Dis Posted July 26, 2016 Posted July 26, 2016 Sorry but what then heck is an APRN or OBGYN? I wish people would stop using acronyms without putting the meaning of them in the same sentence. DYCMD...."Do you catch my drift" lol APRN=Advanced Practice Registered Nurse OB= Obstetrician GYN= Gynecologist But those are alittle more based in common knowledge than DYCMD
sam light Posted August 5, 2016 Posted August 5, 2016 Sorry but what then heck is an APRN or OBGYN? I wish people would stop using acronyms without putting the meaning of them in the same sentence. DYCMD...."Do you catch my drift" lol I'm certainly not up on all the acronyms, but these 2 are very well known. Have you been living in a cave or your Mom's basement? 1
Mkn1010 Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 Hey Redguitar, I just read your post today and wanted to say that I know how you feel. I turn 30 in 6 weeks and I have dated some very weird men that I met online that have completely crushed my hopes to the point where I have given up too! However, sometimes I think that if I'm on there, there's gotta be someone else around with their act together/kind/consistent etc. Give yourself a little rest, there's no hurry! You're in a better position now to choose the right girl then those who settle down really young in my opinion. 1
Gr8fuln2020 Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 APRN=Advanced Practice Registered Nurse OB= Obstetrician GYN= Gynecologist But those are alittle more based in common knowledge than DYCMD I have been around and have NEVER seen APRN. Is this another (regional) way to say Nurse Practitioner or NP? I know NP. :-) OBGYN I know.
Dis Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 I have been around and have NEVER seen APRN. Is this another (regional) way to say Nurse Practitioner or NP? I know NP. :-) OBGYN I know. Yup another way of saying Nurse Practitioner The reason why I know what APRN stands for is because my mom has been one for 20 years If I can be half the nurse she is I'll be happy
mbee Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 (edited) If you want to give up on dating, fair enough. I've never really all out given up but I have taken breaks. I'm 28 so a bit younger than you but I haven't been in a relationship in over 3 years which can be a little saddening if I think about it. However, I've done some amazing things with my time alone. I've moved overseas to another country and have now been happily living in this country for 2 years and considering permanent residency. I've traveled to between 20-30 countries. I've made some amazing friends - one through online dating who is one of my best friends. I've learned a new language, focused on my career and essentially built myself up physically, mentally and emotionally. I've gotten back into online dating several months ago (after taking 9 months off due to meeting some super weird/crazy people). Truthfully, I needed a fresh perspective. Ask yourself and be honest if you are doing something wrong. My online dating experience has been great so far. EVERYONE I met on the dating site is a good, decent human being. The only negative dating experience I had was from a guy I met at a bar a few months ago. What changed? Is it because there are better people online than there were before? No, probably not. I think I was jaded and looking for flaws. I also believe you should go on several dates to see if there's chemistry. I also just viewed online dating as a way to meet people, have human connections and learn about someone new. That way I went into each date not being disappointed. I also know what I want and who I am. I'm a slow burn type of girl and look for guys who are similar... not trying to rush into a relationship and focused on learning about each other. Guys who want something fast and quick are not compatible to me. I'm also upfront about not accepting less than what I deserve from a guy. As a result I've had no broken hearts and filter out the guys who might be a waste of time. I also treat men the exact same way I want to be treated - with respect and kindness. If a guy does not reciprocate, I take the hint and move on. I allow things to end respectfully and you'd be amazed at the type of good people who you attract when you adopt and practice this mentality. I'd recommend taking a break, doing some hardcore and honest self-discovery and putting yourself out there when you are ready. There are some amazing women out there. I like to think I'm one and I know many single women who are looking for that amazing guy too. IT's not an issue of scarcity but being in the right mindset and place to be open to love. Either way if you are feeling jaded, take a break and enjoy the single life. Edited August 24, 2016 by mbee
SammySammy Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 I turned 30 this past week, which was also the week I decided to quit dating. I met a series of people who didn't have their stuff together, or were unbalanced, bad experiences that have just turned me off of dating forever. The last two girls I dated, one drank too much and was on antidepressants and another was dead broke and had deep emotional problems related to anger. At the same time, I'm feeling depressed that my dating life is over and ending on such a sour note. I had a goal to meet a someone special by 30, but I never did. That's like saying you're not going to a restaurant anymore because you went to a couple and you had bad meals. Maybe you need to stop going to sh*tty restaurants. The world is a big place. There are a wide variety of places to eat out there. From world class restaurants to roadside vendors. A wide variety of cuisines. A good experience can be had with all types. The key is choosing the right one.
