Don't get it, never will..Simple Suggestions On How Not To Date..

So since my last blazing failure at relationship-ness, I've been doing some serious reflecting (as anyone should after a break up to assess what really went wrong). I keep finding myself looking at how this past episode affected my kids more than it did me. This isn't my first rodeo, and I do nothing but fall to get back up. I'll get more into the story later, but I allowed #193 to be a big part of my life. Alter it a little if you will. I did what I thought I was supposed to do in a relationship. #193 knew that my kids and I came as a package deal. Our relationship wasn't going to be "just between us". I was ready for something long term--something permanent. So when #193 left, he not only left me, but my kids as well. This was what I was most afraid of when I got into the relationship: it ending. But it did. Now my daughter took it with a grain of salt. She is so much like me that I'm actually afraid for the world when she grows up. She's ...

I don't want anyone to get this post confused by the end.  I am very spiritual.  I love God and learning about the Bible. Disclaimer out of the way... I can't STAND a Bible thumper.  You know what I'm talking about--the people who use Jesus in every situation, to downgrade anyone, and Jesus is the answer to EVERYTHING. This is the story of #132 and his masterful bible thumping abilities. I recently read an article about psychopaths and I think he might have qualified but that's another post coming soon. So the story begins on FB.  Don't scoff! Every female reading this KNOWS they have that one guy in their inbox trying to get their number.  So after some work I gave him mine. He was super sweet, attentive, involved, and handsome.  Everything a girl wanted.  He was heavily into church and very spiritual.  Divorced and lonely.  Perfect match right? Oh but there were signs though. Pause: ALWAYS pay attention to the signs.  They ar...

Well friends here we are again. Why did I take so much time off you ask? Because I thought I had this whole dating thing figured out.  I though I had found the "one".  And like every idiot that dogs their friends for a guy or lady, here I am.  Back on your news feed asking for your forgiveness.  I was foolish to think this wouldn't be a part of my life anymore.  I was foolish to think that I didn't need you anymore.  Even more than all of that, I was foolish to believe that I had found the fucking "one"! I apologize friends. The good news is that I'm here now.  I can only go forward from here on out and of course I have some great stories for y'all.  This is what I DO! I'm like the Jesus of dating, I died for all your sins.  I make the mistakes for you so that you don't have to.  Pause: Don't go all religious on me because I've been gone for so long.  It was a metaphor folks.  I'm a poet.  I use those.  So wha...
