Never Stand Someone Up!

A post on an Internet No-Show By David Wygant

Recently, a woman client of mine met this guy online on a Thursday. He came on all strong, and they set up a date to have drinks that same night. First, before I tell you what happened, let’s give this woman a hand for being spontaneous instead of being conniving and manipulative.

The thing about dating that sucks is that so much time is spent hunting each other down. You meet each other Friday, call on Sunday, get a call back on Wednesday, set up a date for the following week, and by the time the date happens you have no idea why you were attracted to this person in the first place.

So, this woman decided to be spontaneous and have a date that night . . . and it even was her birthday. So they made plans to have drinks at 9:15 p.m. at a local restaurant. The only problem was . . . she showed up and he did not. This behavior is what I call this man being a classless loser. Whether he was drunk and sitting in his house and forgot to go, or whether he was hiding in the bushes outside the restaurant because he wasn’t as attracted to her in person as he was on the internet, there really is no excuse for what he did. There really is no excuse.

If you set up a date, whether you’re attracted to the person when you meet them or not, you act like a functioning adult. You sit down and you have a nice conversation with another human being, because you never know if the woman (or man) sitting across from you that you’re not attracted to might have a friend for you. So the next time you’re not attracted to your internet date, you better realize that by being a pussy and not going through with it, it’s just going to hurt you in the long run.

This has happened to everyone who’s dated on the internet a few times. If you’re somebody that just recently did it to somebody, think about what it felt like when someone did it to you. To all the men and women who pull this kind of shit – grow up! And for people who have had this happen to them, don’t worry about it!! Why would you even want to date someone who is the type of person who would pull a stunt like this?

This man who didn’t show up showed his true colors immediately . . . that he is unreliable, flaky and socially retarded. Imagine bringing this guy home to your Mom and Dad, and he spends the whole night hitting on your sister . . .

  1. David, thank you so much for posting this blog today!! I can relate to what this woman experienced, and it’s nice to have an “objective” voice put the blame on the “classless loser” instead of blaming yourself (which is what I tend to do).

    I have gone on internet dates where upon meeting the guy for the first time I knew I wasn’t attracted to him. I have never, and would NEVER, stand someone up though!!

    It has nothing to do with wanting to date someone … it’s simply a matter of manners and courtesy.

  2. Yea, pretty much a real jerkosaurus!!!
    Men like that don’t deserve dates, and that goes for women as well.

    If you are not attracted to the person why even make the date to begin with? If you made the date, follow through. You may think you are not attracted because you are looking at the outer appearance. Maybe her hair is too short, too straggly, wrong color of eyes, too short, not a rail thin anorexic model type—whatever.

    Get to know the person on the inside and you might be surprised the treasures you will find ladies and gents:))) looks can be so deceiving!

    I believe in the old but still standing saying, “You cannot judge a book by its cover.” I have read a lot of books, that if I judged by the cover would have never read and missed out on some damn good reads.

  3. You may not be able to judge a book by its cover but here are 3 important follow ups to remember.
    1. Post a recent photo online when using personal sites…this way someone will know who you are and you will not run into any problems.
    2. When dating online dont get your hopes up and just meet the person with no expectations…..that way you will be surprised if you connect.
    3.If someone does stand you up keep in mind that it is not about you……it is about their social skills….or lack of them.

    I am in NYC this weekend anyone want to join the bootcamp:)

  4. David, Any ladies involved in your bootcamp … or is it just you guys male bonding this weekend?

  5. David; three excellent points. I think they are all three great, but one thing I have learned in this life is #2.

    Don’t get your hopes up and have high expectations for anything much. I don’t mean to have zero, but if your hopes aren’t too high and something great happens, how AWESOME it will feel.

    The other side of the coin is having high hopes only to have them shattered and dismissed can leave a person feeling like crap for days. I hate that feeling. Been there done that TOOOOOO many times.

    I would so love to join that boot camp. You know where I stand on that subject, but that will have to wait for me personally.

    I need to do so much before I leave for the big CA trip. Time is going by a little faster everyday.

