Weekend alone
I madde a list yesterday of things i could do like join the gym, will it be really busy over the weekend though??? I also want to update my cv and start looking for new jobs... If you get my drift, I am trying to take my mind off women and exes, so am trying to focus on something different.
I would really like to go out this weekend to try and meet women, but dont want to look like a billy no mates!!! Thing is asell, maybe i need some ME time before i go chasing women straight away?
Everyone else seems to do so much with their weekend, i just want some suggestions on what i could do.
I was thinking of starting swimming or maybe boxing, but boxing would be ull of meatheads judging you wouldnt it ??? (i am pretty slim and not much of a fighter)
Any suggestions would be appreciated

It must be awful - I haven't actually had that done to me,thank god,but I had a huge row with my b/f one evening and he left for the night,and even tho it was only 24 hrs .I honestly thought it was the end of the world.
If she really was seeing somebody that quickly do you think she is the ideal girl for you? You must have split up for very good reasons.There is always somebody perfect out there for you - you just haven't found her yet.I had totally abandoned ever finding "the one" after divorce,long line of useless t***ers,and then in the most unexpected situation I met my guy....the rest is history.He is my total soulmate.
it was my first real relationship at the age of 21 , so no i dont ALWAYS have to be in a relationship as I went to uni for 3 years without being in one!
i am just saying, she finds it easy to jump into bed with an ex so why shouldnt i see what i can find?? but its hard work going out on the pull by yourself.....
if i am needy what is she? she has gone backwards in getting back with an ex boyfrined whereas im taking time to assess and see whats on offer
Hi jibjab (knew it was you all along lol)
You say above "trying to take your mind off woman and exes" but in the next breath "I would really like to go out this weekend and meet women"
You desperatly need some you time, quit thinking that you need women and trying to work out how you can meet one, until you are honest to yourself and stop acting desperate no woman is going to look at you.
Honestly the best thing you can do this weekend is be on your own, I'm not too sure if these friends of yours are doing you any favours to be honest, esp from what you have said in other threads.
Take a walk, do a bit of clothes/gadget shopping. Stop at the pub for a bit of lunch and one drink (don't want to waste the afternoon napping) Go for a walk/ play on playstation (work out how to use new gadget you bought in the morning) go for another pint, grab a take away on way home, flick through hundreds of channels till you find a film you've only seen half a dozen times and chill out with a couple of beers.
Pretty much the same as Fish says esp for the Sunday. I tell you I love my kids to bits but what I wouldn't give sometimes for a bit of me time and just do what the hell I wanted like go to a cafe sunday morning, have full english and read the papers. I can't do it now tho because I would miss my kids and hubby too much and feel guilty. Quit feeling sorry for yourself, this girl is nothing to do with you anymore, feel lucky you got away when you did, lifes too short please don't waste it like this!
Good luck and hope you don't think I was being nasty by what I put, just trying to tell you how it is!
You're very defensive. Take a chill pill Jared. I know you're angry about it but you will get over her. I was just suggesting (as requested) that you take time out and don't go looking for a new woman just yet. You're sounding very bitter, desperate, hurt and angry, but there's no need for you to take it out on people on here.
I think your too raw at the moment to even consider a new relationship and to be honest I don't think you really want to just go out and find a woman as easily as she went back to her ex.
You come across to me as a man who wants more in a relationship than one night stands, you want to see that the relationship is going somewhere. Exactly the same as me, I wouldn't get into a relationship until I knew it was going somewhere and that I wasn't just a plaything.
Stop looking for what you don't really want and bedding a more or less stranger isn't going to make you feel any better about yourself whilst your so bitter about your ex and please please please don't do it just to get back at her! The only person who is going to get hurt is you, and your already in enough pain.
Take care
I think as well Jared, don't look at this weekend on your own as a bad thing. You are already getting there by wanting to take up a new hobby, just make sure you follow it thru. Infact whats stopping you from doing a nightclass in something? You learn a new hobby and meet new people. Get your local college up online and see what courses they are running. I think you need to take yourself out of this situation and maybe not going out drinking with your mates is not such a bad thing at the moment.
You could always go away for the weekend. Find a cheap B&B on the coast, nobody knows you so what does it matter of you think they are thinking "billy no mates" as you put it? your never going to see them again.
Please think about the sensible suggestions on here as I think you really do need to do something before your too bitter and angry to change.
Take care
