Recap and update

For the record I now have my laptop up and running again. Now all I have to do is get internet at home again (my wifi network I was using is no longer available)...

I didn't get out on Tuesday like I'd planned. She wanted to have a night for herself, and suggested Thursday as an alternative. That was fine with me.

We originally made plans to go to Buffalo Wild Wings at Cascade Station to watch the Blazer game, but then she changed her mind and we met at The Rock Pizza and Brew Pub, near downtown Vancouver. I'd never been there before. It was a great atmosphere, but the pizza left a lot to be desired. I know good pizza....trust me!

We weren't alone for this excursion, as she had brought her roommate along, as well as met her dad and stepmom there. I'd met her roomie before, but this was my first time meeting her family and I have to say they were awesome. Her dad was funny, and very generous. Before I even had time to find out what my split on the bill was, he snatched the whole ticket up and paid for all of us. THEN he invited us all back to their house to finish watching the Blazer game (which was why we were going out to begin with) as well as to have some more drinks.

We got a chance to chat a bit at the house during time-outs and quarter breaks, and then the older sister arrived. I'd never met her before either, but she was very nice, and seemed genuinely happy to meet me. She also said something about having heard so much about me, which makes me wonder if there'd been some story telling involved.

The night ended and we said our goodbyes in the driveway. I don't know if we're on the same level, but I was kinda hoping for a hug but didn't get one, and wonder if it's in the cards or not, but I'm not gonna give up just yet.

I did buy her a Christmas gift... nothing expensive but hopefully something that will be appreciated and maybe help me figure out what direction things are heading in.

If you have any feedback, as always feel free to leave it.

Merry Christmas to you all!

Been a busy last couple weeks...

First I have to apologize for not posting for nearly a month... My laptop has been down, and is still on the fritz... I should have it up and running soon.

Things have been good the last couple weeks for me. I've had a couple of good back-and-forths on Plenty of Fish, and it looks like at least one could move towards a meeting in person. There have been some negative exchanges though, such as the woman who seems only interested in meeting for sex, which I'm looking to avoid...

For a change I'm making connections with people who are my age or older. I think this might help me avoid some of the problems I've experienced in the past.

The first one I've been talking with is a stylist. Works in a salon. She's really nice, and it seems like we have some things in common, like watching movies and cooking. The other is a single mom who is separated from her abusive husband, who messaged me first. We've been talking, have a lot in common, and have been texting the last few days after exchanging phone numbers (her suggestion!). If I had to pick one of the two as far as who seems more likely to be someone I meet in person, it would be the latter. Nothing against the stylist, but she isn't as talkative and seems almost like she's only going through the motions.

I've also been talking with the Redhead, and even had her over the other night as a celebration of the end of the school term. No, nothing happened, except for some cuddling. We had some drinks and some pizza, and three movies to enjoy the night with.

Another, younger, lady from my past and I have reconnected. We had a fling a while back and she's having some difficulty with her current relationship (read: deadbeat dad-to-be). While I'm not really looking to get involved seriously with her, I wouldn't mind going out and having some fun times with her. Honestly, part of the reason is this is going to be her fifth child, and that's kinda too many for me. If I become seriously involved with a single mother, with plans for the future, I think two would be my limit.

I'm due to go out tonight (it is after midnight at this time) with my date from the game. She and I are going to go and hit up some brew pubs. Not sure how many, but we will be starting with the Salmon Creek Brew Pub in downtown Vancouver. Great beer and good food. Good times will be had.

I'll let you know how the night goes. And, as always, please feel free to chip in with any comments, insights, and/or advice.

Ok, so I'm slacking...

But I have a good excuse! I have been without computer for the last month or so, because the backup disc for the laptop seems to be faulty.

Anyways...

I finally got the date with Old Friend set up, and it was this past Wednesday. We had a lot of fun. She chose to go to a game and that's fine with me. The night before we went to Lloyd Center in Portland to get her some gear, which turned out to be a t-shirt. We also had some food at the food court, but it wasn't really anything super memorable.