  6. I, like Elizabeth would like to know more about this bootcamp.
    I can’t do it right now, but I would like to do it one day…

  7. hello, my favorite blogging ladies! joan…. how are you? and of course jessica the baltic beauty… elizabeth longtime no hear from you.
    I’d like to point out men, get stood up also, i’ve been stood up at least twice in my life…all from internet dating… which everyone knows i think is bollocks! i guess i wasnt attractive enough to them… honestly i dont know and i dont care. too quote the telly show “Coupling”
    ” theres more fish in the toilet of love” ;)
    cheers,
    Joe

  8. hello, my favorite blogging ladies! joan

  9. Hello, Joe,
    Cheer up! If one or two girls are bad, it doesn’t mean that ALL girls are bad! We all are different!
    Always look at the bright site of life

  10. It is so important to post a good picture so you don’t lead someone on and make them feel deceived

    It is really about being yourself and not trying to be something you are not … They will find out who you are so better be upfront

    I find online dating to be like looking for a used car everyone says that they have low miles until you meet them and take a test drive

  11. Hey Joe:) I am doing, and doing —it has been a much welcomed lull the past few days. I love that show “Coupleing!” it is hilarious:))) You so crack me up!
    Stop with the unattractive crappola. You know what. Fuck em!! I feel that sometimes then I fastly remember, “oh yea! hey, I am honest, giving, helpfull, sexy, fun— and I am DAMN good in bed!! Shit what more does a man want?? lol

    Anything with the writing yet? Your IMs shocked me last night. I was half asleep in the garden tub when Ihear my phone going wacko1:)) I guess I had forwarded aim to the phone. You’re funny!

  12. you are right about that picture business Richard. That is why when someone asks me to send a picture, i don’t want to. All of my pics are horrible and out of date. a weight loss of 30-35 lbs. is going to make a big difference in what you look like (not to mention feel like)

    I need to gat some taken I guess. I hate taking pictures—bottom line!
    now pictures of my bottom—those ain’t line! lol Oh no here we go. i think i am going to sign off now while I am still pretty much safe:)

    Bye for now all:))

  13. jessica me cheer up?!?! i’m not sad or upset by it. i’m doing well and great today. ;) my writing not so… but soon hopefully soon.
    Joan i’m glad you like that show… one of my favorites… i’m a big fan of British telly… (when i watch TV) either that or it’s cartoons lol ;) big kids huh? sorry about the iIM’s , i was bored and i wanted to scare of piss out of you! ;) just glad you were on the tub. ( less mess)
    Richard as harsh as it sounds, your right to an extend…
    cheers,
    Joe

  14. Ahhhh

  15. i’m not photogenic at all.. and to be honest i rather meet people face to face… jessica.. i know all about the graphic artist touch…. i go to art school, 90% of the picture you see anywhere from playboy to GQ have a graphic artists touch… so you’re right there…
    you dont think we look 10 years older, because of our european blood? i know italian look much older they are… i mean i’m 29 and i look around 35… i used to have to show woman my license when i was younger because they believe my age.. lol hilarious! ;)
    cheers,
    Joe

  16. Hey Joe; lol no problem on the texts! Yea, it did wake me up. I was drifting out, so you might have saved me from drowning! LOL

  17. No, Joe! We all are different!
    I always looked 10 years younger! When I was 25 and I was asked to show my ID at the liqueur store, I felt like it is an insult. Today it is a compliment….
    I don’t believe that people can be NOT photogenic. All you have to do is to look at the camera like it is your very best friend and laugh!
    When I take pictures, everyone looks beautiful! But I use my old 35 mil camera! I can

  18. Do unto others and as you would like done to you. Good rule to follow. :)

  19. maybe is should i said that the southern europeans..look older then they really our… i understand we are all different, i wouldnt be an artist if i didnt know that ;) joan having a good day i hope….
    Cheers,
    Joe

    Hello all … I cannot let this post be up without a comment that I think will make anyone who puts their internet blind dates on a pedistal feel better. :)

    Before you put too much stock, and internalize as a reflection on you, anything your internet dates do … allow me to remind you all of my date with “the perfect man.” This is the name we all here gave him based upon his … unbelievably self-congratulating profile from match.com. As you will recall, if this man’s own press was to be believed, he was the man who could woo ANY woman with his mere presence and the electricity of his kiss :)

    What I found out after going out with him was he was, well … a little less than perfect. Although I did not get to sample his electrifying kiss, the “perfect man” was really only perfect in his own mind.

