Okay...I've called the Late Night DISers, now I'm calling the SINGLE DISers!

[legs22]

But the thought of selling the house and physically moving...finding an apartment and eventually a home, job, etc. is quite overwhelming.

I hear you! I don't know how I could do it all. Not to mention finding a nice place to live in a good school district and before/aftercare. But have you ever heard this question? How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. I have to keep reminding myself of this. I get so far ahead of myself. When I was in my 20's I had no problem just picking up and moving all the time.
I'm glad he emailed before it drove you over the edge.
By the way- any "hotties" in your classes? Or your mind is totally focused on you know who and you didn't notice?

I thought it was hard to meet people when I was in college. Then I learned what it was really like to have a hard time when I went to vet school. Then I REALLY learned what it was like to have a hard time when I started working. You know, somebody at that party made the remark that -- if they knew how hard it would be to meet someone after finishing school, they would have just picked someone back then and made it work, rather than waiting for Mr Perfect.

When I look back to college it was so easy to meet people then. Now- forget it. I met Mr. Not So Perfect in college and couldn't make it work. I might as well hold out for Mr. Perfect now.
Hey, stick around here! What was making you so upset?
And why do you have a month to slack on dating?

TB- Welcome back!

Disney- Never noticed the "user Cp" on the main page. Thanks for pointing that out.

HoP- I'm not far from Margaritaville- pick me up on the way down!
I also thought the Community thread was boring lately- sometimes it's so wacky it looks like the National Enquirer.

Barry- Sounds like you had a good trip. Cafe Risque huh? Then I'm sure you've enjoyed a steak at Rachel's.

Hi, FF...nice to see you back! We had a wonderful holiday. Way too short though. The moon! I was driving to pick up DS from after care yesterday. It was about 5:15 and still very light outside, but you could see the full moon in the sky! It was rather strange and neat looking. Last night was cloudy. Didn't get to see many stars. Hope your day is quiet.

That's true, Legs. Although I never moved much. I went from living with mom and dad until I was 29 and got married to getting our apartment to moving to FL in an apt. then to our home to moving to VA for one month (LOL!) to moving back to FL in an apt. to moving to my current home where I've been for 7 1/2 years. Not bad for my age. LOL! When I moved near my sister 8 years ago, she was the one who found me a place to rent. They faxed everything and I just signed. Hmmm...no one at the other end to do such a thing now. It would probably mean taking a weekend to go up and find something. Yikes! And I'm thinking I should let DS finish the school year and try to get this together for the summer. That seems sooooooooooooooooooo far away!

Hotties in my class? I haven't noticed. LOL! Hmmm...I guess my mind is occupied. Although I figure 99.999999 percent of them are too young any way. LOL! But I did have a nice little conversation with the guy...David...at Enterprise who rented me a van today. My van is in for brakes. He was cute. A little on the young side though. We were talking about how we're both tired of all the senior citizens in FL. LOL! I've had 15 years of them, David is just here 4 months from New York. LOL!

Wow PW, it sounds like you are really serious about the move. What does darling heart trob think? Isn't it to his neck of the woods?

Hi TigerBear! (I started to use your initials, TB, but realized that's short for tuberculosis )

Yeah, I know I'll never find the perfect guy but I've learned to keep an eye out for those dreaded red flags.

 

[floridaminnie]

Not hotties to look at over on my side of the world other than the one I'm reading in my book right now Was talking to my class about an upcoming fieldtrip and about needing chapornes. One young man raised his hand and asked if his brother could be one. I asked how old he was, when he came up with the "right" number I said sure. I'm so bad!

This is the fourth night in a row that I've made dinner. Creamy Crab pasta salad tonight and for lunch and dinner tomorrow. Didn't know it would make so much!

I've been busy getting my grades together as they are due Friday. Had to turn in a list of kids who failed today. Only 5% of my kids failed, which isn't too bad.

It was way too cold today for my blood. Need to start a fire in the fireplace tonight. Decided to head to WDW this weekend since it shouldn't be so busy now to relax!

No one is perfect, but you do deserve to find the man who is perfect for you!!

Agree with you 100% there TG!

PW, I've move too many times to count! If you need any help, eg. checklist, just let me know!

He hasn't said anything about it either way. But he knows I've been saying for years that I'm ready for a change. I actually found e-mail the other day where I said it back in 1998. And here I still am. The only thing I'm having a problem with is school. I'll really have to work there a year to get the resident rate at college. Without it, a class at the College of William and Mary is over $600! So I'd be looking for a job right away. Plus I need the money and the benefits!! Need that health insurance!!!!!!!!!! But I hate to have to stretch school out even further. Who knows...maybe I'll REALLY like the job and keep it, then add in a class at night. I'll be in school forever.

