Is this a bad time?

I think many failed romances are a result of bad timing. You can appear to be very compatible and show great potential, but if the timing is wrong, it all falls apart. We don’t always realize that it is the wrong time, though. I believe we get caught up in attraction and end up realizing it way too late that it’s the right person, wrong time.

This is especially true when someone is nursing a heartbreak, mourning the end of a long relationship or marriage. I think people need to just have fun and let dating be about the “palate cleansers” to clear the lingering bad taste you may have from the ex. Even when we feel ready, it’s not until things get hot and heavy with the rebound relationship that we can see how important timing is.

Have you ever met someone really great at a really bad time in your life? How did you handle it?

I think if we were more honest with people we date about where we are – emotionally, it could save a lot of heartache. When you let folks know what head space you are in – you would be surprised at how understanding some people can be. Many of us have been there and know that it takes time to be in the right place to start something new.

How do figure out if it is a bad time to start a serious relationship? How do you let the person you just met know that? Is it fair to ask them to wait until the timing is better for you?

Never heard of a bad time to start anything. People are always great in the beginning…Lies are the biggest obstacle in any relationship, if you start out that way it will not end well.
Don’t mix up someone being great with someone being nice those are two different things, because if they were that great ==wouldn’t they still be by your side?!
Everyone walks into your life I believe for a reason, some stay some don’t , try to learn from it so you will not repeat those same mistakes again.

It would be nice to let the other person know if you are just dating casually and not looking for anything. Hopefully in the first date or two. Either he/she will be cool or #ain’t got time for dat.
And No its not fair to ask them to wait. That would be selfish.

Happy Hump Day! I’ve met some really great guys and the thought always ran across my mind saying great guy but bad timing. It comes with the territory of dating. There was this one guy, he possessed all the trimings of what I was looking for, he had a great sense of humor, empathic, nice personality, polite, he was a very high calibre type of man but, I was not in the place where I would have been good for him. My mind was on what I was dealing with at the time and going forward with him would have been a waste of his time. Timing is everything.

Looks like we’re back to a communication issue. Here’s how I see it. If you are a good communicator, you’ve probably married to a wonderful person right now. If not, you’re probably 30+, single and read blogs about timing in a relationship.

“How do you figure out if it is a bad time to start a serious relationship?” As an adult, if you haven’t figured out how to do this by now you never will.

“How do you let the person you just met know that?” Tell him or her. In know that sounds complicated, but I promise you it works.

“Is it fair to tell ask them to wait until the timing is ready for you?” Not if you have any self-respect.

I’ve used the term “bad timing” myself in the past, as I can only recall one time in my life that I’d consider such….mmm mmm mmm But to think about it, who is meant for you is yours. No such thing as bad timing. You get to have one person, not one and a possibility….lol I’m sure most have met someone where there was either magnetic attraction (can I use that) or crazy electricity…I know I have….but, the person or me was already with someone. Now, having said that, I think I or you or them or he or she probably talked or interacted a little too long to even know that (they’re booed). Y’all get what I’m saying? I think that’s why the can’t have your cake and eat it too saying comes into play. They’re booed or married and I or you or them or he or she is already taken or spoken for. If (and I use that lightly) there is a such thing as bad timing I would say it’s due to not finding a way to come together yet each person is open and available. And that brings me back to saying (of course just my humble opinion), no such thing as bad timing because if you’re not “booed”, then if either you want it bad enough you will make it happen. Plenty of folks eventually come together or find a way.

Okay, that was a bunch of rambling….lol I think I believe what I just wrote….I think :)

I was looking for an old email from my manager for a link on getting a task done and did a search on my entire Outlook, and lookie lookie what I found. Emails from someone way back when. I started reading through some of them and came across the word “bama”…..lolololol Guess it’s not just Robert huh?

Alright, I gotta get to work. I’ll stick my head back in later.

good morning. yes celisea, you did get your ramble on but if it’s any consolation I understood exactly what you were saying or attempting to say. it is what it is.

some would make the argument that there is no bad timing while others would make the argument that there is no good timing. it’s all perspective. some times you have to do just step up and do something and try to make it work. maybe if you sit around waiting for the perfect timing you’ll never have/accomplish anything. flip side, if you are always jumping into things without giving them any thought or preparation you’ll never have/accomplish anything.

