Hey everyone!

How was your weekend?

Anyone have any dates to tell us about?

~~~

My weekend was good, spent a bunch of time with friends, including rescuing a girlfriend from a night home alone after she was stood up on a Saturday night date - we went out, grabbed some VERY yummy dinner, saw Insidious (scary!!!) and had a good time.

Also got some exercise, got my nails done , did some work, ran errands, and had brunch near the ocean with another friend yesterday.

Busy busy but very fun weekend!

~~~

How about you?

I had a date this weekend with an EH match that I posted about here:

http://advice.eharmony.com/boards/da...two-weeks.html (4th date in two weeks)

We had a spectacular night together. I cooked for her, we drank wine, watched a movie, lots of good conversation, tons of chemistry, first kiss(es). We're both on the same page as far as staying active on EH, but like each other and the direction things are heading. I see potential here. It's funny I've been reading a bunch of "exclusivity" threads here on EH advice today and think 2 weeks in is a bit early to start shutting down online dating accounts and slapping labels on our situation. I'm really enjoying the ride and I know she is too. All in all, a very good weekend here!

Jimmy - Sounds like a great weekend. :-) I think your post makes it clear that you can not rush to be exclusive and still be developing feelings for the other person.

My weekend was just kind of eh. Unfortunately my housing situation is less than ideal and has been throwing my mood off. (Found out that my landlord is in foreclosure AND that a condo I really wanted is now under contract. :-/ )

I had a 3rd date on Friday and the 'there' just wasn't there. I was trying to be really patient and give things a chance to develop, but it just seems like it's not there. I felt bad because he was pretty clear that he thought a 4th date was coming, but I guess my response was really clear because we've been quiet since.

Saturday was my book club which I did enjoy and then Sunday, oh Sunday.

I ended up going to an ex's house. He bought it after we stopped dating and had been saying I should come over for a tour when I last saw him. We hung out and it was kind of fun, though I kept thinking how weird the scenario was.

Yay! So glad we made you a good match, Jimmy!

Definitely keep us posted on how things go...sounds like you two are off to a good, strong start.

Sorry your 3rd date didn't go very well, but at least now you've cleared the path for the next person to come into your life, which is key. Here's to a your next date being a good one with the right guy! *crosses fingers*

And I could see where the scenario with the ex would be weird, definitely! Hopefully though the weirdness didn't impact the friendship!

I agree on the first part. I keep telling myself that saying goodbye to someone who is not a good fit frees both of us up to find someone who is.

As far as the ex, I'm not really sure about friendship. There's part of me that would like very much to be REAL friends because we get along well and I like him as a person, but there are still feelings there and as I mentioned in another thread, we did sleep together after breaking up so I feel like a good precedent hasn't been set for a healthy and normal friendship. The best thing for both parties would PROBABLY be to stop any communication whatsoever, but for some reason he is just one of those guys where I don't do what I know I should.

Awesome! I hung out with my guy and we exchanged "I Love you's" for the first time. I'm over the moon.
I guess I can call him my boyfriend now...

I had a really nice weekend with my boyfriend. We didn't see each other on Friday night, he was busy, but we met up on Saturday. We had plans to go to the History museum in downtown St. Paul to see the George Washington exhibit. Both him and I are history buffs, him more so than me, but I still enjoy that stuff. We were both history majors in college. We went to lunch at an Italian fast food place that I know, but he had never been to. The lines were long, mainly due to a convention in town. It was something along the lines of a comic convention or something to do with superheros. We ended up in the middle of a group of people from a college in Wisconsin that were all dressed up as South Park characters. Hillarious. Some people that I've taken to this restaurant love it, some don't. Lucky for me, my boyfriend liked it. He said he wanted to go back sometime when it wasn't so busy, to look at all the artwork on the walls and such. After lunch we went to the George Washington exhibit, and it was amazing! I learned a lot that I didn't know about him, and his role in our history. A lot of it was video, so we sat and watched stuff. It took time to go through, but was so worth it.

We had plans to meet a good friend of mine from college that night (she's the reason I moved to Minnesota) at 6pm, but due to how long it took to get through the Washington exhibit, I called her, and we met up at 6:45pm instead. We drove out her way, and had a nice dinner. We sat and chatted a lot for a long time, even after we were done with our food. It was going so well, I treated all of us to carrot cake for dessert. That thing was delicious, but huge. We shared it among the three of us, and still had leftovers to take home, which my boyfriend and I ate the next day.

We got back to my place, and I noticed my boyfriend didn't have his stuff with him for when he sleeps over, and he said he thought he would have time between the museum and dinner to stop back at his place to get stuff, but we didn't. So after we walked my dog, he went home for an hour, and came back and stayed over.

Sunday morning, I made pancakes for breakfast, and then I did laundry while we watched a movie. A friend of mine had lent me Yes Man, so we watched that. I must say I wasn't crazy about it, but at least now I can give it back to her. I have had it for a month or so now. LOL! After that we had lunch, and my laundry was done afterwards, so my boyfriend watched me fold my clothes up, and put them away, and afterwards we ended up snuggling on my bed for about an hour, just lying there holding each other, which was so nice. No pressure to do anything more. He went home after that.

In the evening I went to a friend's house to watch the ACM awards (for country music) on tv, and that was nice. My boyfriend is not huge on country music, but is fine with me listening to it. One of his favorite singers, Rihanna was on the show, singing a song with a country singer, and that was cool. Made me think of my boyfriend. That was nice. It was overall a very nice weekend. I hope to have more weekends like it in the future.
