The past six months have been a bit of a whirlwind for me. Many life changes (for both the positive and negatives) but somehow in my life all the negatives finished as the summer picked up steam. I had an amazing summer. I sit in my living room at the cottage, watching f1 on the tv with a clear head and a smile.

But re-entry into single life has been a roller coaster. Since my re-introduction into singlism I have had three distinct women. I figured it would be a fun Sunday read for people so here I go.

Lady 1. She had me in the recycling bin. See we had been on dates before many years ago. And she bucketed me into the “good guy but not what I want right now”. Most of the time I ignore her as I wasn’t single when she re-emerged. But this time I went for dinner. She expressed how she was ready to settle down (aka settle for me) and how sorry she was for pushing me aside. But this is where the story takes a hilarious turn. She has herpes now. She hoped I could see past that and try and build a life together. She had the audacity to send me house listings that she liked. All in all hilarious but it really taught me something. I have been guilty of it…and I know I have been picked out of it…but the recycling bin needs to be emptied every so often.

Lady 2. This one sucked. The grass is always greener lady. We clicked and clicked hard. Our first date was a 4 hour coffee talk. We had a ton in common. Our dates were a blast. We laughed. She loved random adventures. It felt like I had made a friend. Then silence. Her job was busy so I thought nothing of it. But then week 3 I asked if she got busy or moving on and I always give the out “if you’re not interested no need to respond”. Sometimes you fall off and a little nudge does work…but this time I got a response and not a great one. She had met someone she clicked with and it wasn’t right to be talking to multiple guys as she saw this one. Huh? So it’s not right to talk to multiple guys…but you obviously did when we were kicking things off. As butthurt I was in the moment looking back I dodged a bullet. People who talk out both sides of their mouth are not right for me.

Lady 3. The active recycling bin. She was going though a divorce and didn’t want to play the field. We had an awesome month together then radio silence. She told me she was going through a lot and needed to focus on her. I totally get it. I went through the same months back. But I know I’m in the recycling bin at the moment from the way we talk. Yesterday was the last message I sent to her.

Lady 4. The reason I entered single life. She was awesome but we both went through some traumatic life stuff back to back. It sucks because she is an awesome person. Timing can make or break things.

Hence here I am. A little therapeutic to write it out. Would be great if one of my stories helped you in a way (either with a laugh or knowledge someone else goes through similar) and who knows. Maybe I will meet someone like minded who would like to explore the possibility.

I’m a catch. I know I am as I have a good heart and a fun personality. I am 41 white and that typical work from home, casual life and always smiling type. I am super independent and that can be a good or bad thing in a relationship. I’ve been on my own since 13 so call me “stuck in my ways”. I have flaws but I know what they are. I am working on improving some of them (like my weight) and others I have embraced as they are who I am.

I have an awesome career. Fun activities to enjoy my non work life. I volunteer. I try and make the world a better place as best as I can.

I am looking for someone as equally awesome. If you’re jaded about single life we can share war stories. I am hoping to find someone I can build a life with.

If my ramblings have resonated feel free to message me.

I am wishing everyone an awesome Sunday as this is a great summer bonus weekend!
