Frog Season - n. the seemingly interminable period of time after the worst date you've ever had, when the next two or three or more dates with other men are consecutively worse. The moonies are out tonight.....

Adeleyna,
Go to your concert (if there is nobody else you want to take) da dum...by yourself. Take your spare ticket with you. I'd like to tell you about a smile story I experienced one very grey rainy day last spring.
My bf and I had tickets to a contemporary dance show given to him by his mo...
To "trow" someone off the list v. To write off a man as not a possibility because he has not contacted you after a really great date.

Wise,
From earlier in the day -
I have many comments to your interesting post, but I have deadlines and will have to edit this later. This (and Robin's post) will make good ammo for my indirect discussion with my bf about the importance of showing anger or emotion in a relationship which (as t...
Audrey,
You know me. I am as laid-back and understanding as they come when it comes to sh1t happens. My feelings of unimportance came from the fact that he did not think to call ME when his flights were rearranged on Friday morning, since we did have an "informal?" date set up for Sun night.
