Single's Community

[one2many]

These excuses reminded me of this voicemail message I heard a while back. This guy is so obnoxious and seriously makes you glad you are single.

It takes a few seconds to load the whole page because so many people wrote comments. A friend posted this on fb months ago so I have nothing to do with the message or the site or anyone involved (that's my disclaimer).

If you need a good laugh listen to it.

LOL...turkey pot pie!

Ok so I'm starting to get overwhelmed...so I have a date next week w/one guy from match next week, and I've had two other conversations/texts with two other guys from match - and they are all nice and great conversationalists! I guess I'll have to meet them to see about actual chemistry, but when it rains it pours I guess...

[juneping]

^^this is so funny .....he can't take rejection and started a physco analysis...??!!

[spoiled_brat]

Odette, that's great! Yeah, definitely meet up with all of them in person... it is so important in determining whether or not there is chemistry (obviously). Good luck!

I'm 34...so I've dated and been in relationships (more than my fair share lol). Anyway, I sat back and thought about those relationships that worked out well and how they happened. And you know what...for me, none of them happened from a "let's get together once a month" type of guy. None of them happened from an MIA guys either (the type where you text/call them and never get a response). They all happened from guys that acted interested in me and vice versa. Now I'm not saying that the guy neede to contact me 24/7, chase me up and down the street or anything of that nature. I'm talking about basic, common, "courting" behaviors such as calling/texting, responding to calls/texts, etc. stuff like that - just general, consistantly acting like you're interested in getting to know me. I'm sorry but in today's age, there really is NO EXCUSE for not responding to a text message. Shoot, I've watched co-workers update their Facebook status in the middle of finance meetings, at a business lunch - but yet some dude says he can't hit a few keystrokes to respond to a text because he's "busy"? I don't buy it at all. lol It all boils down to how interested he is in you, because if he is, he will show it (and if you are interested in him, you will respond). When the interest is high, he will act like it. When the interest is low, he will act that way too. And sadly, there are some guys, they are only interested in you when there is (a) no one else is around or (b) they get bored (this IMO are what MIA guys are). Flip the script - think of the guys that have shown interest in you, but you wasn't feeling him - what did you do? Did you ignore his texts or only respond to his text when you had nothing better to do? I will admit, I've done that before (awful, I know). Anyway, I wrote all this to say that everyone of us in here is worth a guy's full attention. Don't ever sell yourself short or doubt it.

Looking back it is hilarious, but when I was in high school stuff like that just sucked for me and I am sure I cried or something equally embarassing.

Turkey pot pie...how ironic! LOL

[legsieloveslamb]

Well- I haven't had any lame "Turkey Pot Pie" excuses...... actually none at all.
I saw my guy today since he wanted to see me so bad. It went really well....... now I haven't heard a damn word from him all day and yes I texted him several hours ago. WTF is up with that?!
Meanwhile- I'm like PurseAddict, still somewhat hung up on the relationship that I did have previously before his "excuse" ended it. Why am I saying still somewhat hung up? I am hung up on him!!!!!!!! Ugh! Doesn't help when I hear silence from the other either! I did however contact a mutual friend because I want my CD's back!!!
I think I'm going to bed, it's night and of course it's better sometimes to leave well enough alone and just go to bed and analyze in the morning, if I even feel like doing so. Ugh! Maybe one more text to try..... afterall.... I know he's working.

[talexs]

Odette sounds like you're having a lot of fun with match so far. I have friends who have done this and the one girl seriously has a date every day of the week, that is not even an exaggeration. Have fun on all of them and hopefully--if you want to--you'll hit it off with one of them.

Today was such a weird day, work has been so crazy lately and I have been distracted by the occasional texting with the ex. I hate that, work has always been my place to go and block everything out--I actually use the office to hide sometimes--and lately it has been like everything else in my life; just a big mess. I think I have finally hit that point where I realized that it didn't work the first time, still didn't work a year later the second time and well I guess I didn't realize how hard accepting that would be. Ended up working kind of late tonight and was packing up everything getting ready to leave the office and for some reason I just started crying. Finally it all hit me like a ton of bricks. I know this sounds awfully dramatic but has anyone ever felt like they somehow just let that special person slip away? I know the thinking is that if it is your person you would be with them, but sometimes I just don't know.

Ok that was a real pathetic downer. Hope all you ladies are having a lovely night and thanks for listening to my personal sob story.

Sleep well hon, things always make more sense after a good nights rest.

I cheated on her with you so I had to dump her and now I have to leave you (personal favourite) Anyone else?

OMG, I laughed out loud at that one.

Sorry it didn't work out with your skateboarder guy.

excuses...let´s see...

-It´s my sister´s graduation, (then the week after) my other sister is sick

When they turn it on YOU : I thought YOU had moved on with your life, I thought YOU weren´t interested, well how do YOU feel, what do YOU think ? (as an answer to a question), I didn´t think I´d be on top of YOUR list.
YOU don´t want to see me.
This is tricky because at first you think you weren´t that clear with your intentions, and he needs reassurance...until you figure out he got it from the start, just playing...

And my own excuses to guys I wasn´t into ??? (I am mostly abruptly honest though as I hate being played on so I shouldn´t do it to others)
-I think we´re too different, but we can be friends
-I have so much work, but I´ll try to free myself...

[lolitablue]

LOL at all the excuses, guys!!! This is so funny!! I have been MIA from this thread just trying to figure out my own situation with the guy that is too young for me and some of you remember I refered to as someone that I have no future with. I too need to break it up but his persistence is just overwhelming. More to come on that.

Spoiled, hang in there!