We ended up having some pretty good seats for the game, which was fun, and got exciting at the end, before coming out with the victory. Afterwards we went to Voodoo Doughnuts, and tried some of their stuff. I'd never had their doughnuts before, but she had. I got the famous bacon maple bar, and she got a one-day special called the "Tony the Tiger", a chocolate frosted doughnut covered in Frosted Flakes. Definitely different. We agreed on the way back to her place that we should definitely go out again, either for a repeat or just for doughnuts. I was the chauffeur for the evening, so I dropped her off at her home, and said goodnight because she had to go pick up her son, and I went home for the evening.

We've been texting a lot lately, and I wonder if things are going to work out. I would like for them to but at the same time I don't want to rush in and open up like I always do. I'm lost. We have plans to go out and do some things, like go to the zoo, or meet up for a drink... Even a Northwest Ale Festival. We seem to have a lot more in common than I originally thought, which is great. I just don't know where things are going to lead yet, and while I'm not trying to affect the direction of things in any way, it's hard not to wonder where the path is going to ultimately end up; whether the road is a dead end or if it leads to something wonderful. I'll just have to wait and see.

I've pretty much given up on anything happening with the Singer. She is still hung up on her ex-loser and doesn't show any signs of moving on. The Redhead has been quiet as well, although she pops up every now and then. My ex is starting to talk to me somewhat again (we really haven't talked much over the last month or so other than a few texts here and there), and she always seems to do this when I meet someone; it's like she has a sixth sense on when to ruin my life or something (at least that's how it feels). The chick from Salt Lake hasn't talked to me since she went home, and really I don't think it would work out anyways.... that's a little too long distance for me. I can do 2 hours but not 2 states!

Well, wish me luck. I hope that I'll have more to report soon. And as always, if you have any comments or pointers, please feel free to leave them in the comments. And be frank. Not Frank, but frank.

End of the month Update

Honestly, there isn't too much to update on. I have been quite busy this month with work and other things so I haven't had much time to get out and meet people, let alone blog about it. I apologize for not being diligent about it.

To let you know what I've been doing, outside of work, I went sturgeon fishing on the Columbia a couple weeks ago. We didn't catch anything that we could keep, but I did hook into an 8-footer. Took me about a half hour to reel him near the boat, and then handed off to my dad (who didn't hook or catch anything all day) to land.

I've also been to 4 Blazer games, 3 of them preseason, and 2 of them for free. Last night was the season opener, and it was awesome. I got a new custom jersey, and they finally got the look right!

I've been talking to a few women over the last few weeks, with little or no success. The Singer is going through something similar to my experience with my previous ex, but she can't get over the fact that her ex doesn't want to be with her anymore and refuses to move on, despite the fact that she has several (I'm told anyway) suitors, myself included.

I met a woman online a couple months back that eventually moved to Salt Lake City before we met. She was back up here for a while and we were supposed to meet but scheduling and the cold/flu that keeps going around messed up those plans. We still text, but infrequently.

I recently reconnected with a friend from high school on a social networking site, and it sounds like we have a date set up, just need to pick a day. I don't know what or if I should expect anything out of this other than just having a good time with someone I haven't seen in nearly 8 years, but we always were pretty friendly in school and got along very well.

I am still trying to set up a dinner with the Redhead. She keeps hinting at things but then says "only as friends" to others... makes things confusing! I'm of the opinion that she's not sure what she wants yet, plus she's very busy and sometimes uses that as a crutch to keep from making a decision.

Still haven't heard anything at all from the Park girl... and good riddance. Last time I did she IM'd me and asked if I'd found a FWB yet. I jokingly replied that the position was open and asked if she wanted the job, and she freaked, saying she didn't do that kind of thing. Whatever.

I'll keep you posted on how things go... Maybe this date with my old friend will turn out well.

Complicated

So I have had kind of an interesting week, or however long it's been since I last posted.

Last Friday I got a message from a person on PoF, from someone that I'd put on my favorite list to message later. We've been talking for the last week, and seems like we're hitting it off pretty good. She is also a huge sports fan like me, which is something that we've kinda clicked on. We'll see how this goes. I'll keep you posted.

I finally was convinced to meet the woman I spoke about in my last entry. We met on Wednesday, at her friend's house. She was extremely drunk by the time I arrived (I came from the basketball game), and we chatted for a bit. She seems nice enough, but I have to admit I got a weird vibe from her. She had 2 friends over, and one of them had invited another guy back from the bar they had been at, for things that drunken women usually end up regretting. Due to the guy's psychotic behavior, it never went that far, thank goodness, but the whole scenario was rather entertaining, to say the least.

