It's a Brave New World... pity I'm neither brave nor new.

I just found out that that thing I wrote ages ago about phases of blogging was recced on metafandom. Huh.

So seriously, where did relationship rules come from? I mean, I have a problem imagining cavemen sitting around and saying, one to the other in low tones, "But if I hit her over the head with my club that way, maybe she'll think I want babies. Really I ( Read more... )

my flist is made of awesome, brain steam smells funny, rl

I don't think it's ageing, I think it's probably impatience and not wanting to put up with immature young guys!!!

Haha, yeah probably. I suppose that's what you get for dating nineteen year olds. Meh.

Yeah, one of my friends who's my age (21) constantly insists on dating younger guys, and then complains about how immature they are. I think til your late 20's, always date someone older!!!

See, all of that is one of the many things that puts me off relationships altogether. Things are much easier when people are direct with each other, but apparently that's impossible early in a relationship, lol.

Is this an early sign of aging? First your tolerance for unanswerable questions grinds away, then your hip joints follow. Idealism to cynicism, ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

*Grins*

Speaking as one of the aged, I don't think so. Uncertainity is always horrible and the early stages of a relationship are the point at which you're most vulnerable, especially if you really like the other person. I can understand how you feel.

Nah, I don't think it's aging. Maybe sanety? Dunno.

I, personal, am in two minds about this uncertainty - at one point I hate it, but, at the same time, I like it - it's exciting.
But I also think that if this uncertainty isn't there, then falling/being in love have lost something.

Mmm, dunno. I have to admit I like knowing where I stand in the relastionship a lot too. But, on the other side, if I hadn't gone through the uncertainty, I probably wouldn't have liked knowing where I stand as much as I do.

*shrug* Does this make sense? Eh. Thingy. But, anyway, not aging. Sanety? Maybe you're, you know, tired of the uncertainty? Dunno.

Haha, yeah true. Once you're actually somewhere, the uncertainty does seem like a good trade. It's just when you're actually dealing with it that it's a total pain in the arse!

20! I remember 20. Just have fun, don't worry about it. Don't rush into anything and have a good time.

I hated the uncertainty of every new relationship. Never saw the fascination others saw in those horrible gut wrenching early dates. But the one thing I realise now is that you can't really control the way it goes. If it is real it is real so go out have fun, take him dancing , bowling, stargazing, to a show to a museum see the world. But there is nothing gained from worrying about whether he is the one or not. When he is the universe will take care of it