It boils down to communication, more so the non-verbal form. If one is really astute, one can quickly determine their lane. Booty call, FWB, lunch partners only, etc. It’s only bad timing if you linger.

Just like being the 1000th shopper at a store and you win the grand prize; I believe timing is everything when it comes to relationships, especially regarding men and marriage. I can remember dating three women that would’ve made great wives. They were beautiful, we had great chemistry, they looked good on paper and I loved them. However, I didn’t want to get married at the time. Years later, after participating in several of my friends weddings, and growing tired of bachelorhood, I was ready. I had no prospects in sight. I decided the next chick I fell in love with I will marry. I met wifey, fell in love and we have been happily married for well over a decade. Over the years, I have run into those three great women that I mentioned earlier. Not surprisingly, the next dude they got with after our thing ended wifed them up. One however, was still available. She asked me why I didn’t search for her when I was ready. I told her “ Baby, our timing was off.”

dushawn – thanks for confirming what I always say – men can get married pretty much anytime they decide to. even a no good, worthless, low level brother can find a chick to “I do” him.

ex – I don’t think having an agenda translates to thirsty. I think having an agenda translates to knowing what you want, determining what steps are necessary to get what you want and being willing to do what it takes. nothing wrong with having an agenda. now I do admit some folks can be ruthless in implementing their agendas but that’s a different topic altogether.

@Disco..i beg to differ…

Dating with Thant kind of Agenda..is for “late in the game” folks..the ones who have always wanted to get married,hasnt happened and now thinkg the clock is ticking away..those folks..YES..im ALL for the AGENDA coz look here…unless it happens fast..then u know the attraction factor etc is fading and their chances dimnish quick….

Everybody else..just date a dude u think u vibe with, has got the basics u look for,aint crazy,holds down a j o b,dont scavenge u for money..and Keep it Moving…..U cannot hide a Lamp under a bushel(cover) the good book, i think says..cant remember the Verse(Celisea?) so if dudes see a viable chic to wife,they will wife. NO need for u to be hollering so as to be made a STARTER….

Now if u aint STARTER Lebron/Kobe material….thats when an AGENDA is called for maybe…..but still..if u young..no need to panic……panic breeds panic and confusion…and dudes smel a Thirsty chic quick.. and u know, Thirsty chics give it up quick then go bongas when dudes bench them…

ex – I don’t even think it’s an age issue. there are many young chicks who know they want to be married young. for instance the ones who go to college to get their “M.R.S.”. these chicks date with an agenda and it has nothing to do with their biological clocks. it’s all about knowing what they want and taking the steps to make it happen. all I’m saying to you is agenda doesn’t translate to thirsty. NOW maybe a man who isn’t trying to be party to said agenda will call it thirsty because he feels like he wants to play “victim” and claim some trick is trying to trap him or hem him up.

Disco- “even a no good, worthless, low level brother can find a chick to “I do” him” That’s because every woman wants to be a wife at some point. I have always found it interesting how men and women have such a different perspective on marriage. For females, it’s a new beginning. For guys, it’s the end. When a chick tells her friends of her pending nuptials, her girlfriends are so happy and excited for her. They say things like: “Congratulations girl!!!” When a dude tells his friends, it’s like a death in the family. The mood is somber and they say things like: “Dayum dog, you sure you want to do this?”

Ex who in their right mind would want to date for the fun of it? Why put energy in getting to know someone just for the heck of it? wounded hearts don’t make for a happy person.

Leggs – I’m agreeing as well, with you 10:23. These general statements are men that THINK they know all women. For the most part in areas, all women are the same but there are some places that set us apart.

And contrary to what SOME may think, some of us don’t wallow over things that could have been done different (i.e. kids sans marriage, etc), but are proud of making strides and overcoming. Who’s got time to stuck like chuck? I for one can’t hardly remember “stuff” from way back when (I guess y’all say y’all beg to differ according to all my long posts…lol). My point is you learn and grow and adapt to life. Because I didn’t do it the way Becky did (well not “Becky”), does not mean I didn’t something wrong or didn’t get it right. Contrary to what many may think, no person in their right mind (well some might), will spend years pining and moaning over coulda woulda shoulda. I am one that’s happy happy happy with my station in life and aside from enjoying, am making no plans to switch things up. Now, if that’s not the norm or don’t sound on the up and up, well just too dang bad then….lololol

As a single Man I am a great “time manager”. Just like Celisea said “I’m sure most have met someone where there was either magnetic attraction (can I use that) or crazy electricity”….I have too.