    During my date with him, I sat through a conversation in which he detailed (1) his many thoughts and feelings about having diarrhea, (2) his musings on when and why his ass itches, and (3) a description of why the dessert he ordered so closely resembled a turd.

    Did I bolt at the first mention of his loose stools? No… Because as I said in my posting about this date, I still managed to laugh at times and have an okay time on this date. The “perfect man” and I certainly were not a match, but there is no call to be rude …

  21. Good rule Jim. I try to follow that one.Thats a “granny always said” rule. ;)

    lol Jessica, I hear ya on the carding thing. It is standard safety procedure here in texas to show your ID, due to identity theft. I thought they were carding me for my age. lol

    My friend and I went out one night and you had to go into this patio in the back of this place to go in. 3 “bouncers”—only 2 had some slammin bodies goin on! It is not everything, but when you see em—mmm nice to look and flirt. One was just staring an smiling so I asked him, “So do I get carded or frisked tonight—anything?” he laughed and said we could skip the carding to make things faster. LOL I felt like saying, “Hey I ain’t into no quickie honey!” (even though—)

    So girl next time they don’t card you and are something you like, ask them! It’s fun at its best!

  22. Hey there Jessica :) I actually attended one of David’s ladies bootcamps a few months ago … WOW!! It was fantastic. David is exactly what he advertises himself to be … what you see on his site, what you hear in his audio programs, and what he talks about in his postings here on the blog, are all the real David.

    I’ll tell you what I told my friends when I returned from my weekend in LA: It was an amazing experience spending a weekend with David in his world – what was so utterly unique about it was that you do actually spend all day every day of this weekend WITH DAVID.

    It was so much fun to watch him interracting with all sorts of people as we traversed around the city. What most inspired me about him was that he truly has the most amazing energy of anyone I’ve ever met. The way that people (and I mean EVERYONE, although women especially) reacted to David was incredible… his personality and energy are absolutely magnetic.

    Let me be candid, before I went to this bootcamp, I thought all this “good energy” stuff was frankly crap. It was too touchy-feely hippy dippy for me. But now I see that there is something real and tangible to learning how to create good energy. I haven’t mastered it yet … but learning that alone and spending the weekend with David was worth ten times what I payed to go. Jessica … DO THE BOOTCAMP :)

  23. i like to do a bootcamp, when i can get some money… ;)
    maybe we could have a bloggers bootcamp! lol
    Cheers,
    Joe

  24. Jessica, when you decide to do the bootcamp, let me know and we can go at the same time!!:) That would be fun don’t you think?

    Can we do that David, or are we to uncorrigible when put in the same atmosphere?

    I definitely want to do the bootcamp with the master:)) I tried and TRIED to get 3 of my friends do do this, but bottom line—they thought I was crazy. Hmmm
    Maybe I am;))

    Anyway, let me know what you think about that idea.

  25. Theres three! Joe, Jessica and Joan!

    David is probably saying, “Oh man, this should be great!” lol
    You know you’d love us all together having a fun time with you Mr. Wygant;)

  26. Hey Girls! If you end up going, I might be up for bootcamp round 2 :)

  27. Ohhh! LOL Sultry Brunette, you are so cute! That had to have been some “shit” there at the end. lol Man I would have been wanting to knock the “crap” out of him. That is some annoying stuff.

    You are a saint to have sat through all that. I think you should be glad he didn’t even try to kiss you. Who KNOWS where that mouth has been.

  28. C’mon Elizabeth! :)
    Now David is probably saying, “Ohman oh man! This is going to be a looong weekend!” Playing It would be a blast!!!!

  29. Big D… you’re killing me… how could you not invite me to New York… lol.

    Anyway, back on the ranch… I don’t understand why people don’t take EVERY chance to expand on their social circle…

    You NEVER know who another person knows and standing someone up makes you either look manipulative… just plain worthless… or shows a serious lack of class.

