We're "friends".....currently on different paths. Not to say we won't give it a go again.....someday. She lives in Oly...works 70 hours a week, and is pursuing 2 masters degrees. The math is pretty simple. We both gave it as much as we could. Wrong timing, I suppose.
The only things that come from Pendleton are steers and............. Er, wait! BLAZER PROPHET is from Pendleton!! :MARIS61:
No worries. Getting dates has never really been an issue with me. In fact, I'm looking forward to some solitude...at least for the next few days.
Sorry to hear that dude. A word of advice: next time around, the words "salt water cleanse" should not be used until at least the 4th date.
Thanks, man. A few months following the split with my ex (back in 2011), I went on a dating frenzy. After a few months of that, things ended up becoming super monotonous.....and expensive! Then, I connected with a gal from Seattle. We dated for about 8 months. Eventually, it all became more struggle (long distance) than it was really worth. (although, we still stay connected via text, etc.) Following that, I dated off and on for a couple months before meeting "the one" in Olympia (why I decided to date out of town again, I have no idea.) We met last June....had a pretty torrid romance and, quite frankly, probably still would be if she weren't working nearly 70 hours per week, while also pursuing 2 masters degrees. There was simply no room for a "reasonable" relationship. That all said, perhaps we'll get back together following her graduation next year. You know how that goes, though.......... Now, I'm gonna spend some time doing "me" things. Should be fun!
seriously though, go to south east asia and bang young chicks. you probably won't even need to pay for it. :MARIS61:
I had some good advice from a therapist once about dating. (Yes I've seen a therapist) Before you fall in love with someone, make a list of things that are logical "deal breakers." Working 70 hours a week, should probably be on that list for you. And living more than 30 minutes drive as well if you ask me. I would make a list now and then after your mind has adjusted to single life, make a list again and compare the two.
