This fuckin' dry spell with the women is seriously going to either kill me or drive me nuts. I've met exactly ONE woman since my ex took off and as it turns out she played the hateful "just friends" card. The really shitty part for me is the fact that I see her every fucking day. The only saving grace is the fact that she is a phenomenally cool chick and I genuinely enjoy hanging out with her. What I can't deal with is having to listen to her talk about looking for "hot" guys or even worse knowing that she's hooking up tonight with a new guy that she's interested in. This I can't deal with, I have far too many painful memories of my ex doing exactly the same thing to me.
I wish there were some way of letting her know that in these situations it feels like someone is ramming a knife into my chest. I hate having to make lame excuses to leave.
I've found there are three kinds of people. Those that enjoy being single and alone. Those that enjoy being single and engaging in casual sex and brief relationships, and finally those that hate the other two and need to be in a committed relationship.
I find myself in the third category. I hate being alone. There is no "thrill of the hunt" for me. I'm happiest when I've gotten past all of the getting to know you bullshit and realize that I want to be with the object of my attraction. Unfortunately this takes time and most often puts me in the unenviable position of having missed the boat and winding up as a "friend".
Before you offer any suggestions, let me tell you I've done the e-harmony thing (a complete and total waste of fucking time and energy), and I can't be the arrogant asshole that gets the chicks. I am who I am and I just have to live with the fact that I'm likely gonna be single until I die. Not a happy prospect, but at this point I need to be a realist and stop deluding myself.
The upside.
At least there's porn.
