I'm taking a therapist-recommended dating hiatus. I'm not sure what it entails, but I get to make the rules.
- Only log into OkCupid to see incoming messages; no sending messages preemptively
- Do not go out with a guy who doesn't ask properly. Since Sanfranista wondered what I mean, it's showing respect for my time. "Hey Sabrina, what are you doing next Friday, would you like to have coffee?" It does not mean an 11pm text asking if I want to meet up.
- No approaching men at parties and bars
- Staying in on a Saturday night is not condemning me to a life of spinsterhood. I am not missing the opportunity to meet my potential husband. Keep reminding myself that.
- No drunk texting, which easy enough since everyone's deleted from my phone

Right on. Also, anyone who gets all pissy because you already have plans (ie: weren't waiting on pins and needles for him to ask you out) isn't worthy of a date from you (IMO). #3 made me LOL.
Good for you. If anything it will help with your perspective on the whole dating thing.
Trust me, nobody ever died from staying home on a Saturday night ;)
Exactly, Ash - staying home on a Sat night will save me $ and empty calories (in which I do not count chocolate or baguettes) :)
Obx - guys have gotten so spoiled by women willing to see them last-min! Not this girl.
Yeah just think of all the money you'll save!!!
Dating hiatus is great! It's imporant to take time out to relax and think.
I kind of love staying home on saturday nights, LOL. However, I think I may have veered too far in the antisocial direction lately. ;)
I recommend getting rid of all online dating.. Give it a break for a couple of months.. You might not realize how depressing it is while you are part of the "movement." I made it a point to shamelessly flirt with at least 3 men daily.. Make other goals to replace your online dating.. It will definately make you happier in the long run..
