There are just a couple of things that I thought I should tell you. I learned these while I was the object of your guy's affection.
First of all, don't be frightened if he smothers much more love on you than you had expected. Don't be surprised if he treats you much better than any other guy you have ever met. And let it not scare you that he will actually listen carefully to every word you say, even when you're just speaking quietly. Also, you should know that he remembers everything you will say. He's hurt easily, especially by the painful words a careless girl will say. If you do hurt him, then you'll have to pay the price of seeing the broken look in his passionate and deep brown eyes, and watch the light in them fade. But if this happens, all is not lost- a kiss and an "I love you" can heal anything. And please, don’t say I love you to him, unless you really mean it, nothing hurts him more then someone who really doesn’t care. Sometimes, he won't tell you what he is feeling, but... just know that he is protecting you and if you ever feel that something isn't right, just look into his beautiful brown eyes and you will be able to see into him. You can see everything he is feeling, everything he is thinking, everything that isn't right with him... He won't ever try to hurt you, because he just isn't that way, so please don't hurt him because if you do, I don't think I could ever forgive you. I don't think there could ever be a worse feeling in the world than knowing that you have the boy that I love and knowing that you hurt him. You should know that if you two ever get into a fight, just make sure you pick only the ones worth fighting for... He will always keep his temper and will never curse at you or call you names, despite the anger he may be feeling. Though he may act mature, most of the time, once he's given you his heart, he will begin to open up to you and his silliness will make your heart smile, in a way that words can not explain. Don't hold a tight grip on him, let him go and be part of the world and experience new things. You will find that he is a busy guy and that he is so very independent. Sometimes, he will need his space, but don't worry... He'll always make time for you and even when you're not around, you'll be in his thoughts. You will find that he isn't like any other guy that you have met, so please don't take him for granite. Remember, and even though he won't admit it, he really does like to be surprised. He is less tough than he may appear, you just have to take the time and let him bring down his guard... He is so sweet and so amazing and know that if you ever leave him, you will break his heart apart, the same way that my heart breaks apart, as I sit here writing this to you. Don't ever try to pull him away from his dreams. He is going to be an extremely successful man and won't ever let you give up on your dreams, either. He will encourage you to become everything you can be and will never, ever let you down. He likes it when you kiss his ear and nothing is better than hugging each other. Just watch how your hand will fit perfectly into his and when it does, it seems as if nothing in the world could hurt you, because he is there. And when he puts his arms around you and tells you that you are the girl he loves, you will know, there isn't any guy in the world better than him... Don't ever let him go. You will regret doing so, for the rest of time... I promise, you will.

A month into the New Year. . .And im being tested
One month into the New Year has me thinking,
Three.
Two.
One.
The ball drops . . . Resolutions are made.
People scream and people kiss and is it possible to change?
Is it really truly possible to leave the past behind?
Welcome to Midnight.
Another year comes to a close. Another year begins.
With a moment in between.
Why the fuss?
Why the fame and fireworks?
Is it more than hype? More than something else to sell us?
Is there something to this holiday? Something true inside it?
Because isn't there something inside us that aches for change year round?...
Dreams it to be possible...
To let go.
To hold on.
To leave it behind.
To start again.
To be new.
Is it possible?
If you're reading this, if there's air in your lungs, then you're alive today , tonight right now.,
And who can know how long we have here...
Are there things to fight to live for?
Moments and people... Weddings and children and all your different dreams...
Love...
Is your life more than just your own?
And are there broken things you were made to fight to fix?
Broken families, broken friends... Injustice.
Will you move for things that matter?
Wouldn't it be nice if change took just a moment?
Wouldn't it be nice if it were that easy?
Three.
Two.
One.
The ball drops . . . Resolutions are made.

