On dating

Aug 28, 2006 18:03

I feel the particular need to post on this topic. Many people I know are in bad relationships. Also, since I am single and my internet works, I have been (just out of curiousity) browsing searches on myspace etc. for how women "market" themselves. Also, I am meeting some new people at my new job ( Read more... )

This is a great entry, and I am with you 100% on everything you said. I'm also friends with all my exes. Cuz I "keepz it real".

I met the guy I'm currently dating because I remained myself at a place I hate (the club.. ew) and we get along very well. The comfort level has constantly been excellent.. and we enjoy eachother very much. I'm not setting goals or anything. I always hope that things work out well.. long term stuff, but I don't bank on it.

and btw... I've been super busy recently and have fallen behind on my LJ friends here... so when did you break it off with Katie?!? and why, if i may ask..?

Thanks for the "amen" kenduane August 30 2006, 06:22:09 UTC

Maybe I need to go to a club and still be myself. I keep going places that I do like, and be myself. Huh.

On the Katie thing, I'd rather not air it over LJ. I don't care, but I'm not sure if she would or not. It's a long story. You should get it from her, or call me. I'll try to log on to AIM more when I'm home. Suffice to say, we're doing fine as exes and I think she might be happier, too.

This was quite possibly the most honest thing I've ever heard come from a guy. If more people thought like you, then the world might just be a happier place to be. :) I agree with you when you say that when you set a standard for what you want (serious relationship vs dating) that you set yourself up to fail. And I am guilty of it. It's just hard sometimes because I've been in so many crappy relationships where I give my whole self and get nothing back for it. And so, I tell myself what I think I want, and it ends up being a hinderance on actually getting it. You're very smart, and very passionate. You make so much sense.

Hey thanks kenduane September 1 2006, 04:33:29 UTC

A lot of people make the mistake of claiming to have "given themselves wholly to someone" and not have gotten it back. I think that in most instances, they gave with fear. They gave something wanting something back, which means they didn't really give it at all. They loaned it. And when that fear of not getting it back became reality, they blamed the other ( ... )