    I don’t care how busy you get, personally pick up the phone and let someone know. I know I generally understand if something really important comes up…

    … just make sure you have a plan to “make it up to me” when you call :)

    Never, ever, neglect a chance to expand your social influence… because it’s never WHAT you know but WHO you know that counts

  30. Hey Joe. I just saw your comment up there;) Yes sir I am having a good day:) Really I am having an awesome day now. I hope it continues as such.
    When my friends are feeling good, I am feeling great:)

  31. angel eyes, i’ve always wondered the samething! i dont know why people dont take the chance to expand there social circle either. sometimes i wonder why people are so fucked and what there so scared of …. lol but i dont waste my energy on it. and really how hard is to pick up a phone? people lack politeness. joan, jessica go for it…
    joan if you lived closer, i’d say hey, jessica, you and i could meet for a coffee, maybe i’ll give a tour of boston… restaurant week here, all the good stuff at half price!!!
    Cheers,
    Joe

  32. Angel eyes, I have found that last statement you made to be true in life. I used to hear prople say that and think, yea right. I don’t think so, but yea, they were right.

    It is usually always WHO you know and not WHAT you know that counts. Sometimes that seems very unfair if you have gone to school and worked your ass off, but that is life, we smile, deal with it and go on! ;) ))

  33. Hey Joan… yeah… the beautiful thing about it is that once you quit bitching about “the game” of life… and how it’s not fair… and start really learning the rules… things get very interesting.

    Darkpoet… it’s so funny… I’ve found that most people do want to meet more people AND are very open to the fact… but they are so afraid of rejection that unless YOU talk to them first… it’ll never happen…

    I’ve met some really cool people that I probably would have never known had I kept my mouth shut…

  34. I am new to this blog.

    I have been an avid reader of davids yahoo articles and finally clicked over and saw this great blog!

    Plus your a hottie david are you single?

    Do you follow your advice?

    How old are you and what is your sign?

    I am just playing but great stuff and love all the comments and the podcasts!

  35. Joan, Joe and Elizabeth!
    We all live in different areas of the country. For me New York location is the best. How about you?
    Elizabeth,
    How long is this bootcamp lasts? 1 day or 2 days?
    David,
    Can we get a special price for your favorite bloggers?
    Business is business, after all!!! :) :) :)

  36. Hi David, hi Joan, and the rest of you good people, I have missed lots of good chatting, (Last post 13 July) I did not know how much I missed you guys until I read the past posting, people you guys are fun, hot and spicy.
    Joan, specially you, I have laughed until tears rolled out and my sides hurt. You guys are too much, I will not add nothing to this one because I am so late that you have said it all. Is nice to be back. Love you all

  37. RC – Welcome back!! :)

    Joan, the bootcamp I attended was actually three days (Fri – Sun), so you do really get your money’s worth :)

  38. RC- Welcome back!! Yes, we are having a good time here!
    Elizabeth,
    Where did you all stay for three days? You we in LA, right?

  39. Let me now If any of you bloggers happen to come to Ca. We can maybe meet and have a coffee. David??? I’m in Orange county.

  40. what is rejection? but just an irrational fear. i dont worry about rejection anymore… i’m comfortable ith myself most of the time, so no worries.
    cheers,
    Joe

  41. Hey JESSICA (sorry about calling you Joan earlier :) – although I love you too Joan :) )

    I stayed at the Hotel Angeleno. It was very nice. And yes, my bootcamp weekend was in LA.

  42. darkpoet , you are absolutely right, an irrational fear, rejection is something that one has conquer and once conquered confidence is at your hand, and this is what a prospect partner looks for. When someone Stand you Up in a date this is the most likely cause or superficially inclined = Shallow.

