Up-date
Maria's onside and seems to be willing to consider possibilities:
Lastly, thank you Blamb for the smack, I think I really needed it and I'll try not to be as negative as I seemed to be yesterday (blame it on PMS, hah!).
But she links to Kelly, who only further illustrates the second point I made in that previous post:
I just feel like everyone I've ever been involved with has managed to get on with their lives in a spectacularly short amount of time, but I cant even manage to find a date for coffee. Have I ever told you of my record? Every single man I've dated seriously has gone on to marry the very next person they've been with. Every. Single. One. I'm like the warm-up act.
Again, you can't assume that you know what's going on with other people. Those guys made the decisions they made but it doesn't necessarily mean it was the ideal scenario in their minds. I have a friend who dated a really cool woman about five years ago but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't make it work. I was talking to him the other day and he brought her up and muttered about what a missed opportunity it was. Five years later. Maybe the dudes Kelly mentions are thinking something similar. Maybe they're happy. Who knows, we're men, it's not like we actually have any idea what we're feeling or how to deal with it (just got an email making that point).
Another example: I was talking to a woman in my fitness class the other day and it turns out that we've been single for roughly the same amount of time following difficult break-ups, but I went on my first post-break up date much sooner than she did and her reaction was, "Wow, you get over things quickly." And I told her that I didn't start dating because I moved on, I started dating because I was desperate and lonely and stopped once I was feeling a bit more like myself. Thinking that everyone else has it made is a trap.
Meanwhile, Eva's still digging in her heels:
... I find it time consuming and draining.
btw, speaking of IM, you can add me to your list using my not-so-hotmail: craggerz@hotmail.com I sign in three times a year.
