I hope that you feel better soon, Shy. I have been a little cranky this week too but for me it is largely hormone related. I am having dinner with a friend tonight and then looking forward to a relaxing weekend. I am going to clean my house and do errands and have Sunday brunch with friends. Tomorrow night I am going to have a horror movie marathon all by myself and I am really looking forward to that. Now I just have to make it through today without snarking at anyone...
At least it's Friday! As for J, who knows what's going on with him. I hate the early stages of dating when we have to sort of tiptoe around one another and try to imagine what the other person is thinking because it's too early to just ask. It can be really anxiety producing. I hope that you have a nice weekend and feel better.
I understand. I have definitely had weeks like that. This one is not as bad but it's up there. Mine is hormone-related, too and I know most of us can understand. Nothing like bloating to make a girl's day. :-)
I hate that part of dating too- no one calls the other one and there's the waiting X amount of days and all that crappy stuff that no one really likes but does anyway. It's definitely frustrating.
Maybe this weekend you can go somewhere and try something new. Having a little adventure and independence makes me feel better about myself and my life if I'm down in the dumps.
It's now after 5 your time on Friday, and I hope the weekend brings better things! :)
Sounds like you might need a break from this "friend." She's pushing your buttons big time. (and why does she have the right to forbid you to call J.? That would have annoyed me as well).
I know what you mean about being rejected by someone who you didn't think was the hottest thing since sliced bread - it's really annoying. I went speed dating with a 3 friends a couple of weeks ago. I have had luck with it in the past but not so much this time. I had one mutual match and it was not the guy that I liked. Of the 32 men there, there was one that I really wanted to see again but I chose about 5 so that I could at least get back out there. I had 10 "missed opportunities" which means that 10 men that I had NO interest in chose me. Only one of the 5 chose me and it was not the one that I liked. One of my girlfriends had the same problem. When I saw her at a party a couple of days later, she was really ticked. I remember her saying, "I better not have been rejected by that guy who was missing teeth and smelled bad." Hehe.
When I was in Jacksonville with colleagues from around the country (all of whom are married) they were all saying that they couldn't beleive that I am still single, etc. and asked me why I have not been dating much lately (I used to date a lot). I just said, "Why go out when people just disappoint me?" Not that I always feel this way, I am generally a pretty upbeat person. But lately I just don't want to be bothered with it all.

AJ, enjoying life with C.
Thanks, Jules.
I would love to find some adventure this weekend.
This "friend" is a collegue, so I can't take a break from her.
Thanks, Stacey. I'm sure going out with you would be a blast.
