I just broke up with a wonderful man (see below).
We ended it about a week ago. But it was over the Thursday before Thanksgiving. That was when he told me that he "just didn't see us pulling through this". "This" by the way was his fear of changing his life just to be with me. We were long distance, you see.
So now, in honor of a friend who wrote her dating sagas in a blog but stopped because she is now dating someone she loves (who started her blog in honor of a friend who stopped her dating blog because she fell in love), I will carry the torch.
What should a girl do after a breakup? Well, probably take some time to mourn. Take some time to rebound. Then get back out there. HA! I was on Ok Cupid the Thursday he made that call. I joined eHarmony the day after our final goodbye to each other nearly a week later. He set me on a path. I was a single, vivacious, independent woman who had no need for a man. Now I am still single, vivacious and independent, but I am ready to be a coupled, vivacious, independent woman who needs her man.
In 5 days on eHarmony, I already have about 35 matches, 18 of which I am currently "communicating" with, and I have archived about 10 more.
On OK Cupid, I am probably communicating actively with about 5-8 men. Not sure, honestly.
The other thing I think a woman should do to reclaim her life is get a new look on it. Tonight was rearrange furniture night!!! I wasn't supposed to do it till Saturday, but I was bit by some crazy motivation beetle. It was insane! I was totally on fire.
BEFORE
AFTER
It's a little hard to tell, but essentially - my bed and papazan switched places. And the bookshelves moved to not only make room for the bed but to have reading nook. :)
So there is your intro. More later. More on the dating itself, I hope!