I can't really see anything happening between us though. We'll be good friends, but several elements of her life clash with mine. For example, she likes to party and drink. Like, a lot. As in, straight to the bar after work, and home by 11 to be in bed at 12. I, however, do not like to party. I rarely go out. And when I do, I stick to beer, don't drink excessive amounts (although there's been a few occasions, i.e. birthdays and bach. parties), and rarely drink hard alcohol. And honestly I don't want to be involved with someone who drinks heavily on a regular basis. Been down that road and don't want to travel it again. Not to mention I actually started hitting it off with one of her friends. That would complicate things lol.

In the last couple days as well a lady I met several years ago and have stayed in contact (Singer) with has told me how guilty she feels that she (in her own words and opinion) treated me like crap and didn't give me a fair chance. While I agree that she never gave me a chance, I would hardly say she treated me like crap. However, she's currently pining for someone who doesn't treat her right, doesn't love her, and doesn't want to be with her anymore, kinda the same situation that I'm in right now, but not as far along (I've come to terms and am moving on). She's having some family issues on top of that, so she's really stressed out, and I'm trying to be there to comfort her as best I can. I don't feel like I'm helping much however.

Why is dating so difficult for men? I'm sure to women it feels like we have it easy, but I'll be the first to tell you that it's rather intimidating. Maybe it's just me, but I know it's difficult to analyze things to see if things are going smoothly for the other person, to glean any sign of interest... It almost makes a guy wanna stop and be pursued for a change.

I'm no scaredy-cat though, so I'm going to keep putting myself out there. My slogan: Give me a chance and I'll make you happy. (too cheesy? let me know)

Confusion isn't just for the blond

I am more of a dishwater blond nowadays, but I still get confused like a pure blond.

I've got a potential new love interest, one whom I've talked to for most of the last year, although for the majority of that time things weren't gonna work out. But now she's coming on to me, and even though I'm looking for a relationship, I'm hesitant to just jump in.

I'm unsure about this. She's nice, even though we've never met, but she's also a bit too.... forward. The first thing she texted me about this morning is about how horny she was. Now if this was an established relationship and things were further down the road, that might not be such a bad thing! But considering that she's only started talking to me again since Monday, well, it's just a little too much too soon.

I'm debating whether or not I should say something to her about it. On one hand, I could put her off to the point where she loses interest, leaving me in the same spot I'm already in. But on the other hand, I don't know how much of the constant sex-talk bombardment I would be able to take before I get put off by it. Any feedback is welcome, of course.

Another possible complication with this is some recent dialogue with the Redhead. As stated before, there is a mutual attraction between she and I, and several of our conversations over the last several months have alluded to the possibility of exploring things with eachother, distance not withstanding. Last night we were instant messaging and she confided in me that I'm really the only close relationship she has anymore, since her best friend moved to Vegas (or Reno... is it bad that I don't remember this pertinent information already?). After a while, I goaded her with the statement "You know you love me", to which she replied (as if I wasn't me) "shh... don't tell Mr. Anonymous, it's a secret", or something similar.

Now tonight, we were discussing our need to get together soon, have dinner, something like that. She was telling me about how she's so busy with full time college courses and a 36 hour/week job, plus her son. I playfully suggested that she could come stay the night on a Saturday and let me cook breakfast on Sunday. This was answered with "but what would I do with my kid?" And after some brainstorming, she suggested waiting for the end of the school term in 10 weeks. Maybe I'm reading too much into things, but I'd call that interest.

I'm not as clueless at signals as I used to be. These two women are obviously interested in something, and honestly, if both were in front of me and I was forced to make a choice, I'd be leaning towards the latter. Much better chemistry. Not to mention the fact that I've met her already, and have spent time with her in the not-to-recent past.

What do you think, reader? Do you have any suggestions? Let me know.

Update 9/27

So it's been a while since I posted, so I figured I'd update things.

First, the ex. She started freaking out after I didn't reply to her messages and ended up pestering one of my relatives to make sure I was ok. I felt kind of guilty so I messaged her not long after and let her know that yes, I was ok, and left it at that. Conversation with her is sporadic at best, and I'm doing my best to not let things get to me.

I've heard once or twice from the crazy park girl in the last couple weeks. She just got her pc back from the shop and now has started school. She no longer talks dirty anymore, and isn't really saying much of anything so I figure that's good.

