    Hi Nancy,
    We spoke briefly a few days ago on IM. I would love to talk again and possibly meet. Look forward to getting to know you.

    Hi Ted,I am all for the in person meeting, email/phone can be a bit deceptive (em because you can interpret things how you like and phone because some people have great phone skills or just don’t – either way, I don’t think either is a great way to get to know a person). Wow, that was a long sentence.

    I may be in NYC mon. if that works for you…

    I am sorry it doesn’t. I also decided to not meet anyone from OK C. I even put it in my profile. I cant wrap my head around this type of contrived meeting.

    Ok, please remember you were the one who suggested possibly meeting. I find your response really odd.

    I know. I take full responsibility. And at the time I meant it. But the reality of it is, I cant do it. I can not meet anyone from a dating site. It’s just not in me. I apologize for the mixed message. And for wasting your time.  

  • Just now!
    k good luck.

Somehow Valentine’s Day didn’t work out exactly the way Nancy had planned…

I just want to be clear here.  This is not me.  I don’t love cats.  In fact I am allergic to cats.  I do, on the other hand, love this video.  If this woman finds a sane date I am going to try her approach.  Because, I love dogs.  I really love dogs.  I also really love candy.  I love dogs and candy and coffee.  Yup, that’s all I need.  Dogs, candy and coffee but not cats.

Nancy is dating other people and not discussing it with Mr. B and not liking any of where she’s at.

Nancy has a non-Mr-B date that also isn’t exactly what she’s looking for:

Nancy and I have a session in which she clarifies why she’s been thinking of ending it with Mr. B – and also why not:

I try to dig deeper into why Nancy’s still staying with Mr. B:

I then give Nancy to think about three questions to determine whether or not to stay with Mr. B – or anyone – or dump him.  There nothing like asking clear questions and writing down the answers to clear away the clutter:

 

Nancy gets frustrated with the state of her relationship and tries to figure out what she’s going to do about it.

Mr. B both pushes Nancy away and says he misses her – a tactic which seems to be working because Nancy’s not so into the whole committment thing either.

Nancy gets blown off for New Year’s – and clarifies the mystery of why there haven’t been any Mr. B posts in awhile.

Nancy experiences first-hand the reason I recommend online daters skip the phone/email yammering and just get right to the date.
