Teacher's Pet Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 A year ago today, I was introducing B to my mother. We were engaged 3 months later. Couple that with the fact that nothing will top last NYE... Suddenly, I feel like crap. I guess I'm glad I'm going out tonight. Should prove interesting. -tp byebye 2006, go f*** yourself!
D-Lish Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 I think that if you take a good hard look at your situation you'll realize just how far you've come in the past months! Put on your dancing shoes and a man blouse and make it your mission to have a great time tonight! Create new good memories! Happy New Year, D
Author Teacher's Pet Posted December 31, 2006 Author Posted December 31, 2006 What the heck is a man blouse? -tp fashion illiterate

I couldn't get so lucky. Kinda funny with the #'s reversed like that, though.. -tp wishing he were the 6 to someone's 9

I'm sure i'll get hit later on when you see me for saying this but... You just posted LAST NIGHT about having a GREAT FIRST DATE with someone. It almost seems like you want to keep hurting yourself with memories of B. Seriously. You've been out and dating and meeting new friends and even have met a girl you feel like your mother would even love. Why not focus on THAT tonight, rather than the fact that you happened to get sex from some girl who obviously didn't give a sh*t enough to stick around to see another NYE... Come on man, I know you're better than this. And yes, this is my being harsh. But I know tp needs tough love.

I guess it's just that I had a good date yesterday, but I honestly have no idea how SHE felt! I mean, we smiled and laughed a lot, so it couldn't have been THAT bad... lol But still.... I guess I'm just very pessimistic when it comes to dating... which is weird, because I'm very optimistic about pretty much everything else! I won't even really know until the next time I talk to her, which will probably be tomorrow night or Tuesday....... it's like waiting for the doctor to call with test results.... I guess just the whole idea of trying to "start fresh" with someone new after investing all of me into my last relationship... guess I'm just a little scared still, deep down... But yes... tough love..... you know I appreciate it, Jenn. I love ya. -tp needs it tough likes it rough
AriaIncognito Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 Investing all of yourself is exactly how you'll eventually end up with the right person. Those who dont invest all of themselves are never fully in a relationship, and I personally wouldn't want to see you involved in something like that (of course same could be said for me...but we're focusing on you lol). You need to invest of yourself fully so that you can at least know you did your all to have it work, and that the other person just didn't live up. There is then no "what if i treated her better" or whatever in your mind. You know you did all in your power. It does suck to start over again, and lord knows hearing this same advice I'd be saying the same things as you. It's just that, at some point, you've gotta try to release the negative tapes of you and her that you're playing. (meaning these tapes saying she was so perfect and right for you) It's been as long as the relationship lasted now, that you've been NC. I think that speaks volumes. If she was that right for you, she wouldn't be going 6 months without a trace... You're doing so well, don't muck it up with the thoughts of what happened to occur a year ago today. They say that how your year is, is indicative of how you spend New Years Eve...so, if you go out tonight and have a good time, you'll have a good year. ;-)

There is then no "what if i treated her better" or whatever in your mind. You know you did all in your power. True... I really did my best with B. With H, well, at least with her, I know I can say I COULD HAVE done better, so at least this time around, I can stop being so hard on myself.

Gotcha there! I know, I'm being a putz. But only because I know you'll let me. -tp great NYE, followed by a VERY mixed year....maybe I need a mixed NYE?
Author Teacher's Pet Posted December 31, 2006 Author Posted December 31, 2006 So what the hell should I wear tonight? You know me and my fashion sense. I own ONE jacket that I look semi-nice in, but it's slightly small on me. If I leave it open, it looks ok... Now, if I do that, should I go for the Johnny Cash look? (all black, I know you hate that), or should I wear white underneath (the jacket is black) and risk my man-boobs being highlighted? I actually have BLACK socks for tonight, even though you know my superstitions involving them. Or, I can just wear my usual "club" wear. Or, I could go for the sexy look, and wear a bowtie and jock strap..... -tp voted Best Dressed (Popular Mechanics, 1997)
AriaIncognito Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 I'm wearing a black 2 piece skirt ensemble. I wanted to find a non-black skirt but didnt' find any that were what i wanted. I had a dress, but i think the 2 piece is more flattering on me now. Wear whichever you feel most comfortable in. You'll be meeting like 35 people you've never met and there's dancing and whatnot... :-)
Author Teacher's Pet Posted December 31, 2006 Author Posted December 31, 2006 It's the possibility of "whatnot" that draws me in. -tp hasn't whatnot'd in a while

Suddenly, I feel like crap. I guess I'm glad I'm going out tonight. Should prove interesting. -tp byebye 2006, go f*** yourself! Hm. It was one year ago to the day when I last made love to my ex. Or to anyone else for that matter. It was 51 weeks ago that I got the final word from her about our future not-together. I don't lament these facts, although a piece of me is always hanging on to what that relationship was supposed to be. And I sometimes feel like a failure for the fact that it didn't happen. 2006 wasn't easy for me, and I know I'm not as healthy mentally now as I was then. Even though I was more sad then, my outlook is a bit darker overall right now. But I've been in worse shape, and I know that if I found love I could get over this attitude and get back the contentment I had. I actually have hope for the coming year in spite of the fact that optimism isn't my strong suit. Love is really all I need. Everything else is in pretty good shape right now. That's not a bad situation to be in.

My job is going well (even though the early parts of the year are very slow), my 2nd job is great, my friends are amazing........ All that's missing is a girlfriend. And yes, I can survive without one, I just miss having someone in my life.... -tp "....I just miss having someone in my life...." reads as "I'm horny!"
