Manbattical - I need a break!

OK, I’ve said it before, probably on this very blog, but this time I mean it. No really, I do! I’m going on manbattical, a self-imposed break from dating that lasts from now until, well, haven’t figured that out yet.

Why the hiatus from hunnies? To clear my mind, I suppose. While I haven’t had a boyfriend in nearly two years, I’ve been dating like it’s my job. In fact, I haven’t gone more than a few weeks without a date since more than a year ago.

Some would say I’m fortunate to meet so many people, and while it was fun for a time, I’m beginning to think I’m losing sight of what I really want. Maybe I should be more selective, which could have helped me avoid wasting time with guys like the loser-artist-jerk from awhile back or the psycho online crybaby.

I want to focus on myself for a few months, getting back to Blanca basics. And I think I’ll wait around for the guy who meets my criteria, instead of hanging out with less-than-stellar others in the interim.

So my dear virtual friends, are manbatticals (womanbatticals, for some of you) a good thing? How many of you have taken a break from dating — and I don’t mean you sat at home because no one was asking you out — and what did you learn from it?

Oh, and happy Friday!

TGIGP Thank goodness I gotta perm LOL (What’s YOUR TGI?)

Yes, I’ve been on a manbatical before. I started to feel like I was just spinning my wheels, especially when this one dudes FIANCE called me from his phone…and NO I didn’t know he was engaged.

It’s Friday, do you need a laugh??

What Religion is Your Bra?

A man walked into the ladies department of Myer’s and shyly walked up to the woman behind the counter and said, ‘I’d like to buy a bra for my wife. ‘What type of bra?’ asked the clerk. ‘Type?’ inquires the man, ‘There’s more than one type?” Look around,’ said the saleslady, as she showed a sea of bras in every shape, size, colour and material imaginable. ‘Actually, even with all of this variety, there are really only four types of bras to choose from .’ Relieved, the man asked about the types. The saleslady replied:

‘There are the Catholic, the Salvation Army, the Presbyterian, and the Baptist types. Which one would you prefer?’ Now totally befuddled, the man asked about the differences between them. The Saleslady responded, ‘It is all really quite simple.

The Catholic type supports the masses. The Salvation Army type lifts the fallen. The Presbyterian type keeps them staunch and upright. The Baptist type makes mountains out of molehills.

Have you ever wondered why A, B, C, D, DD, E, F, G, and H are the letters used to define bra sizes? If you have wondered why, but couldn’t figure out what the letters stood for? It is about time you became informed!

(A} Almost Boobs. {B} Barely there… {C} Can’t Complain!.. {D} Dang!… {DD} Double dang!… {E} Enormous!… {F} Fake… {G} Get a Reduction… {H} Help me, I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!…

Oh, They forgot the German bra. Holtzemfromfloppen

TGIAMHOTF - Thank goodness I am home on this Friday I’m not feeling the greatest, so thought I’d take a day. Just been running around too much anyway!

Yeah, I’ve taken a break from dating before, usually after a bad breakup. I took one for a year after Dad died, just to clear my head. I got a chance to see during his illness just who was there for me and who wasn’t. My friend-friends were always down for me. The “boyfriends” -not so much. Kicked them to the curb and just took a break. Really wasn’t planning for the break to last that long, but my current SO was worth the wait. Sometimes you do need to just chill for a minute, not like you have to make a formal announcement of your dating break. Just take care of you and your well-being.

Dating like its your Job… I like that! Sometimes people will need time out for sure.

My friend in L.A. spoke with me the other day. He asked who I’m seeing currently, etc. I came back with I’m seeing Nobody. Its weird to me cause I’ve always been in relationships and when I’m not, I’m dating all over the place. This year its been very chill. I’ve been focused on work and buying a place…dating has gone by the way-side. I’m always going out, but I’m not putting myself in a position to meet a g/f or anything. If I was looking and striking out, thats one thing, but I don’t think I’ve even been looking. This weekend, I’ll have to change that.

