OK-Explain this to me like I'm 4 years old..... HeartbrokenDingo: Ok. I want all of you to explain this whole "single" thing to me like I'm 4 years old.
My divorce was final on Jan. 4th. I know there are a lot of new members so for those of you who don't know me...I'm the old broad...lol!!
BTW....what the hell happened to Ojaroo????? Sheesh!
You can read my prior post for history but suffice it to say....long story short....met and married....what I thought was the love of my life....the bastard cheated....I caught him......and started digging his very shallow grave.......
we are now divorced.....he got fired from his job....(his whore was one of his employees)......he went bankrupt........he lost the house.....(yes, it was in my name also, which he could not afford without my salary...hee, hee!!)........along with a myriad of other problems he has had to encounter........
my favorite happened at a meeting between both of our divorce lawyers in December.....his lawyer got up to leave and said to my lawyer.....
"For what it's worth, you and I both know that 'Mrs. Dingo' is out for blood....for what it's worth....he's bleeding badly".....
When my lawyer told me that I asked him:
"Is he still breathing?"
My Lawyer: "Yes, he is."
Me: "Well then, I'm not done yet."
My lawyer just laughed. (My second lawyer, the way....first lawyer fired me/quit after I made an exceptionally brilliant move on my part which caused my lawyer to call me and say he couldn't take it any more. Wuss.
That being said......how in the hell do you "date"? I haven't a clue. I was with him for 5+ years and before that, was in a long term relationship for over 8 years. I haven't got a clue.
I also don't have time. I have a very demanding job whcih has gotten even more demanding. I'm not complaining....there are people out there who are going through this crap with no skills...babies to raise......husbands from hell and no money coming in. I'm fortunate in that regard that I'm self-sufficient and can support myself. (And I'm not cheap, believe you me!!!)
However....I don't know how to date. :-[
The reason I ask is because I have developed a "relationship" with one of my customers. It's actually pretty pathetic. We live 45 seconds...(Yes, I said SECONDS!!!!) from each other and yet, we have been communicating through TEXT MESSAGES since late Oct./Early Nov.!!!!!!
I'm making myself sick!!!! He's divorced...8 or 9 years....has 2 kids 14 and 18 and he's 4 years older than me. Yes, I'm 41 and will be 42 on April 13th....please feel free to send presents....P.M. me for the address.... ;D
I don't think I'm too hideous looking......but looks are subjective....
This guy is driving me crazy. We've never gone out. All we do is text each other....nothing obscene.....
He comes in my store on the weekends....he travels all week on business....
He was "off" for two weeks in December.......He bought a laptop from me, I managed to track down Ipods from the 4 corners of the continental United States from him, and I must admit.....a great deal of baked goods were sent his way.........cookies, homemade bread, creampuffs.....you get the idea...
Bottom line....another customer who happens to be his neighbor, was always bugging me...."When are you gonna be divorced so we can hook you up with "Mr. Handsome?" Etc., Etc., Etc.,......
It is now February/Early March. "Mr. Handsome" just underwent an emergency appendectomy and had to have part of his intestine removed due to GANGRENE....yes, I kept bugging him to go to the doctor.......
Did I mention he's stubborn????
As late as last saturday night, I closed my store, one of my employees could not get their car started, went to jump start it....my hood was frozen.....
Called "Mr. Handsome"......(I told you he lived 45 seconds from me...I live 2 minutes away from my store.....)
Mr. Handsome was there in 3 minutes.....Pulled up in his Dodge Magnum.....
Yeah, he's got one of "THOSE"......
Employees' piece of crap car wouldn't start..."Mr. Handsome" comes right up to me THISCLOSE and stops like he's going to kiss me.......
Yeah...I've been waitin' for this......
then steps back and says O.K. are you gonna be alright?
WTF?????
I really don't think I misread the situation. Everybody says he's sending me mixed signals. Even my employee asked me the next day at work, "What is up with you and him? There is definitely something going on there."
I know.....too long.....To be con't.