That's the truth! How many times have we ignored or overlooked the red flags? Too many times in my case!!

That sounds delicious, Suzanne. Although I'm not a fish eater. LOL! DS gets his report card on Friday. I hope it's as great as the last one was. And thanks for the offer of help with a checklist! I may take you up on that.

 

[BarryHom]

I ate fish tonight too. I usually eat chicken.

So I must ask a question...have you ever been so in love with someone and the other person doesn't return the favor? I've known someone for over a year. She feels like I do, but she doesn't think a long distance romance will work out. She doesn't want to try either. She doesn't answer very many of my e-mails, but I still have passion for her. I even think about making love to her during hard days at work. *sigh* What's a heart-broken guy to do?

Don't say "marry Suzanne!"

 

[Disney845]

"Work guy" called tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He was soooo cute on the phone....making small talk, he mentioned this place he had gone when his family was here visiting, and I mentioned that I like to do that as well, and he was like, oh we should go sometime (but just said it in passing)...more small talk....HE IS SO SHY!!! It is soooo cute!!! Then (after awhile and a pause) he said...so do you have any desire to go out again (maybe not those exact words...but that meaning). I was thinking NO! Of Course Not...but in a sarcastic way, but completely refrained from saying that because I know how shy he is...so I said "Yes!" (as sweetly as I could ) So we decided on tomorrow night because we both happen to have Friday off of work. I asked what he wanted to do, and he said, he would think about it and -get this- "surprise me!!!" Generally guys, well at least the ones I have been around, have no input about what to do, and want to leave it up to the woman! I LOVE that he wants to take the initiative and come up with something!!!! I am REALLY looking forward to it!!!!

On a side note about the age thing......I guess when he saw his family this weekend (they were visiting from out of town) he had mentioned that we went out on New Years, and his mom asked him how old I was (don't know why that question would come up, unless he had mentioned I was still in school). He told her he didn't know, so he asked me...now remember we have an 8 year age difference. After I told him, I was dying to add..."are you ok with that?" But didn't!!! (This age thing really freaks me out...I think I have gotten over my issue with it, but now am worrying that he would think I was too young for him....I mentioned it to a friend who said that he probably really likes that I am younger than he is, something about men really going for younger women...) His mom had appearantly jokingly said...she isn't 17 is she!!! Ummm no! That would be a little scary...not to mention illegal!!! Although sometimes I think that as a teenager my life was so much simpler than as an adult!

 

[Disney845]

OK guys.....can you tell I am excited/nervous about this??? Where is Sandy??? This is the one day she picks to not be online...who do I have to talk this to death with???

I was thinking...even if the first time was "hanging out" this one is most definitely a DATE!!! Please remember that with "friend" we were doing what we all on this thread laughingly referred to as "non-dating." So this thing with "work guy" is already in a whole different ball park! I am so excited about the prospect of a "real" date! OK now I just have to worry about what to wear!! Maybe I will go shopping tomorrow??? I have class in the am, then I have the rest of the day off (not working) and we are not getting together till about 6:30pm. Anybody want to go shopping with me for something cute to wear tomorrow night??

Oh, (((hugs))) Barry. My heart breaks for you. How well do you know this woman? How far away does she live? Long distance relationships can work, but only if both people are committed to making it work. I'm so sorry she doesn't seem to want to make a go at it. Btw, I think, ok *I know*, your fantasies are totally normal. Maybe it would be easier for you to move on if you don't email her so much? I know that would suck too. Sorry.

YEAH!! I can feel your excitement! I love it when guys plan too!

Just give it some time and see if it seems to matter.

Me, Me! What will you be looking for?

Thank goodness someone else is now online!!! I was going crazy not having anyone to share this with...


Hmmmm I have no clue...I did manage to clarify a bit...since I wasn't sure what "surprise" meant in terms of dressing style. I asked if it was "jeans" and he said that would be fine and that he would let me know in the future ( ) if I needed to "dress up" (although he didn't use that term)!!! I guess I will plan on jeans (or maybe khaki's) and a cute top then. I just LOVE shopping, plus a nice new outfit always makes you feel great!! Of course in the last 2 days the weather here has gotten much colder...was in the high 70s or so, now down to the 40s tonight.

 

[TigerBear]

So where are we going shopping?
