Dating Resolutions

New year, new leaf, new dating resolutions...

Here's mine:

Don't fuck up the really good relationship I started a few months ago. Given my history, the fact that he still likes me three months later is a good sign. I don't think he believes me when I tell him that I sometimes maybe a teensy tiny bit sabotage things by being a big fat jerk face. Example: get shit faced wasted and not come home or call or call the next day until the hangover is semi-manageable. I pulled that one already and he called me out on it but then actually let it go after we'd discussed it. Well, let it go after we'd discussed it a few times, but fair. I'll give him that it was disconcerting enough to necessitate the WTF? Was That conversation more than once.

So what are your resolutions DIW readers and writers?

I will not move in with the next one right away, and I sure as hell won't share a checking account.

Probably ever.

I will make an effort.
Also, to go along the vein of SG, I will not become bitchy and reclusive until the other person gets the picture. It's not a nice way to be.

well, my last date and i are to be married 2 weeks from tomorrow, so i guess my only resolution is that i must vaguely remember all the culls, miscreants, oddballs, dear friends and not-so-perfect-for-me men i've dated over these many years, so as never to take Mr. Wonderful's wonderfulness for granted.

My resolution is to find someone with shared interests and work up the courage to ask him out instead of sitting around waiting for him to notice me.

to try to find a non-psychotic woman---
i'm not delusional, i'm willing to settle for post-psychotic. i'll be perusing the pharmacies until i find a woman with the right prescription.

OK, c.v., sure. But what if that non/post-psycho's just resolved to find a little bit of kindness?

How would she ever find you? Or any of us assholes?
