He was distant the whole night and when asked about it, wouldn't really comment on it. So, I'm left thinking: why did he even come over if he wasn't thinking about pursuing the relationship. Then I think, well, he did come over so maybe he was just tired: but he didn't even give me a kiss goodnight, so I'm psyching myself up for a worse case scenario. And trying not to get worked up about it. I did really like this guy so...it's disappointing. And I'm not just referring to the sex part.” 1:15:24 PM 6/18/04 “Perhaps he really likes your cooking and was looking for a free meal or perhaps he also is afraid to just be honest with you about what he's feeling. Perhaps both. You deserve better.” 1:20:15 PM 6/18/04 “Well at least if he is thinking that then he's not going to use you for sex and then dump you. That's a no no on the PJ front Ewker, but I guess you know that already. ;o)” 1:23:58 PM 6/18/04 “Y2, why are you on the dating sucks thread? What happened to that hot little package you were showing off in a photo around the campfire?” 1:24:58 PM 6/18/04 “bring your PJ's? Why? they don't stay on.....” 1:25:57 PM 6/18/04 “yes, well, lets not talk about that one then Scorchie. She is damn hot though.” 1:26:52 PM 6/18/04 “LOL” 1:29:03 PM 6/18/04 “Nah, that's all over is what I meant. Some people will do the distance thing, others won't. Shame though :o(” 1:30:48 PM 6/18/04 “MtnMom2 If this is the same guy that you have referred to throughout your posts . .the one who flips back and forth . . .with whom you did flooring etc . .(its hard to keep the stories straight after 17,000 posts in three days) . . . then I think you already know the ultimate answer. the picture you have painted is that you are much more into the relationship than he is, that you are trying to find a way to make it work and that he is not, that you are going out of your way to participate (the flooring), extend yourself (the dinner), accomodate him etc and he is not. He sems to being going along, perhaps becuase he genuinely likes you, perhaps because he can't say no, because he doesn't want hurt you, because he doesn't want to rule you out as an option, because he wants the sex option available or whatever .. but he doesn't seem into it. Just my $.02 . . ..and only on what I've read here. Best of luck with it.” 1:37:48 PM 6/18/04 “thanks, Lee, yes this is bachelor #2, but this isn't the one that's been back and forth (that was #1) he called this week, btw, too and now I'm really in a dilemma. Well, not really, as I'm going to be a parent again for about 6 weeks (my boys are coming to stay with me). I love my kids, but they are getting to the age where you don't know whether to kiss them or kill them.” 1:45:48 PM 6/18/04 “Snafu, I wouldn't ask her that. Y2, see I am not totally stupid to dating. Just in case anyone is wondering, she is driving to my place. I offered to go and pick her up but she said she would just drive up.” 2:22:07 PM 6/18/04 mtnmom2 “12-15 years old are they ?” 2:23:29 PM 6/18/04 “That gives her an ESCAPE vehicle..... j/k” 2:27:23 PM 6/18/04 “you got it! sounds like you have experience.” 2:27:47 PM 6/18/04 “YUP! :-) GF/XGF's kids are 8 Girl, 12&13 Boys.” 2:40:46 PM 6/18/04 “ahhhhhh, Ewker, that was gonna be my question>> why aren't you picking her up and dropping her off at home? LOL! Does anyone else notice that for a man saying how he hasn't dated for years (obviously when married) and really isn't ready to get into all that, that the facts refute what comes out of his mouth? LOL! Give it up Ewker, you're itching to get back out there and YOU ARE, BUD! ;-P” 2:50:31 PM 6/18/04 “Back in the Saddle Again I'm back in the saddle again Out where a friend is a friend Where the longhorn cattle feed On the lowly gypsum weed Back in the saddle again Ridin' the range once more Totin' my old .44 Where you sleep out every night And the only law is right Back in the saddle again Whoopi-ty-aye-oh Rockin' to and fro Back in the saddle again Whoopi-ty-aye-yay I go my way Back in the saddle again I'm back in the saddle again Out where a friend is a friend Where the longhorn cattle feed On the lowly gypsum weed Back in the saddle again Ridin' the range once more Totin' my old .44 Where you sleep out every night And the only law is right Back in the saddle again Whoopi-ty-aye-oh Rockin' to and fro Back in the saddle again Whoopi-ty-aye-yay I go my way Back in the saddle again” 2:53:26 PM 6/18/04 “lizs, yes I am interested in getting back out there. In fact the few women I have met so far can't believe I have been divorced a month. Most tell me I have it more together than some guys who have been divorced a yr. I think most of that is due to how my marriage ended and when it ended. People I work with tell me I have been a lot happier since the day after the divorce.” 3:02:30 PM 6/18/04 “my thinking exactly, Snaf! (Escape vehicle - you were talking about ewk there right?) I sure don't have an escape vehicle” 3:14:39 PM 6/18/04 “Yup! Actually I hope works for Ewker and he gets lucky and all the good stuff, we need more LOVE in the world now-a-days.. No car? Well you got your "Escape" Hiking Boots don't ya?” 3:20:30 PM 6/18/04 “yeah, I do. the river is close by too. It'll be fine. We'll need a few days to get adjusted to each other. The local smoke-jumper school is having an open house tomorrow. gonna take them to that. my youngest wants to be a pilot.” 