A dating update…

I said in my last entry that I could write a whole entry about the current state of my love life, and I wasn’t kidding. Over the last two months, shit has gotten really out of hand and it’s been crazy and whether good or bad depends on who I’m talking about. 2019 has been a bit of a rocky year in the love department but it looks like the year is ending with a bang as something huge recently happened.

So let’s handle this one person at a time, shall we? Here is what’s been going on regarding the ladies in my life.

Amy:

I really liked this lady. We got along rather well, and we had fun whenever we were together, but the issue was time. She didn’t want to hang out with my kids, and didn’t want me around when her kid was home. She also made it clear that she only wanted to be friends… with benefits. I nixed this idea because I have plenty of friends, and I only wished to share these particular benefits with a girlfriend or wife, and no one else. And because of the kids, we could only meet to do anything once a month, and that’s not enough time for me. So because of that, I ended things with Amy a few months ago.

Kaylee:

Kaylee is Katherine’s mother, so as the mother of my child, I was open to possibly having a relationship with her. Turns out Kaylee has no idea whether or not she wants to and changes her mind more often than I change my socks. It’s almost like she’s bi-polar, but while I try to say this in jest she can’t commit to anything. Some days she likes me and on others she hates me. This kind of flip flopping gets old very quickly, and right now I’m not talking to her. That also means I have no access to see my daughter. I am currently looking for an attorney to rectify this in family court. Turns out I’m not the only one concerned about her mental health, as child services contacted me to inform me Kaylee is under investigation. They even came over and inspected my apartment. They never said why and I’m not going to speculate. I’m hoping this is much to do about nothing, but I can’t help but be concerned. You know things are not well in the state of Denmark when your last comments to one another are “see you in court”.

Gabrielle (Gabby):

This lovely lady came out of fucking nowhere. I’ve known Gabrielle (but called Gabby by friends/family) for many years. We used to be co-workers at one of my call centers almost ten years ago, and have been in contact on and off since then. A little over a month ago, we reconnected for the first time in two years, and since I was single at that moment, I chose to not be subtle and admitted to Gabby that I’ve had a crush on her for quite some time. She’s an elegant, smart lady and I’ve been digging her for a while. We started talking every night, and then started dating as of early September. Last weekend, I met her family and we hit things off. Our first meeting went so well, they invited me over for Thanksgiving last Monday, which was awesome. Gabby and I are really doing well, and the last weekend was more than I could have hoped for. Gabby and I are now making plans to see a Raptors game together for my birthday. I’m looking forward to doing something with someone on my birthday, so things are looking great here.

Gabby and I are getting pretty serious, and the dinners with her family was a big step. I posted pictures of Gabby and I on social media and the response and support has been nothing but positive. My brother and closest friends have noticed a difference in my attitude since I started seeing Gabby and they approve of it as well. If this keeps going any better, things could get super serious.

So that’s everything in a nutshell… and you’re all caught up.