Just call me "Chuck"
Real life Good Luck Chuck? If theres a close thing to a real life Good Luck Chuck, im probably the living proof. For those of you that havent seen the flick, The story follows Dr. Charlie Logan (played by Dane Cook). He is incapable of telling someone he loves them, but that’s not his only or major affliction. Charlie is cursed. When he gets with a woman, the very next man she dates, will be the man of her dreams.
The men that made me feel like Heather again, An upbeat fun loving girl that felt silly and sexy and alive as opposed to what I really felt like the pony tail mom in sweats with no sleep and no life!
I have been divorced for 3.. almost 4 years now and this "curse" has come to be true...The five men that will prove my theory are as followed...
[The High School Sweetheart] Most of you know after my divorce with my highschool sweetheart he remarried just 8 short months later. Im not going to touch on this topic because it was my first real heartbreak and every girl knows that thats something you keep to yourself but, I will say point *one* proven.
[The One that got away] At times we all think about that “one true love that got away”. We ask for some explanation to why but the truth is sometimes we never find the answer. This man will always hold a special place close to my heart. The many years we have spent being at each others side figuring life out and never being too far away to fix each other will always leave me grateful. He is now a wonderful father and is in a loving committed relationship. Point *two* proven.
[The Bad Boy] Oh yes I have dated all kinds friends :-) Some of the most unforgettable and crazy nights were spent with this man. After all these years he makes me smile like no person ever has. The fearless, goofy, quick witted boy (that made me feel like I could do no wrong in his eyes ) turned into a man and got married after our relationship. He is now divorced and I still see him around from time to time. Point *three* proven.
[The Country Cutie] Have you ever met someone you could just be comfortable with in any situation? This man had the ability to make me feel at home anywhere we were. In a world where every one is so fast paced he knew how to slow time and make our hours together fun and perfect... It did not matter if we were out at a fancy resturant or backroading and drinking beer there is something bout a country man that makes a girl feel like everything is right in her world.(Am I right ladies??) We shared so many great friends and great memories but unfortunately a lot of limitations. He is still a good friend and is in a committed relationship. Point *four* proven.
[The Best of me]It took me a long while to let go of this one probably because my whole being was so consumed by the thought of him. It was like I was drugged. My once broken heart was very much in love with him to the point that I became weak and vulnerable once again. I didn’t feel like being loved at the time and I wasn't looking for something... but he found me. This amazing man turned my world around and the same man turned my world upside down. He deserves a great thanks for making me feel real love again but as fate would have it this love ended. He is now married and hopefully very happy. Point *five* proven.
To the man who broke my heart: don’t worry because it doesn’t beat for you anymore.
To the man who fed me while bruising my dignity: I am still alive and kicking.
To the men who shared glory with me: I can't remember your names anymore ??
To the men who brought me tears: I am laughing more often now.
To the men who disappointed me: I am full of hope now.
To the man who left me hopeless: It didn't last long.. I have more hopes and dreams than you would have ever imagined!
To the men who promised me the fairytale and took it back: Keep em !! "Cinderella believed in doing something with her dreams. She did it right.. When Prince Charming didn't come along, she went over to the palace and got him herself."
So see the curse lives on in me and yes there are many friends that call me "Chuck" so until the day that I meet him, the one who will break the curse I will smile and laugh (mostly laugh) and remember the boys/men who shaped me into the Chuck that I am today and to the future men in my life... Good Luck !

To the men of the past. . . You can stay there !
Because everyone has that someone :-/
//Frankie Ballard- Tell me you get lonely//
I bet you're kickin yourself for lettin me walk away
Makin yourself a list of things you wish you didn't say
Sitting by the phone hoping it's gonna ring
Chorus
Tell me you get lonely when it's cold outside
Tell me that you're only barely gettin by
I need to know it hurts every time that you my name
It ain't the same without me, girl
Tell me you get lonely
Sometimes you're up all night cryin over me
You've gotta take off of work to catch up your sleep
But that just don't work, now does it, baby
(repeat chorus)
Tell me you get lonely, and I'll come back
All you've gotta do is call me , my bag's been packed
I'm dyin of pride, but I want you to know
That I get lonely when it's cold outside
Baby, I'm only barely gettin by
And it still hurts every time that I hear your name
It ain't the same without you, girl
Baby, I get lonely, yeah, I get lonely
Tell me you get lonely too
Tell me you get lonely
//Frankie Ballard- Tell me you get lonely//

Sitting by the phone hoping it's gonna ring
Chorus
Tell me you get lonely when it's cold outside
Tell me that you're only barely gettin by
I need to know it hurts every time that you my name

Dating Philosophy. . HmMm
-Here's my philosophy on dating. It's important to have somebody that can make you laugh, somebody you can trust, somebody that, y'know, turns you on... And it's really, really important that these three people don't know each other.

