The Non-Date

All Women Are Crazy, Fabulous Felines, Man TBD, This is 30, TL;DR

Ok.  Here we go again. This is the main post recreated.

It is actually about yesterday and requires a bit of background.

Boyfriend and I decided to date exclusively rather early on in our relationship.  I can’t remember if he went on any dates after we met, but I had only one date: the one with the Nerd.   My decision to date exclusively went as follows:

  1. I’m a bit burnt out on all these energy draining first dates so I don’t intend to go on any other dates, and
  2. I like Boyfriend enough to keep seeing him.

Now, let me make two things perfectly clear:

  1. I didn’t pressure Boyfriend to do the same–he initiated all of the early conversations about the relationship and I also told him that he needed to do what he felt was right.  If he wasn’t ready to stop dating other women, then he shouldn’t stop.  I told home that I hoped he would choose me, but I want to be with someone who wants to be with me and sometimes dating other people helps you to figure that out.
  2. I didn’t settle for Boyfriend. If I ever stop enjoying things on balance, I’ll end it and spend more times with the cats.

Hello Blog.

All Women Are Crazy, Fabulous Felines, Man TBD, Overshare?, This is 30, TL;DR

It’s me.

I know it’s been awhile–fell down the stairs at home (don’t worry just bruised body and ego), been traveling for work, and spending time with Boyfriend.  I met with a new licensed medical provider late last week (thanks to the kind people who reached out with recommendations and support–you are the bestest and never forget it).  I like her better already.  She’s going to chat with the old one and we’re meeting again Friday.  I have a fear that she will turn on me, but I think (hope?) that’s irrational paranoia.

Anywho,  things with Boyfriend are good and I’m quite happy.  We’re going away this weekend together on our first trip.  Perhaps it will provide interesting blog fodder, but to be honest, I sorta hope it doesn’t (sorry).  In the meantime, I’ve been thinking quite a bit about what I want from a man and a relationship and I’ve had some inspiration from the Internet.

First, off there is this couple:

Vacation!!!

All Women Are Crazy, I swear this happened, Man TBD, Times when I'm awkward, TL;DR

Hello Readers!  How are you two doing?

Ah.  It’s funny because it’s true.

Anyways, I was on a staycation last week and tried to stay as unplugged as possible.  Ahhhhh.  So, sorry for not posting for a while (I’m not actually sorry).

First order of business:  It has been decided that the possible Man TBD formerly known as Him #2 shall be referred to as “Boyfriend.”  Creative, I know!  Boyfriend has a dog, who is my dog boyfriend.  The cats are not pleased by the smell of slobber and they show their disapproval by sleeping a lot and occasionally and furiously attacking catnip toys.  Ok, so, the cats don’t care.

Galentine’s Day and Valentine’s Day

All Women Are Crazy, Fabulous Felines, Good Eats!, Man TBD, This is 30, TL;DR, Uncategorized

It was an awfully busy week with Galentine’s Day and Valentine’s Day.   One of these holidays involved exchanging gifts with a three course meal at a fancy restaurant and the other one was Valentine’s Day.

I have yet to watch Parks and Recreation (though it perpetually lives towards the beginning of my Netflix queue), but I understand the show officially launched Galentine’s Day, as a holiday for ladies to celebrate with ladies.  One night lask week, I met up with a wonderful group of gals for a great dinner (it started with fried cheese and ended with a giant bowl of chocolate mousse…nuff said). We also exchanged gifts such as: socks that said “smitten kitten,” owl themed chocolates, and sparkly stickers.  It was an evening that embodied true love.
