I have seen enough on YouTube to realize that I like this advice: as a female (or who cares what the gender is!), just go out and ask the other person if you want another date. Yes, if you like someone, ask. Or make it clear you are open to another date by stating so… Continue reading How to ask someone out on a date in a meaningful way

Making Conversation Tips in Returning to Dating
A while back, I expressed fears about getting back into dating. I'm sure there are lots of other people who are so scared about re-trying the dating scene as well. Today, I have compiled a big list of videos that have helped me get some courage for this hopefully soon future event. I have never… Continue reading Making Conversation Tips in Returning to Dating
Doing my homework! Part 5 (Introduction): Basic Texting How-To
The next assignment involves having to practice ice breaker texts. These are the kind of texts where one has to learn how to start re-start contact. There is a lot of material out there on this subject, but it is important to know how to text like a normal person to start. I found myself… Continue reading Doing my homework! Part 5 (Introduction): Basic Texting How-To
Money does have more value when you spend it for the right reasons
As I ate a sandwich at work today…I thought about my Love. How he taught me how to handle my knife and fork, as I eat. How he thought it was cute how I’d get food on my face by accident sometimes. The bread had a nice crunch to it, and it made me think… Continue reading Money does have more value when you spend it for the right reasons
Because you’re a crazy person right now
Somebody said that about me. Well, not directly, but it still applies. I talked with a therapist today about myself. Thank goodness for Maven Clinic! It’s a women-only resource for women to be able to see doctors. (I only knew about it by accident as an online user tester.) I wish I could spread the… Continue reading Because you’re a crazy person right now
Heartbroken over what-if
Outside were two fire trucks, and ambulance, sirens going off, and children screaming. And all I’m doing is sitting sadly with my cheesecake (that is already completely gone now), chewing slowly. If I actually lived in this apartment complex, this would be terrifying. But I don’t, so I feel numb instead. The memory of the… Continue reading Heartbroken over what-if
Learn to love yourself?
The words still ring through my ears and hurt like acid on the eyes: my Love has told me before that he wants me to love myself first (or maybe more, or something like that) before I can have his love. I find this to be a very difficult idea. How can I do that… Continue reading Learn to love yourself?
Rules for…fair fighting?
https://youtu.be/t2bZTePuHb0 I found this video that does an excellent job defining how to demonstrate respect in a relationship. But they define it in the sense of fighting. Not quite the angle for handling a discussion that I would have expected! But interestingly enough, these principles date back to the 70’s, so rest assured, they have… Continue reading Rules for…fair fighting?
Cool Girl vs. Quality Girl
I have been trying really hard to be low maintenance. I insist that I do not need to have the car, so that my Love can be as free as he likes. I don’t think I am letting him walk all over me for it. I am being nice about it. Since we are living… Continue reading Cool Girl vs. Quality Girl
The sight of a happy family
At work today I saw a mom wanting to take a family picture. Before, I would have probably rolled my eyes at this. Now I feel really sad. I wanted to cry. I wish my Love would let me back into his family. They will be visiting for Christmas soon and even worse - I… Continue reading The sight of a happy family
