I agree, props for the texting and there is nothing geeky about staying in and watching British televison. I've spent entire weekends with Dr. Who. <br /><br />I don't think there's anything weird about the "figure you out" comment either. I'm sure he's just wanting some friendly input on whether you're ready to date or not, because he likes you, and he wants the best thing for this fledgling relationship.Susanleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14864319996180586857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382987150662081702.post-31387329452950522462011-05-14T09:56:27.982-07:002011-05-14T09:56:27.982-07:00You need to give yourself a break!

Just let yourself be. <br /><br />There's no way you're going to go down a straight path here. You'll go on dates, have feelings and then still love and miss David but then date more and then stay in. And it's the big messy up and down path but it's what's next. Just let it happen and don't feel like you need to answer all your questions right away. Just give yourself time. And pick out good wine. <br /><br />I suggest 'Spaced Out' with Simon Pegg by the way :)Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09553446998172625739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382987150662081702.post-54816992547663641022011-05-13T10:42:06.620-07:002011-05-13T10:42:06.620-07:00Bad question but I'm going to ask this anyways...Bad question but I'm going to ask this anyways. Why do you call this dating? Cancelling would be poor form if you were in fact dating him.

Tell him what's going on with you, the post-david mess.<br /><br />If he's willing to wait, and you're willing to try (when you feel up to it, not before), then try it THEN. Who knows... maybe you'll be over it soon... but if not, don't worry.Storm.

What is there ...I'm gonna agree with Andy here. What is there to figure out? You're not ready to date yet. It's been about a millisecond in break-up terms and you can't be expected to get back on the horse so soon. <br /><br />If this guy really likes you, he'll like you in a few months. In which case, you need to tell him that. Tell him that you like him, and you'd like to date him, but that right now, it's only going to be a rebound and he (and you) deserve better than that. You'd basically be dooming anything that might develop if you started anything now, whereas if you wait until you're not in love with David anymore, you might have a shot with Math Teacher. You don't have to be totally over David, but you need to not be in love with him if you want to be dating again. I say take a break, and if Math Teacher can't handle it, you don't want to be with him in the first place. <br /><br />What kind of guy would want to seriously be a rebound anyway?Rachelhttp://closetrockstar.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382987150662081702.post-84496838973035946742011-05-10T11:23:57.600-07:002011-05-10T11:23:57.600-07:00My family and I have always said- you always need ...My family and I have always said- you always need to have a vacation planned.

It's not lame at all! <br /><br />I think the Math Teacher sounds sweet and into you- nothing wrong with seeing what happens with him and having a little fun. I def think taking it slow is the way to go, though. It never hurts in any situation, esp. in one where you're still recovering from the last relationship.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17917351901695105543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382987150662081702.post-58815318469909062112011-05-10T06:47:53.817-07:002011-05-10T06:47:53.817-07:00I agree with IntrigueMe; just tell the guy you nee...I agree with IntrigueMe; just tell the guy you need to go at your own pace, and make sure that he sticks to that pace.

I think if you'd fallen right out of love with him then it wouldn't have really been love. Maybe it still wasn't-- you won't know for a long time... but it doesn't much matter right now I suppose.<br /><br />Why don't you just call up (or better, go out with) the Math Teacher and tell him straight up that you like him but you're still working through the end of your last relationship which is why your desire to date comes and goes. No harm in being honest, if he really likes you he'll be patient.IntrigueMehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08072366709639932651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382987150662081702.post-37220254078032406152011-05-09T17:36:00.587-07:002011-05-09T17:36:00.587-07:00it is okay. sometimes you need weekends just to th...it is okay. sometimes you need weekends just to think, hang out with friends/mom, relax. hanging out with a boy takes to much out of you... it takes a lot of work to make yourself look "cute" <br />you need nights where all you do is watch netflix. <br />-KKissing and Other Disastershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00593173794164893945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382987150662081702.post-89463508404466665162011-05-09T16:12:20.076-07:002011-05-09T16:12:20.076-07:00Jolene - here's the problem with that scenario...Jolene - here's the problem with that scenario...(and of course I don't hate you for saying anything)...I didn't get over my bf before David for YEARS. And therefore had a few semi-serious or not so serious relationships and a lot of bad dates during that time. Maybe no relationship would succeed because I was still hung up on the ex but how was I supposed to spend my time? my 20s? part of my youth? sad and lonely and celibate? I dont think so....<br /><br />Andy- believe it or not, I think this guy actually likes me. Why wouldn't he? I'm awesome...Right? :-)Toddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06844041827618501741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382987150662081702.post-90410823722388675202011-05-09T15:44:31.582-07:002011-05-09T15:44:31.582-07:00So is this fuck obtuse or dumb or both?
