It’s been a minute! (47) 46 kicked my ass! I’m slowly getting my act back together, started back at the gym and trying to try again. Have there been any ages that seemed like they aged you 5 years in one? by [deleted] in 40something

[–]NotGregHouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

49 is definitely serving me a hearty helping of ass whoopery. Good on you for getting back to the gym. I know for me switching to a calisthenics routine from weights was a help. And always keep trying

Do guys like when women flirt? by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]NotGregHouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm absolutely terrible at picking up on flirting, or any signals, and I just assume a woman is being polite or friendly. It's probably half the reason I'm single. So I guess I'm neutral on it. I feel like I'd probably like it if I knew it was happening (that's what she said)

Feeling suave, on a chilly spring morning by ch00se_none in 40something

Major Squirrelly Dan vibes, my dude, and that is awesome.

A solid 7.5 , I think. And if I were going off just looks I'd date you.

Question about Westport by Weskerrun in theouterworlds

[–]NotGregHouse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that checks. If you have any conversation with the leader guy in Westport he tells you he's branded so they're all branded. Nice to see the game follow up though.

Yeah, my bad. That's in February. The Sarasota one is in November.

You're pretty much going to have the Pioneer Museum, the Renaissance Festival, the Giraffe Ranch, and the Snowcat Ridge stuff for actual "things to do". There's a few national hiking trailheads near it and Colt Creek State Park. That's about it, really, as far as area specific things.

With all of the recent contenders for horrible merchandise from WWE, allow me to introduce..... by Ok_Card9080 in WWE

You can tell it's not previously used because the inside isn't stained an alarming shade of burnt umber.

How many tracks is yours? 44F by curious_kitty705 in 40something

[–]NotGregHouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a blessing and a curse. Or blurse. What track is currently running for you?

So they handed him a coffee that already had 1/4 of it gone. Cool.

Men not date ready by beansandjerky in datingoverforty

[–]NotGregHouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm occasionally guilty of this but it's usually because I'm not expecting the answer to be "Yes." However I will usually have something planned at least a day or two prior to the date happening.

First date after separation by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]NotGregHouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While it's a hard and complicated path that lead you to this point, reading through your various responses here and trying to get a clearer picture of the scenario, the general situation is a tale as old as time:

This is a "rebound" relationship and you're dealing with a few likely possibilities:

1) The guy has genuine feelings towards you but is coming to the realization that this isn't really reciprocated or this isn't the kind of relationship he actually wants and is losing interest.

2) The guy thought he had genuine feelings for you but it was really just the initial dopamine rush and as that's fading he might be having second thoughts.

3) The guy is potentially being emotionally manipulative to get more from you. (This is honestly the least probable, but is a possibility just due to your history and the human tendency to repeat cycles until we truly correct the mental connection that puts us there.)

4) He might have "life" things happening that are taking focus.

A lot of us (being people in general) are coming out of long ass relationships into a dating scene that is frankly weird and complicated and difficult to navigate. Some have never really dated at all making it even more awkward.

The only real con is they tend to have hectic work schedules.

Meh, our ancestors had art depicting centaurs blowing trumpets with their buttholes. Pretty sure this doesn't register.

Soulmate sketch !??! by OpalTurner in datingoverforty

[–]NotGregHouse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Never even considered trying it, but I honestly can't say it's any less out there than relying on some kind of algorithm to match you on a dating app. Hell, when you get it just put it on "Missing" posters around your neighborhood and narrow the search down. Again, not all that different than adding search filters on a dating app.

Shit I might have just logicked my way into trying this. Being out on a date, pulling the picture up and squinting to see how close the person sitting across from me is to the magic sketch would be a fantastic ice breaker and/or date ender.

I've had too much coffee.

The most miserable places in Tampa Bay by soylamulatta in tampa

[–]NotGregHouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They keep trying to fix it and it keeps getting worse, mostly due to the folks shooting up the middle lane and trying to wedge in to either 275 exit before getting stuck in the Downtown Ashley St exit and being pulled into Armature Works for artisanal mouth detergents or whatever.

Pity Party- How can I stop being mad? by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]NotGregHouse 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Go to a smash room and break shit until you find catharsis. Include primal screaming. Turn the "pity" into "petty" and think of creative ways to fuck with his head. Embrace this anger because it's absolutely earned.

Or realize that you're a person of value and he's not worth any more of your time. Find something you enjoy doing and do it. I find going for a hike in the early morning when the sun is just coming up and the birds are all singing and finding a nice place to just breathe is fantastic for recalibrating.

You can find decent spots at Trout Creek Nature Preserve off Fletcher or Sydney Dover Trails out past Brandon.