There's a couple of girls that I've known for a long time that I'm talking to more frequently now and there could be some chemistry. As names are changed to protect the innocent, I'll call them the Singer and the Redhead. With both of these women, there is a mutual attraction, but there are circumstances that keep anything from happening, although it seems walls are crumbling. Both live a good distance away, however one is farther away than the other. We'll see what happens.

As I mentioned in one of my last posts, I recently joined the dating site Plenty of Fish. I've been attempting to contact potential dates, with only one or two replies, and a couple of unsolicited responses to my ad, although these have turned out to be incompatible for various reasons. The replies back that I've received have seemed promising, at least just to start a dialogue, which I suppose that's how everything gets started anyways, right? I have ran into a few people I know personally on the site, but I shall leave them anonymous, like me.

That's pretty much about it. I've gotten over my fears of contacting perfect strangers, so I'm sending out more feelers, and hoping to hear back more.

Why is it so hard...?

So this is kinda embarrassing, but I've been trying to reply to a person on Plenty of Fish for like the last week but every time I go to do so I get cold feet. I'll be re-reading this woman's profile and description and getting all psyched up to mail her, but then I think I psych myself right back out of it.

I've found myself wondering tonight if perhaps it's because this person seems so compatible that I'm afraid of getting sucked in too fast should we meet, followed by the (so far) obligatory loss of interest. I don't see any other real reason why I should be so nervous about it. I am opening myself up to interpretation however. Feel free to chime in via comment.

Then again, another thing could be that this woman is a recent divorcee, and in these modern times that can be construed as a failure to commit. Like many of my single friends I'm not really looking to date anymore, but to find that special person. I've been told by so many people this past week that they're sure that someone is out there for me, and I believe that's true, but why is she so damn hard to find?

It can't be that hard; last night at my birthday dinner I got hit on by our server. It caught me off guard, plus I had my family there. Nothing like getting shot down in front of family, although my mother pointed out the fact that our server had a large rock on her finger (I didn't see it).

I think I'm going to watch Transformers and try and get up the courage to act, much like Sam did in the movie. After all, no sacrifice, no victory, right?

Got on a new dating site

So a friend of mine introduced me to a new dating site this last week, Plenty of Fish. I had never heard of it before. And now I wish I'd have heard of it sooner.

For years, with not much success, I've been on sites like Hot or Not and Match.com, Yahoo! Personals, and even attempted to get onto e-Harmony until I discovered you have to pay just to have your "free" profile posted. On all of the sites I've listed on though, you have to pay to be able to contact people you're interested in, usually along the lines of $30/month, if not more.

Well, my friend suggests I try PoF. So I go and check it out, expecting some runaround on how I have to spend per month to reap the full benefits of the site. But, amazingly, there is none! It's 100% free to have a profile AND be able to message other people. (note: Hot or Not for a time offered free meeting services, which I took advantage of, but only ever had one meeting out of the whole year)

I've already messaged a few ladies, and hopefully I'll be getting messages back soon. Who knows, dear feminine reader, perhaps a message is waiting for you.

Old wounds run deeper

So I talked with my ex last week, and she finally fessed up that she'd met somebody before she'd told me she didn't love me anymore. I still can't believe she wouldn't tell me, and that I actually had to prompt her to admit it.

Why wouldn't you tell someone this? Why would you hold back information like that, knowing it will only add more pain later down the road? Especially when the way of holding back information is withdrawing completely so you don't have to confront me with it until you 'work up the nerve'?

She said she was happy I knew. I'm not. I rather feel exceptional amounts of anger about the whole situation. I'm angry because she lied to me about him, I'm angry that she told me she just wanted to be single and not date anybody when she was clearly lying about that too, but most of all, I'm angry at myself for actually believing her. Again.

I've been avoiding her texts and calls since Saturday. She seems worried about me, thinking maybe I offed myself or something like that. Obviously I haven't. But maybe this is something she should be worried about. She knows just how messed up my life is overall, and that she was one of the only bright spots. She knows how devastated I was and still am. Perhaps I'm being a little vindictive too, turning her game around on her, but I just honestly don't want to talk to her right now. What I want is for her to give me some space, not continue talking to me like things aren't different, that my heart isn't in a million pieces. I want her to feel some of the same pain I'm feeling, of total loss.

