Ok, there is this guy that I went out 3 times with. He asked me if I wanted to get Chinese tonight, and I told him yes. I am feeling kind of sick because it was Mexican day at work... and seriously Chinese on top of Mexican is asking for trouble. Lol. At any rate, I want to hang out with him. But how rude would it be if I suggested a movie instead? (it's one that he showed interest in) One friend said it would be rude, and one said it would be OK. I kind of want to go with the majority on this one. Guys and girls, let's have it... is it rude to change the plan?

Naa... that's not rude.

If anything, it will let this guy know that you're interested. You aren't feeling well and yet you still want to hang out.

A movie is a good idea - popcorn will help settle your stomach too! :)

(BTW: the ULTIMATE in movie food?? Buy a small popcorn and a bag of peanut M&Ms. Pour M&Ms into the popcorn. Ration= 2 popcorns, 1 M&M. Divinity! ;) )

I don't think it is rude. I think he will understand, no worries!! Have fun at the movies!

Definitely not rude at all. Like Historian said, it shows you still care enough to actually want to hang out

Seriously, are you my long lost sister?? When I go I always get popcorn and goobers, which is like peanut M&Ms!! Lol. :)

OMG... I could totally go for twizzlers right now too.

LOL! I blame it on my Gilmore addiction...

Just another nail in the coffin of "You are Lorelai Gilmore!"

Have fun tonight! ;)

MMmmmmm twizzlers... Sour Patch Kids... Goobers...

Crud... :)

Add Romefalls into that mix and the night becomes one to remember... I prefer One Tree Hill though

Aww... you're a doll. I'm sure RomeFalls would make it a night to remember! You agree, Mafia? Think we should make room on the couch?

Although, you should try GG... my brother thinks the show is not half bad!

(Don't tell him I said that though... ;) )

Ok, thanks a lot guys! I just asked him. And he said it was OK. Let's hope he didn't have his heart set on Chinese... I could do it, but I doubt he wants to hold my hair back for me. LOL.

I love OTH!!

Ha ha yea, I don't tell a lot of my friends I watch One Tree Hill, or the O.C(when it was on) or those sappy drama shows ha ha

Heck yes there's room on the couch. Watch some GG, some OTH, and stuff our faces. Sounds great to me!

Or... you could have him over to your place, let him order Chinese in (you get your trusty microwave popcorn), and watch a movie on your cozy couch...

If he has his heart set on Chinese, that is... :)

Glad it worked out for you - see! Trust us. We be wise. Wise are we. :)

New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee... crud... this could pose a problem for the couch thing...

And besides, you have a hot date! :D

Rome and I will watch our dramas and stuff our faces... you enjoy your movie!

An honest woman. Yessss...

Darlin, now I'm convinced we were separated at birth. Wow...

Oh, and what is this about Luke asking Lindsey to marry him?? Silly girl... Lorelai asked Luke. Dean asked Lindsey... :D

(you'd think they'd make new names... )

LMAO!!

Yeah, they definitely need to create some new names! What's up with that? Lol.

Honestly, I've not seen one single, solitary episode of OTH or the OC.

I'm addicted to GG and loyal I shall ever be. :)

LOL - although the comment "Welcome to the SH, b***h!" from Zach was quite funny...

Ha ha... Distance is no bother, we will know we are all watching together ha ha... And there is no shame in preferring OTH and GG to dating, They will always be around.

Reminds me that when asked what was more important by my ex... Colorado Avalanche or her... I said the Avs would be there if you left, oh how right I was

Ahh, yes, but will the Avs be there as long as the Preds, that's the question... ;)

Considering that the Preds are constantly being talked about being sold and moved, I'm going to go with yes ha ha

Rah... yeah... I remembered that as soon as I hit Post...

Ok... you got me...

I've never seen the OC neither.

I went from Dawson's Creek to GG to OTH. And I'm fond of all 3. lol.

OC was a good show, I wasn't into it until it got canceled oddly enough. But then I bought the seasons after watching a few of the episodes. I did watch Dawson's Creek as well ha ha.

No...

Possible...

Way...

I was a Creek junkie for years...

Wow...

We are now entering "Bizarro World!!!" This is really freaky...

What year were you born?

(Creek for you too, Rome?? Wow... )

Alrighty, time to head home and get ready for the movie tonight. Tune in tomorrow to find out what happens on the next episode of Mafia's Creek... hmmm no? General Mafia?? Umm... lemme try again... As the Mafia Turns??

I give up. Lol.

Have fun, Doll! ;)

No.....

1978. Lol. Getting old. ;)

1979, Sweetie!!

Wow

Definitely keep us informed, you're life is as eventful as mine at times ha ha

1986 here... Wow Youngen

no its not rude.

but if you can take the smell, you can always fill his chinese fix by ordering delivery for him and work out something different for yourself. Just a thought.

don't know about him, but when I get a chinese jones, it doesn't go away until I get the fix.

by the way... you worry too much. If you have to change plans, don't be afraid to talk to the person... its not like you were planning on adopting a kid and at the last hour changed your mind... its about a little thing... life, and mex food, gets in the way sometimes...

better to just talk to the person. If they go ballistic... well, then its probably better to know their temperament. Its just chinese food.

great.

now I'm dying for thai.

sticky rice and curry chicken with spring rolls.

this is going to haunt me until tomorrow... =P

Forget the movie, popcorn, and chinese. Law and Order is on every night, on TNT, who can miss that, with steak, and potatoes?

no its not rude.

