**Time to settle down?
About 5 years ago, i ended a loooong relationship. What the hell it's April, let's say "they brought in a reliever." The last 2 years weren't all that great; and while i realize now it being over was the best thing for me, i was pretty fucked up for a while after it ended.
After getting my finances in order, taking care of some legal stuff, and generally getting my shit back together, now i think i'm ready to date again, but that's just the thing, i don't want to "date." I'm more of a one women kind of guy and i want one of those kinds of girls. The whole dating thing is such bullshit. Plus i'm the type of guy that you really have to get to know before i start to rub off on you. ie: ugly.
My friends seem to be quite concerned that i don't have a girlfriend, one even admitting that he had entertained thought that i might be gay. But when i see them and all the fights they have, and having to go shopping, and do all the boyfriend/girlfriend crap; it just doesn't give me much incentive to go out and find "a new boss." And i can't figure out if that's a good thing or a bad thing . . .
A sample conversation:
"Hey we're going to the bar on Tuesday after softball, you up for it?"
"No, Tuesday is date night. I have to spend some time with (insert name)."
I don't get it. Why would you schedule a date? Planning dates is one thing, but scheduling them?
OR
"Oh man i need to call (insert girlfriend's name), she's going to be pissed."
WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT! My mother lives 500 miles away and i love it that way!! I get to be drunk/stupid/lazy/smelly or
sober/awake/showered/responsible whenever the hell i want. The only person that tells me what to do is the guy that signs my paycheck, and i love it that way!!! Why don't these poor bastards understand that? Do they want me to be miserable too? Now i'm sure they don't. And i'm sure they're not miserable either. Just seems that way sometimes.
Any of you feel that way too? Any women out there that have the same problem? Just something i've been thinking about lately . . .
Disclaimer: If any of you bastards are reading this, no i wasn't talking about you.
