4. Try not to sound so enthused
:)

Let me tell you something, there are a lot of us out here who wish we could have a mate, but can't even manage to seduce a sheep.

8. gawd, no. That date is one of the reasons that convinced me to
give the old boyfriend another try. That date was a disaster.

11. any port will do in a storm of codependency...?
I'm so glad to be over that. Single works just fine, thank you.

12. uhm...
my eyes are wide open and so are his. We are remaining single. There are no drug or alchohol issues in this case.

13. sorry, you misunderstood my comment....
Edited on Sun Sep-21-08 10:43 AM by mike_c
I didn't mean to suggest there were substance abuse issues. Rather, it sounds more like a relationship based on mutual neediness than one based on mutual love and respect-- that's the sort of codependency I meant-- like you're both so desperate to be in a relationship that even one you know isn't fulfilling is better than being alone.

That's what I meant by "being single." Perhaps I should have said "being alone" or "not being in a romantic relationship."

Sorry if I gave the wrong impression.

14. I don't think this meets the definition of relationship...
in any sense of the word. We are friends. We are old. I no longer give a shit what any one else thinks. If it works for us, fine. If not, fine. You should hope it works, it means my sorry ass won't be making shitty posts as often.

25. hey darlin'
After our phone call ended abruptly ... and I thought everything had about hit bottom around here ~ another problem cropped up to deal with. My Trike blew a hydraulic line on my way home last night. I hope it's part of a break job that was done recently and is somehow covered by warranty or I am so screwed! On the plus side ~ it was safely parked in my garage when (as I took the dog out) I noticed a line of suspicious dark drops on the drivway.