I am taking a manbattical starting today and it will last for the entire weekend. I told my husband just this morning to leave me alone, I’m ovulating.

I know there has to be some university televising a football game to keep him occupied tomorrow so that gives me the whole day to myself to go to the salon, Costco and then Walmart.

And Sunday after church I will meet my friends for brunch and the marido and I will meet up again somewhere around the Sunday evening hour.

Sounds like a manbattical to me. LOL

First of all “frost,” if you want to write all that, submit an op-ed and see if it gets picked up! Stay on topic. Now…

I am currently on a manbattical, as you call it. I already “know” myself, so it’s not that, or that I need more time for that. I began internet dating 3 years ago and, while I’ve met some nice guys (and a few jerks), the ones I’m meeting just aren’t for me. Either guys have no conversation [nice guy, but BORING; no money [58 years old and can’t even pay their car tag!], live too far away [logistically inconvenient] or are just so jacked from the ex!

I don’t want to be without a man forever, but I just needed a break. Also, all I need right now is companionship and cuddling, I’m presently NOT in the mood for anyone pawing all over me. All my married friends wish they were me—single—and I wish I was them—married. But yes, take your break from the dating scene.

Whoo hoo! Happy Friday everyone.

I don’t think there is anything wrong with taking a break if you need it.

I personally haven’t taken a sabbatical from dating myself. I’m pretty selective as is, so I still have plenty of “me” time to know myself and listen to my inner voice.

So I guess we won’t get any good dating stories out of you anymore Blanca!

“Frost” Really, dude? This is a dating blog. Take your spam to the appropriate place, like our political insider blog. All I’ve been trying to figure out how to handle these types of “comments.” I am all for political discourse, but I’ve been seeing these impersonal political diatribes popping up on ajcblogs the past few days and it smacks of spam to me. I have no problem deleting crude comments, but I don’t want to censor less offensive discourse. However…I am really not loving the feeling that proponents of either presidential candidate are spamming our blogs, dropping in long enough to leave an essay on their favorite candidate and then peacing out. Ugh. Suggestions? Or should Blanca just let it go…?

And then let’s get back to topic! =)

Blanca Let me ask you a question. How pray tell do you suppose this will happen and you are not dating? Do you suppose he will fall from the sky and say “Hey I AM the one”?

(Although my statement may seem a bit cynical that’s not my intention. I’m just ovulating.)

Raqi I wondered if someone would ask that. What I mean is not going out with guys that I know don’t meet my expectations. And I think I can still get to know men even if I’m not dating them, so I want to wait to meet the guy (and that doesn’t mean a date with a stranger, could be more innocent than that) that I know has the same goals and values as I, and then see if a relationship is worth it.

Actually frost lifted that from talkingpointsmemo.com (saw the exact same letter yesterday)

ON Topic: I think taking a break from dating is fantastic. It gives you a chance to improve yourself. You get to read classic literature, learn a new hobby/skill, a get in touch with yourself on a spiritual levl.

I think that’s a way to focus yourself on the people that you allow in your life, as well. Who’s adding value, who isn’t (like Kimmie saw).

By Raqi

September 5, 2008 9:49 AM | Link to this

Blanca your response triggered a thought. sigh

Gang, what actually counts as a date? Can a guy and a girl venture out into a social setting and it not be a date? Is not any one on one meeting a “date”? “Hanging out” is really on a date. We are just so picky with our words these days.

Have we talked about this before?

(Not really that serious, just a thought)

Blanca, sounds like a good plan. However, if you are getting to know one of these guys and he asks you to dinner, wouldn’t that be a date? LOL.

From some of your posts, I think you should screen a little better or longer. You said you hate talking on the phone, but maybe some substantial phone convos will do you some good.

