Maybe she's off celebrating her birthday.

This was interesting to hear the guys' perspective.

Any time I ever tried to pursue a guy, they didn't like me. I just thought guys like to do the pursuing because they are the hunters, they like the conquest.

My mother grew up in the 50's and forced me to act like that elusive unicorn, nice girl when I started seriously dating. She said "Act like you just fell off a Christmas tree", like I was a shiny, perfect decoration, lol.

Well, the irony is that I am far from a sparkly ornament, for sure. So, my husband fell in love with the very best of me, who didn't tell him all the bad things that happened to me and that I had done. Those things started coming out later in our relationship. He still loved me. He hid plenty of skeletons in his closet, too.

In hindsight, I should have continued to keep my mouth shut about my past. There was no point in telling. I wish I never even gave it all another thought.

Anyway, guys, just keep being who you are. You all sound like really nice, genuine people with plenty of love to give. And there is someone out there for you.
