hi everyone,

with the support of the women on this board, I went ahead and wrote him an email saying it's time to go back to no contact. Well he wrote back that he understands, and I should feel free to write if I need a friend. So I replied, saying thanks and would he please let me know if his house sells, if he's gonna move, etc. So he wrote back that yea, he'll let me know, but probably nothing will happen- and then, "nothing ever happens." and then (and this is the weird question) he wrote "remember, you're the bomb!" What does that mean? Is that some kind of expression that I've never heard? It's not any kind of inside joke or anything; I have no idea what he's trying to say?? Any ideas?? Thanks!

HI Mama

I think it means sex bomb, or a hottie that sort of thing.

Now it is time to stop the e-mails and get to the NO CONTACT part.

You have taken a great first step don't let it get side tracked by flattering e-mails or any other type of bait.

Stay strong

thanks free- yea, we are both on the same page as far as no contact; i know he's not throwing out bait because he's the one who is resistant and I'm the one who was kinda more into him... he could be saying i'm hot, although he doesn't usually say stuff like that...?? there is the word "bombshell..." but he said "bomb"... thanks for the input and i'd really like to hear from others as well...

Hiya Mia,

"You're the bomb" is kewl-dood kid-speak for "you're cool," basically. My neighbour's kids tell me I'm da bomb for chucking their soccer ball back over the fence for them lol!

Wishing you strength & peace,

Posie

Yeah, "You're the bomb" is like saying, "You're the greatest."

Sort of like saying, "Geez...it's so cool of you to be so understanding."

For some stupid reason, I just remembered when I was a kid, I heard my dad say, "Foxy Laaaady!" about some woman he saw walking down the street. It sounded so weird coming out of the mouth of a 45+ year old man, even if it was the 70's. It just seemed like the word Foxy was reserved only for the 25 and under crowd, and off limits to anyone older than that. I wonder what hep lingo is being used these days that I don't know about? Hmmmm.

oh, thanks both of you-- that makes much more sense....lol i guess i'm not cool and i'm only 34!!! :) but yes, that makes sense.

meanwhile, I broke no contact and sent him a crazy email. i feel like i never know how he feels for me.

well listen to his reply: "we're just friends. i could never leave my wife." (i've already told him i don't want anything of that sort- just to see him from time to time, which he won't do). and then, "and you know that i've got the hots for you." (which I was never quite sure of, and still kinda don't believe. how could he? i'm not hot...)

well so, back to square one, we're just friends, he's got the hots for me, and he doesn't think we should see each other. none of that makes any sense and that is why I initiated NC this time- because i think he just wants me to be available when he needs me. for excitement, or to know that he's still attractive- or whatever, maybe just for kicks. or maybe he does feel strongly for me and just can't say it. so then why wouldn't he want to see me again??

anyways, we are definitely in NC, this time for sure.

thanks for the support.

mama mia.