I always say I don’t “date strangers.” If we haven’t gotten to know each other on some personal level before the date, there is a greater potential for the date to go bad due to incompatability. There have been a couple guys who have pushed to got out before we’ve had real convo and all it does in the long run is get the door shown that much quicker. LOL

By Dan

September 5, 2008 10:03 AM | Link to this

@abc

What I’m talking about is improving on the design. Taking that time (post breakup or even a hiatus) to work on one’s self.

For me, I’ve always wanted to read the classic book list on the back of Cliff Notes. So in the times that I’m not seriously dating, I read one of those books (War and Peace bigger that Big Oprah).

It’s not a distraction or a way to avoid anything, to me it was a means to improve myself.

By Atl Lady

September 5, 2008 10:06 AM | Link to this

I took a manbattical for close to two years. I was examing what was in my spirit or persona that kept drawing the wrong type of men to me. I wanted a man that added things to my life like Dan said. In my twenties, I was just looking to for someone to build a future with who was willing to do the same and had a vision of such. I’m big on family so he had to at least like family. I wanted a Christian man, etc. Nowadays, I don’t know if the dating scene has just changed drastically, but too much is placed on financials. I mean everything from where you work, how much money you make, where you live, and what you’re driving. It’s ridiculous and I’m just not that deep into it. Too many men (and women too) these days I’ve run into don’t have their own pot to p$$$ in or a window, but hold the other person to that standard. I dated blue collar, white collar, and no collar (in college at the time). After awhile, it just makes you wonder.

I have yet to understand this. How is it people are not able to better themselves with a partner? What’s with this I can only do it alone mindset? There is a balance. A true balance. I, Me and We.

My reasons for leaving the nature guy was he took more from me than he added. So yeah the “chance to improve yourself” does apply there. But when you have someone that is on the same path of growth as you are, you can accomplish great things together.

“I can’t get closer to God or learn anything else in life or about life because I am with someone.” Huh?

I have actually learned some very useful things from a mate or two. And have been encouraged to venture out and experience or take hold of some things by a mate.

@Raqi

Even if you eliminate the job, the bills, gas and everything else we deal with everyday, adding building a relationship is a task in and of itself.

Getting to know the other person, spending time, and all the other perfunctory obligations of a new relationship - where do you have time to put in the work on yourself?

When do you get the time to just sit and be/get to know you? Answer: you don’t.

So I’m talking about ditching the friends for a couple of weekends, going to a cooking class on a weeknight instead of vegging in front of the tube…the kinda of stuff that is beneficial only to you.

Manbatical…lolX10…mayne…I have kicked in solo for such long periods of time…and I am so cool with it… and the older I get, the more I enjoy my unencumbered single zone…but I really do not date per se since 1986…just encounter someone…like to kick more, fine…do not like it, bye…but I have so much fun by myself, that I ain’t missing what ain’t worth it…period…funny, too, I guess it is not really an issue for me either because I still get flattering attention by way a conversations and compliments without needing more to be content.

Seriously, I really do believe that ppl need to have some time to recalibrate with the self introspection mode…time to evaluate, re-evaluate, redefine or reassess one’s self is important…find the center of self and such…it is a good measure of self development that encourages maturity and self-awareness…and I really do believe that taking time out from engaging in relationship pursuits or dating activities is essential if a person has dealt with a string (so to speak) of negative experiences.

I felt that taking the time to improve my skill set (if only for me) was a worthwhile activity.

I think we all spend time doing for others (work, friends, family) that the selfish moments are some of the best times there are.

Sure, going to class with someone else would be a nice activity with someone else, but for me cooking, learning to play guitar and the piano, reading, were all activities that -selfishly- were only for me. The fact that I could one day share that with someone is an added benefit, no doubt. But having that knowledge was a purely selfish enterprise.

