Update #3

While not much has happened in the last few months, beside my Facebook account being hacked & deleted, therefore losing access to my #IBD4U Facebook page as I had no backup or other admins on it, thinking this would never happen to me! Who wants my shitty Facebook account?! Anyway I can’t get it back despite multiple attempts to contact FB. So the only way to follow now is via the website on WordPress. So head on over to www.ivebeendatingforyou.com & please subscribe though there for the semi regular posts that I’ve been posting. This also includes the e-books, which make it easier to read the posts as they are released.

Now, on to a few stories, that aren’t worth their own post because they aren’t long, but follow on from Update & Update #2.

Neighbour: Well this is a new story, I haven’t ever written about this guy because to be honest he’s always been a bit creepy & quiet so I just wave to him & his wife whenever I’m out the front & they are too. Nothing exciting, right?

So this neighbour across the road who gave me his number in my letterbox to ask if I needed help moving my pergola that was delivered for my reno a while back. I messaged him & no, it’s up to the contractor to keep it safe but thanks for the offer… Since then he’s messaged to ask about a dog sitter for August – um ok (it was about January at this stage)!

One day, months later, we’ve have a few text exchanges but nothing worth writing about, I am out the front painting my driveway & I get a message from him, which I look at on my watch. He says that he’s sorry he didn’t wave to me when he was out the front too but he’s shy but asks if I’d like to go out for a coffee. He also says it’s creepy that he is messaging me when I am only 100 feet away from him… For fuck sake!! Yes it is creepy & I don’t want to go out for coffee with him. He was a wife/partner whatever, I am not getting involved with another married man again. Besides, I am not interested. Fuck off… Where are the single men?

Since then he messaged me “hey lady” urgh, I shudder… So gross… & talks about our horrible neighbours who I’m now fighting in court with the payment of the fences. Telling me they have a horrible dog staying there & someone in a caravan… Well I guess I do live in a shitty suburb in Adelaide. Can’t ask for much more than trash.

So he now follows me on tiktok, which is only posts of my dogs really, but he was looking at my profile almost everyday before he clicked follow. He usually likes every post too, so not sure how I feel about that, but oh well. He’s fairly harmless I guess…

Disabled Neighbour: I’m surprised I haven’t written about this guy to be honest. This guy lives a few houses away & right on the corner of the road that gets you out of my area, so there is no need, absolutely no need to drive past my house. But he does every single day, multiple times a day. So ages ago he put his business card in my letter box to mow my lawns. Then he’s popped by to ask to mow my lawns which I declined because I found another guy & thought it was weird that he only targeted me to mow my lawns, which aren’t even that bad, so was like he was trolling the neighbourhood for jobs. Mine was no worse than anyone else in the neighbourhood that he didn’t ask. When he was asking to mow my lawns he told me he’d had a car accident & had a brain injury – not sure if that was a ploy to get me to feel sorry for him but there is something off about this guy & I don’t want him mowing my lawns & in my backyard alone. He’s still driving and functioning so clearly it’s not that bad of a brain injury & he’s just giving off creepy vibe. He has a wife/partner & two little kids. I’m 100% not feeling good with this guy.

One day I pull in the driveway & am walking inside when he drives past. Nothing special about that except as I am getting the dogs fed and sorting out stuff, there is a knock at the door. Flustered I run to the door & it’s this guy asking if I need my lawns mowed, which I say no I don’t. He asks if I am single, which I stupidly say yes, just me & the dogs. He then tells me that I am “really beautiful” & asks me out for a coffee. I politely decline & he leaves easier than I expect him too. He now just waves when I drive past – because he is ALWAYS in his car or out the front of his house which is weird. So I haven’t had this guy come back thank god, but when I am out the front working on the weekends, he will drive past, do a u-turn & drive back past – which is fucking creepy!

Why do my neighbours haven’t to be so creepy, both asking my out for coffee, this is my forever home, I do not want to have to move because I am not safe here!

M8: This guy got a total of 6 posts M8 #2, M8 #3, M8 #4, M8 #5 & M8 #6. But when you think about it, nothing really happened with him, I mean we had mediocre sex twice and that was kinda it. I will openly admit that I thought this guy was different & I let my guard down very quickly with him, just enjoying spending time with him when he was doing work at my house. Because of the things he was saying to our mutual friend, that this guy was seriously interested in me & wanted to actually date me! How stupid I was… This is why I never let my guard down! But anyway since then, he’s still got me on snapchat & every now & then we message, he has asked multiple times if I would sleep with him again, which I just am flirty with him but it never happens, I don’t really want it because I did actually have an attraction to this guy. He posts snaps of the desert so I assume he’s working away again, so I never try to catch up with him.

So after the second time we slept together, I don’t see him again, which I am ok with, I don’t know that it’s wise with this one anyway, I did like him & he played me – more than I’ve been played before. Shortly after, maybe a few months after we saw each other, I find out though our mutual friend that his 18 year old (she’s probably 20 or 21 by now) baby mumma is pregnant again with his fifth kid, second one with her. I don’t engage much with him, but I do chat with him on snapchat sporadically. He comments on my posts & sometimes sends me a picture of a animal that’s become my icon, I guess. It might be a licence plate with the words or a real one or even just something he saw – which is what I love about having an icon because anyone who knows what it is, can’t look at one & not think of me!

Anyway I don’t engage in the catch up talk, I always say that it’s open or something like that, which I am almost certain, is what he wants, just to know that I am an option for him if he wants it. I’m not sure but I guess its obvious because every time he’s home, I never get massages from him. It’s all good, I don’t think I would bother catching up with him anyway!

I guess that’s what I get…
