La Mesa's Magical Oasis...
I was very fortunate to hear from the owner of the dog Ben that I mentioned in my blog. Ben kindly pointed out to me that he is a Newfoundland, and not a Chow. As he has a heart of gold he was very gracious about it, and I regret the error. Dear Ben please note the correction in my blog. Bear and I hope to see you again soon!

They Had Great Text by Katie Reese

They Had Great Text by Katie Reese
Here are the 2 things you did wrong: 1. Phone sex before getting to know him or having a single date or establishing any type of relationship; 2. Sex on the first date and every date thereafter. Should be no mystery to you why the relationship was primarily sexual. YOU set it up that way from the beginning. If you wanted a genuine relationship with the guy then take the time to get to know him and he you, be a lady, make him treat you with respect. Don't spread your legs right off the bat then wonder why he reduces you to a booty call. C'mon girl, you're smarter than that. "Girl's got her needs" you say... well, you got them met. So what are you complaining about?— April 8, 2009 5:13 p.m.
Space It Out by Erin Harris
Do not blame yourself. This guy has some MAJOR emotional intimacy issues (remember, he got in touch with you right after his previous relationship ended and then was "in love" with you by the 3rd day he was with you again). He likes being in a relationship, i.e., having a girlfriend; but when it is time to get past the fantasy of all that he's busy checking out his next emotional high with someone new. I would guess he has a compulsive or addictive personality and the seritonin rush of a new love is one of his drugs of choice. When someone tells you or shows you who they are, believe them! You could not have done anything differently to prevent this and hopefully you did not encourage a reconciliation and got past the pain. He did you a favor in the long run. Good luck girlfriend, we've all been there - it really wasn't you, it WAS him.— June 7, 2008 4:39 a.m.

Peanut Butter Chaser by Robert Kirby
very cool story... glad I read it. Best wishes to you.— June 7, 2008 4:23 a.m.

Sorry for your pain, albeit after the fact. However, you did her a favor, albeit unintentional (okay, I'm done using the "a" word now). And what is truly sad is that most likely, despite your epiphany, you'll do it again. Stick with the bobble heads: they won't mind and you'll lighten your karmic load.— June 7, 2008 4:08 a.m.
Thanks to Jack by Jordan Keith
How do you know she didn't think you were "fugly" and was just trying to be nice? I thought your story was classless. You're the kind of guy us "pretty girls" won't go out with. Typical. There's a good reason why you're still single chum.— June 7, 2008 3:39 a.m.
