First dates are always nerve-wracking but I think you handled it amazingly, especially give the potentially triggering situation. <br /><br />And wow! I totally thought it was just gonna be a cup of tea. You're not wrong to expect good old fashioned manners. Then again, a 'cup of tea' can just be a polite way of saying it. Again, I think you dealt with it as best as you possibly could. <br /><br />I saw in your comment to Annie that you've had some upsetting news :( I hope you're okay. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts, and am always here if you want to talk about it. <br /><br />Lots of love and a big ol' hug <3<br />xxxxBellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07544398450025713725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6562281218287648674.post-30736254801389465582015-07-25T12:23:08.835-07:002015-07-25T12:23:08.835-07:00Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear that Rubs.

And despite moving quickly, it sounds like he respected it when you set boundaries (so long as he continues to respect those boundaries! you both need to be comfortable with what is going on).<br /><br />Red flags, maybe not. Yellow flags, probably - but I'm sure everyone has a few yellow flags hiding in the shadows. Continue to re-evaluate as you get to know him. I agree that it's very healthy that you are able to be open and honest with everyone in your life about what's going on. It's lovely to see you being brave and plowing into the unknown even though it's scary.Tempesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17231346516896123249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6562281218287648674.post-75245311056199601802015-07-25T07:45:03.956-07:002015-07-25T07:45:03.956-07:00I'm so freaking proud of you, that is all I ha...I'm so freaking proud of you, that is all I have to say, I'm literally just bursting with pride and happiness for your amazing achievement!

But also, your issues <br />aren't all there is to you. You have a great vibrant personality, sense of humour, well traveled, seen a bit of life, lots of compassion. .. if you end up doing your course you can say that, too. <br /><br />Do you know I know a great guy, now married but if at one point he blurted out all his failings it would have given a very unfair picture of him. <br />"I'm a single guy, I live at my Grandmother's, I've been unemployed for 8 years plus, I have had severe depression".<br /><br />Well the very next year he got a great job and became a head of his field, all the women were just kicking themselves they never snapped him up. He's a very talented compassionate family man now, so a "snapshot" in time doesn't mean much. He was so so much more, and so are you <3Pacific diamondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16488603490542472873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6562281218287648674.post-86775712931098179862015-07-25T03:53:51.441-07:002015-07-25T03:53:51.441-07:00Aw thanks Shelby

And you did it stone cold sob...WOW ruby you did it!<br />And you did it stone cold sober!<br />I think that's a total success.<br /><br />I don't like people who make a move too soon . But I suppose it means he thought you were a bit of alright! Having said that, I've probably been on 10 first dates and all but one were very gentlemanly and never even laid a hand on me at all. The one that did was a bit weird in fact. But that doesn't mean anything. The Plumber may have just been overly optimistic.<br /><br />Single a couple of weeks? Then again the previous relationship could have been on the rocks a long long time and he just kept your number "in case". He's allowed to do that, he may be very organised. On the other hand, he might not be good enough for you.<br /><br />nonetheless I'm really pleased for you Ruby<br /><br />XXX Shelby<br /><br /><br />Pacific diamondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16488603490542472873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6562281218287648674.post-81329938292745992152015-07-25T00:52:09.861-07:002015-07-25T00:52:09.861-07:00Hey Steph
