My ex looked better than any of these guys. I have learned to lower my standards a bit.

 

OK, something weird happened tonight that kind of bugs me.

 

I was 10 minutes late to dinner and he called me to see where I am. When he called from his mobile, his name didn't come up and it said "private" instead.

 

Before when he called, his name was always displayed. This means that he deliberately blocked his number.

 

Obviously, he has no reason to do it for me so he must be hang up on some girl that he is semi-stalking. That's the only reason I occasionally block my number. I really can't see any other explanation :(

DO NOT SABOTAGE THIS GUY. It could be your phone or his that was having some weird problem. Cell phones are the death of relationships these days ;/

Nah I DO kind of like him. I like him the most out of all the other guys I met online (except for the politician). I think there is some potential here....

 

I just friended him on FB (he accepted). There are some shirtless pics and he has a 6 pack :eek::bunny:

 

There also seem to be no suspect girls around. He seems to have lots of family pics. Awwww. His status says "single".

 

Red flag alert.

Seriously.

It seems like your just looking for a reason to not see this guy again.

 

This must translate to him in some form. You can't possibly be giving him good vibes.

Agreed.

 

Plus, SAC, you admit that YOU DO THAT. How can you hold such a double standard??

Long story.

 

It begins with my former member name, Lionlover.

You said "red flag" as though it's categorically true, not your own personal experience. Care to explain?

Nothing is "categorically true", initially.

 

Anyway, let's not hijack thread.

 

I will amend it to a yellow flag.

Goodness. The title of my next thread will be:

 

Existential anxiety: I worry therefore I am.

 

Or perhaps: Do dating-related anxieties make you feel alive?

 

From what I gather you had cute date, the guy is showing signs that he is into you, you are getting to know each other at a normal pace. Time to think about something else. Maybe something positive. Like the fact that the dating part of your life is actually going pretty well.

Oh shirtless pics are from the beach so that's kind of OK lol.

 

 

I woke up today thinking that he is probably never going to call.... I know I worry too much but I can't let go of this feeling. I chatted with a male friend who thinks that it's weird that this guy hasn't extensively made out with me in 2 dates.

Yeah, that is kind of weird. Especially since you wanted him to be passionate.

 

Hmmm.... See what happens. At least you are not so crazy about this guy anyway.

Maybe he doesn't believe in making out extensively in public or in his car.

Side note: I left work few hours early yesterday to prepare for the date. As a result I haven't finished some things and I have a meeting with my bosses at midday. It's now 5:46am and I better get a move on. I have had 4 hours of sleep and it's dark and cold outside (it's winter in Australia) :(

This date was so important to you that you left work early to prepare? Really??

 

So in other words you put a mere second date ahead of your own personal priorities and basic necessities (work and sleep).

 

Do you not see a problem with this?

when would he have had opportunity to make out with you? I thought you stayed in public the whole date.

Major red flag. Did he tilt his head at all during your dates? That's a clear indicator of a player and a cheater. Cut all contact immediately, and begin dating a unemployed bum in a band ASAP. Dont worry, his band is like 2 shows away from really blowing up.

Blowing up because a well known bunny boiler stashed an IED in the drum kit.

Further, a date with a person designated as "meh."

Good point.

 

How bizarre, to prioritize a "meh" date over work and sleep... Hmph.

SaC takes things seriously.

 

Plus, she hasn't had a relationship in years. Of course she cares.

 

Even her old ex that I named, nothing much happened except for her undying love for him for years.

Work was my priority for YEARS. When I worked on my PhD, I never went out.

 

For a very long time, I have felt that work is not enough to make me happy. Not even close.

 

I still got work covered, I am just not prepared to give it 200% of my time and energy. If that's not enough, so be it. I can always find another job.
