Who doesn't like a good rabbit stew? :confused:

I GOT A DATE TO MY FRIEND'S WEDDING!!!! WOO-HOO!!!

Now, I just have to break the news that the hotel was out of double beds, and we have a king sized bed. For some reason, I don't think he'll be too upset.

So now I am even more confused. My NBF that is deployed right now and called yesterday. I had not talked to him since he left over a month ago. And he called me.

I emailed him and told him that is was nice to talk to him.....

His reply....I had to talk to my favorite person....

Why can he confuse me when he is oceans away

Oh boy, I am so confused and don't know what to think now. I guess I am a believer that things happen for a reason. I was so pissed off that Brian didn't call after our two dates two weeks ago. SO pissed off. But in reality, it just opened the door for something else.

Dave (known amongst my friends as "Barbri boy" because I met him in bar class) was home for Thanksgiving (he's living and working 3 hours away). I went out with him and some of his friends. We've always joked to each other about liking each other- but neither of us ever knew if the other was serious. We talked all night. And we definitely DO like each other. He's been sorta seeing somewhere where he lives, but he's not really into her. Nothing happened with us, not even a kiss, which I was kinda annoyed at, lol. He said he wants things to happen when the timing is right. He's planning on moving back to Pittsburgh, because he doesn't like his job and doesn't like the small town where he lives. He's wary of getting into something over a distance, I think (for the record, neither one of us was drunk b/c we both had to drive). I don't know. He called me to make sure I got home okay, and we talked for another half hour. A lot of stuff was said that you don't say to someone unless you're really into them.

So I have no idea what's going to happen, but i'm happy about it.

Just goes to show that the whole "when one door closes another opens" thing can certainly be true.

Is it way too early to be planning trips to Mexico in March with this boy?

Probably, but I'ma do it anyway.

This world would be such a better place if every girl had a hot Army captain all to herself.

Take it from me....military guys are trouble...stay away exp. from aircrew.......T-R-O-U-B-L-E

I think that's a very unfair stereotype. Very, very unfair. I know that you're in the service, so maybe that's why you think the way you do.

Where I live I am literally surrounded by Navy, Army, Air Force, and Marine bases. It's a given that no matter where I go, there they'll be! If I meet a military guy, I won't drop him just like that based on his profession. I'll drop him if he's a big asshole. On the other hand, I know of girls who troll the bars in search of military guys because that's the only kind they like. :rolleyes:

The guys I hang out with on a weekly basis are all Army pilots from the 125th at Wheeler. Luckily they've been nothing but respectful to me and my chapter sisters. It's a big shame though, because these guys are actually a decent bunch who'd make any girl happy. I hate going out with them and seeing them meet women, only to get the shaft because these women get brainwashed into thinking that all military men are evil. Very unfair.

And speaking of Army captains:

KillarneyRose remembers the fellow from West Point from a few years ago, I'm sure. The above guy was his old roommate..and my Thanksgiving date.

First let me say I am active duty military. And I date military aircrew members and 90% of the gyuys I hang out with on a daily basis are military. They are fun to hangout with but they are trouble. Trouble in a good way. But you have to be willing to play the game to be with them.

I've been with a Marine, Army Airborne Infantryman (one of my ex's), and an Air Force. All were asssssshooooles. BUT... those were my experiences. I'm sure there are plenty out there who are great guys. Actually my ex's old roomate was one of the sweetest guys and is now married with kids.

Sandy... the guy I know in the Air Force I believe is in Hawaii!

eta he's in Kailua

Kailua...one of my favorite towns. It's beautiful as hell there, and hopefully I'll be able to one day buy a house there!

And that's where Dog the Bounty Hunter lives too.

Dog is sooo much fun

I hate playing phone tag.

So I went back to Matt.

We shall see how this goes on a week by week basis.

Thanksgiving was great. He impressed my family with his culinary skills. I had no idea he was such a talented cook. Now we're going to renovate the kitchen so we will have a place to entertain.

Yummy..... I have my own West Point boy... Or I did awhile back. He is now graduated and has a girlfriend. :(

BUT, he will be at Ft. Hood in just a couple of weeks! Yay! I will at least have a friend who will keep a look out for guys that I should meet. :p

Strange night last week.... Went out with the new cute boy and his friends, and who shows up? My Georgia boy. I know they are good friends, but I don't think he knew that there was something going on with me and his friend. At lest new cute boy didn't seem bothered by it. :)

GGRRRR!!!! How many times are you going to reschedule our date?!?!?!? Good lord boy, get a datebook!

Ok, that's enough. I actually understand. Finals are coming up, group meetings happen at the last minute. They sure did when I was there.

But damn. Ok then... Tomorrow night. If he rain checks me again, we will have problems. :rolleyes:

Have you ever lost a crush or feelings for someone in a near instant?

I remember the first time I realized this could happen- seventh grade, a guy i thought was gorgeous from afar. I got within proximity of him and heard him talking, crush gone in an instant.

I've had a crush on someone since late May, and actual feelings which developed more recently. After our conversation last night, my only feelings towards him are "numb" and "indifferent." Kinda sucks, because I really liked him.

