Girl Dates London

Dating London one man at a time

Over-reaction

Reading all the comments on the previous post has made me realise I’m acting like a neurotic madwoman. Sorry. The combined effects of

  • being cold all week (no heating at work)
  • sore back
  • being uber-tired (too many grim client dinners that go on late)
  • being stressed (too much work… grrr)

have made me a not particularly balanced individual. But better I rant to you, though, than to him, right?

Thank you! You are a marvellous lot.

    Definitely better you rant at us!

    1. You don’t look unhinged in front of new man who you’ve managed to persuade that you are normal (god knows how :P :P :P )

    2. Half the entertainment would be gone from this blog if you didn’t have your crazy moments here

    Hope you feel better :) x

    Oh dear, go out and get drunk, you’ll feel much better - give the bloke some space they always bounce back

    Hey hey, missed the chance to comment on your last, but like Blue Soup I would have sympathised with the inner crazy all the while trying to be sane and sensible and believe the best. Hmmm what is it with us girls?!

    Hope he contacts you in suitably flirty, put-your-mind-at-ease manner soon today!

    Rachael: Ditto!

    LG: Just chill dude! :) Don’t look for it to go wrong before it does. It might not!

    Funnily enough I was thinking about your blog this morning as I was driving to work. I thought about how determined you are and how brave. You ditched Craig as you were unwilling to accept anything less than 100%. 90% of people are too afraid to do this and would have stayed in an unbalanced, unhappy relationship because they are too afraid to be ‘alone’. Funnily enough people in those relationships are more alone than the single people.

    You licked your wounds for a few weeks and got back on the horse - without complaining ‘Oh where is the man for me, why am I single’ blah blah.

    You’re pretty amazing and braver than a lot of people I know. Just stay strong and chill :)

    I missed the post yesterday but I am glad that you are feeling better and like the others on here, I hope he calls today and puts your mind at ease. Oh and I hope your back feels better too. :)

    Hurrah for not ranting at boy and instead realising that lunacy had grabbed hold. I love whoever it was that said he might need a poo. That happened to me last weekend when a neighbour popped round. Sure he thinks I’m v rude now.
    Also I get this phone treatment from dear husband. Somehow I’m expected to guess when he can and cannot talk at work. Surely it would be easier if he said ‘can’t talk now I need a poo/ have someone in my office/ am v busy and important’ instead of being offish till I get the message?? Actually after a few comments along those lines there has been an improvement. Don’t try that yet though. OK rambling over. xxx

    We all get bouts of paranoia.

    Rant away and share your worries all you like. What else is a blog for?

  9. Comment by The Blonde Blogshell | 2008/01/18 at 15:18:37

    Well? What happened? Did he call? C’mon!!

  10. Comment by DiehardPessimist | 2008/01/18 at 16:19:38

    Nope you were probably right about him in the first place. Always best to trust your instincts.

    He’s probably married with kids anyway.

  11. Comment by Tara | 2008/01/18 at 18:19:23

    Listne.. make him WANT you.. dont chase him. He will come back calling. I always get that way too, so I completely see where you were coming from. I felt your pain! Boys are dumb, but if they want to play a game.. play it back! :)

    Bluesoup. Glad to know that ranting is good
    Flirty. Going out – though not drunkenly. Ooof it’s hard to give up the booze.
    Confuddled. Glad I’m not the only one.
    Rachel. I must stick a note to my phone “Calm down”. Oops.
    TimeTraveller. Thanks for the vote of confidence. I don’t feel very brave sometimes.
    Treacle. I am feeling much better thanks!
    WLH. Good points..
    Jo. Quite.
    BlondeBlogshell. Yep.
    Diehardpessimist. Yay for such persistent pessimism.
    Tara. I don’t think either of us are playing games – I’m being honest and so is he – hurrah.

    AWWWW - glad to hear that things are OK after all :) I really should begin with the latest posts and work my way down so that I don’t panic on your behalf to a situation already resolved :)

    ahhh, it’s a natural girl phenomena. The trick is to listen to others when they trip us up on it!
