When To Walk Away

I find myself in an uncomfortable position of hoping against hope and listening to the voice of caution echoing in my head.  I’ve written about a man, whom for whatever reason, I have this crazy innate attraction. We’ve had a few dates over the course of a few years and each time our efforts fizzle …

Gaining The Male Perspective On Divorce

I find myself in an interesting situation where some close friends are going through a divorce or are considering a divorce.  Since both of these friends are men, it provides a different perspective on my divorce. I should first say that I consider my divorce the most painful gift I have ever received.  Though I …

It’s Hard To Open Up & Share

I’ve had interesting dating experiences – some fun and some scary!  I haven’t experienced that special “spark” people speak about.  (To be honest, I don’t know that it exists.) Sometimes I wonder if my psyche is screwed up and I’m not able to become deeply involved at an emotional level.  Even now when I think …

Tornado Dating Continues With A super Scary Date Story

It’s been a while since my last post and I haven’t really gone on many dates since.  I’m a bit burnt out and this next story was a big reason I took a break. I haven’t had much success in online dating.  I’ve found that while profiles and emails may help you filter incompatibilities, you …

I Don’t Know You, But Let’s Sail Away Together

I agreed to meet another man I met through an online dating site.  In email he was charming, funny and complimentary. In person, he was more than surprising! He wanted to meet at Daniel’s Broiler for dinner, but I suggested we meet for drinks instead.  A few minutes after I arrived and sat down at …

Sometimes Our Hearts Get Stuck

Ever felt strong emotions or a strong attachment to someone you probably shouldn’t?  I’m there. I’m inexplicably drawn to a man who stirs up emotions I have never felt before.  It sounds wonderful until I say that he is not emotionally available.  I think sometimes he wants to be, but then other times I think …

Something’s Sinking In

I still have a long way to go in terms of dating, but I am seeing progress and the application of lessons learned!!! Remember Guy #4 from one of my earlier posts this month?  Yeah, well he is still a flake. I don’t think a guy has to call, text or IM a girl every …

Breaking Up – It’s Never Fun

I broke up with my boyfriend the other week. I feel horrible for breaking up, but I know it was the right decision. He’s an amazing guy, but there are certain differences and behaviors we can’t bridge. I guess it’s more of me not being able to bridge or accept those differences. I’ve talked about …

Getting Back To The Basics

I’m trying not to get too far ahead of myself and to remember “the basics”. The basics include believing I am worthy of love and learning to trust in order to love authentically again. I often find myself going through the motions I know are expected of me. It’s an odd thing to question your …

Stuck In A Moment

You’ve got to get yourself together. You’ve got stuck in a moment, and you can’t get out of it. Don’t say that later will be better. Now you’re stuck in a moment, and you can’t get out of it. And if the night runs over, and if the day won’t last, and if your way …
