Ok...this has been nagging at the back of my mind and I need some input. Here is the scenario:
You go out on a date with someone you aren't even sure you wanted to go out with in the first place. Since you hadn't met this person you wanted to give it a chance so you suck it up and go out with them. You meet at Appl*bee's for dinner. It's a pleasant dinner with decent conversation. Let's say your date spends $60 for dinner. Easy to do at the above said restaurant. Your date walks you to your car, pleasantries are exchanged and you say you will talk to him later...which by the way you do but realize the chemistry/attraction is just not there.
Now for the question. Because said date spent $60 on dinner for the BOTH of you...are you obligated to go out with them again or take them home with you on the first date? Please help me out with this one.

Too much...

 There are days I enjoy living my life.  There are days I thoroughly hate it.  Yesterday, while grocery shopping, I almost had a breakdown.  Standing there in the aisle, I had to fight, with everything in me, to not start crying.   Too much has been hitting me this month and I think I'm at the end of my rope.   Beginning of the month, D's new wife sent me a text telling me to lose his number, email and address because I already had my chance with him. I laughed at the absurdity of everything she said in that text as it sounded like something a teenaged girl would write. I haven't wanted that man in almost 20 years, so, she is either highly jealous of his past and any woman he used to be interested in or is extremely insecure with herself and her relationship.  Regardless of her mental state, I told her I was just catching up on life with him, but I will respect her request and not talk to him again.  I've been told she has been married 4...

2004 - 2023

  Twenty years ago, I was a mess. I was belittled and demeaned to the point where I hated myself and would have done anything to hurt those who hurt me. From family to friends to men. I lashed out, created more drama than was necessary and didn't care who I hurt. As long as they were hurt before they hurt me, I justified my words and actions. If someone DID hurt me? God help them. I held nothing back. I'm not proud of who I was. I am ashamed of who I was. I did things I should have never done, and I cannot take any of it back no matter how desperately I wish I could. Today, in 2023, I am someone completely different than who that woman was in 2004. I'm not the unmedicated mentally ill person anymore. I'm getting healthy not only mentally but physically. I'm more successful than I was told I would ever be. I'm not the loser bitch that I was told I was. I'm a good person with an "I have gone through hell" history. I am a woman who struggles with ea...

day by day

 Each day that passes is a day I see my life, past and present, a bit clearer.  I see who I am and who I've always been.  I grew up in a house where love wasn't something we said or showed.  I realize now, I wasn't taught how to love.  I had a brother who was very verbally abusive towards me and a mom who just didn't seem to care.  Her focus was on my brother.  My dad was quiet and didn't say a whole lot of anything.  My parents were raised in homes that didn't show or say love so they carried that into the raising of their kids.  My brother is the same way.    I looked at a photo of my mom today and I felt like I was looking at a stranger.  I always wanted a mom and I would do everything I could to make my mom into that person.  She just isn't and I can see that no matter how much I sugar-coat who she is and what she did to me, the reality of it is that she didn't want me.  She made that very clear 3 years ago. ...
