tigressA Posted November 20, 2010 Posted November 20, 2010 (edited) Thanks, I'm excited. We had a lengthy IM convo while he was in the office today and during, we found out something pretty major we have in common (neither of us are good swimmers). After I "confessed"--I said it was "really embarrassing to admit"--he said, "Are you serious?" I thought, "Oh, I guess this is a problem..." but he admitted to the same thing. Then there were exchanges of "No way!" "Yeah way!" "Okay, this is getting creepy now!" Having given it a bit more thought, it's nice being "challenged" by someone I like and am compatible with, at least when it comes to conversation. I feel I pick up some things that I can use when talking with others, and I overall feel more conscious of what I'm saying, not to mention how I say it. I feel stimulated instead of bored or frustrated due to someone not understanding me. I feel I'm compatible with those who I can really learn something from, those who could "one-up" me in one or more things, but aren't condescending about it at all.

Confusedalways Posted November 20, 2010 Posted November 20, 2010 TBF, I always love your posts and responses and this thread is no exception. I love the way you put this- and it's so true!
Author threebyfate Posted November 20, 2010 Author Posted November 20, 2010 Oh wow, thanks. Glad you liked it.
D-Lish Posted November 20, 2010 Posted November 20, 2010 TBF, for the first time in such a long, long time- I am just trying to relax and enjoy what's transpiring naturally with this guy I've met. I don't think it's a coincidence that I met a really good guy when I got my life sorted out, found a job I love, and got rid of a really toxic friend that was bringing me down. It was pretty much immediate that I was swept off my feet by a really good guy. I feel relaxed being vulnerable for the first time since I fell in love with my exH. I think because I am finally in a really good place, that I've chosen a worthy partner. In doing so, I am accepting that he likes me. I honestly think that we are going to fall into a relationship- I just feel it, even though it's been a short time. In the past, the moment I felt vulnerable to someone, I would either bolt or sabotage. When I felt vulnerable, I would actually get angry at the person! Then I would go on to try and control everything- including my own feelings, I'd test limits, manipulate. With this guy, all I want to do is be as equally as open with him as he has been with me- and I want to enjoy getting to know him more. One thing I am truly afraid of is regressing. This guy is a really good guy- and now I want to make sure I don't "blow it" by turning into the "old D". I really want to keep things in check.

Author threebyfate Posted November 20, 2010 Author Posted November 20, 2010 ((Hugs)) D. You're not going to blow it. Just continue to be the real you that we all know and love on LS. You know her, the one who's compassionate when others aren't but at the same time, nobody's fool. The one with a great sense of humour and wit (besides the fart jokes ).

D-Lish Posted November 20, 2010 Posted November 20, 2010 I'm really happy and excited for you! Have a great time tomorrow. Thank you, my new mantra needs to be relax and enjoy. relax and enjoy....
Author threebyfate Posted November 20, 2010 Author Posted November 20, 2010 Thank you, my new mantra needs to be relax and enjoy. relax and enjoy....Yes, yes, action/reaction of equal and offsetting magnitude...except...it's a four-way between you and him!
D-Lish Posted November 20, 2010 Posted November 20, 2010 Yes, yes, action/reaction of equal and offsetting magnitude...except...it's a four-way between you and him! Is that like random, equal forces bumping into the other at high speed causing a cosmic explosion of energy ??? Isn't that the premise of the big bang theory? I can see a big bang in my future:lmao:

Star Gazer Posted November 20, 2010 Posted November 20, 2010 TBF, for the first time in such a long, long time- I am just trying to relax and enjoy what's transpiring naturally with this guy I've met. Ha!! For the first time, I realized that TBF not only means her name, but To Be Frank. That's how I read this!! How fitting! (Random thought, sorry!) I don't think it's a coincidence that I met a really good guy when I got my life sorted out, found a job I love, and got rid of a really toxic friend that was bringing me down. It was pretty much immediate that I was swept off my feet by a really good guy. Of course it's no coincidence! I feel relaxed being vulnerable for the first time since I fell in love with my exH. I think because I am finally in a really good place, that I've chosen a worthy partner. In doing so, I am accepting that he likes me.

I'm so excited to watch this bloom!!!
D-Lish Posted November 20, 2010 Posted November 20, 2010 Don't you two be creating anything with big bangs, okay? haha:lmao: I picture my ovaries as dried up little raisons by now, and I am quite sure my eggs are slow and lazy- perhaps borderline retarded at this point. And let's be serious, I'd never look as hot with a "bump" as you did:laugh:
D-Lish Posted November 20, 2010 Posted November 20, 2010 Ha!! For the first time, I realized that TBF not only means her name, but To Be Frank. That's how I read this!! How fitting! (Random thought, sorry!) Of course it's no coincidence! I have SUCH a good feeling about this, D. I'm so excited to watch this bloom!!! Thanks Star, I am excited too. I've had such a horrible 9 years of professional and personal hardship- and as soon as I purged the last of my demons, a super good guy walked into my life. It can't be a coincidence!

Author threebyfate Posted November 20, 2010 Author Posted November 20, 2010 Ha!! For the first time, I realized that TBF not only means her name, but To Be Frank. That's how I read this!! How fitting!Do I look like a Frank? haha:lmao: I picture my ovaries as dried up little raisons by now, and I am quite sure my eggs are slow and lazy- perhaps borderline retarded at this point. And let's be serious, I'd never look as hot with a "bump" as you did:laugh: While killer funny, something tells me that if your ovaries and eggs are in the same shape as you look, better get him to double-bag for safety sake!
D-Lish Posted November 20, 2010 Posted November 20, 2010 You deserve it!! Thanks, I am actually embracing the idea that I deserve it too. That was hard for me to accept in the past.
D-Lish Posted November 20, 2010 Posted November 20, 2010 Do I look like a Frank? While killer funny, something tells me that if your ovaries and eggs are in the same shape as you look, better get him to double-bag for safety sake! I don't think they are, lol. I think my eggs are probably very sleepy by now:lmao:
Star Gazer Posted November 20, 2010 Posted November 20, 2010 Do I look like a Frank? Haha! You couldn't even if you tried!
OceanGirl Posted November 20, 2010 Posted November 20, 2010 Aww I am such a lame-o romantic - I am now hoping that D-lish will have a baby!
