sentence you should make acknowledgement. (cquern)

i disagree.

I feel sometimes like we should start a thread for "ladies in their late 30s (and early 40s coz hey we don't discriminate on age) come together to talk about how the whole process or experience of dating has changed for us over the years (or, is different from the first time around, if we have just come out of a LTR)" because that would really, really help me get some perspective on things.
(Because every time I read this thread, I just think "oh, thank fuck it's not just *me*!" Because you know, I am just a weirdo, and maybe it *is* just me, but also, if I see really lovely and well adjusted ladies like in this thread having these same problems then I think "OK, it might be *me*, but it's not *just* me" if you know what I mean.)
Would anyone else participate (and not just to LOL @ Karen D.) if I started such a thread?

man, i havent had a breakup in over a year yall
mine was almost a year ago :/
― sarahel, Monday, 6 September 2010 06:57 (thirteen years ago) link
i broke up with my business yesterday though
― sarahel, Monday, 6 September 2010 06:58 (thirteen years ago) link
I had a semi-re-breakup. Took a nice trip around the south with my most favoritest ex-girlfriend in February and it was two weeks of being a couple again with the full understanding that when she went back home it was back to the status quo. And it was just that, until...she started dating some other guy. We originally broke up in 2004 and she's dated a zillion guys since then and it hasn't bothered me in a long, long time. But all of a sudden it bothered me again, and I stewed about it for a couple weeks at least. I don't regret that fun flirtation with the past (hell, it was my first time going to Mardi Gras in New Orleans), but it almost wasn't worth feeling that way all over again.
I'm glad I didn't bring it up with her, though. I almost did a couple times, but I realized it was just my own mental garbage I'd be dumping on her happiness.
My most recent real breakup (and not a re-breakup) was in 2009. I'm overdue.

now my ex is trying to nudge me towards a girl that I was initially interested in a month ago. part of me is enjoying bachelordom at the moment but I think this could be good for me. no more psychic chicks telling me they had visions of their future child and that i wasn't the father...WHILE WE'RE DATING.

Starting to realize that as much as the last two relationships sucked, being single for the first time in a couple of years has shook me a bit.Doesn't help that I'm not meeting anyone I really want to date and so many of my friends are in long-term relationships or married.

been there, milo, been there. you can always do what I do and splurge on/spoil yourself for a little while, take a break from looking, then come back after you've had a little fun and gotten used to it. don't know you so don't know if that'd work for you but it's helped me out.
― funky brewster (San Te), Monday, 6 September 2010 22:50 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah I made a decision today that I'm going to stop looking for the forseeable. I'm in two bands, I'm putting out a book, I'm angling for a promotion. I have more than enough going on.