Re: OK-Explain this to me like I'm 4 years old..... HeartbrokenDingo: I haven't gotten fed up with this situation several times and swore that I was not going to continue to communicate with him anymore, but yet, it never fails....he sends me a text and we end up talking for 1-3 hours.....via text....sick.....
I know....it's insane......
Just when I say, that's it, I'm done with him...the next thing I know, he sends me a bunch of text messages or the S.O.B. ends up in emergency surgery and I feel sorry for his ass.....
Bottom line....I had a couple brief, "conversations" with him on tues, and Weds.,
Short, sweet and to the point.....
I got fed up and sent him a message on Thursday and told him that I understood...I understood the difference between not upset and not interested at all....as always....still friends.....
That's it. Haven't heard from him since.
His neighbor has been in contact with me several times and tonight, called me at work and said, "Mr. Handsome is here....by the way, he bought a Harley yesterday..."
This is the same woman who was first, was asking me when I was going to be divorced so that she could fix me up with"Mr. handsome", then she tells me that after my divorce is final I should just give up men for a while like a "bad habit".
I even told her one time after she had said that, "Well, bad habits are like cigarettes and wine...I still like to enjoy one every once in awhile."
JEEZ!!!!!
WTF is up with this guy??? I'm tired of trying to figure him out. Screw him. Tonight when I talked to her, she said, "Mr. Handsome" is here. We're talking about your ad for next week."
So help me God, they better not even ask me to locate another Ipod....I'll shoot them where they stand, I swear I will.......
Right after she told me he had bought a Harley, I told her,
"Good for him. I hope he bought a helmet to protect that "hard as steel head" he's got. I deleted him from my cell phone so I won't be tempted to text him and check on his recovery from his operation...yes, I decided to take your advice.......I've given up bad habits....and as far as I'm concerned....he's the biggest one..."
There. How you like me now? S***.
My best friend keeps saying, "Why don't you just go on and sleep with his ass......then ya'll will feel comfortable around each other..."
I told her that the last time I slept with a man on the 1st (2nd, 3rd) date...I ended up marrying the S.O.B.,.......and look where that got me?
No, It's become a standing joke around work that "Dingo" is going to pick out her next "Divorce Attorney" before she picks out her next "future ex-husband" and stock up on ammo. lol!
LOL, but it's not funny. It really is not. :'(
So explain this to me everyone.....what in the hell am I supposed to do about this guy? I'm obviously smitten, but I'm not going to be a doormat.....
Any advice would be appreciated........
Thanks....
Dingo....
;)
"Off to get more bullets.....Walmart's having a sale......"
;D ;D ;D
Re: OK-Explain this to me like I'm 4 years old..... dre: Hes a wuss.
Dating is about talking to guys and exchanging numbers then setting up dates where you go places and get to know each other better. He might pay or you go dutch. I would never pay for the first date. Mabey the second if he payed for the first.
Re: OK-Explain this to me like I'm 4 years old..... HeartbrokenDingo: Thanks dre,
I kinda have the basics down....at least I think I remember them.....
it's been a long time, but still...guy and girl go out and I agree...if guy asks...guy pays....
but, I have no problem paying my way or even treating once in awhile........like I said....I am fortunate in that regard....I'm not rich, by no means, but I can afford to treat a guy once in awhile......
ask any of my employees......I have a few "young-ins" who I have a soft spot for and buy their lunch or dinner many times throughout the course of a week......
still......what is up with this guy.....??????
am I nuts???????
I do know that he went through a very tough divorce, from what I've heard.......he told my friend, (Yes, the one who told me to "Go on and sleep with his ass....") he told her that his ex-wife was pure evil......
well hell, that's got nothing to do with me....
however, on the other hand...I can see his point....
I married the love of my life.....and he almost destroyed me.......how can I be expected to ever let down my guard again???
but yet, here I am, doing so......
S*** !!!! >:(
Re: OK-Explain this to me like I'm 4 years old..... dre: I think he is a wuss. You say he cant talk face to face. He emails you when he lives right there. You feal sorry for him. He runs away with his tail between his legs at your last message.
WUSS!
