Roxy's “solo” once again...

From ROXY

So folks... as most of you have been anticipating from my status updates and tweets... Tiger and I have officially split. It's sad. I'm sad. But, i'll be ok.

Nothing dramatic to talk about really. We were good together... until we weren't anymore. It was mutual, so there's no hard feelings... but it still sucks to have someone confirm that they don't want to be with you. He's got hurt in the past, and so have I (as you all know!) ... so i think that alone prevented us from opening up to one another. And also, i guess we just weren't meant to be!

It's just hard... how do you go from one relationship to the next... open up and just keep getting hurt...? No wonder us girls become so independent and self-reliant. We surround ourselves with the best girlfriends in the world so that you always have a soft, comforting, great-smelling cushion to fall back on ;) (yes chicas, you're my sexy cushions!)

I guess... one day, with the right guy, “love” WON'T bite you in the ass. But, so far, I've never made it that far... I have a few scars, and they will continue to heal as i move on.

Dating again will happen, just not sure with whom! It's so easy to get wrapped up in a new relationship, and be a hermit with the cold weather. I think i'll focus on seeing my friends and family and not worry about the whole dating thing right now.

Spring's will be on it's way soon anyway, right?! ;)

Stay tuned girls, sounds like 2010 will be a whole new chapter for Roxy! xo

Roxy's New Year's Resolution

From ROXY

Hmmm i've been thinking about this one for a few weeks now...
What do i REALLY want to focus on in this New Year? ...finding my Mr.Right... workout to get my body healthier... less stress... eat better... spend less... pay off debts... save for all those wonderful things i want and places i want to go... spend more time with the ones i love... drink less (and don't make a fool of myself at Office Xmas Parties!!!)...

So... when it comes down to it, i just want to improve on ME. Improve myself in many facets of life. There's not ONE thing i need or want more than all the others.

So, can my New Year's Resolution simple be : BE A BETTER ME.?

I think i'll have less chance of failing that way too. Some things are bound to work, and some things will take more time (like the whole no drinking thing...i mean, who are we kidding here?).

I think overall this past year was SO much fun! I did alot alot of things, and i've been busy almost every second of the year. Literally. You can ask my colleagues! I mean, after all, i was getting over a breakup for part of the year. Everyone's allowed some fun, right? But, with dwindling amounts in my bank account, i think the responsible Roxy needs to come out to play for a little while. So, maybe instead of going out for drinks with my bestest, i should stay at home and make her a martini instead. You meet a lot less guys that way... but cmon' it's -28 degrees outside anyway. How many guys are going to find you attractive with an Eskimo jacket and woolly toque on anyway?? The guy i'm seeing (who you all know as : Tiger) thinks i look like a Rastafarian with one of my winter toques on... that can't be good! but, i don't care, it's cold!

So, all this to say that i think i need to take a little time to chill and be a better me this year. Less frivolous spending, more quality time with family and friends, healthier eating, and yes, i'll try to cut-down on the drinking! I think that's the best New Year's Resolution i can make for myself :)

On that note: HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
Be responsible at all your parties tonight, i know i will ;)
Let 2010 be your year of love, sex and magic!! hehe

Roxy's Top 10 Dating Tips : Tip #2

Be interested in learning more about HIM and his likes/dislikes, as weird as they might be. You need to know as much about him as you can if you think you might want to see for date #2! You might find that his strange interests are what you like most about him. Or maybe you'll find out that he's a wack-job and you definitely don't want to see him again! lol

So, ask questions, don't be shy :: you might find that you have more in common than you initially thought!

For example, Tiger and I started really asking each other random questions on our first few dates and we found out weird things we had in common :: we share the same favorite cereal (which you can only get in the U.K!), we have had the same amount and type of dental surgeries (which are rare), and the only tea he has in his kitchen cabinet is my favorite English tea (bought in England, and he knows how to make it the proper English way). Random facts for most people, but kept making me think: where did this guy come from?! (in a good way. lol)

Insignificant little facts can lead to stronger connections between people.

KISSING! it does the body good!

The next time you're wondering if you should pucker up for the end-of-the-night kiss with a potential 2nd date, think of this article!
Go for it! Be good to your body!!! hehehehe

Unless getting close to his face makes you want to hurl... then maybe... just kiss the next cute guy you see! lol
And P.S. beware of H1N1!!!!

kisses! hmmmm where's Tiger? can't wait til i'm back in Mtl! Need some kisses!

OMG...he read my blog!

Ok so the scariest thing happened to me. The guy i'm seeing. The guy i like. Tiger. He read my blog!

So, not only did he read about my weird crazy dating stories and see the slightly neurotic side of me, but he also read about how much i liked him when i met him at Halloween, AND how i prepped songs for our supper date at my place!! Oh boy. Embarrassing.

And I honestly thought he might just walk away.
But he didn't.

And yes. He's probably reading this right now. hi sexy ;)

So... things are going well. Date #who-knows-what is coming up soon. He's still just as awesome, actually more awesome, than i even thought he was going to be.

I'm still trying to figure out:

#1 — why he's still single, and
#2 — what's his big bad secret ;)

I'll let you know if i find out anything (or P.S. tiger u can comment on this blog post Anonymously and keep my lovely readers informed. hehe)
