Hi Priscilla-


It's so nice to see you here again with an update. You have bee missed! I have wondered about you and howq you were.


I'm sorry things are not going too well with you and the bf. But if you feel there is hope then there probably is. If you are a good match and you feel hopeful for things to work out, then give it time. Things can get better. But then I don't know what the probems are, if they are the unfixables or not.


Its great you are getting out there. The party sounded great! Spped dating sounds pretty fun actually..I'd love top hear the outcome! :o)


Happy to see your post..hope you're planning to stay awhile and do more catching up!

Of course I remember you Priscilla - good to hear from you!!!! Sorry to hear this one did not work - but I LOVE LOVE LOVE what you type:
"I have my priorities and need what I need from a R. "
Sometimes it means making a tough decision but you can't go wrong with that one.

Is this the one that you had the bike crash with? My memory is fuzzy.

My opinion of what to do now?

Make yourself the best catch you can - looks, activities, happiness, friends, whatever it takes to be all you can be - build it up. And then go for the best one you can find and be picky - date mindfully and shoot high. That way you won't have to deal with a dodo. I think the picky palace is the way to be.

Just my .02!

"In a relationship, both partners should feel like they're getting the best deal ever."

YES - thanks, moon, for remembering that wonderful quote from Soonee - it really is the best lesson for any of us. We all have to strive to be and get the best deal we can and not just date for entertainment.

totally my two cents ~ while i agree with the first part We all have to strive to be and get the best deal we can... I somewhat disagree with the latter. What's wrong with dating for entertainment? Unless by entertainment, you meant because you would be otherwise lonely or bored?.... I was thinking "entertainment" as in fun, exciting, and carefree. That dating

I think - and of course West can correct me- that she meant it more as this - where 'we' become the entertainment.

thanks for clarifying.. that makes a lot of sense. And i agree.


when i read that book i used to talk about all the time "How To Get A Date Worth Keeping"... one of the last chapters was a LONG list of reasons why you shouldn't be dating.. i found it a great check list to be sure i was dating for the right reason.


too bad i lost that book during my move... if i ever find it, i'll post some that part.
