Wanted to drop in and say hello
| Wed, 02-16-2005 - 1:23pm |
Hi to everyone I know from when I used to be a regular on the board, and thanks to the CL for dropping me a line, sorry I never answered back but honestly life just got hectic for a while. Hello to all the new people too. I seem to have finally reached a balance in life again so I am looking forwards to getting back into discussions here and see how everyone is doing.

Hey J! It is good to see you out here! You need to fill us in on how things have been going for you over the last couple months! Any new relationship news? Any fun OLD stories?
Last I heard, you were dating a new-ish guy semi-seriously. What happened there? I got your email about the "send it on or your relationship life will be cursed". I was going to forward it but figured my relationship life has been cursed up to that point so maybe NOT sending it would turn my luck around! LOL. It might have! Since then, I have updated my profile/pictures on Match and done a couple other new things and I am starting to get a lot of winks and emails. I am meeting a new, fun guy this weekend and another has my # and I am having much more fun and success!
Hey Vex! I am so happy to see you! That new guy is over, lol. I had a nice time but it was more of a something to do for now than a hold me back he's the one kind of thing. He finally did something to justify breaking it off and we did, no hard feelings on my part or his. On the other hand, I decided to try out Lavalife and posted a profile this past weekend and I have two dates this week already, lol, and a couple of guys that seem interested. I did take a slightly different approach in my profile this time but it is not up to this boards standards, I assure you, but I like it and it does a good job of saying who I am, IMO. If you want to see it, my screen name is the same as here. I already read your post about the meeting. I wanted to jump in but I was like whoa, hold up and say hello before sticking your nose in.
(ok, and sorry about that email, I just had to send it, lol. I hate those things and never rarely forward them)
Life was just crazy thru the holidays and with starting a new job and blah, blah, blah. I was still coming online when I had time I just havent been posting.
Can't wait to start getting caught up on everyones OLD. Been reading a lot today and the NiceGuyOnline seems to have his head on straight for a guy, hehehe. A few new people and a lot of the same ones, a good mix going on.
Ok, ttyl

Oh well - at least it ended on a good note! Glad to hear things are going well. Woo hoo! 2 dates from lavalife! That is great! Well, this board usually has good ideas, but we will all admit to not knowing everything and what works for everyone! So how is the new job going? I forgot that you were starting one. I hope that is going well too.
And no problem on the email. It made me laugh but it definitely was one of those that I was like "hmm, if my love life has been cursed lately, maybe keeping it to myself will be a reversal of fortune!" :-)
Yup, a lot of us are still here and there are a lot of new people too. I was not on much for about a month or more during the holidays and busy work times too. I am just now in the last couple of weeks getting back to where I am posting pretty regularly. Everyone was concerned about me too! That's so nice.
Edited b/c everyone can make up their own mind about people.

Welcome back! It's great to see you here again.
>>Been reading a lot today and the NiceGuyOnline seems to have his head on straight for a guy, hehehe. <<
Well, bless your heart for saying so. That's not the most popular opinion to have around here. :)
The problem, I think, is that everyone appreciates blunt, honest talk- as long as we agree with it. As soon as it's aimed towards us, or is an opinion we vehemently disagree with, suddenly it's not "blunt, honest talk"; it's someone being a big doo-doo head jerkface meanie.
The ironic thing is that even though I recognize this scenario, I'm just as guilty as the next guy of falling prey to it. :(
Anyway, welcome back- this is a good board and it's nice to see someone who thought enough of it to return.