  43. i’m glad you agree and i agree with you also…
    cheers,
    Joe

  44. lol. Good blog David. Ha I don’t think the “man” that would stand a woman up is funny..just the question posed to me if I would ever do this to someone? No baby doll, I never would and I have never stood anyone up. What is the sense in doing so unless you have been in a car wreck..then ok there is a valid excuse. I am not one to say or do things that would be hurtful..this would not feel good for sure. It happens and it sucks for people to be so insensitive and rude. Looks like your getting some “lovin” here today Joan?;) You earn that lovin. Count me in on that one;) Hey darkpoet, thanks man. You are a good guy and I appreciate your thoughts man. I am feeling pretty good today, so on the uprise:) Well, I have a client due so I will see you all. Have a good one. I’m out.

  45. Hello, Jacob,
    Good seeing you again!!! And yes, we all love Joan on this blog! She brings a lot of positive energy here!

  46. David, you need to install the Threated Comment plugin for wordpress. It’ll make the comments much more conversational.

  47. I walked out on a date once for some reasons but never went as far as standing somebody up like that.

  48. Darkpoet, that address you sent me, can you send it again? My ditzy ass cleaned up messages and wiped it clean off the slate mate:)

    Hey Jeff:) How goeth the computer hassles? Hopefully better than thought;) What is that plugin you are talking about?

    Jessica–I luv ya girly:) Thank you for your comment;)

    RC, RC where have you been? I have wondered hat hppened to everybody from the blog day “How To Orally Please A Mn!” That was an awesome crowd. I guess subject content might have “sucked” everyone in! LOL Couldn’t resist the pun;))))

    Hey Hency. Welcome to the Wygant community:))) Fun place to hang out!

    Angel Eyes, you are right. I hate hearing people bitch about life. I think it is what we make out of it and put into it.

    Jacob, I am so so glad “you” are back;) The happy you makes me smile!

    Luv U too Elizabeth:)

  49. Ok did everybody clock out for their break all at once leaving no one to “mind the store?”

    Where did everyone dis-appear to?

    Ok Yawn Time to goto the gym. There is action there;))

  50. Hey Elizabeth. I am going to see my mom in CA and ill be in LA for a few. Is that Hotel Angeleno close to the airport?

  51. ;) That is good to know darlin! ;) )

  52. Jeff, looks like David jumped at the download! I felt likesomeone slipped me some drug at first. This is neat, but people are going to have to get used to it—or let me speak for myself–I willhave to get used to it;)

  53. David;

    This website is changing with great momentum!

    It is looking good;)

    This comment to comment will take a little getting used to , but it’s all good.

    Movin on up!!!

  54. AWESOME

    Good job David. This makes life easier for organizing comment trails.

  55. Thanks for the “welcum”, Joan It was a pleasurable blog theme specially for us man, You really know how to lay it out in words I mean. Well I’m here, lets see what new and awesome themes David can come up with. I read that you are coming to Cali, business or pleasure? I was reading wow how much I have missed!!!!

  56. Jaime aka Jmeezay August 9, 2007 at 9:35 pm 56

    Ok, a few things.

    First of all, I don’t think I’ve ever been stood up (and vice versa). Now I have had a good time with someone and then they never got back in touch with me, but whatever. Sometimes, I do take it personally, usually blaming my looks. But I quickly get over it and remember what a wonderful, attractive, smart, funny and all around kick-ass woman I am. I have met folks on the net and been disappointed, but I would never stand them up. That’s why drinks/coffee is always a good first date because it can last for 30 minutes – whenever. If you’re vibing, it can carry on into a meal. If it sucks, you can break free. Cool.

    Secondly, it is possible to get great digital photos of yourself. I think you just need to have the right camera and the right software. No, not to edit your pictures to the point that you don’t look like yourself. But sometimes lighting is off or the photo is a bit blurrier than you’d prefer. That’s why I actually love digi photos; you can look at them beforehand and decide to re-shoot if you look crazy :)

    Finally, I think that being photogenic is about practice and comfort/confidence. My mom is beautiful, but she typically freezes up in photos and looks like a nut. I have never really had a problem with pics because I know exactly how to smile, tilt my head or angle my body to make sure I’m looking my best! Yes, that means sitting in front of a mirror for a few minutes to find your best look. But why the hell not? If you’re going to be immortalized in a photo, you may as well know how to put your best foot forward. Throw those shoulders back, tilt your head out and down, then smile, as someone said, like you’re looking at your best friend. Works everytime!