I know this doesn't sound very noble of me, and is actually rather against my character. However, it's what feels right to me right now.

Sometimes you just gotta go with your gut feeling

So it's been a week since I first met Park Girl. I first mentioned that I felt slightly uncomfortable the first time we met because of the way things were coming across.

Well, turns out my uncomfortable feeling was right. This chick has been clingy as hell, and trying to trap me into a relationship. She's been incredibly needy, and if I don't answer her promptly she starts messaging the hell out of me or calling repeatedly.

The big straw came as she asked me a question that was a bit personal and I told her I wasn't ready to share that with her. She FLIPPED. She accused me of trying to use her for sex, which I'm not, and for not being open with her. I'm sorry, I just met you, you don't need to know my life story in intimate details.

So apparently because I wouldn't divulge private info, she's done with me. Good riddance.

Sunday wrap-up

Now to finish the Park Girl saga.

I woke up just after noon, and immediately the messages started pouring in. For the most part I ignored them, trying to have a normal day where I'm not being hounded by a woman, which in retrospect for this blog seems foolish considering I'm searching for a woman to hound me for life. But anyways, work time finally rolled around, and I texted her back telling her I was going to work.

It was busy, so I wasn't able to reply much to her, which ended up causing some interesting prompts from her. One period of time where I was away from my phone, she texted me asking if I was checking out her butt when she bent over to crawl thru the playground tube, and if I'd imagined doing her doggy style. Of course, I didn't get a chance to answer since my phone's battery ran out, so for the next 3 hours I had a reprieve from those questions.

For someone who's supposed to be a good church-going girl, she seems to have a rather dirty mind. Not that I mind, but it's almost never-ending, and that's a bit too much for me.

I think I'm gonna give her one more chance to cool it with the naughty talk, but if it doesn't happen, I think I'm going to have to move on.

A very long night

So I went and met Park Girl last night. But let's start from the beginning.

I woke up very late and went to breakfast, my normal Saturday routine. I came home and jumped on the PC, and she started texting me, and eventually figured out I was online. We chatted for a couple hours before I had to get ready for work. She kept pushing for a free pizza. I finally gave in, and told her I'd bring her one after I got off work.

Work was rather dull last night, so I was able to get out of there quickly and meet up with her. She definitely was NOT as advertised. The pictures she'd sent me earlier in the day were all head shots. Usually there's a reason for that; because there is a little more than meets the eye, if you catch my drift. Her photos were all well and good, but at first glance... well, it's more than a play on words to say that she was more than I expected. Don't get me wrong, she's very nice, she's not unattractive, and I am not shallow by any means (I mean, after all who am I to judge?), but it was a surprise. Anyways...

So, knowing I'd brought pizza, we then went to Burgerville and got milkshakes to enjoy with the pizza. Then we went and drove down to the waterfront and walked along the boardwalk until we found an area the sprinklers weren't coating with water, and started to eat and get to know each other. We didn't get very far though because she spent plenty of time complaining about how cold it was where we were. It wasn't that cold, but it was somewhat breezy. She was wearing 2 shirts and jeans, yet was colder than I was in a t-shirt and shorts. Not the greatest first impression. Eventually, we packed everything back up and started walking back to my car, headed across the bridge to have coffee at Denny's.

We got there and were sat pretty quickly. I had coffee, and she changed her mind and got hot cocoa. We started talking some more and she started slowly turning to conversation to sexual topics. I'm not usually one to shy away from a sexual conversation, but I started to feel a little uncomfortable. Talk of using a video game remote as a sex toy. The fact that she did a porn spread in a magazine as a gift for one of her exes that was later used on several websites to promote business. All well and good in my book, but the moment I suggest anything sexual and I'm "dirty minded" or "perverted".

So after a couple hours we decided to leave Denny's and we were gonna go find something to do. It was about 2:30-3 am by this point. On the way to somewhere we could just walk around, she decided it was time for her to go home. So I drove her back to her block and she suggested we walk down by the Farmer's Market. There's a playground there at Esther Short Park, which is the only thing accessible due to the Wine & Jazz Festival going on this weekend. We played on the swings, climbed on the play structure, and she crawled thru a plexiglass tunnel for a dollar. It was originally supposed to be two but I pulled my offer for the 2nd dollar and then she did it anyways, and ended up searching all my pockets for the dollar, not finding it but instead finding a paystub, and took to asking my last name, which I told her was "Smith". She ended up asking the night security guy about it, which led to a long talk with him, and then she pretty much called it a night.

