I can understand some things, like not having much in common with regards to life experiences, physically he's starting to go, maybe you want to have kids and don't want the kids friends saying, "I see your mom but why is she with your grandpa sitting in a rocking chair?" Not all older guys have a waistline larger then their chest or have more hair growing on their knuckles than their skulls. They're probably more responsible when it comes to commitment in a relationship and financially. It's like you said in your last post, don't judge a book by it's cover. You might be surprised to find that they have the type of grounding and maturity that you're looking for....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-952849078738905228.post-44209264968963299372008-07-08T16:43:00.000-05:002008-07-08T16:43:00.000-05:00Hi Erinn,Well girl if you could not see that Jesse...Hi Erinn,<BR/><BR/>Well girl if you could not see that Jesse and Deanna are a match.....How can you see the light in your own relationshis? Just kidding my dear, giving you a hard time, cause I loved Jesse and was so exited for them. I have no life. You know I'll keep looking for you.

You're right....at least w...Awe, E :(<BR/>I'm sorry.... You're right....at least when u were dating Mr. X, I still had Marissa, and Chloe to be single with. But, I have been in your shoes before, with my college girls. One got married and started a family immediately after graduation, and the other I got an apartment with downtown....thinking we'd have a wild time being two single girls about town. However, 6 months into our first lease, she met her now husband! Ugh!! We went from sitting on the couch until 4am talking about boys, shopping and such, to me being alone 4 nights out of 7 each week. No fun :(<BR/><BR/>In that instance, I DID go back to the "10 yr guy" (and that's how he became 10 yr guy....cuz I went back just to have someone in my life.) He should have only been "5 yr guy" - but all I was getting were the "losers", too. So I figured, why not.... "he still loves me". I ended up empty handed, after all those years - he couldn't propose. <BR/><BR/>so, I think you're walking down the right path. Don't date just to date. Hook up?? Well, as long as he doesn't have a rap sheet.... I mean, a girl has needs, too!!! ;) Lol!!<BR/><BR/>In our case, there's 4 of us (not 3...down to 2...like in my situation), so I think you have plenty of opportunity to still have many girls nights out. And hey... think of it this way... none of us are serious with anyone at this point! :)<BR/><BR/>Love ya, Girlie!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09029119325290139063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-952849078738905228.post-27438686771703916522008-07-08T09:59:00.000-05:002008-07-08T09:59:00.000-05:00I understand what you're talking about although AL...I understand what you're talking about although ALL of my friends are married or engaged. I literally have NO single girlfriends and haven't heard from my married friends in a while. I'm the one who is always doing the calling and I've decided to stop that because why should I do all the work? A friend of mine who hasn't hung out with me since she got engaged in December had the nerve to text message me wondering what my address was so she could invite me to her bachelorette party. After 6 months of not talking to me why would I jump on that invitation????Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-952849078738905228.post-72167698088992708882008-07-07T22:02:00.000-05:002008-07-07T22:02:00.000-05:00Hi Erin, I stumbled across your blog a while back ...Hi Erin, I stumbled across your blog a while back and was shocked to read so many of my own thoughts coming from someone else! I understand a lot of the struggles you feel with dating. I too kind of have a life coach, and she got on to me for many of the things you posted in this blog - thinking of only attracting certain types of loser guys. I have been doing my best to get those thoughts out of my head and focus on the positive and attracting a guy I want (I too recently made a list). And have actually met a few nicer guys, but just not ones I was that into... Anyways, I know its hard but just keep reminding yourself you do deserve better than these losers and, I agree, its better to be single, than just dating someone random that you're not really that into or just for the attention. Good luck and take care!LivieGraysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12120914397412392146noreply@blogger.com
