Calling all the single girls...
| Fri, 12-05-2003 - 1:57pm |
All right, girls, let's dish...
We keep hearing about all of our married buddies and their DH's and DD's and DS's (anyone else feel like sometimes they're speaking a different language?!), but let's talk about dating and being single for awhile :-)
Anyone notice any differences in their dating lives or with their BF's since starting SBD?
Anyone feeling more confident about asking out somebody you would have been afraid to approach before?
Anyone getting approached by guys you've seen around before but have never made a move?
Anyone MAD about how guys are reacting?
I'll post first...

Me, I'm single, but am I REALLY loving it? At times yes, at times HECK no. However, it's where I am supposed to be right now.
I'm so oblivious to the males looking at me, so I don't know if I am looking any different. As for confidence, yeah, I have more. It is a great feeling.
Losing weight has never been about a guy,a guy's reaction, or anything like that. I am me, and if doesn't like that, well, the next one will ;)

I think the biggest change for me has been the confidence/ego boost out of it all. I'm a total flirt, always have been, always will be, but now I have more confidence about initiating the flirting than I did two months ago...then I would totally flirt BACK if someone else started it, but I would rarely start it because I was a little afraid they wouldn't respond, and how embarrassing is that? Now, I totally start it whenever I feel like it! I'm also a lot less focused on my LDR guy, which could be good or bad depending on who's looking at it and how...he has no idea I'm doing this, and we've been having problems lately anyway, which I would have REALLY been obsessing over before and now I'm less worried about it. We're on hiatus and allowed to see other people, so I think I just might do that for awhile :-) I wouldn't have been thinking this way awhile ago, and I wonder how much has to do with SBD and my results from it.
Anyone else want to jump in?

Just two more words, like I always feel I have to say - be careful!

Shan, I'm single and I have a DD, so that puts me in a third category, I guess.

Good luck with EHarmony! I did Match.com for awhile, met a guy I dated for a couple of months. My favorite dating experiment by far has been HurryDate, where you have 50 3-minute dates and then fill out a little card about who you do and don't want to see again. I met a great guy through that, although unfortunately I moved out of the city before anything really developed. We're still friends, which is good :-) HE remembered my birthday, even though my LDBF forgot it!

So, when was your birthday? I saw on the other thread that you are a Scorpio like me...so it had to be in the last month. Happy Belated Birthday!!!
So, now that you and LDBF have decided to see others, you can "turn it up a notch" for those guys eyeing you up at work!!! Go for it!!!
Hugs to you!!
