Girls Night Out

Glad to hear about all the dating.
For me, it was just girls night out. Which I feel good about because us single moms need a night out. And sometimes it's not about meeting someone new.. okay I'm spinning the fact that I didn't meet anyone. But still. I had a good time for ME. The couple guys I chatted with turned out to have girlfriends. :-(
I have another guy friend who says he wants to take me out, BUT he's never really asked. I think that's lame. Plus, I'm not attracted to him. I see him more as a friend and even though I kept an open mind up to this point. (Since I told myself I'd go out with anyone at least once...) Well, I've known him for a couple months and he hasn't asked me out officially. I just see him a lot at my fave hangout. And his words this past friday to my friend was "I'm trying to close my options". And he points to me. And he says to me "I think you should be treated to dinner and treated right"...blah blah blah. I told him that I've never really taken him serious. That I think he says that to everyone. I did say I'd go out with him only because I believe in going out with anyone once (well, within reason) But, I'm coming to the conclusion of officially crossing him off my list. The attraction is simply not there.
But before you even have to tell me.... it is definately time for a new hangout. Time to meet a new crowd. Time to do different activities, etc. I know this.... I'll keep you all updated. Thanks for holding me accountable. I am looking forward to my brother and his girlfriend moving here.... more people to make plans with.... And the children will LOVE seeing their uncle.

All right, Loony, you've inspired me. I haven't been dating at all lately, and I also haven't been doing much of the girls' night thing, either.
In fact, lately, I've been all about school, work, kids, kids, work, and school.
So, I am promising myself that by the end of this year I will have gone on at least one real date, and will have spent at least three nights with my girls doing something fun. We're going to New York in a couple of weeks, so that's one night.
Moody- trying to be realistic and get out of this rut!

Cool... did I tell you about the book I'm reading to inspire me... "How To Get A Date Worth Keeping" by Henry Cloud.
the first part of the book talks about where to go, what to do to meet more people.. and the last half of the book is relational skills about dating. Essential things for me!!! I started reading the book in June of this year. And had my first date in two years by the end of June! The cover of the book says "Be dating in 6 months or your money back." And since June I've been on over 10 dates... I've lost count. The book has great advice and it worked for me.
Look forward to hearing your dating stories.
Hugs,
Loonybunny
That sounds like a great book. For me it's more that I just don't make time. When I do have free time, I seem to spend it cleaning or with my friends. Nothing wrong with that, but then I wonder why I'm still single! Nothing wrong with that either, but I've decided to make dating something I strive for.
