LOL, yeah, that's something I should probably work on. *** So, work was stressful and I got slammed at the end of the day and had to stay late for 2 rush files that really should have been ready in the morning, but weren't (and did I get a thank you? No, of course not. Sorry, I'm grumpy today.), so didn't get anything done. Well, not strictly true, I did a few minutes of weights and 3 sets of box squats. As for the guy, he's sticking around so far. Though I'm not really sure about him now. He seems nice, but it seems like we're total opposites. So I don't know. Is it weird for me to be unsure at this point? ETA: I think I know what's putting me off a bit about this whole thing. So he asked me out and I said yes, but I feel like he didn't really ask me out. He said "when will you go out with me," not "will you go out with me," like he assumed it was already a done deal. I didn't really like that. It made me feel like I'm obligated or something just because were talking, although I'm sure that wasn't his intention. Am I just being weird? I also have to admit, I went into this assuming that it would go badly (I've never had a good dating experience) (and I know, that's not fair to the other person), so maybe I'm creating a self-fulfilling prophesy? Am I over-analyzing things? 1 Quote New Battle Log, Old Battle Log, Current Challenge 2022 Challenges: Challenge 1, Challenge 2, Challenge 3, Challenge 4 2021 Challenges: Challenge 1, Challenge 2, Challenge 3, Challenge 4, Challenge 5, Challenge 6 2020 Challenges: Challenge 1, Challenge 2, Challenge 3, Challenge 4, Challenge 5, Challenge 6, Challenge 7 Link to comment

Just trying to get more consistent with everything. I feel like I haven't been as consistent this month as I'd like, so something to work on. Intellectual: 100% plan: - Revise 1 and a half to 2 pages every day ✔️ -- Rewrote a few more pages. Nearly done with the first draft. It's absolutely terrible, but I think I have all the elements I want at this point and I'll be able to prune and fine-tune when I start revising it. But once I finish the rewrite I need to go back to the previous chapter and finish revising that first. Have to admit, though, had some trouble with focus today. - Write down 1 new plot point a week 10% plan: - Revise half a page. Miscellaneous goals: - Read 30 minutes a day ✔️ -- Finished the book. That's 5/40 books for the year so far. The only problem now is having to wait for the sequel from the library. - Cook breakfast on Sundays - Go to bed half an hour early - Draw once a week - De-clutter the junk room once a week So, the guy I've been talking to has stopped texting me. I sent him a few texts over the weekend, but got no response, and he hasn't texted since then (which is not like him, or at least, what I know of him so far, he's pretty chatty), so I'm assuming I've been ghosted. I don't know if it was something I said or didn't say, or what. And I don't know how long I should wait until I know for sure I've been ghosted, but I don't know, seems pretty definite at this point.

If at all possible, try not to worry about 'what you did' too much; that kind of behaviour is 100% on him, NOT YOU. You deserve someone who is just as invested in developing the relationship as you are: don't settle for 'available', when you will be able to find 'enthusiastic'!

In the interest of charity, let's suppose that he probably got caught up in some stuff and wasn't able to communicate back to you in a way that met your needs. Whether you stick around for that or not is up to you, but it doesn't make sense from out here to spend time on something that isn't going to let you meet your needs. It's not good and not bad. The unpleasantness makes it easy to attach a value judgment to it, but down that road lies madness and you don't need that. So, take a breath, let it go. You did your best, and I'm sure he meant to do the same. It just didn't click into place. 4 Quote Work like a farmer, train like an athlete, fight like a soldier. 2 Tim. 2:3-6 BATTLE! Link to comment
