Today I was listening to a radio morning show and the DJs were talking about how between mid-November and mid-December people (women especially), really carve out time to date and make an effort to be in a relationship around the holidays and for New Years.
I can see that, but for me it’s much more fun to snuggle with someone when it’s cold out and like Buddy the Elf snuggling’s my favorite.
I find myself in an interesting position this year:
Like I said in a previous post Josh leaves for his Foreign Services job overseas on 12/10 which I’ve know from the beginning and we kept things casual, but it doesn’t mean you don’t get comfortable. We ate in last night and caught up on 3 episodes of Homeland while camped out on his living room floor on an air mattress since he’s mostly packed up. He was in Florida for the past 2 weeks visiting family and during that time I really started to pull away and actively try to get back into the dating game (which I did this week). I’m going to enjoy this last week or so with Josh. He was being extra sweet and snuggly last night and at one point referred to at “ravishing” – I’ll take it!
Meanwhile I had a really good first date on Tuesday. Really good conversation and this guy is a “grown up” with his shit together. I’m intrigued. We are going out again tomorrow!
I have another first date with a guy for tonight, but he hasn’t been feeling well this week, so I’m not sure if we’re going to need to reschedule.
Oh and FYI, I failed to mention on here that the day of my wisdom teeth surgery my ENGAGED ex e-mailed me for the first time since April. General consensus from friends (both male and female) that it was an inappropriate email from an engaged guy to send his ex-girlfriend. I waited until I was off my pain-meds to write him to back in a “politely dismissive” manner. My friends think I was way too nice, but I wanted to take the high road, plus I’m sad for him. If he’s engaged and still trying to rekindle some connection with me who is across the country, it’s just sad.
Never a dull moment. My love life waxes and wanes more than the moon and the tide!
