Ok everyone.... I'm starting to get confused as to who's with who, who's dating/ in a relationship and who's on hiatus... so can we get an update?

Are you dating/ in a relationship?

If no, why?

If yes, for how long, how "serious" and how did you meet?

It's funny, because I did it via email for fear of rejection and I wasn't sure how appropriate it'd be to call him at the station. Anyway I ended up bringing the emails here for discussion as I thought I was being blown off/rejected. Turned out he was flustered and not quite sure how to respond to me without sounding overly eager LOL


You ask guys out often? Girl, I wish I had that guts. I just sit there, trying to look approachable and hope with fingers crossed LOL The only reason I asked out NC was because while he was over I totally caught him eyeing me up more than once and he rec'd my subtle flirtations AND he asked if I had a boyfriend/sig other in a round about way. Otherwise I wouldn't have had the guts.

I'm horrible at math and didn't really "get" algebra until nursing school and learning dose calculations.

Relaxing?? LOL.... I can't even be in the same room with equasions without getting nervous.


I am probably the only science major who ever hated math so much. My dd laughs because she skates through equasions like they are nothing. Little brainiac!


Not that this is an excuse, but when I was in 7th grade, my math teacher Mrs Z treated anyone who was slow in math like dirt. We were scolded so bad. She verbally abused us and

Hey guys--I am still alive here just too busy to do anything but stop in every so often to attempt to keep up with everyone (and that is not easy!)


Are you dating/ in a relationship? Dating sporatically but nothing serious--no good prospects have come up. Last date was this past weekend--the guy showed up for dinner in a Pillsbury Dough Boy t-shirt (there were words--I didn't want to know what it said) and a flannel shirt over it, barely combed his hair--he spoke of living with his parents (at 29) and his 10 cats, 6 dogs and 2 rats! I wanted to die!


I do have a date coming up with a very young widow. I am not sure how long ago his wife died but I know that she had breast cancer and was sick for over 2 years--I haven't pressed for information. He has 3 kids--one teenager from a previous relationship and 2 younger ones with his late wife. His is only 33 and has his BA, 2 Masters degrees and a PHD--he is a Prof at two local universities and runs a non-profit program with a partner (they have a federal grant that resulted from his dissertation.) I googled him and he has an extensive background listed online (for professional reasons) that includes a 7 page resume and classroom videos...He is looking for a slow paced relationship...we'll see how it pans out...the date isn't until the 13th so I have a bit to wait but that's okay...I am in no hurry!