Hypothetical situation for the ladies
 

Ladies, let's say that you have the greatest boyfriend in the world. You two are crazy about each other. You love each other very much, you're best friends and you just know that he's the one. But you've only been dating for 6 months. You also happen to have a great female friend that you consider one of your best friends. She's been with her boyfriend for 6 years. Your best female friend is a little antsy and really wants to get married. She's talked about marriage with her boyfriend of 6 years and he wants it too only he hasn't proposed yet. So your girlfriend is doing the Marissa Tomei in "My Cousin Vinny" stomping her foot on the ground complaining that her biological clock is ticking (you get the idea).
Okay, now your boyfriend of 6 months tells you one night that he doesn't want to spend another day without you and you feel the exact same way he does. So he tells you he wants to propose at Christmas time. You're all excited because you want to say yes. However, you're slightly afraid that your friend is going to be mad at you and bitter with you because your boyfriend who you've only been with for 6 months is proposing before her boyfriend who she's been with for 6 years.

So, now that all the background story is laid out. How do you tell your friend that you're going to get married before she is without her getting mad at you?

Yes - in fact, that was usually how it happened with me.

Kind of a funny story; so I'm at a formal with this girl who I have a crush on. We've been out a couple of times, just hanging out, but I think she's cool. She was kind of tired when I picked her up, but I didn't think much of it. Well, about 2/3 of the way through the formal, she puts her head down on the table and falls asleep.

That right there was what you would call a deal-breaker for the crush.

Re: Hypothetical situation for the ladies
 

Bottom line, what you want is what matters most here. You are going to do this whether she is upset or not.

If she is really your best friend, she will be happy for you. Yes, she may be a little bit jealous.... But I'm sure she loves you and cares as much about your happiness as you do about hers. There have been times that my best friends and I have been jealous of each other (I'll admit I was a little bit jealous when my best friend got engaged), but we have ALWAYS been happy for each other above and beyond that (I think I cried more at her wedding than she did haha). I'm sure she will feel that way too.

Oh, and I of course am assuming that you're talking about yourself... and if that is correct then.... CONGRATULATIONS!!!! :)

Re: Re: Hypothetical situation for the ladies
 

Hahaha, I am talking about myself. But it's not official yet. But thanks for the advice.

Re: Re: Re: Hypothetical situation for the ladies
 

Still very exciting for you! I'm sure your friend will be happy for you. ;)

Someone sent me this and I thought it was hilarious

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...a/image001.gif

His coworkers said, "If we pay for the tattoo, will you get [name of company they worked for] tattooed on your ass?"

He did it.

I stopped crushing.

Rightly so.

Ok, so he finally stoped having to reschedule our date and... We had a great time!!!

We didn't do anything too crazy.... he loves to play poker, so he invited me to a game with him. He was SO nice about the fact that I didn't know what I was doing, and I even ended up winning money! Woo hoo!!! Then we just watched a movie....

Things are definitely different from a year ago when we spent time together. I like the way he is treating me now.

And he wants to take me out on Saturday night. I am happy with this so far. :)

:eek: :eek: More crazy news... My army boy apparently just broke up with his girlfriend. Aaaannndd.... He will be in Texas in another week or so and wants to hang out. Hhmmm......

New boy is too nice its starting to turn me off plus he's recently started talking himself up waaay too much. Dont boys realize that we dont like someone who gloats that much? Sigh...

No, I don't think they realize that. I hate it when guys take themselves too seriously. :rolleyes:

The other day it just got way out of hand how serious he was taking himself and jokingly I turned around and said "ego much?" He calmly replies "no its not ego I just know I have a lot to offer to a girl and I take pride in that..."

:eek: He actually said that? Goodness. I mean, I suppose it's ok to think it (we should all think that we have a lot to offer someone) but you never NEVER say it! Especially not to a girl you are interested in.... Unless it's one of those girls who are only interested in money and position.... But who wants to be with those kind of girls?

I can see why you are getting turned off by it. I'm sorry too, cause that stinks.

I promised myself I'd never date a college football player, but he is changing my mind oh so quickly!

How are you the ONE person who has the ability to just make me feel like shit without even trying????

I really think I should just delete him from my facebook and myspace lists. Then I wouldn't have had to find out about him getting the job in Dallas. And I would also be saving myself the twinge of seeing it when his relationship status goes from "single" to "in a relationship" with the fat chick that he has up there.

It amazes me.... I don't want a relationship with him... And things with other guys that I'm seeing have been going very well... And yet every time I see something from him, I get queasy and want to start crying. :(


jerk.

That was sooooo me and my ex bf! I can't even stand to look at his facebook profile. That "in a relationship" thing kills me. And I dont' want him back either.

My weekend sucked. I had the guy I've been in love with for a while tell me that he cares about me, but not the way I do for him. :(

That is such a shitty thing to hear. I'm sorry. :(

Ok, it's time for my weekend vent about guys. This guy that I have been sort of seeing and I had "tentative" plans to go out on Saturday. Of course, he calls to tell me that he can't make it. We're not in a serious relationship, so it's not a big deal to me..... BUT this is the big deal.....

He called to cancel at 5:00 on Saturday afternoon. Um... alright. The reason- he is out of town.... Ok. But, when did he LEAVE to go out of town??? FRIDAY MORNING!!!!! Are you kidding me? So, he knew on Friday morning that he would not be able to keep his plans with me and yet he doesn't bother to actually call and cancel until Saturday afternoon. That is NOT COOL! :mad:

He and I are going to have to have a little conversation about being considerate of my time and my life. If he has to cancel, that's fine... but cancel as soon as you know you're not going to be able to make it.

I'll say it again.... jerk.



(On a side note- I think I am in love with my boy in Houston. Just talking to him on IM makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. :) )

19 more hours until I get to see my lovah! What a great birthday present :D

I'm almost there baby!

HOLD OUT FOR BIG PAPA!
