Like I've already said, I have so many years of dating stories to mine, I'll be able to stay in print FOREVER.

But I got over feeling bad for guys. You know what happens when you're nice to those types? They will manipulate you and play on your pity until you're ready to lose your mind. They KNOW it's just a matter of time; they'll squeeze every second out of you in the mean time. I learned to be polite but firm. I'm all about boundaries, baby. I had no problem saying, "I'm sorry I haven't found a clearer way to say this but I'm not interested and you need to back off, because NO, I can't be TALKED INTO changing my mind. That's not how it works. Good night." So don't feel so mean.

Well, it sounds like your date was pretty bad, but I still think light saber boy trumps autistic boy. :)

Head on over to my blog..there's a fancy little award there to celebrate your fabulousness!

I gave dudes a month to give them the benefit of the doubt, then I moved on.

I finally wrote down every single thing I wanted and liked in a man. Wouldn't you know 1/2 year later there they were.

I don't fall in "like" very easily - so that can create problems. But I HATE when people say that I am picky! Am I picky because I want my significant other to have a job and be able to support himself??

I don't think you deserve to be single and it's not like being single is a bad thing! I handled situations like you described the same way...it's not like there are handbooks out there for us to know how to deal with this kind of stuff! :-) don't be so hard on yourself!

I wouldn't say you deserve to be single. You ...

2010-02-03T13:17:29.160-08:00

I wouldn't say you deserve to be single. You deserve to not date psychotic guys maybe? I don't know why men can be so dense when a woman is clearly not interested. I've specifically had to say, "I don't want to see you or speak to you again," and had them STILL call again.

I didn't really date. Thanks for clarifying on the NOT ME dating post. I thought you hated it. I'll understand when I'm not invited to the wedding!

This sounds a lot like something I would do. I totally have walked away from men all the time. I don't care that there talking to me.

How I wish it were easy if the attraction was always mutual.

My dating days were so long ago, I can't even remember. :)

OH MY GOSH... I did some CRAZY things to poor guys when I was single and dating. I think the craziest but most necessary was when I went on my last ever blind date. I need to explain... this kid came and picked me up and when we got to the end of my street he said "So what do you want to do?" He didn't even plan anything. Then he said "I only have like 20 bucks so whatever it is it can't be expensive unless you want to chip in." We decided to go get some food. When we got the restaurant I put his last name down and he said "Woah! Taking my last name already huh? I can dig it." I excused myself to the bathroom where I called my mom and told her to call me in about 10 minutes to tell me I needed to come home. When she called I used my best acting skills and actually started CRYING while she was laughing on the other side saying blah blah blah. I told my date that my brother got in a car accident and I needed to get home. He took me home and I jumped out of the car without saying goodbye. He shouted back at me "I'll call you later babe! And I'll take a rain check on my good night kiss." GROSS. Can you blame me?
That was the last time I went on a blind date. I HATED dating. I’m so glad to be married!

Oh my gosh! I have to write a response post to this on Cheap Wine and Cookies! I will be so happy if I have time today!

MacGyver once called me a "sexual predator" before he and I became serious because I was just straight up cruel to guys. And to this day, I fell very little guilt about it. I'll be sure to McLinky if I'm able to find the time to throw this post up.

Fun.

It's hard to actually meet someone where the affection is mutual. Even with Adam, I know he was more into me initially, and then it all evened out.

I had a girl ignore me after we'd sort of gone together.
The worst part of it was that we were on a date at the time. She took up with the guy of the pair that we were out with. That pair were just friends and I sat with the girl and waited for the evening to end when I felt like just walking out and being done with it.
