That's hilarious that you say that. I've been going to the gym and eating well since last November and have dropped 80 pounds. That's where i got the boost of confidence to start putting myself out there again. A ton of my friends and family said I looked a hell of a lot better than I used to. I went from 346 down to 267 and I'm still working at it. I put that in my profile to thinking maybe more women would have interest in me since I started taking better care of myself.
Keep at it man, that is good progress!
Anyways, I haven't posted in here for awhile. Had written up a whole thing about this girl that's still living with her ex. but we had a thing for each other and started dating. We got some history that took a bit to get past but it's old news at this point. I'd debated breaking things off last I posted but ended up sticking it out after thinking on it more.
Things were a bit all over the place. We haven't had any time for each other because of our schedules over the past month, and over the last week I kind of hit a wall where I thought if we can't really see each other we're probably just better off as friends. We just weren't talking as much as we used to and I was getting stressed.
Long story short we argued about it a few times, finally got to see her for a bit before I had to go to work one day when we were both back in town and talked it out. Was hard but damn, seems we really do like each other a lot. Talking in person and looking right in each others eyes made a big difference - a lot more raw emotion from both of us.
It came up again because I thought she'd have some time this weekend and instead she just said she had some other plans. Didn't really expand on what was up, so I started thinking well shit, if you aren't gonna make time for us then maybe an open relationship would work better?
She didn't like that idea lol.. Argued a bit more but I think we got more cleared up. Got more of an explanation of what was going on - Mainly friends from out of state passing through she hadn't seen in years, and the only time she had after work was towards that. Made some definite plans to see each other this week. We're talking more again; working on things.
It's not an 'easy' relationship but I know she's really keen on keeping me around, and things will get better over time when their lease is up and I can get better hours at my job - Working overnights has been stressful and makes it difficult to do anything together.
On a positive note - Got to take this her to a friends wedding at the beginning of the month, which was awesome. I acted a fool towards the end of the night (too many drinks had a lot to do with it) but it was a good time regardless.
I'll keep sticking it out. We make a good team when we aren't throwin' shade at each other and I think we're past the worst of it.
