I think you and I have the same restrictions - nothing wrong with that! They are the same standards your Mama would want you to have. ;-)

Nothing wrong with your profile Jackie. It is intelligent and well written. You are very pretty; not at all "a few extra pounds" btw.

My only suggestion is to have a little fun, lighten up. This online thing should be enjoyable if nothing else. Try to think of flirting a bit with the person who is reading it. Think of one particular person you would want to know all about you and write to that person as if they didn't know you.

Keep it short, the average person reads at the 8th grade level [according to journalism 101 anyway ;-) ] so anything long and many will lose interest quickly.

Good luck Sis.

You need to accept that this relationship is over. You got caught up in the games people sometimes play. He canceled a date for a ballgame so you ignored him; so he got back by ignoring you. So the battle begins. Most relationships never surive those games - if they do then they are damaged at best.

The best thing you can do is learn from your mistakes so you don't carry them into the next relationship you have. Someone cancels a date, tell him how you feel. If it becomes a pattern then you need to decide if you are willing to be in a relationship with someone who doesn't honor his commitments. (If in fact he made plans to be with you, communcation breakdown maybe?) Or should you expect better treatment than that? (the answer here is yes, you should)

He delivered the message early on that he wasn't interested; the lack of being available, coming over less and less. He tried to back out gently but the message wasn't received. His trip where you saw the pics with other girls - he had already told you he didn't want a relationship with you before that trip.

None of this is meant to be harsh; I have been there too. It's just time to regroup and make the decision not to make the same mistakes next time.

Good Luck; it will happen for you.
