Unsolicited

I made the mistake of saying something about my lack of dating life on my FB and then I remembered why I never do that. Unsolicited advice came from the woodwork. Accusations of negativity and supposed anger. I'm glad I was at work and unable to properly get into things with these friends.

The most frustrating part of the advice is that it always seems to come from those who have ben married for years and have no concept of how horrid the dating world is these days. They have lived vicariously through their children's experiences in that regard and somehow think that it's the same thing. In most cases, their kids are a decade younger than I am and it's far from the truth.

So I've learned my lesson, again. Don't post anything about having a lonely heart on FB.

Or...not

After six months of texting with the Fireman, I wondered if he was ever going to ask me out on a date. I was starting to feel like I only bothered him when I texted him. And I realized that I always had to initiate the conversation. So, I decided to get to the heart of the issue.

I sent him a text. I asked him if I was bothering him and did he want me to leave him alone. I asked if he was still interested.

I got no reply. Nothing. That was two months ago.

So. That's how it goes.