  57. So, Joan, You are signing up for the bootcamp already?

  58. I also have not been stood up but have had to comfort some who have and even when it was not me I felt awful. Morally and humanly it is not right to this. Like others before me unless I was involved in a life threatening situation I will not miss my date. If one starts it one should finished, even if the person does not look decent in web photos or fixed or whatever photos you upload what really counts its what is inside . It makes me sad that as evolved as we humans say we are we have to be so plastic, so SuPeRfICiAl!!!!! We let ourselves be dictaded visually to commercials and billboards about perfectly formed body and faces. No Pun intended.

  59. Hey, Jeff,
    Stop giving David wrong advices!
    Now you have a lot of unused space! About 30 percent on every line.
    There is not too many of us here! We know who speaks! And if we make a mistake, Joan helps to sort things out! Right, Joan? :)

  60. Hey

    So who is going to come to the bootcamp???

    Is it going to be a ladies only bootcamp??

    Jessica I am playing with some new technology on the blog and experimenting with some things to see what works best,

    I want to encourage everyone to feel free to let me know which system they like better.

    I also want some of the new people to speak up and join in on the fun!!!

    You guys have all been great and I love reading your comments during the day.

  61. Jessica;

    Yes! I agree. I like this board better—sorry Jeff:) WAIT…I help to sort things out????? Ok If you say so
    Honestly, I had entered a comment and I felt like I was trippin! It looked all discumbobulated (yes That IS a word! lol) I was confused

    When I come back from being gone, I usually read where I left of to make sure somebody hasn’t asked me something or said anything I might miss. I don’t like to miss out! LOL

    Jaime, I think you are right with the digital—GOOD digital photos, and also being comfortable in front of that dang camera. I feel so fake when trying to “strike a pose.” I end up looking like a totally different person, none of who I am shines through and people are probably like,”Damn, thats what she looks like?” I am glad the real me looks better in person or I would hide! LOL

    David, when and where for the bootcamp? You already know I fully desire to get out there and learn, learn, learn. I am approached by men, but I never seem to “close” anything. (Anything but my legs! LOL )

    MAN somebody help me! I am just about sick of this dirty mind that plagues me constantly! Really, I am.
    It is as though EVERYTHING I say turns into a nasty sexual thought of some kind. I don’t think this is healthy! lol Really I don’t.

  62. RC—couldn’t have said it better myself!!!!
    You know, sometimes my 2 friends and I will go out. We of course check out the guys. They always go for the “lookers.” Well, I have had more than my fill of a casanova!

    If a guy comes to talk to us and I say he was so cute, they are usually like, “ewe!” Ok. The guy may not have been the cutest boy on the block, but I thought him attractive because he was funny, or friendly or both! There was something that caught me besides the “Look.” People get so hung up on the look, I am guilty for years of that.

    Guess what? The look doesn’t last if there is no substance beneath. The look doesn’t mean that person is going to blow you away in bed. All the looks do is attract people to the outer shell of a person, and sometimes that shell has been abandoned of anything worth squat, if it was ever there to begin with. This is not always true, but I find a lot of the “pretty boys as well as girls,” to tend to lean on their “beauty” as a crutch.

    They look so good that anyone should feel lucky just to be graced by their presence. Blah!!! Give me the man who will make me laugh and can speak in full sentences:) I’ll be a happy camper. Yes there still has to be chemistry, but if chemistry is all about looks to you, it is time to break down whatever formula you are using and find the missing element!

  63. joan we know what you’re like!… the way i see it if people are going to go on beauty alone, whether for using they beauty or dating someone who beautiful , you have to remember….. outer beauty doesnt last forever, but inner beauty, the deep level.. well always be. one could get philosogical. and ask what is beauty? do we see beauty as material… or relative?
    Cheers,
    Joe

  64. Hey Joe. lol I am going to take that comment as a compliment:) “We know what you are like?” That can be good, scary, embarrassing—- LOL

    Well I know “beauty” is the words you just wrote for us to read:)
    I think beauty is a word with many definitions. you know this is the FIRST definition of beauty in the dictionary;

    “the quality present in a thing or person that gives intense pleasure or deep satisfaction to the mind, whether arising from sensory manifestations (as shape, color, sound, etc.), a personality in which high spiritual qualities are manifest.”