When I was younger I would have a dating schedule to avoid good or bad timing issues (breakfest, lunch, dinner, midnite snack).

Guys, how many times have you had to tell someone to leave because they were overstaying their welcome?

Guys, how many times have you had someone to come over too early?

Guys, how many times have you had to fake a phone call to excuse yourself and leave for another date?

Guys, how many times do you have your normal routine schedule disrupted because someone does not want to leave, is to early and/or just does not want to go home?

Guys, how are you managing your “timing issues” with women?

I get it. now when I say agenda I mean nothing more than having a defined notion of what you want and a list of tasks to help achieve what you want. quite frankly I prefer that method rather than the method of “kissing frogs” and hoping one of them turns into a prince.

“….had to tell someone to leave because they were overstaying their welcome?”….. I remember this one chick, I used to call her “Legs” (no disrespect to the one on here). Man, she had some gorgeous legs, and in bed she was a champ! She would cross those pretty long legs Indian style over her breast while lying on her back with her ankles crossed. Whew!.. My boxers gettin tight in the front just thinking about her. Anyway I digress; it was a hurricane threatening to hit south Florida. She lived in a high rise, I had a house. She asked if she and her two little boys could ride out the storm at my spot. I agreed, they came thru, the storm went around us. About three days had passed, the storm been gone. She shows no sign of leaving. Her little boys tearing my house up, my classic cd’s all out the case on the floor, they running back and forth everywhere, driving me crazy. I would leave and hang out for hours not wanting to return to my own sh&*t. I dropped as many hints as I could with no success. Finally, I just said it’s time for you to leave. After that, my visits became less frequent and when she started asking me for bread…it was a wrap.

Morning All!!

I have been in some “bad timing” situations and they are heartbreaking. What I would call bad timing is meeting someone a few months before they are getting ready to move to California or to Paris France, or shipping off to take that contract postition in Saudi Arabia. You have gone out and gotten to know each other enough that you hit it off and the chemistry is off the chain and this is a great person. But not enough to be making plans to get engaged and move with this person. So you try the long distance thing, but of course that does not work. That’s what I call bad timing, not the agenda stuff.

This “agenda” stuff has been coming up alot lately from you blog dudes. Some of you really have a problem with some women that know what they want and don’t want to waste their time “just seeing how it goes” for months and years on end and not buying your BS!!! LOL!!

That text is laden with mixed signals. See that “feeling some kinda way” needs to be voiced so you can hear the inflections in her tone to pick up on the true meaning. Is her company staying with her? Is her company someone she used to sleep with, still sleeping with, but wants you?

Leggs – Leviticus 15 (read the entire chapter), Leviticus 18:19. There are other places, but those two chapters are what I recalled. Also, Rachel (Jacob’s) wife stole Laban’s image and when he went chasing after Jacob (cause he just needed a reason), he said someone stole his image. Jacob, not knowing Rachel had stolen, said if you can find it, the person will be punished. Well, when he came to her tent to search for it (cause he was searching everybody), she told him she was on her period, so he wouldn’t make her get up. She was sitting on it.

Courtside yes dates should be an interview and you should but some thought behind why you are spending x amount of time and money with said person other than just because. I agree you should have fun while dating but not dating just for the fun of it. Most people invest emotions and bonds are made quickly for some so taking those two things into conderation should be the kept in mind. I don’t know about most people but as for me I date for a reason not because a man asks me out. Call me old fashion but that’s how I date.

I picked up some seafood, and cooked some lobster tails, mussels, and a cajun pasta dish, with a salad and dessert. The kids turned our dining room into a 5 star restaurant. We all dressed up and had a candle light dinner. My son was our waiter and my girls played their violins softly for ambiance while we ate. Wifey really enjoyed it.

dushawn –I literally just had to stifle a giggle. lol. anyway, I agree with you. I am a mouthpiece. this is why I try to avoid men that will make me want to talk about them like that. my self control is limited sometimes. this is why I say I’m checking for the man that will say “disco hush” and instead of verbally assaulting him I will actually just pull back and hush.

sassy – thanks for your support.

Yep..been there and working on that. Sometimes it’s just too easy to go the hell off on a dude…too easy and that’s not a good thing when they give you ALL types of fodder and ammo to use. I’m a work in progress…

You’re welcome disco…we got to stick together in this thang..
