I didn't do that, but the Gap was having a sale today, and that made me happy :D

Pamper yourself, have girls' nights out, eat Ben & Jerry's and get comfortable being single again :)

I would say shoes...but thats just me.

Weird creepy experience...

The LAST guy I dated (I quit dating after this one, for good reasons!) was a real psycho stalker type. We went out on one date and then he didn't call me for about a month. When he called me, he said he had lost my number (yeah right) and had to wait for his cell phone bill to come in to call me. He asked me to go to dinner with him and I did.

He was very attentive and ended up "confessing" that during that month, he was trying to make it work with his ex-wife because she wanted him back (divorce wasn't final yet, but they were living separately). She treated him poorly, dated others while they were trying to work things out, and ended up dumping him again. That's when he called me.

I went out with him one more time, but figured out that I wasn't really very interested. He called me while I was at my daughter's baseball game and I didn't answer, because I was watching the game. He left messages at home and on my cell. By the time I got home and got the kids settled in, it was after 10 pm and I decided not to call him back that night. At about 10:45 that night, my phone rings saying it's a Florida call and I answered it, thinking that maybe something happened to one of my aunts who live down there.

Well, it was HIS sister, in Florida, calling me because he was very upset that I hadn't returned his call and he wanted to know what was going on. CREEPY! He kept calling and I told him, gently, that I didn't think he was ready to date yet. I told him he needed some time on his own to get over his divorce and his ex-wife. He kept asking me if we could just see each other as friends and I ended up getting meaner and saying NO, I don't need any more friends. He was driving me nuts. He had also mentioned that he has driven past my house.

I had to block him on Yahoo cuz he kept PMing me and I never answered the phone when it was his cell number on Caller ID. He finally stopped trying. About a year later, he called from out of the blue (I didn't recognize the cell number anymore so I answered). He wanted to know if I wanted to go do something as friends and I said no.

Today, I'm at the grocery store, putting my bags in the trunk of my car and some random guy walks by and says "Hi Denise". I'm thinking "Do I know this guy?". After he started talking, i recognized the negative self pitying attitude and realize who it is. I make a little idle chat but get my bags in the trunk. This guy remembers everything about me and is asking me detailed questions about my life. He even asked me if I still live in the same house and describes it! I was flabbergasted because... I DON'T REMEMBER HIS NAME! Three dates, that's it and this guy remembers every detail, including what my house looks like.

Turns out he is a sales rep for Nabisco and has all the local grocery stores here on his route.

I'm afraid to ever go grocery shopping again. This guy creeps me out so bad.

ETA: Our three dates happened TWO YEARS ago. How does he remember all this crap about me? Gawd, I wonder if he still has my number.

I can only think of one and ONLY one reason why...HE WAS FROM MICHIGAN!

GET OUT OF THAT DAMN STATE!

LOL... He actually just moved to Michigan a few months before I met him. I think he moved here from Florida, where his sister called me from. But, I don't even remember his name so I can't be sure that it was Florida where he came from!

Okay, so recently everything has been reminding me of my ex boy fling. Like I thought I saw him in the store the other day, our lil' song has been on the radio like extra, our favorite things keeping popping up.


GRRRR>....

i agree with AGDee...you need to be comfortable being alone. The fun part is doing all the stuff you can't when a guy is around. Watch every season of Sex and the City (or your favorite show) on DVD all the way through. All that stuff. also call your friends and tell them you need to get out of the house. Go to dinner, check out guys and remember that it's actually really fun to be single because of all the possibilities! I love it, I never understand why people hate being single....PM me if you need to talk!

Ummm . . . . oops?

Haha.

Hyperlink is a pretty chill club...my band played there when it was still called the Biograph.

...

only HotDamnI'mAPhiMu will know what i'm talking about

too many times, im afraid :( and its not always a fun time :rolleyes:

First date went really well with the hot guy once I finally asked him out. Once we finally went out, had a few technical difficulties along the way but oh well. And he actually called me already. Still working on date number two. And thank God, he knows how to kiss, I hate having to teach people how to kiss.

Its nearing the 2 month mark with the guy.. but I realized that I am only totally in love with him when I am drunk, the rest of the time I could take him or leave him.. so now i gotta decide is it worth hanging on to him a little bit longer or do I need to let him go now and how to do so nicely?

It doesn't help that the boy worships the ground I walk on...