Who follows the rules?!!
Ok so about 6 months ago I had a friend sit down and seriously talk with me about relationships and this is basically what she said, “Have you ever heard of The Rules Heather? It’s a book my mom gave to me about dating and how to pick up men. I thought it was a load of crap but read it anyways…and POOF! My boyfriend would move mountains for me. He is totally head over heels in love with me and I know it’s because I followed The Rules”. Me: "Ummm, ok," Well ...I had to at least give it a peek. . . (Pshhh single women will try ANYTHING right???) lol!!
I know I know, it makes me sound like i’m in a super dooper hurry to lock down a man. That’s NOT the case ladies, don’t lose faith in me. I am fine at the place I am at… But, I am a firm believer that it’s good to explore different worlds of thought—-whether it be with politics, religion, fashion and why not how to date or snag a man Right? Hey, I’m open to hear what Ellen Fein and Sherrie Schneider have to say. Apparently, they are in “loving” and “healthy” relationships w/ their men…so, I say, it could be a waste of a couple hours or it could be the best trip to hastings and $9.99 I ever spent in my life if these little words of wisdom end up working out and I find the nerd of my dreams. So I decided to rock out, Move Like Jagger, and read me some RULES!
OK, so I got 5 pages in and fell asleep with my mouth open (gross…) Plus, after the 5 pages, all they kept repeating was how if you follow the rules you’ll “find your soul mate”…SNOOOOOOOOZZZZZZZE. After my cat nap I woke back up and looked at the book again and gave it another go. Whatever right, it did have a fatty diamond rock on the front (#allgirlslikediamondseveniftheywontadmitit). It says, The real truth: Treat the guy you like as if you don’t like him that much at all. WOW apparently we’re going back to 1st grade. But if it worked for Ellen, Sherrie, and their friends Its got to work right?!! HAHA
For giggles Let’s go over some of the RULES :
Rule #3—-Dont’ stare at Men or Talk Too Much. BOOM I’m done right here. I tend to be a bit of a creeper and I talk FAR too much. Not really about myself, but about EVERYTHING else under the sun. I’m dead. I should quit now. Soul mate=never to be found. Thanks alot Ellen and Sherrie…jerks!!
Ok, Ok, lemme check out the next rules…
Rule #4: Don’t meet him halfway or go dutch on a date. DEAD IN THE WATER AGAIN. I have a problem with always doing the wallet grab and managing to be out with the dudes that actually accept the offer on the bill. F…Me + the Rules = Epic Fail.
Ok, there are like 20 more, I have to be doing a couple.
Rule #5: Don’t Call and Rarely Accept his calls. BAM! I WIN. I never initiate the calls, and I like to make a guy call me twice. I HATE the idea of being needy, desperate, or too available. Always have. I never drunk dial a guy after we’ve broken up, I never double dip, and I REALLY don’t initiate phone calls. These behaviors are not my style. Wahoo. Me =1 and The Rules = like 23.
Rule #15, don’t rush into Sex or other intimacy. I’m not perfecto, but i am actually pretty good with this one (#yourbodyisyourtemplepeeps),
Rule #20, Be Honest but Mysterious. I’m actually more mysterious than you would think (cause i’m loud), but I keep mystery. I don’t like everyone knowing my business.
Rule #25, Practice Practice Practice getting good at the Rules…(OK I will sheesh.)
Rule #33, Follow the Rules and you’ll live happily ever after. We’ll just see about that E bone and S Bomb. Let’s see if these RULES are actually something worth noting.
Apparently, i’m supposed to have a separate schedule for dates 1-3 and 4-6. (1-3), I’m supposes to be quiet, observant, and sweet (i’m screwed). End the date first, kiss appropriately, and not act too interested. If he is going to ask me out for Saturday, he has to lock plans down by Wednesday. No dating more than once in a week and absolutely NO spur of the moment meet ups. Apparently “i’m busy and in high demand” and am not available at the drop of a hat. This actually not to sound idiotic, it’s really true (how am I gonna do this dating stuff??)
Dates (4-6) you can be a little more like “yourself” (phew) and you can go on 2 dates in the same week. He can come up to your apartment or you can go up to his for a drink, but no hanky panky… (;-) ya ya ) According to the ladies, they should be hooked after date 6. They see you as their prize, they wanna win , and cherish you for life ( LOL and this actually works in real life? PSHHH where?!!!)
Dating using “THE RULES” = (Fail) – My Mission: To find a great fellow that I can be myself around (on the 8th date of course when I can be myself), eat delicious food, dance like a fool and meet someone who will take me home to mom….lol…. OK, READY GO!

Completely Thrilled....
I am so excited and shocked that I have had SO much positive feedback from a simple blog! I have got endless emails of other people stories ( who knew this stuff happened to other people as well!) and a lot of great comments and laughs out of just a few of my own stories I hope you all can grab a glass of wine and enjoy so many more stories of humor and heartbreak in the many days ahead * And Fellas please take note on what not to do and if your one of my "unknown" men thanks for the memories..Heres to you!!

