Moving on at first proved to be... a very difficult process. Some times when I think I didn't want to move on, others when I doubt I even could. I was beginning to doubt myself and my abilities to feel something special for someone again.

And then he stepped in.

He renewed confidence in me. He pushed my boundaries and past my comfort zone. He helped me take a step forward to something so wonderful.

Ladies and Gents I want to thank Mark for being a nosy bastard who can't keep his own business to himself. :8F: For it not for him, I wouldn't have just spent the weekend with a guy so great I met on a local dating website that Mark made me sign up to.

He's amazing. :jess: He's the perfect blend of dork, hot and cute all in one. Bashful and unaware that he has such an amazing body (which is good because there isn't any way by conventional means that I could get a guy THIS hot) and a quirky personality that looks at the world differently. I believe our first conversation consisted about arguing over Canadian Geese vs American geese. Or trees. Probably both.

That's his only fault, that he's American. But he lives about an hour over the border, so a 3/4 hour car trip certainly beats an 8 hour plane ride.

The weekend consisted of me commenting on American Mailboxes and how epic and straight from the TV they are, eating cookie dough at 5 am with one his friends, wrestling against him and said friend to try and get back a piece of paper (apparently Canadian women are freakishly strong :ohoho: ), popping my Halo Cherry by playing my first ever game with him and mostly being surrounded by 4 Americans who proceeded to throw words at me for 2 hours, trying to find things that I said differently or weird... or just generally taking the piss for me being Canadian. :hmph: haaahm.

And we made out a lot. :ryan:
 
hahaha how awesome for you!! Congrats on the new fella! PICS thanks ;) I'm always happy to see a hot bodied bloke!

Dating sites are becoming widely accepted these days and its great, specially for people who find it hard to walk up to people in a bar or anywhere else!

Anyway, good on you :D
 
Ooooh that's nice!

Perfect weekend for this sort of romance to happen! =D

I've never signed up to those sites before because I'm too scared of the weird people I might come across. >.<

But good on you for finding someone awesome! And good on Mark for pushing you to sign up in the first place!
 
Congrats! nice to know ya moved on and met an even better bloke!

I wouldn't take the dissing Canadian thing to heart, they probs jus tryna muck about with ya...

If they start gettin serious with the jokes they probs jus jealous cos they aint Canadian....

Us Aussies get dissed like that too so I know how ya feel :P
 
See life works out some times =). Glad to hear it Channy, just take it slow! That's all I can say. I know ya'll just met, but enjoy the newness, and stuff.
 
Thanks guys. I'm super stoked about this. :yay:

Yah I don't take the digs at being Canadian seriously, he told me later they were just trying to initiate me to see how I fit into their group. Considering I caught on to some of their jokes and name calling (totally sexually offensive to each other but hilarious) I seemed to pass. :jess:

The only bad thing about it is that I mentioned pics, and then he said that he was really camera shy so then I dropped it, thinking maybe I could nab something of him later when he wasn't looking.. but I totally forgot. :sad3:

Now alls I have to remember the weekend is the Snickers Bar he bought me to put in my car to eat later.. but rly we stuck it on the dashboard and left it as a sign to know whether or not anybody had been in my car where I left it overnight.
 
I'm a bit confused, why did you need to put a snickers bar in the car for?

Couldn't you just lock the car so you know no one would have got in the car? XD

I dunno if I read that wrong and I probably have but can you explain that again please? XD
 
It... didn't help at all really. xD I was grabbing my stuff from my car and we were leaving it at the border (we met up halfway and I was staying over at his, and would SO get lost if I drove the whole distance.. plus this way it was fair). He gave me a Snickers as lunch I suppose (....still not entirely sure why he gave it to me actually :hmmm: ) but I don't like em, so I stuck it on my dash. That's when he chimed in with "We'll know if anyone was in your car if the Snickers is gone!"

...but yes I did lock my doors too anyway. xD
 
Oh very good I'm with you now. XD

I was thinking that you put it there to:

a) see if anyone had eaten it and therefore you would have known someone was in your car.

or

b) see if it had moved from that spot you put it in, to see if someone had knocked it while in your car.

I was thinking, if they had to break in you'd find out that way anyway. XD And your car would have been gone as well more than likely.

I was taking it too seriously, not realising that he meant it as a joke. =P
 
I'm really glad to have seen that things have worked out for you, Channy. I tend to avoid those sites because I'd rather let meeting someone come naturally, but that's not to discourage anyone from doing it. It's just not my thing. :wacky:

And Mark really should take all the credit for this. He's an amazing guy and to have him find someone who you could potentially fall in love with is incredible.
 
Mark can, should, and will, take credit for all of this. :wacky:

Not only did he encourage me to go after it, but he pointed me in the direction of said dating website that I otherwise never even heard of. He sat with me through the trying times of evaluating guys and trying to find which ones would be good enough.

And he helped pick the perfect one. :yay:
 
Thanks gaiz. :8F:

It turned out to be a bit of a bust though. I haven't spoken to him since that night when I got home, a few offline msgs were exchanged but I haven't seen him online 90% of the time the last couple weeks, and if I have, he was idle/busy.

BUT

I don't care. :monster: I feel a bit shirked thinking it coulda been more, but whatever. If he's not interested then he's not interested. Plenty of fish in the sea.

Point of the matter being though I'm no longer depressed an shit and finally feel closure, and ready to be out in the dating world again. Infact, I have a date for monday afternoon.

Channy's got her groove back :yay:
 
Oooooh a date!

I don't think I've ever really been on an official date.

I think we just ended up together without officially asking each other out.

Glad to see you're not dwelling on the last relationship.

It took me over six months to get over one of my relationships that only lasted three months. :gonk:
 
It sucks that I felt like I needed to move on to someone else to feel ready and out of my last relationship, which probly could have been really destructive if this went any further. But, better a rebound than nothin I guess.

Date got bumped to tomorrow due to shit snowy weather cause I'm afraid to leave the house when it dumps 6 inches. :wacky:
 
Aww, that's awesome, Channy. It's really great that you found an adorkable guy like that. Hopefully it works out. You're keeping an awesome attitude about it by the way: if it works out, go from there; if it doesn't, move on. Reason I point that out is it's easy to get stuck in the whole funk of something not working out because you kept your expectations way too high. Relationships are fickle and starting out with someone new is exciting but that's just as iffy, you never know how it can go. Just take it easy and keep having fun with it! He sounds awesome and like I said, I'm really happy for you. Tell us how the date goes. :)
