Aaron will always know just how much his Daddy loves him.

Your an amazing Father Sk8, and that little boy loves you with all his heart.

You are both very blessed to have each other.

Crying gets all the sad out and puts you back on track.

Crying is deadly.

So is Aaron and so are you SK8.

Falling Apart

I have never cried as much as I have today in my life. >>

Better out than in, to quote the immortal Shrek. {{{Sk8}}} I did the internet dating thing for 2 years after my divorce. The tricky part is it's backwards: instead of a spark that makes you want to get to know someone better, you get to know someone better then get together to see if there's a spark. Be brave and keep throwing your hat in the ring. The healthier you're getting, the wider the pool of lovely people just dying to snap you up (particularly the great dad part! Chicks LOVE that ).

Ill second the things Pride said. Especially about women just adoring good Dads. Yes, we eat that right up!!!

You're all great. I'm feeling a bit better today. This has been the longest I've haven't seen him since he was born. So it is kinda hard. I think that combined with the date experience just caused the emotional bucket to over flow yesterday. Which isn't a bad thing at all. I used to just hold all that in and try to drown it in alcohol.

As for the online dating...well I'm on there until my subscription runs out. I'm still not sure about it. Most girls on there seem to be saying what they think guys want to hear. Problem is I'm not like most guys...again not a bad thing. So I still do check it out and if someone catches my eye again I'm sure I'll try it again. One thing I did learn from the date is that I don't need to be drunk for people to like me. Another thing I learned is I'm not the only one with problems and a fecked up life...lol. All in all a good lesson if nothing else...

I think that its backwards is what I don't really like about it. Like I said I'm on there until my subscription runs out. Honestly I like liiking at the site cause its like people watching but knowing more about the person. Guess what else I found out...37 year old skates with tattoos and a awesome 2 year old son aren't that popular in western PA...I know I'm shocked to!!! LOL not really but honestly I feel its their loss. Not that I have a ego but I've been through alot this year and I know I'm a good guy.

Well since I have always been honest here I'll share why there is no second date...this is a good one...it has to be the truth because no one would go through this much trouble making up a story to get out of a second date. Saturday morning I get a text in several parts from her. It says she had a great time and really likes me the only problem is she is in love with someone else and they can't be together. She said she would only end up cheating on me and I'm to sweet of a guy to do that to. She tried to date someone else to see if she could get over this other guy and end it. Later I learn from her (we still text as friends as she was really cool) the the other guy is married and she can't be with him with him. Wow...I thought my life was screwy. I know some of you on here have done the online thing. Anyone else have stories like this one?

I feel a lot better at this point in the day. I'm back to the positive thinking and living for today.

Well lets see, I like what you said about you dont have to be drunk for people to like you. Thats kind of an eye opener and refreshing huh? Its good you had the realization that there are so many f-ed up people out there.


I could write a book about some of my internet dating experiences, literally a book. Freaky stuff for sure.

I met my sons father over the internet. Not on a dating site but he popped up somehow on my yahoo messenger. Still not sure how he got on there.

So, we met and dated, and um I got pregnant. Turns out he had a Japanease fiance the whole time that he was cheating on!

Well best part is, I have my adorable little boy who could be the spitting image of ME. Is that crazy enough internet story for you, Trust me, I have TONS more

Well Over looking back at it today it was over all a good experience. Especially the not drinking part. Funny I didn't even think about the fact I did this whole thing sober until today! And yes it is comforting in a twisted way to know that everyone has some issue in their lives.

Yeah your story is the reason this whole online dating thinng kinda bugs me. Seriously there is a lot of trust in it. But I guess its like that with any dating really. Cmon share more stories!!!!

Hey Sk8!! Glad you're doing well. I met a guy and had a 2 and half year relationship until I found out his dirty little secret. I'll leave it at that. Too embarrassing. Buyer Beware!

Yikes...I know the creeps are out there.LOL. Trust me I'm handling this whole dating thing very cautiously because of Aaron.

Hi Sk8,
I had to chuckle a little because for a while I was "that girl" that couldn't get over the married guy. Jeesh...it's embarrassing to even admit. I dated this guy for 7 years and supposedly he married someone else on the "rebound" and of course he said all the right things and kept me strung along, thinking we still had a chance. Of course I was in my alcoholic stupor at the time, so it wasn't that hard for him to keep me hanging. I'm glad to report that those days are over!!! I guess I brought it up because it hit home, and I kind of feel sorry for that girl, she's letting this guy play mind-games with her. I finally realized it all boiled down to self-respect, and once I finally got mine back I was able to end the madness and realize I'm WAY too good for him!!!
Anyway, happy Monday. Ugh

I met Mr. Doggy through an on-line dating service. I'm sure it's changed a lot in the last 12 years. He is a good catch. I met some strange ones too. All in all, it was way better than the bar scene for meeting people. (even though I was drinking alcoholically at the time!)

Hey K9 and Doggy!!!

Yeah I do feel bad for her to. Who knows maybe she likes the excitement of doing something taboo. I personally think she's just letting herself be used. But thats just my way of looking at it.

Well from what I gathered from girls on the online dating there are alot of creepy guys just looking for sex. So I'm sure their end of it is even harder then the guys side.