Did I shave my legs for this?!!
I bought these new heels, did my nails
Had my hair done just right
I thought this new dress was a sure bet
For romance tonight
Well it’s perfectly clear, between the TV and beer
I won’t get so much as a kiss
As I head for the door I turn around to be sure
Did I shave my legs for this?
-The eternal words of Deana Carter
Deana Carter, thank you. You truly understand the inner workings of my soul. Did I shave my legs for this? That pretty much sums up the last few years of my dating life. Well, that and, if I fake a food-borne illness can I make it home in time for Greys Anatomy?
Ok So let me paint you a picture (and I hope some of you women can relate). . I have shaved my legs I am curling my hair with one hand and putting on mascara with the other while contemplating why in the hell I decided to go with the cute lace panties that are clearly not comfortable over the boy cut ones that would just ease my night. When I get a phone call from “New guy” saying that he is gonna be early…Well that’s just freakin PERFECT!
I scramble around to finish getting ready unsure what we are doing for the evening I decide to dress cute and wear my lucky heels ! He shows up with flowers in hand. (He always has gone out of his way to make me feel special.) We head out the door for our date! Dinner is perfect and we end up at a game that was a blast.. This date was definitely going places . . .
After a fun and perfect evening we got back to my house and are rounding the side of the house in the dark and I trip.(Damn cute heels!) I'm clumsy. I recover myself (I thought) only to find myself plunging back down the stairs that leads into my house... It's so dark that he stands there asking "where did you go?"
Sprained ankle... not just a little sprained..Really sprained..horrible pain! He carried me in and fed me Tylenol. Arranged the pillows so my ankle was propped up and put a bag of frozen veggies on it to ice it. In the morning he brought me the sweetest thing I have ever been given after a catastrophic first date: crutches. All I have to say here is: YAY FOR MEN WHO STILL KNOW HOW TO BEHAVE LIKE GENTLEMEN.
We had to schedule a re-do. No more Redneck Dates: I's already crippled on the first date so's I couldn’t run away no more!! HA HA

Lets Just Call Him Louie . . .
I went on a date recently with a guy I use to know from school. . For privacy reasons let’s just call him "Louie"
After we reconnected on Facebook we decided to exchange numbers and spent hours texting and a few days talking before we decided to have dinner. Here is where the fun begins... After Louie shows up almost 2 hours late, we head to dinner.. Deciding to eat at a pizza/pub place we head outta town. Now usually I take my own car and meet a date there (just in case I need to bail) but, I gave him the benefit of doubt. I know this guy and we use to go to school together so I felt it was a rational decision to ride together.
We arrive at our destination and he is a little jittery and very nervous.. (First date jitters I assume!) The waitress comes to take our order and she is a very cute bubbly little blonde. She politely asks what we would like to order to which my date replies : Beer and Pizza… ( I am a pizza and beer girl so..fair enough) She points out some selections on the menu to which he ask how much each item is. (First Red Flag). The waitress smiles and gives all information while I am trying to be nice and not show my real emotion (What a penny pincher!!)
After we get our food a random guy walks into the pub and says “Hey Louie” Louie was not surprised at all to see him and excused himself to go say hello. Returning back to the table he informs me he believes he left his wallet in his car and needs to go retrieve it.. with a smile on my face I say okay no problem….10 min go by…15…25… and the waitress is even concerned at this point… b/c she chooses to sit with me and ask what’s going on with my date that I am clearly freaked out by LOL .. Not knowing what to say I say it’s a blind date and it’s going horribly wrong! She laughs and tells me if I need anything just flag her down. My date finally returns 30 minutes later (after what I believe to be a drug deal in the parking lot) and is carrying a coin purse (yes, his wallet).
The waitress returns with the ticket and a sympathetic smile on her face. Louie is scrapping through his wallet (the coin purse) and saying I sure hope I have enough. (YOU HAVE GOT TO BE JOKING RIGHT????) So we finally leave and he asks if I would like to go shoot pool with a friend. I fake a text to my mom and let him know I need to return to town because my daughter is not sleeping well and that is when my assumption was proved to be correct. Louie makes a phone call to his pool friend and lets him know we will be heading home and then continues to talk and get in a heated argument with unknown friend (drug dealer) about money and what happened in the parking lot. After he gets off the phone he asks me again if I would mind going and meeting up with his friends my reply was a very frustrated no I need to get home.
SO, I made it home alive and unharmed. Woke up to 18 text messages from Louie and reading them I wonder why I even continue to date….. The guy asked me if I took his money..He told me what an awesome woman I was.. and informed me he doesnt remember half of the evening all in a matter of a few messages. Yes he was clearly a druggie..dealing drugs..and I was the lovely bystander for the eveing and No...you cant make this stuff up...........

