The realities behind my lack of romantic entanglement. Posted here on the web for any surfer to see. I figure, tons of other ppl spill their guts here, why can't I? What I have to say is not embarrassing or private. So, the facts.
1. I firmly believe that a relationship begins in friendship.
2. I have yet to make a guy friend that I want to go out with.
3. I'm not really sure how I'd know anyway.
4. I just can't make the first move. And I seem to miss other ppl's, which doesn't really help matters much.
5. I find I need to be comfortable with most of the rest of my life before I'm willing to put myself on the relationship market. It just seems like you've got a 75% to 80% chance of getting hurt, and I need for that relationship not to be the one that makes or breaks my entire life's contentment.
6. I just don't know how. How to approach such a thing, how to enter it, how to behave within it. For all the stories and movies and books I know, for all the people I've watched go through these things, I'm still pretty clueless.
So there. The truth. I doubt more than 5 people will see it. I doubt that they will be people who would attempt to harm me with this information.
But would the world PLEASE stop bugging me about it? Contrary to popular belief, a romantic relationship IS NOT the answer to all of life's problems.
Sheesh.
over 'n out.
E.O.
