So Many WTFs

Have you tried Toon Art? Very fun!

No joke! 😆

I think my favourite online dating experience was... We'll call him "Steve".
Steve was a FREAK and I liked it... A lot.
I learned a lot about myself from Steve, the s*x was like nothing I'd ever experienced before... I feel like I was seriously ripped off over the last couple of decades! It became an ongoing casual thing, no real strings attached, just 2 people who had a lot in common, great chemistry and just enjoyed each others company. But it was really just s*x... And that's all it was ever supposed to be. So when Steve would bail at the last minute, I let it slide a few times because I wasn't emotionally invested, we talked every day, it was what it was supposed to be.
Then he decided he wanted to meet my son. 😳
I've not introduced my son to anyone and had no intention of doing so until I knew they would be sticking around for a while. He said he wanted to get to know him so he could spend more time here with us. Ummm ok?¿ That never happened though because one Tuesday night he text me at 7, said he'd be here about 9ish, and I never saw or heard from him. Just nothing lol I text "did you die?" around 10... Nothing. Nothing the next day, or the next day lol I seriously thought maybe dead? Jail? Couldn't just be that he decided to just not show up and never speak to me again! I randomly sent texts every couple of days... Mostly jokes about him being abducted by aliens... A**l probing and the like. Weeks later I still had absolutely no idea if he was even alive. So I just accepted the reality that he truly was abducted by aliens. I saw him online on the dating app one day, figured they'd returned him and his memory must've been wiped cuz he still hadn't text lol ;)
But in reality, I have no idea wtf happened that night! It was good for a laugh for a few weeks between my friend and I, a lot of good jokes and theories, til the novelty wore off anyways 🙃
Still no regrets though! I believe everyone comes into your life for a reason and they're not always meant to stay. It was an experience that I needed in order to grow and learn about myself. Always look for the positive 🌻

I just recently had a CRAZY online dating experience last night... Massive amounts of wtfs!
Long story short I started talking to a super nice guy, not so much my type but after my type wasn't really working out so great I decided to try something different! This fella thought I was the best thing since sliced bread that comes with the crust already cut off. Great sense of humour, very empathetic, good talker and listener, and just a genuinely nice person. Definitely a little quirky, but I like quirky, I'm quirky! Quirky is good.

Usually lol

So we talked for about a week and a half, met up for about 45 minutes, had a coffee and just talked, it was good, we got along great... I get along with everyone! He snatched a kiss before we went our separate ways and fast forward a week and he's already got our life planned out together, I'm moving in with him, bringing my son with me, and we're gonna be together till we're 80, happy as two peas in a pod 😳 I'm not even exaggerating, those are direct quotes! Then he got mad, went on a crazy train tyrade about how all us women are the same, said I was gonna be a "f***ing nightmare", said some other nasty stuff, then proceeded to talk about how great our life together will be lol I stopped responding about 20 messages earlier, but obviously I had to sit there and watch the trainwreck that was coming through on my screen before I blocked him lol good thing I've done this before and can find the humour and not take it personally anymore! I'm taking a bit of a hiatus from the dating apps for now after that one... I feel like I dodged a bullet and could've easily ended up chained in a basement

Learn it

I'm trying not to feel stupid... But geez
Naive is a more flattering choice of words lol

After the 420 meditations lol ;)

So last summer I decided to throw my rod in the fish pond and try online dating!
What an experience that has been! I've met some good people don't get me wrong... My new bestie is actually a guy I met on there, so I will never regret trying it out.

You learn a lot about yourself quickly when you start dating after a long relationship! I realized I have always had an intense fear of rejection! That's not great for dating at all :P But I've worked on that a lot and mostly I'm a zerofux kinda gal these days 🙃 I also learned just how insecure I was about myself. I used to be a free spirited, independent and adventurous woman who didn't need anyone... And I was systematically broken down and rebuilt as an insecure, anxious, depressed, dependant, emotionally fuxored person who didn't even know what normal was anymore or what I wanted or needed. Not really a great recipe for dating either lol

Through a lot of late night 420 mediations I have managed to ALMOST get back to my old self, but I'm going to be even more awesome because of everything I've learned about myself and life and people and love. Positive thoughts! ;)

After getting to know a couple of people I felt I really connected with, I started meeting one here and there. You realize very quickly that online dating is 90% just about hooking up and moving on to the next one... Occasionally trying to return for a repeat performance every few weeks via late night texts lol good thing I only need to be taught a lesson 10 times before I learn! 😆

Just kidding... Took about 5 times lol but each one was an improvement! And an experience that I think I needed for personal growth.
OK well definitely a few regrets lol but overall not an awful experience that made me laugh a LOT.
As of today I'm looking for Mr "Right For Me", I've always settled in the past because I had no idea what I was supposed to be looking for, but now I know (especially what I don't want anymore) and no more settling for this gal! But obviously you have to do a fair bit of experimenting before you figure out what that is 😇 Experiments have been completed, data has been collected, and boxes are ready to be checked. Here goes nothing!

But you know I have stories right? 😆😆😆😆

About 6 weeks ago I blew up my life. Like hardcore blow up!
But you know what? I don’t have a job and no longer have 80% of the friends I had a month ago, but I have never felt mentally better than I do writing this right now.
The story behind the destruction is a long one, a pathetic one, a painful one, an embarrassing one, and sadly all true.
I’ve co-owner and co-managed a small business with my son’s father for the last 6 years. A month ago I left a list of logins and passwords, bank cards, explanations for how to do things… and a “don’t contact me unless it’s to do with our son”. And I walked out for the last time.

Why so drastic you ask?

There comes a time when you’d rather live homeless under a bridge selling your body for crack than deal with bad human beings a moment longer.

So begins a new story…

Enjoy!

Thanks for checking things out! I hope you'll find my page both entertaining and educational. 40 something single mom from Canada and I just blew up my life recently 🥴🤯🤬😭 This is the story of me trying to put it all back together bigger and better than ever!

I've lead a colourful existence and have so many stories, some hilarious, some pathetic, some happy, some sad, but even the sad stories come with a lot of "lol"s because it's mostly laughable in hindsight and I'm a expert at self-deprecating humour. Learn from my mistakes and...

Always choose positive! 🙃
