A question of trust
This is definitely uncharted territory for me. I know I haven’t been in very many relationships in my life, but this is the most insecure I’ve been in any relationship I’ve ever had. Not once, not for one second, did I ever question the STBX, or doubt that she loved…

Worlds collide
As I spent Tuesday and Wednesday nights at The Auteur’s house, it started to occur to me just how much our lives are starting to intertwine. Of course, this is probably normal for this stage of any relationship; but the accelerated pace her and I have been on seems to…

Hacked!
About one month ago, I was singing the praises of match.com to anyone who would listen. After all, I met The Auteur through match. She alone has made a supporter of online dating sites. Out of respect to our budding relationship, I decided to cancel my match membership a few…

uncharted territory
Last week, the Auteur’s daughter, whom I shall affectionately refer to as “1B” said to the Auteur that she was ready to meet me. The Auteur ran this past me. I didn’t really have a problem with it. I work with kids her age (or a little older) all day…

preemptive strike
Wednesday, the Auteur and I were speaking (as we had been every night this week) and we were half jokingly / half seriously talking about getting together on Thursday or Friday (before our planned Saturday date) – kind of a preemptive strike if you will. Thursday she suggests we meet…

The Kid Goes Digital
Yesterday, I stepped into the digital dating domain and bought a 3 month membership on match.com. I set up an account earlier this week, but a user can’t do much beyond window shopping without buying some kind of membership. Aye, there’s the rub. Of course, the fact that a few…

The Ivy Incertitude
I’ve made passing references to Ivy in previous entries but I haven’t gone into much detail, so here goes: I met Ivy last summer at the Kenny Chesney concert. If memory serves me correctly, she may have been the first person sis introduced me to when we started tailgating that…