    I find that really cool! “The quality in”–”a personality.” That is so good.

  65. Oh, Joe. I need that adress yougave me again. If you want to you can just IM over aim. It is forwarded and that way I can transfer it. Thanks Cheers 2 U!

  66. Joan i’m at a crossroads lately, i dont know if its from my writers block, or my mind. i want to seek that beautiful person, i want to be inspired, like nature does for me. what a road to travel. i havent find anyone yet?
    hopefully soon.
    Cheers,
    Joe

    Hey Joe,
    I totally feel you on the crossroads comment…not so much with my lovelife right now as it as everything. I’m just incredibly restless and its most evident when I’m trying to go to sleep. Hence why I’m up right now.

    That’s totally unrelated to dating, ergo probably not necessary on this site, but yeah. I felt like sharing.

  70. JOe;
    Dang boy! LOL LOL How many times did you send that address?? lol I hear my phone in my bedroom going whack! LOL

    Joe, you will find someone–hell I will find someone. I think I found someone, or he found me, or we found each other– but I am confused as hell. Don’t feel in the boat alone. Do you go out to meet and greet? i am not talking bars but other avenues?

  71. LOL Jaime gotcha on the restless and I will add horrific insomnia to that if I may!
    I am so thankful for good health, vitamins and a zest for life or I could be in trouble. I go on 4-6 tops hours of sleep. Is that enough??

  72. Joe;

    Sometimes it helps me to just go out somewhere into a beautiful place of nature (well were talking Texas—in CA I was across from the bluffs overlooking ocean to ocean with my guitar and a bottle of fine wine;) Miss those days:(

    Anyway, maybe if you get away like that, outside somewhere beautiful then just write EVERYTHING you are feeling down. Sometimes I even get a song or some poem out of that, but if nothing else, there is a release that comes from it. I look at some of it later on down the road, and reflect on how good things can be if you just hold on and don’t let go of your dreams.

    I’m sorry. Not trying to be preacher Joan here, but it does work if you haven’t tried it;) Good luck my friend. Cheers to you!!!

  73. 4-6 hours could be plenty depending on your body and body type…

    Monitor your energy levels throughout the day… if you tend to crash later in the day… you may need an hour more.

    I think I read a study one time that basically said that 6-7 hours was optimum for most people.

    I tend to work best on 6… 8 is too much for me.

    Hmmm… maybe I should add a chapter on sleep to the FLBB :)

    (thinking out loud, too much salesletter writing tonight)

  74. Angel Eyes;

    Thanks so much! Yea, people think I am on speed or something I think! LOL I have so much energy throughout the day, even if I have had only 4 hours of sleep? i don’t get it sometimes. I go and go until I should be gone, yet I feel like th eenergizer bunny!:)

    I am like you. Too much sleep is too much. i have a horrible headache if I sleep too much. I believe the more sleep you get, the more sleep your body craves. I refuse to sleep mt life away!;) Thanks again!!

  75. My mantra… sleep when you’re dead… lol

  76. LOL Yea, good one. I guess you don’t have much choice then!
    Live while youare alive and well!!;)

  77. Well Angel eyes;
    I am trying to leave a comment onyour “autopilot” blog. Having no luck, so let me say here! Great!! It is true. People (as well as myself:( just respond with the answer “fine.” Sometimes I will blurt out something stupid just to see reactions, and if you are sick ans say you are, they runfor the hills, so really could people really care less, “How are you?” Well, they better care or I MAKE themcare! lol
    I really want to know the truth when they answer me, and I give the truth when I am asked. I am like youthough. I try to say anything out od the “norm” both to men and womenjust to see if they are really even listening. LOL Good article!!

  78. Ha, ha… I’m such a moron…

    No wonder I haven’t been getting any comments on the blog… it’s fixed now…

    Rip it to your heart’s desire… LMAO

  79. Its all fixed!!!
