Aww damn

at least you two are still cool.

As I came home from a drive this evening, I realized that the guilt I've felt for certain situations has really been what's been keeping me out of the dating pool. I dated someone awesome (as a friend?), and he crushed me through his own dishonesty and perpetual negativity, and I crushed him back in my own ways (not literally). And, well, I still feel like I'm totally at fault for getting hurt, somewhere deep inside, when that's really not true. I can handle a 50% blame, which is fair, but not 100% of it.

Note to self: the hyperlogical are usually compensating for something. The hyperemotional are, too. The two are complementary, but don't always mesh well. Proceed with caution.

Ergo, I'm single because I want to be, because I feel unworthy. Yes, there is some internal housekeeping to attend to, but I propose that 2013 shall be another year of healing and new beginnings--the work that began in 2012. And, perhaps, I will emerge from this series of setbacks yet stronger. It certainly isn't going to kill me.

(A nice new job in a bigger city would be nice, too. If not--more time to write that shitty Harlequin I'm working on!)

I've been single for nearly three years--a combination of grief and personal development (thank my incredible therapist) has kept me without a SO. Sometimes it gets me down, but it's mostly a skin hunger, a longing for contact (goodness, but I do miss sex!!). I have an incredible group of friends and I treasure my alone time.

However, on NYE I'm going to a concert with a guy I've had a crush on for years who's just moved back to our hometown. He's been awfully affectionate since he came back, so maybe this time...?

Saoirse · 12-27-2012, 07:10 AM

I have a NYE date too! He's a friend that I met earlier this year, through one of my best friends. He's so funny and such a storyteller! He's the most positive and constantly upbeat person I've ever been around. I've been having some guy troubles lately, and he's been super supportive, never telling me what I should do, but letting me vent and figure things out on my own, which is way more helpful.

Last time we were alone together, he kissed me. It was very sweet and I very much enjoyed it, and I can't wait to spend NYE with him so he can kiss me at midnight!

An update with the girl in Kentucky. We recently told each other how we felt and the feelings are totally mutual! We are totally into each other.

I wouldn't say I'm not single per se, though. There's just a whole lot of flirting going on and talking on the phone for a long time. Oh, and we sent each other Christmas gifts through the mail. So what would that be? Courting?

Mishty · 12-27-2012, 09:20 AM

I'm gonna pack my bags and get ready for the move to the 2013 Singles Thread. We should have a thread warming party. I'll bring pie.

At this point, I wish I was single. Heh. Ya'll sound like you're gonna have a blast.

That Guy You Met Once · 12-28-2012, 12:21 PM

I think I want to be alone for a while.

There are just so few people who are worth my time.

Now, let me clarify: When most people talk about someone being "worth their time," they're talking about looks or perceived social value.

Not in this case. I'd just like someone reasonably attractive who has completed high school, isn't cripplingly insecure about their size, doesn't have a drinking/drug problem, has the time to respond to messages more than once a week, and actually wants to be with me instead of just shrugging and dealing with it.

I've only found one girl like this in 22 years, and we had to break up because of life situations. (We would've had to go long-distance for 4 years while she goes off to college.) I wish I could do something about it, but I don't think I can.

Oh man, have fun!! That sounds so exciting and, it seems, a needed change.
