Ah, snowshoeing, for me it would be Bambi on ice

.

And how warm is warm for you? -5!

I have never been snowshoeing. I imagine it must be very peaceful.

Hey Abbey, how are you? Did the date go well?

Snowshoeing sounds like it would be fun to watch from the warmth of a Lodge, sipping Maker's Mark by the fire.

Hey Abbey! Tell us about your date

I am an "extreme" snowshoer

I like to jump off cornices and run full tilt down very steep slopes.

Well date three went really well. Date four never happened and I don't think it's going to. Friday everything pointed at he was into me. We were possibly going to do something on sunday. He ended up hanging out with friends which is no big deal. I sent him a message yesterday to see if he wanted to do something at the end of this week. He said he was busy over the weekend and he was starting to feel sick so he was going to take it easy the rest of the week. To me that indicates no more dates. If he did want to go out again he'd have said we should do something next week. Really glad I didn't sleep with him. Just unfortunate for him 'cause I would have the next time I saw him.

I am a bit addicted to speed, not so much driving but when I am on my racing bike 60 mph on the descents is a brilliant feeling. Car drivers go mental when you bomb past them. I came off at 45 mph about two years ago and slid into a wall, no broken bones, just a lot of blood and a bike with a broken saddle and bent in drop handle bars. I thought it was the biggest rush of my life,

. My mate went head first over the handle bars and was unconcious and I just remember standing up and laughing. He wasn't happy with me for a few days because I was too busy inspecting my bike whilst he was lying in the middle of the road. I knew he was alright because I could hear him moaning about his head. I said to him "That's what helmets are for." You could say I am a bit desensitised to the shock of it, that was his first major accident. He's a legend though, he got up eventually and said I am going home and started walking in the wrong direction.

Abbey, try not to read too much into these things, if he doesn't want to see you again, you'll find out soon enough, just relax, don't ring him or text him because he'll just get the impression that you're clingy. Let him come to you, because he will if he's interested.

That sounds like a rough accident mermaid. Glad you were fine. As for the message, I know those messages. I've given them. Keep putting off a meeting but never giving a time for it. It works to hold someone off that you aren't interested in. I'm just washing my hands of it. I need to stop listening to other people about my personal dealings. My friends had me conviced that my ex loved me, then he dumped me for no good reason. After talking to one of my guy friends about this guy he was a bit suprised and informed me this guy was acting the way he would if he was really into a girl. I need to stop listen to all them and start paying attention to my paranoia again.

Part of my problem is I don't really know how to date. My only two boyfriends turned into relationships really fast. So this dating someone thing is hard for me. I like to know where I stand with someone and I don't see it happening anywhere in the near future.

Edit: Oh and Alan, the extreme snowshoeing sounds very exciting. I think I'd probably spend a lot of time on m face though.

I don't really know what to say because I am not exactly brilliant at the whole dating thing either. Do you really like this guy? Does he make you laugh and can you talk to him easily? If so, then he probably does enjoy your company in the same way, if not, then maybe that would explain why he's sending you the messages he is.

I'll be frank, Abbey, I don't really know you, but you seem like a really nice unassuming girl, and if this guy doesn't pull through then it's his loss and somebody else's gain.

I've never had something go so smoothly, or been so at east with someone as fast as I was with this guy. I did find out that he is only a couple months out of a 4 year relationship in which he was living with the girl though. I had thought he and I connected. I wasn't pushy or clingy. He could have canceled the friday date because he had a friend comming into town a day early. Instead he asked if I'd just come over earlier. I sent him a few messages between sunday and Tuesday but one was to see if we were going to do something like he had suggested and the others were things like letting him know what he was passing up on on suday. Then monday hoping he had a good time the previous night. And then the dreaded do you want to do something.

Thanks Mermaid, that's what I'm trying to convince mself. I think I'm backing out of the dating game for now though. I think I need to do a little work on myself before I try it again. I used to be a lot different then I am now and it hasn't been all good changes. A lot of good and a handful of not so good.
