Great to hear from you chica! Yes, I'm so excited I'm getting married. You need to catch us all up on your battles through the dating jungle!! Glad to know you're still out there somewhere. I was afraid you'd fallen off the earth!

Didn't know that this discussion would get so heated. At least I put my hat in the ring.

Long time lurker on your blog Josie. Love it! Was thinking about asking the same question as Sense 99. How in the world did you ever get that close to marriage with a jerk like that? Keep up the good work!

Ahh...my brief -- UBER brief -- engagement.

In brief, a long-term boyfriend proposed -- quite awkwardly and without actually using the words, "WILL YOU MARRY ME?" --
by pushing a ring box towards me and blubbering, "So, what do you think?"

The only reason he "asked" was to keep us from breaking up -- not because he wanted to get married.

So, I wore the ring home (it was like it was burning), I gave it back because it was not the right time, thing or decision for either one of us.

And...quite honestly, in hindsight, there is no way in hell I would say yes to someone who couldn't even SPEAK/ASK the words, "Will you marry me?"

As if.

"11. Random fact: I have been engaged once, for about one hour."

Engaged in just one hour? Hhmm.. I'm wondering what happened? :D

Hello!
My apologies for a belated response to your post -- Thanks for visiting and commenting!
Thank you for all your kind comments - *blush*

Well, as VH1's Tough Love, Season 2 unfolds, I have come to realize I would have never have been picked because I am only a mere loser magnet, not full-blown headcases which makes up this season's cast.

I read your blog -- wacky stuff! That is a new one -- dating a guy who is taking cues from a douche-bag in a fuzzy hat.

Keep stopping back and I will jump the pond over to your blog as well.

Cheers!
J.

Hey! Sorry my response is beyond belated....it's seems I have feel off the face of the earth for a spell....but, I am back!

I love Date Girl, too!

I am in the "tiring all at once" part of the infested cess-pool of the dating scene cycle.

Your comment is a perspective I never thought of before -- playing dumb as a defense. Hmm. Interesting.

Thanks so much for commenting -- and check back often as I will be posting more frequently!

The most important thing in communication is to hear what isn't being said.

Hi Josie, I'm just getting into your blog, and I'm really enjoying it so far! Great stuff. I had to laugh at the part of this entry though, where your friend recommended you for dating boot camp on VH1. Would you actually do it?

I only ask because I had an ...ummm ... 'interesting' encounter with someone who clearly watches a little too much seduction-themed programming on VH1, not so long ago.... http://ayearofkissingfrogs.blogspot.com/2009/12/t-pick-up-artist.html

We came over from Date Girl's site. We love her!!
Funny post and touching! The Dating Scene can be grueling, exhilarating, annoying, wonderful and tiring all at once.
One note: Guys can connect the dots, but often they pretend they can't. It's a defense mechanism.
OK, fine, they're probably lame.
We wish you the best in finding THE ONE.