Yeah, that's healthy. I guess you must be drunk a lot in order to sustain the relationship. :rolleyes:

haha...yeah I think that's called "I'm hammered and lowering my standards", not "love"...but if it works :rolleyes:

Random thought of the day: New relationships are so much fun :)

I heart the shoutout. :D

I mean this in the nicest and most concerned way possible, and obviously I don't know you so I am just going off what you post.

Have you considered talking to a professional about relationships, alcohol, and how it ties together with self esteem?

OT: HotDamnImAPhiMu I am sad you live back east (or that I live out west), we should have a sewing party and make fabulous things.

I think girls who brag about straight-up TAKING their best friend's husbands are complete pieces of trash.

Had to get that off of my chest.

You just jelis. :p

You know you want to brag about your HOTT sex life and the clothes you run up credit cards for on the intarweb. :)

I don't know if we're talking about GC or real life here, but I agree totally -- you've got some major self-esteem issues if you have to be stealing someone else's man just to prove that you're desirable.

I second everything everyone else has said. A couple of months ago my boyfriend (of almost 5 years) and I broke up... like for good. It was a pretty dramatic breakup.. it could have seriously been on The OC or something.. hahaha.

But yes- do things that YOU like.. hang out with the people you didn't see as much as you would have liked, pamper yourself with things you've always wanted. Life is so much fun being single... to be pretty honest I've come to realize it is way more fun being single and I feel silly staying w/ the ex-Boy all through college.

Since it was a very long relationship that you are coming out of, (and this is going to sound SO corny) use it as a learning experience. Identify what or why things went wrong, and keep on a mental Post-It so that doesn't mess up your next fabulous relationship.

If you ever want to talk, please feel free to PM me! I know what it's like to have to go through that.

Ugh, I guess guys that your friends have cheated on their boyfriends with(boyfriends who they "love" and would never break up with) are off limits.

I started to hang out with this guy who I later found out hooked up with one of my best friends (before he met me), and while she was still with her boyfriend.

And I'm in trouble with my friend and cant hang out with this really cool guy anymore :confused:

She cant have them all!!

I broke up with my GF last thursday and had my ex-fiance come stay with me for the weekend since she broke up with her guy last monday. She called me and asked if she could come see me and stay for the weekend. I thought she was going to let me hit it. Turns out all she let me do was feel on the cootie and titties while making out and I couldnt hit the next night because she started her period. When she left on sunday morning I called my GF up and had her drive down from Palm Beach and hit it within 10 minutes of her getting here. Why don't I feel bad about doing that? Its like nothing happened. I don't feel any different, and I'm back with my GF. When she asked what was wrong and why I needed a break for only a short time....I told her she kissed me way too much and that I felt smothered by it. And just like that it was like the weekend didnt even happen. It strikes me as wierd. Like maybe she's doing something behind my back. :o

HA girl, you own me a new pair of kitten heels cause I just spit my diet coke all over them. ;)

Internet STD Notification
 

So GC peeps, if you get an STD, you can anonymously let your partner or trick know about it.

"Tell your tricks, hookups, ex's, boyfriends and partners they may have been exposed to an STD."

Cards located here.


(Though how many people get the email address of their tricks?)

Um you forgot to tell us what BRAND your kitten heels are b/c seriously, isn't that all that matters? :o

You guys, last night I stole my friend's boyfriend because he was sick of her telling him the Harry Potter spoiler. Now he's on my couch and I don't know how to get rid of him. He says he wants to marry me but I don't think that's appropriate. How can I make him leave?

put on your kate spade shoes and kick him. ;)

Today the Boy mentioned cutting his hair. This is clearly not FOR me, but if it happens, I will view it as a special treat from Jesus and his angel posse.

How 'bout these as a replacement? They are called, "Slingback kitten heels."

I really need to get my mind out of the gutter because the first time I read it, I thought it said:

"Now he's on my CROTCH and I don't know how to get rid of him."

I guess if the sex were really THAT good like you say he is, I'd be on your couch too. Tee hee hee har har har.

Buy music he hates.

Buy clothes he would hate because other guys would look at you too much in them.

Eat lots of ice cream (as Dani mentioned the Edy's Light Slow Churned is ubertasty).

Do what feels right to YOU not what your friends think is the right thing for you to do.

***hug***

On a tangent . . .

for those of you who know what "the thong incident" references . . . I ruined my favorite kitten heels that night by walking through mud puddles in them.

I want my kitten heels back!

those are so very pretty and will go quite nicely with my BCBG skirt and theory sweater.

Now that could be creative revenge on an ex who has done you wrong...

Ladies,