Nothing wrong with pulling back sometimes from dating..re-evaulate your goals, needs and the possible growth spurt you may be experiencing..I know when thoughts much like your own Blanca come at me I know its time and im growing a lil more…

Once you step back out there its like bees to Honey if done with grace..its always good to get in touch with self and spend some alone time if possible…even when im with someone i need that time to go and be healthy in the relationship.

Dan, for me, I’ll do those kinds of things or not regardless of whether I’m in a relationship or dating. As Raqi said, I’m a little baffled by why people would think they need to take a sabbatical in order to read, take a class, travel, develop a skill, pursue a hobby or whatever.

It can get pretty funny, really. My girl is like that, she expects me to somehow prevent her from doing such things. It couldn’t be farther from the truth, I want her to do things that interest her, whether or not I’m included. I’m like, go ahead and get out of town for a few days, go to the retreat! I could use the break sometimes, really.

What I’m talking about is the dedicated, uninterrupted, completely focused time to do something that you want to do for you outside of anyone else?

Dan - I think the point of our question was, why can’t you do that while dating? Cuz eventually you’ll be married and in your theory (the way it comes across) personal growth stops there. So with anything in life, you have to find a balance.

I have the leisure time to do whatever I want, and therefore I do. The last activity I took up was pole dancing. While he can’t attend classes with me, I extended my hobby to my home, so that we can share in the experience together. LOL!!!

I know when I meet a guy for the first time ar accepting a invitation to although it may be considerred a date its just that a date, not a marriage proposal or me trying to get at a dude immediatly. I take my time to get to know a guy before I even seriously start dating. if i were not true to myself and don’t take the time to do the re-evaluate things I would be all out here nilly willy, selecting dudes without thinking of my depth, wants, desires, needs…looking at some dude like yeah I can’t wait to get him down the aisle or the like like allot of women do on the first date..automatically writing his last name attached to mine in the sky..

Rawi i don’t think the point is that you can’t get to know self and grow with someone. The point is that when not dating anyone seriously stepping back to get a grasp on what you want, need and desire and to acknowledge the natural growth that a person experiences..its healthy.why not take advantage of that time while single. That is the point…

Me reading a book, him watching CNN.

Despite popular belief, it is doable.*

Atl_Guy, it seems a curious phenomenon, but it makes sense really, somehow: nobody wants you until somebody does, and then everyone does. I think for women, it gives them a sense of empowerment to think that they could have another woman’s man if they wanted him.

Dan, if she’s watching TV and you’re learning a new language, I expect you’d have to be in different rooms, at least. You’d probably want to hang out with other people who speak that language, to practice. You might even want to take a class, in addition to the numerous self-study packages available. But, I get your point — what if she starts to pout or feel neglected, right?

Why can’t that be doable?

Rosetta Stone is possible. Get some headphones/microphone and immerse yourself in the speech.

The only person who can put limitations on yourself is you. You seem like a smart dude. People don’t start growing once they say “I do”. You are still individuals. Just individuals that have decided to work towards that same goal together. You can be strong in one thing that she is not and vice versa.

My wife has taken quilting classes, knitting classes, crocheting classes, cake decorating classes, and she took them after we married. Michaels has classes for just about everyhobby.

I have taken boxing classing at Art of boxing, Kickboxing, foreign language, many a class at the Home Depot and Lowes.

We’ve used some of classes to benefit the both of us. The home improvement stuff is obvious. However, the sewing and crocheting has allowed us to spend way less for gifts. She has made baby blankets for our neices and nephews. Made the drapes & curtains in the house.

You can continue to do you. If that person doesn’t allow it, then you are probably with the wrong person.

We ain’t hungry for real. We just want to know what new snacks we have on hand for the next football game. And while we’re at, might as well get a sandwich.

(Trying to get back to the game…) Thanks babe, can you put that meat-n-mayo away, the game’s back on. Yeah baby, you know I love you. GO! GO! Awwww Dayummm… Baby…? Could you hand me a beer?