3:44:42 PM 6/18/04 “Everyone is different, but I would try and hold back my emotions/feelings when meeting someone new until I could see how they feel. It isn't always easy. You know that crummy, sinking feeling, when something doesn't work out when you wanted it to? I like to avoid that. Ewker, you are THE MAN. This relationship is really taking off.” 4:00:42 PM 6/18/04 “lipstick hiker, thanks. She is a very nice lady. But I have made it clear I am looking for friendship not romance. I want someone who is an outdoors type woman and won't be afraid of doing those things with me. It took me forever to realize that you have to be friends first. If your not friends first then the chances of a relationship lasting is slim. So far so good!!” 4:15:25 PM 6/18/04 “Friends with bennies?” 4:30:36 PM 6/18/04 “I wish more guys were looking for women friends. I agree. It's great to become friends first. This is why I have to break up with my BF next week. I don't have a friendship really with him. Heck! I think he is sort of obnoxious!” 7:00:12 PM 6/18/04 “Run from the troll pixie RUN” 6:37:52 PM 6/19/04 “If I were single, I'd spend my time at REI and on the trail. That is where I see the most hot women!” 6:56:30 PM 6/19/04 Always bring a Pen “I met Alex & Susan at a falls in Shenandoah. Hot little petite things from Germany living in DC for the summer. I spent about an hour with them but had to continue on. They asked for my number but no one had a pen. I will had that to my essential list from now on! Anyone know were I can get an Ultra Light BP pen?” 8:03:25 PM 6/20/04 “had=add.” 8:05:57 PM 6/20/04 go to walmart all nasty looking... “..that's how you get a date. afer my 6.3 mile run I had to stop at walmart for some groceries. Well, so I went all sweaty, no makeup... didn't really look my best okay!! anyway, so this guy in the fruit section asked me something about oranges. Hmm...thought that was strange, just by the way how he said it. I went to the car, and there he was again, this time he asked me out on a date. LOL Of course I had to decline...tssss he could've been my son. LMAO. The moral of the story..go to walmart after you run for an hour in 98 degrees of heat. You'll find a date!” 11:30:56 PM 6/20/04 “I'm here this morning barely. Great weekend. The dinner was excellent, the musical was great, the cold beers afterwards was good, the date fantastic. Sunday we took a nice bike ride, had to work off the lunch we had. Excuse me while I take a nap..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz” 10:09:00 AM 6/21/04 “you suck, Ewk! j/k I saw Bach#2 on Sunday: took the boys to get a couch & chair that he offered to give me. I had called him to chat and test the waters so to speak (he reminded me of this extra furniture he had). my youngest mowed some of his weeds (got $10). Not sure if he will ask me out again. Am wondering if I should now wait for him to call me. That is my thinking anyway. What's the concensus of the board? Am I being too forward?” 10:18:45 AM 6/21/04 “Uh, Ewker? So what about dinner and the musical!!! Did ya git laid is what we wanna know!!” 10:21:49 AM 6/21/04 “mtnmom2 - No pain, no gain. Go ahead and ask.” 10:22:58 AM 6/21/04 “mtmmom2, call him. You have nothing to lose. wolfeyes, whether I did or didn't isn't something I will say on here. You have to show some respect to each other.” 10:37:24 AM 6/21/04 “Wolfy- That means "no". LOL! Does my heart good to see ya out there in cuirculation ewker!” 10:40:16 AM 6/21/04 “Hi Nigal!! How's the dating scene for you? ;)” 10:42:23 AM 6/21/04 “Well, if Nigal's experience is anything like mine, he's found that marriage really puts a damper on your dating.” 10:43:09 AM 6/21/04 “Well, actually…my wife had surgery three weeks ago and it doesn’t look like she’s going to be “available” any time soon. Is it true guys will die without “it”? I thought about demonstrating the seriousness of my “condition” by coming into the living room pushing my balls in a wheel barrow. LOL! I need a girlfriend REAL bad!” 10:49:16 AM 6/21/04 “LMAO!! You poor thing! But I thought you had other means to take care of "things"!!” 10:54:12 AM 6/21/04 “Wellll, there is that. Like Rue Paul always says, “If ya can’t love yo self how the hell ya gonna love someone else?”. I try to love myself every day…sometimes twice. LOL!” 11:01:10 AM 6/21/04 “well, thanks for the advice; I am going to wait a day or two before I call him though (or maybe 3) Pretty soon I'm going to be in the same boat as Nigel:(” 12:14:35 PM 6/21/04 “Nigal go up to Canada and get a "Rub and Tug" Those girls can do things that you could never dream of, at least thats what I have heard... MTNMOM2, They have "rub & tugs" for ladies too, Not that I would know personally, but have heard it :-)” 12:17:09 PM 6/21/04 “yeah, right, Snaffy, no personal experience, eh? How's your life, BTW?” 12:18:38 PM 6/21/04 “Thou hadst best not touchesth thyselves. Thou wilt have to believe me when I say this: Spilling on the wall is bad.” 12:19:59 PM 6/21/04 “Honestly, I have never been to one of those, I went in to the desk once and questioned it, they are a littel expense. about $75 american for a 45 minute message with a happy ending. I chickened out...lol Also I figured, I could get alot of 7.5% beer with $75 american and drown my sarrows!!! LOL I have been doing fine, no more asprin everyday for the headache, no more tums for the stomach! I'm feeling great. I've been riding the bike every night (weather permitting) Thanks for asking mtnmom2 How have you been?” 12:29:57 PM 6/21/04 “Is that with tip?” 12:30:54 PM 6/21/04 “good, the boys haven't driven me crazy yet. (grin)” 12:31:52 PM 6/21/04 “I feel like I should go to a professional because I've never been. Of course it would be for more than a happy ending massage. It's the same reason I want to go to a Hooters, just more expensive...” 12:34:10 PM 6/21/04 “snafu, did you ever reply to my email. If so I never got it. You still having computer problems. mtmmom. what did your boys think about bach#2.” 12:35:00 PM 6/21/04 Jump to Page << prev
