Saturday

Yesterday after work I was having supper when my best friend called and wanted to know if I wanted to go swimming.
Her parents ( my godparents) have an outdoor pool.

I hate going because my old house (which is now occupied by my ex and his wife and step kids) is in the back yard. I hate that it's not more private but last night it was fine because everyone is gone out to a big car festival in town. BONUS! :)


I decided to go, we swam from 7-10 pm in a heated pool... It was soooo nice!

This is the pool... but without all the balls. This was taking at a party.


She is like my sister, my best friend since she was born.( she's 3 yrs younger then me) I love her!
We laugh so much when we are together.

I had a bit of a disagreement with dude #2 .
He's all like I want to see you again. I told him I was on vacation next week that I would come up or he could come down on his days off... He said he was trying to work out a day we could spend together. But that it was hard because he is trying to juggle "responsibilities and desire" and that it was hard.... WTF???
If he was that into me like he says he is he would make the time... and what responsibilities???
I don't want to wait around for him to figure out if he wants something out of this.
I came to the conclusion that he may be stuck in his single ways and not read to make room for someone in his life.
Should I say "see ya" to this one????? HELP!

Right before this all happened I had just hung up with my ex ( we are still talking) we might be heading to Edmonton Alberta for a wedding in a couple of weeks.
I wanted to check with him to make sure it was OK I tagged along with the gang and also that it would not start shit on his side of the fence.
We are sooo cool about it that I knew it would not be awkward but I just wanted to make sure since his step daughter will be with him.

If I can find a cheap enough plane ticket I am there. I have a hotel room for nothing, and I really need a getaway vacation. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Today I am off to suntan in this nice weather we are experiencing.

Have a good Saturday!!

Hi Julie - I don't know this dude and I wouldn't presume that I have the right to tell you who's right for you or not...But I do believe that when it's right it will feel easy. I'm definitely not an authority - I'm just someone who's been in good and bad/emotionally destructive relationships and have finally found someone who's right for me - and I think that healthy relationships usually won't cause anxiety or require a lot of justifying. But that's just been my experience, so...I don't know. Go with your gut! Good luck :)

Don't kick him to the curb just yet. Just be breezy and see what happens. It doesn't have to be a love connection right away.

Of course this could be total shit advice. What do I know, I"m too damn scared to even go on a date.

Good luck on the vacation. Nice you can be friends with your ex.

i think you need to ask him what these responsibilities are and if he thinks maybe you might go higher up on his list of priorities?

its cool that he says you are under the list of desires:)

that pool looks gorgeous btw:)

Do what your gut instinct tells you. Be honest with yourself and listen to that teeny, tiny part of your inner core that knows what's going on.

Do not, I repeat, do not "wait around" for anyone. That doesn't mean don't give someone space, or take things slowly. I mean: if you feel like you're getting strung along, or if you're having to keep your calendar open while he decides if he wants to go see another friend at the last minute, or take care of 'responsibilities', well, don't spend your precious time waiting on his decisions!