AtlGuy when I’m in a relationship, girls approach me from everywhere trying to hook it up. But, when you’re single, they don’t approach you the same way. Its crazy!

That’s ‘cause when you’re in a relationship or at least hitting something on the regular, you don’t have that I-need-some-p@ssy look in your eyes. Women, especially Staceye, hate that horndog ambience that you might come in the door with.

Also, when you’re hitting regular, your body is constantly releasing pheromones, the natural chemical mating attractant.

Which brings me to this sidenote. This might sound funny but, if you find yourself in a dryspell, jack your johnson before you go out. That pheromone release along with that “don’t go shopping hungry” thing will up your chances for a new sidepiece.

Taking a break from dating, for some people, is an excellent idea! I considered myself to be a serial dater! Multiple dates during the week (take in mind i’m in college). I too just got tired of the whole scene. Dont get me wrong, I LOVED dating, but I really needed a break to balance myself and spend that time getting myself back in check (mentally and spiritually). I was just going and going and loosing sight of who I truly was. The ultimate goal of dating is to find someone and be in a relationship but no one will stick around too long if you arent balanced and ready for one. I went a whole semester from dating. Then one day, I met this guy. I never thought about dating him and didnt really think he was my type. He was a nice guys so we started a friendship and a month later we started dating and today we are still together and engaged!

Remember the “practice like you play” quote from last week. I think you agreed with it.

That’s all. I just think that you should use each day to improve. AS I stated yesterday, no one knows their “check out” time. So, putting off stuff for a tomorrow that is not promise just isn’t something that I agree with. Whether you are in a relationship or not.

The turnout depends on the subject. Lately, I’ve done more of the gardening stuff than the home repair stuff, and I notice more of a male-female crowd than the home improvement projects.

On Topic - I understand Raqi and Poppa’s points about being able to do YOU at the same time yo’re a WE. Although I’ve never been married, I would think that continuing to pursure individual interests and then possibly sharing them with your SO would only HELP the relationship and keep things from being stagnant. I don’t feel anyone should ever stop growing and learning - that’s a part of living. When you’re so clingy to each other that you are joined at the hip and only do the same things over & over - well that seems like either a dysfunctional relationship of imprisonment or just a recipe for boredom and disaster! And to Raqi’s point, yes I am enjoying martial arts and I would have eventually pursued it at some point because it’s something I’ve always wanted to do, but my SO just got me into it sooner, and its great to be doing it with him and the kids!

I think what Dan might be getting at (and I know you’ll correct me if I’m wrong) is that it’s nice to take advantage of the unlimited freedom you have while SINGLE. If you’re single, you can just pick up and go whenever, whereever and not have to consider someone else(unless you’ve got kids, but that’s a whole nother topic). No way would I be with someone that would not “allow” me to pursue something I want, take a class, etc.. But if I’m seeing someone I have to consider them in my schedule. For example, say I wanted to pursue a law degree. I could certainly do that and have an SO and even kids at the same time. With my SO’s support I could study while he gets dinner ready, helps the kids with homework, etc. If I’m single and unattached, I can pull all-nighters studying, eat whatever I put my hands on and put all my concentration on getting that degree. I don’t have to worry about fitting someone in so they don’t feel neglected. I know law school might be an extreme example as oppossed to a little sewing class at Michaels and requires a greater commitment, but I hope you get my drift.

2CPTG Just a bit of bullcrappery since I have a little time on my hands…

One of my co-workers was looking thru a magazine while we were sitting around in the conference room and she came across a La-z-boy recliner advertisement. I mentioned that I may get Mase one for his b-day or Christmas. She said if I am not going to have it in my bedroom I am asking to not see that much of him. I said I would put down stairs where he watches sports and the like most of the time.

One of the men made the comment jokingly but not really, that I would be setting him and myself up for me to be displeased with him all the time because planted in that chair is where he will be every waking moment while home. I will only have myself to blame when I can’t pry his behind out of that chair for anything.

