i see sturgis and dukhuntr have once again abandoned ship. you have been posting your wisdom over on the divorce board, why not share some of your wit and wisdom over here on the fun side of the world.... after divorce dating and relationships??

it has been far too long since we have flirted on here, let's get something started..... ;-)

These internets is very very serious bidness. These folks are heavily engrossed in marriage building exercises and dating site stories to deal with wit/wisdom/or "fun".

That being said here's my "advice" on divorced dating and relationships.

1) find someone really young. make it legal but make them young enough to not ask questions like "how long has it been since you've been divorced" or "where do you see yourself in five years". I went the college cheerleader route but I'm an all star and have huge expectations and no fear. you all may want to shoot for something more realistic.

2) when you do find someone your own age with half a brain go slow. like, hey if I see you when I see you, ok? slow. This is your time to rediscover yourself and make yourself a priority.

3) keep a tight inner circle of friends and family. My best friend is my cousin. She very attractive and is a model and actress. This provides many avenues to date in case you find yourself completely single. If you don't have a best friend who's attractive with attractive friends, then find one.

4) don't get frustrated if you are alone on a Saturday night. Some of the best times I have had post divorce have been watching football in my underwear or going to the media store and buying cds. Take advantage of YOUR time.

*disclaimer* please read everything I write with tongue in cheek

Oh blondie with blue eyes, hope your day is great. I think that's flirting.


I wish I could say something classy and inspirational, but that just wouldn't be (my) style.

Rats abandon ship, I simply like to hunt. The season ended yesterday so you will be hearing more from me, whether you want to or not!

Especially since, in the last few weeks of the season, I spent every free minute out in the marsh and that put the wooden stake thru the heart of the relationship with the credit card date. I let that go too far anyway. She never had any real feelings for me. Only bad part is it put me back to thinking about the EX too much again.

I have some questions for you so I will be catching up soon.

yes folks, definitely read gekko's disclaimer as it could not be more true. if you take anything he says too seriously (unless he IS talking about serious of course) you are in big trouble.

my day is going fine by the way gekko, thank you. busy morning but good. i am winking at you, i am tossing my hair, and the cleavage is showing just right... now THAT is flirting!

mlhb

question duk?? we are all waiting...

ok, i have like 5 minutes before i head out to job number 2 here so i feel i must post my own anecdotes in response to gekko's list..

and btw, my disclaimer: take everything i say as gospel truth!

1. yea, you can go and find someone young, barely legal, a lot of us went that route right after leaving or tossing out spouses. def good ego boost temporarily.. gives you something to brag about to friends but trust me, not worth the intense migraine they cause afterwards. if you don't mind migraines, stock up on excedrin if you choose this route.

2. i agree with number 2. you must make yourself a priority because most of us DID NOT do that in our marriages. i know i didn't and i got stomped on and sucked into him far more than i should have. i will never lose myself in someone else again. none of us should ever lose ourself in someone else. i agree, SLOW.

3. well, i don't have an attractive male friend, don't have many male friends actually lol don't want to be friends with the men around here. and the male friends i do have, well, no thank you! haha so i guess should i find myself alone i will be definitely alone!

and, what a coincidence, some of my best saturday nights have been spent alone in my underwear watching tv as well.. tho not football, it would be law and order svu.. man, elliot is hot. and you know what? i don't swing both ways, but olivia is too. wouldn't mind looking like her at all.

good lord, if anyone listens to all this that is being posted, all i can say is i bid you good luck out there in that dating world!

good day everyone! gotta go wrestle elementary school children now.
