Do you know what’s sad?
Thinking to yourself, “When’s the last time I … had one of those evenings with a man.”
And you can’t remember.
So you check your blog archive thinking that clearly it was this fall and then worrying that maybe it was this past summer and cringing that it could have been in the spring and realizing that – holy crap! – it was the very end of February.
No wonder I’m so grumpy all of the time. If I hit a year, I’m putting everyone on notice that things are going to get rough around here.
Just wait until you hit three years!
Are you kidding? 9 months…I *wish* it was only 9 months for me. A year is nothing.
I’m lost…but that’s okay, it happens frequently. I was the kid with the gloves that had the ‘idiot’ strings on them…so they were harder to lose.
What are we talking about again?
Ditto isaspacey and Amanda’s comment. But I really, really hope you don’t reach three years. Its not fun!
It’s even worse when you’re engaged to someone who you live with and sleep in the same bed with every single night and you can’t remember.
TMI?
Just over a year for me. Was really really good the last time too. /sigh The thing is, just sex is easy to get, but what’s the point if you don’t cuddle?
I r cuddler. RAWR!
I hate to promote the broken record that’s already playing above, but nine months is nothing. A year isn’t even that bad. Years, plural, starts to get annoying.
Make sure you don’t do anything rash just to ‘reset the clock’.
Because a rash is exactly what you could get.
Isn’t the new season of 24 to be out soon? That could kill some time.
Tell me about it! I hate, hate being on the losing side of a “diet” when it comes to men in my bed. Sigh.
La - I’d say have a serious talk NOW or get out. I had a twenty year marriage like that and it sucked. Then three years of “diet.”
And people wondered why I was a little tense sometimes?
My record is somewhere around 18 months, which resulted in severe crankiness and (of course) ended with some poor decision-making.
Hang in there… that’s what battery-operated friends are for!
Self manipulation of the nether regions is not the same. Let’s not fool ourselves.
Like other posters above have said…9 months is nothing.
It’s always a little give and take. I had a huge 8-month dry spell, and am now dating TWO guys instead of one. I swear. It’s either raining or dry as a bone.
Hey, you’ve gotta stay optimistic! You’re a fabulous catch, and one of these days a nice guy will come to his senses and realize that. In the meantine, have some ice cream and get a good vibrator. : )
I have to say, I’m relieved that I’m not the only one, I thought I was a freak at 2 years! For me, it’s better that it’s a “worthwhile” time than a “just for the sake of it” time, but that’s just me and what I think I can handle (and when I admit that it’s almost 2 years, it makes me think that maybe I should reconsider)…….. sigh!
there’s always that place across the street where the dude is waiting for you!
Get out there and shake it lady!
OK I had some comedy bit thought up for this, but this people? Is seriously depressing. It just sucks all the damn funny out of the topic. That is all. Cheers & Good Luck, ‘VJ’
It IS pretty telling when even VJ can’t leave a 3000-word comment on a post.
Perhaps he’s run out of ways to call me young.
I hear ya sister! I’m without man, but I did go out and buy a new vibrator!
It took me 18 months to find someone worth investing the time in - and while things are in the very new, very early stage - I’m glad I took that time. I’m a better person and in a much better place to enjoy a relationship.
Enjoy this time and don’t stress. It’ll happen. Probably - as was the case for me - when you’ve pretty much given up all hope.
You are not alone. Your February is my January. Early January. It gets bad when the countdown goes from X months/weeks since… to X months/weeks/days to the one year anniversary I never want to have again.
When the world was very old indeed, we strongly suggest & suspect that it was not all that difficult to ‘get your freak on’ in a gentle afternoon tryst/shag/snog by the stream side out in the country. And we’re talking 18th & 19th century here people! Pick it up! Really… Cheers, ‘VJ’
Misery loves company…..but trust me, it’s even worse you’ve hit that point when you’ve been dating someone for only 6 months!!!!
Chin up!
VJ,
Like I said, the shagging is the easy part. It’s getting them to stay and cuddle because they WANT to that’s tricky.
Love,
Wailin

Requisite & dangerous peeks into the history cited of the 18th & 19th centuries are here:

Yeah, where else can you garner citations for such nonsense?!
Cheers & Good Luck, ‘VJ’
A turkey baster does nothing for me, except baste my turkey… yeah, still sounds wrong…
I soooo wish that I couldn’t relate to this post. But, unfortunately, I can.
I’m tired of dating.
Right there with ya, my friend, right there with ya…
I think it comes down to intimacy….you can have sex with a really hot person, and it won’t really mean as much as with someone you care about. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had amazing sex with random women…but it tended to be pretty shallow by the next day, though if they can cook a nice breakfast…that helps make it less shallow. LOL.
ok, i swear this is true — the longer i go in between relationships (ie, a year or longer), the better they are!!! yeah, it’s like having a savings account. or a bond that matures. the longer you hold on to it, the better it is!!!!!
dude, your next man is going to be WONDERFUL!!!!!
ugh, i realize i’m being one of “those” girls right now, full of irritating optimistic cliches, so i’ll stop. because i hate those girls.
go buy some cigarettes, get drunk, and bitch about men with a fellow single girl. THAT will make you feel better. guaranteed!!!
oh, and enjoy the fact that you don’t have to shave if you don’t want to, you get control of the remote, and you don’t have to yell at someone to put the seat down.
there’s more, but that’s good for now.