Now just for the sake of B.S.arry, from a man’s p.o.v. is that true? Would I, as the wife, not have grounds to complain because I aided him in becoming slothful?

Sort of like telling your mate to get a hobby outside of the house and then complaining about them never being home.

Hello you all…

ARed

I just wonder why folks feel the need to compliment with disclaimers. I just think it’s childish. No biggie.

IMO, I see no difference in making snide remarks/comments back and forth (as children also display this type of behavior) without fully addressing to whomever the statement was initially intended…esp if no one is/was actually talking to you. And as far as disclaimers go: though we are ALL entitled to change our minds whenever we see fit to do so, but this definitely was not your argument yesterday. So is it to be understood, yesterday – childish . Today – all grown up .

I simply see disclaimers when it comes to generalizations as common sense, but like you said: “…you see common sense ain’t so common” huh?

One moment Betty Do-Right calls herself naďve and “needing all the help she can get”, but on the flipside, Carolyyyynnnn say “her roses don’t smell like boo-boo” and refers to herself as “one not so easily fooled” . Granted I do not keep a record of the “Blog Chronicles” on my personal hard drive, but two-steppin’ moments like these I can recall.

…taking notice how snide smuh-fuggas get there cards pulled and next thing you notice, they’re telling you to calm down (once again, two-steppin) talkin’ about “it ain’t that serious…so “why take it there”, just to “bring it back”… which one is it?…not seriously wanting a reply to that particular question nor am I all too concerned either, just simple observation. You can swallow that “Big Guh” pill w/ and 8oz of the H2O or “dry”…now just for you – Translation: “how ever you want to take it”. …just seeing more to the sentiment behind your previous post, so it’s not personal…please be advised not to take it as such.

Some may refer to it as a hit dog hollarin’…but then there’s folks that just don’t come w/ the half-@$$ed approach.

…we know, we know….shrugs, yawn, (insert verb) etc… (smh)

I haven’t read all the comments yet and maybe this has been answered, but ATL Guy - how can you tell a woman has low self-esteem? The reason I ask is that sometimes I find people define low self esteem with not being ‘front and center’ I personally am low-key and laid back, but not lacking in self-esteem, however, sometimes that is viewed as having low self-esteem. Thanks in advance for your response.

Slim I’ve never had a passion for any one thing but have always been interested in learning about many things. So mentally that’s where I am.

Still trying to catch up…sigh…

I’m like you, always been interested in more than one thing. I figure that I’ll just keep re-inventing myself every few years so that I can get at least a taste of everything I think I might like to do. Sometimes, though, I wish I had the kind of focus to just do one thing and be really great at it. I’m a natural multitasker, so I’m more prone to do many things and just be okay at them.

Changes are coming for me though, I can feel it brewing. Something’s getting ready to come to a head. I’m just left to wonder what it is…

    If you guys are really down like that, the effort made to make it special will matter more than whatever you do for him.

    For my 30th, Mrs. set up a party at Loca Luna. (The old 5th street location, now they are in Amsterdam Shopping area near Worthmore Jewelers. BTW…Shoemakers Wearhouse shut down.). They have a live latin band.

    I knew that “Ballroom Dancing” class would come in handy. Well, it did at the wedding reception as well.

If you give her groceries, she’ll give you a meal.If you give her a smile, she’ll give you her heart. She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her.

    Wine her. Dine her. Call her. Hold her. Surprise her. Compliment her. Smile at her. Listen to her. Laugh with her. Cry with her. Romance her. Encourage her. Believe in her. Pray with her. Pray for her. Cuddle with her. Shop with her. Give her jewelry. Buy her flowers. Hold her hand. Write love letters to her. Go to the ends of the earth and back again for her.

    HOW TO TREAT A MAN:

    Show up naked. Bring chicken wings. Don’t block the TV.

    Stay safe this weekend. You know what to do!!!!