The Bastards I Wont Date IN 2012!
I started dating again after my divorce. Noone told me how challenging that would be :-) I have guarded myself and put myself completely out there. My poor friends always hearing “Heather’s dating disasters” lol - knowing one day it will end and praying everyday to meet the man that makes life worth waking up next to someone. Until than friends im going to find a Mr Right Now and maybe Mr Right will follow . .
There’s a lot of funny things that happen in the dating scene. When men and women meet up; you know it will be an interesting experience.I’m not alone with this. Many people have taken their frustration at dating listed below are the 10 types of men I DONT WANT in 2012
God knows I've been accused of not knowing what I want more than once... So, I've been doing some figuring out on what type of losers I choose not to date...
1.The Dare-Devil. I'm over men with a need to go 90. On their motorcycles. In freezing rain. Or take on the double black diamond when they've never actually strapped on skis before. My days of scraping men up off the sidewalk are over. In 2012, there will be no more games of playing nurse to his knucklehead. "Hey, watch this!" doesn't have to end with a trip to the emergency room.
2. Men over 25 who think baggy jeans and Air Force Ones are appropriate date gear. Sorry, save that stuff for a Hip Hop video... And Air Force Ones, didn't Nelly rhyming about them automatically play them out?
3. Men who want the intimacy (and I don't just mean the sex) of a relationship but don't want a relationship. If it walks and talks like a relationship, then it is. And pretending any different means you're not ready to "man up".
4. Men who's idea of a date is: "Hanging Out Sometime". Sorry, but if you're asking me out on a date, then it better be just that - a date. No, I do not want to hang out at your house. No, I do not want to go to redbox and get a video. And no, no money has to be spent for it to be a date. Some of my best dates were no money spent and just some thought into it...
5. The Man Obsessed With His Mother He loves her, defers to her, consults her about everything, and you will never live up to her. OR he hates her, constantly complains about her, and expects you to be the complete opposite of her. Either way, there isn't enough room in a relationship for you, him, and the giant Shadow Of His Mother.
6. Men who have recently broken up with The Love of Their Life. You need time to heal. And by heal, I don't mean complaining to me about your Ex while trying to date me. Do not tell me about your ex and how you loved her, or want to slash her tires. I'm not interested.
7. Men who consider the other woman in their life sports. Granted I am a huge Sports fan... But I am so not interested in who beat who, how much they won by, etc when we are out. And do not end a date early with me to watch a game.
8. Men who think they can make me jealous. Look everyone has adoring fans... Cool. I'm not gonna fight for ya - this ain't The Bachelor and I for sure ain't one of those women on any dating reality show. I will never care who loves you or who gave you their number so don't waste your breath.
9. The Angry Drunk Man Everyone loves this couple. You know the one. You’re at the bar and you look over at some loud, obnoxious drunk guy getting in someone’s face about whose team was better 5+ years ago...(Side note: Who CARES?) And his poor girlfriend is tugging at his arm/nervously laughing, trying to play it off like he’s such a jokester, but really knowing what everyone else is thinking: this jerk is going to get kicked out... Don’t be that girl. I don’t care how sweet he is when he’s sober.
10.. And most importantly... drumroll:The Stage Five-er Man Feel like you’re being followed? Double check to make sure he’s not reading this over your shoulder. Okay. Phew. Now, there’s a reason we want what we can’t have. There’s nothing sexy about a guy who acts like a little girl. Didn’t he have friends before he met you? No matter how in love you are, you still need your night to watch Greys Anatomy, and no, he can’t come to your cousin’s baby shower. At the end of the day, the clingers never stick. He may have the best of intentions, but he may also need to get a life.

The Single Mom Dating Life . . .
Sexy and funny dating tales of a divorced 20-something single mom. Hilarious, heartbreaking and mostly true stories about dating, being a mom and living life to the fullest. From pony tail mom to "boom-chicka-wa-wa" and everything in between... here is my dating/life diary.
The stories in the diary are from four years of dating after a divorce. I love being a woman and I enjoy single life, however I'm really wanting to find love. I am convinced that I'm only one bad relationship away from becoming The Crazy Cat Lady and starting THAT blog next :-P