Lol I didn't start worrying until my one friend told me it was kind of rude of me. I guess she thought I was being some princess asking for too much?? I don't know. I figured she was wrong, but just wanted a general opinion on the subject. Lol you are right though, I worry way too much. ;)

Seriously... curry chicken... thanks for putting that in my head!!

Forget the movie, popcorn, and chinese. Law and Order is on every night, on TNT, who can miss that, with steak, and potatoes??

Lol my grandmother watches it religiously! I used to watch with her, but she smokes like 2 packs a day, and I can't stand the smoke so I stopped watching as much lol. But seriously... I love me some steak and potatoes!! :D

Ok, so here's the low down on last night. I made him up a box of cookies, which was probably not a good idea seeing as if he will think I'm all domesticated and stuff. Muahahahaha they were No Bake!! Lol. Anyway, there was an awkward pause at the ticket booth, so I paid because I don't like to assume anything--besides I asked him. Anyway, no biggie. We watched the Bucket List. Words can't even describe how the movie went. It was too depressing, we should have saw Jumper. Let's put it this way, there was this scene: Jack Nicholson is laying there going through cancer, shaking and whatnot. It was really quite sad. And Ed busts out laughing!! It was horrible, lol. Annnyway, after the movie, we drove around talking, which was cool. At the end of the night, I determined that he was a good boy for the most part and would graduate from a knuckle touch to a hug. ;) Lmao!!

It was a decent time, we get along, he's funny and fun to be around. He even asked me to go with him to get Chinese. KP2171--you were right, I guess his Chinese craving isn't going away until he gets it lol.

I'm just hanging out with him and having fun. With 2 other guys as well but it's really no big deal. Not in the mood for a relationship after the last one, just like going out and getting to know people. There might be a few red flags with this one, I'm not too sure. But how much do red flags matter if you aren't wanting anything and if you keep your wall up?

Hey Rome, I did what you said... I went to my work meeting this morning, though the ex was there. I got all dolled up, went in smiling... and he wound up standing right behind me. Hmmm come to think of it, I wonder if he could see down my shirt from where I was sitting. LMAO!!

I'm very glad that you had a great night!

And, can you guess what I had for dinner last night?? Yup... Sesame Chicken!

I'm suck a sucker for suggestion!

:)

Ha ha.. Well if it was low cut, I'm going to go with a yes. I'm glad your date went well, last night I started watching OTH the first season on DVD... Then watched a DVD live show of my favorite band, which actually helped me out with a lot of the feelings I have been going through lately. It made it like a weight was lifted off my shoulders

Funny, Rome. We both were influenced by mafiaA's question, huh?

Your "lifted weight"... check out my Quotes thread... I've gone through a whole roller-coaster of emotions already today... The post I just added may help...

Especially the last quote... :)

Mmmmmmmm Sesame Chicken. Sounds great. Damn!! I'm seriously in the mood for Chinese now.

Yeah, it's kind of low cut, with a key hole opening. I wore little sweater over it of course. Don't want to look too trampy at work. Lol. I hope he started pitching a tent right in the boardroom. Lol.

Yay for OTH!! Who's your fav band? I'm glad that they help you deal with all this crap you are going through. :)

Favorite band is A Day To Remember... They have such powerful lyrics and the songs they write tell stories about start of a relationship until the end. Favorite song, Heartless

Hey, wow, they are going to be at Bamboozle. I've been thinking about going this year. They have a bunch of good bands signed up already.

I think I might just have to go to that lovely concert if they are there... They are so amazing live

OMG, I just checked out the line up for Warped Tour 2008... they are going to be there as well. And they are having a lot of the same people (for less money of course!! ) Damn I will have to figure out what I want to do!

I might go to Bamboozle simply because it's too hot when I go to Warped tour

... sitting at work.. . wishing I had some sesame chicken. Damn you historian.

Last year I thought Bamboozle was pretty hot. I liked hanging out by the indoor stage on the astro turf. That was nice. I think Amber Pacific played in there. Good time.

...sitting at work. ...wishing I had some sesame chicken. damn you historian.

LOL! Soooorrrrryyy, ISF! Get yourself some for lunch, give in to it... its not worth fighting!

Must. Fight. Urge. Been on this new "way of eating".. I refuse to call it a diet. Makes me seem frilly. Lost 18 lbs since the breakup and I'm feeling good.

must. fight. urge. been on this new "way of eating"..i refuse to call it a diet. makes me seem frilly. lost 18 lbs since the breakup and I'm feelin good.