I walked her to the door of her building, and she was going to go inside but surprised me with a last-second hug, which I'd figured I wouldn't be getting. As I drove off she asked me if I wanted to come back and come up, which I politely declined. Then she told me she was naked, and I said maybe (jokingly), but apparently that wasn't good enough.

That's it for now. I'll finish the rest of today's adventure after work tomorrow.

Leave it to Karma...

Leave it to Karma to have me write a post about having trouble meeting people and then hit it off really well with someone...

Last night I was sitting in chat and looking for people to talk to, and came across a woman who lives here in the 'Couve, downtown. We chatted it up for a short bit last night, and then quite a bit today, both via chat and later texting.

She seems very nice, but seems to have a few issues with trust. She's been burned by people in the past. Seems like I maybe met the female version of me, lol. Through our conversations, it's clear she's interested in seeing if things might work out, but she's very reluctant to do anything even remotely affectionate, even cuddling on a couch watching a movie, unless "it's with her boyfriend". She was going to invite me over tonight (if I wasn't working) to listen to the live music from the Wine & Jazz Festival, but then before I could accept coming over AFTER work, she said that she had promised herself the next guy she had to her home would be her boyfriend.

Now, I have a rather good sense of humor, so leave it to me to say "ah, trying to trap me already, huh? lol"... I don't think she understood it as a joke however. Well, at least until I explained it to her, that is. Then everything seemed to go smoothly again.

We'll see how things go with this one... Maybe this could be a short blog lol!

Finding dates is harder as you age

I have been on several "dating" sites since I was 18. Match.com, hotornot.com, and recently discovered once upon a time that I also signed up for e-harmony.com. I don't remember doing it, but what the hell?

I have, through at least the first two sites, met a total of one person, whom I still talk to today, and have "connected" (read e-mailed) with probably a dozen. Nothing has ever really come from any of them, but I've resolved to keep searching anyways. You never know, right?

Right now, I'm trying to set up a date with a few ladies that I have met previously. One of which, the Daycare lady, is a very nice girl, older than I am (I, for some reason, always seem to date younger), and very attractive. We met thru a chat room and have talked for several years, only meeting face to face a couple months ago, as she needed some handyman services at her new home in Hillsboro. She has suggested a possibility of going camping together, which I'd be fine with. Also we've been able to agree to meet for drinks, but random schedule hiccups keep that plan still on the books.

Another is the Redhead. She first sought me out on hotornot.com, and we met not long after. She then moved to Salem, making a full-blown relationship difficult, but not impossible. She has a son who is around 9, and is back in school finishing her education. We click, but we'll see where things go. (I suppose here is where I should mention that I have no problem with women who have children. I've dated a few and it's not an issue with me at all)

There are others, but those are really the only two that have any real potential at this point in time. It's difficult due to distances, even though they aren't great. I'll find a way somehow, I always do!

My New Project

So I've decided it's a good idea to create a blog to chronicle my dating experience. Dear reader, I hope that you will find it entertaining, and not dull.

Background info for me. I'm a soon-to-be 26 year old male living in Vancouver, WA., a.k.a. "The 'Couve". I work very hard to scratch a living in the current economy, even taking on a roommate that I've known for well over 20 years (my first experience with a roommate was a horror story).

I don't date much. I really don't put much effort into getting dates but that doesn't mean that I'm not wanting to. I get shy around women, intimidated even.

I have been in two committed relationships. The first was the longest, lasting 2 months, ending when she went away to Job Corps. and then broke up with me, finally admitting that she was trying to have a relationship with a man, yet couldn't find herself able to commit like she had previously with women. The second was close in length, 6 weeks, and there have been a couple of rendezvous since then, but things don't look promising. When we first met it was a business connection, and then things rapidly developed. She had just gotten out of an abusive relationship, and as things developed I learned more and more about it. After we had started dating, he came back into the picture and started to give her a hard time again. (in my mind I would have cut off all communication with him if I was her, but she let it continue) Eventually, she broke up with me, stating that the long distance was an issue and that she felt she had rushed into things. Within DAYS she had started seeing him again.