Very nice! Na, its not a diet, it's a lifestyle change ;)

I lost 40 pounds after my last insanely awful breakup. The first 15 were due to him... the last 25 were solely for me. :)

must. fight. urge. been on this new "way of eating"..i refuse to call it a diet. makes me seem frilly. lost 18 lbs since the breakup and I'm feelin good.

Holy crap!! That is awesome! 18 pounds... wow. I wished I could that. I always get stuck at the 10th pound. Maybe there is a healthier version of sesame chicken you can make. But yeah... it would probably taste like wood. Lol.

Yeah. My vegetarian friend took me to this veggie meat place where he SWEARS it tastes like real chicken and beef.

... I ate a plate filled with what resembled wet cardboard... drizzled in sauce.

Then I saw myself 60 years from now eating this stuff ta a retirement home. Then I cried.

I devoted myself to gaining weight lol. I am trying to get bigger, muscle wise so 4500 calories a day.. I'm a champ at eating now but only drink water. I went from benching 200 to 260 since my break up with my ex. I've gotten bigger, got abs, and can run 4 miles without gasping for air

Hi everyone,

I just finished reading all six pages. Romefalls I'm jealous, I can't even climb the stairs without gasping for air.

I feel really old, I saw you all post your birth years, mine is, are you ready, 1970.

I'm going to go buy a cane, not because I need help walking, I just need one to beat you younguns with.;)

I haven't had chinese food in months. Thanks allot guys, now I'm hungry.:p

OMG... if I could eat 4,500 calories... wow... I think I would go to Chili's and have a rack of ribs, an appetizer--preferably the southwest eggrolls, and 2 long island ice teas. OK, that probably just took me over 4,500. Lmao!!

Lol, please you aren't old. It's not like you have an autographed copy of the Bible or anything... or do you? ;) Seriously... Chinese Buffet here I come!!

Ok, so remember this guy? He acted like he was waaay into me. And we always, ALWAYS had a great time. Last Friday, I got us tickets to see his favorite comedian and we got to meet him. And when he left at the end of the night he was making plans for us for the next night! When the next day came... he didn't want to go out. (This was the second time that he asked me to do something and was all excited, then we didn't get together.) Anyway, no big deal. Because I didn't want to rush things by seeing him too much.

But ALL this week he was asking me if I was still going to go our neighboring city's St. Patty's day bar tour this Saturday. I wasn't really feeling like going out. But it seemed he was excited, and it got me looking forward to it.

Well, I talked to him last night...

He told me that he wanted to stay local. I told him I would drive. He said "Nah." This is the third time this has happened. So more or less I told him "bye."

Why do men do this? They act like they are all into you, get you all excited, and then BAM! They just don't want to go out. Maybe it's because he says relationships scare him. But either way, I think I made the right decision. I can't see our situation getting any better if there is a pattern now. Right?

No the situation won't get any better with a pattern like this, and he sounds like a real jerk. If you want I can beat him up for you Mafia lol... Don't worry not all guys are like that, some of us actually look forward to a date and then go on it ha ha. I bet it will all work out and he will come crawling back to you, then you push him aside!

I think that's such a bizarre situation... why make plans if you're going to cancel on them?

Either he's just a fickle guy... or he's testing you to see how much you like him and how much you're willing to give in.. . but... GIRLS play that game. Not guys.

Aw, thanks Rome! Go all UFC on his a$$ for me!


At first I was all like... "It's BOYS like you that make my think I'm better off at home on a Saturday night with all my doors locked up tight. I won't be thinking about you baby." Got to love Brand Nizzle.

But now eff it. I'm going out. Screw him. His loss. I made his a$$ cookies for crying out loud. No bake of course. Lol. But still... we always had fun. HIS LOSS.

I know, it's totally bizarre. Cause the day before he cancelled, he asked me if I wanted to go see Andrew Dice Clay in Philly.? Bipolar much? I'm just not down with drama. You're right, I do see girls do this. And it's messed up and not cool. And I'm totally not like that.

He showed his hand early enough to help you decide if he is serious or not, and it's a good choice to leave him at home, by himself. Have a great time, without him.

Thanks Tal. It's times like these in the beginning when it's hard to make this kind of decision. You meet someone who is pretty cool, then they randomly throw out a red flag. Yep, I'm becoming more confident with my decision. Thanks in part to you guys.

That's what being healthy, and happy is about, avoiding everyone else's disasters, problems, and drama. Congrats on being able to see, and deal with red flags. Go back to your first posts, and see the growth.

At any rate, I was nothing but good to him, and I really can't determine what I did wrong. Am I destined to go through this again? I really want to gain something from this... but I really am afraid I won't.
from that post in November of last year, to,

Progress. And not even counting the great advice. Just so you know.

Progress. And not even counting the great advice. Just so you know.

Wow, thanks! Definite progress you're right!

I was talking to 3 guys in February. Now I'm down to zero... and it's definitely better to be single than deal with someone's crap. One of them was actually good though. No red flags. But he's leaving for DC in May to be an environmental protection specialist. Three doors down from Wolf Blitzer. I definitely aimed high with that one. And even though that didn't work out, I'm still going to aim high :) You guys are definitely encouraging and just plain ol' great!

Amen, sister! :)
