Tired of Being Single

Quote From: kwindshawn

A lot of people might disagree, but I think going about it that way is much better as long as both people are ok with it and you're careful.  What a lot of people seem to forget is in the genus pool, we are still animals, and when it gets down to it, we do the same things regular animals do.  It took me a long time to realize that, but sometimes all these rules and standards seem a little funny when we rank with the rest of the 4 leggeds.

 

I went to a wedding last night-we had a ball.  They did the usual dances and stuff-well, it came time to do the bouquet and under much durress, I went up there.  I did my best to stand behind someone taller (I am 5'2") and I hid.  Well, I left my hands down and tried to stay invisible.  My friend threw it, the damn thing hit me square in the head, and fell in my arms.  I am never gonna live that down!!  Made me stop and think a bit, but I won't spend much time hoping for that.  Of everyone there, why me?????

And on top of everything else,  my cousin told me later when she was sitting with her husband, she knew it was gonna come to me AARGH!

 Are you kidding me, yeah alot of people would disagree that it's better to just have one night stands than to have a relationship.  Having sex with a girl you just meet because you are lonely and desperate isn't very respectable in my book, especially when that person acts like he has a higher standard and says things like, "No lies there, as soon as they are done having all their babies and having irresponsible, unprotected,  unmarried sex with all the guys they think they like."  Here is a questions for you adam, did you use protection, how long did you know her, how many people had she been with, were you missing in money from your wallet, what makes you think she was any different than the rest of the girls you talked down on,  other than  the fact that she was interested in you?  I don't want to hear your answer, its more for you to ask yourself because you're the only one that will know.  I knew you were the type that would talk all that crap and than jump on the first chance you could find.  I mean, you're only human, and I understand why you did it.  I can't really blame you, it gets pretty hard being alone all the time.  But don't make this a habit.  You need a girlfriend to fill the void in your heart, random play just won't do the trick.

I did like it-I'm ashamed to admit.  Hope is a dangerous thing to have-I did walk away with a little bit though.  I am being really careful in thinking about it or anything else-don't want to get too hopeful.  We will find out what happens-i do hope this is a turn of events-I am a happy person in general-just this summer it has been so stressful and overwhelming that I lost that.  I am ready to be my old self again and I hope I am truly turning a corner here.  I do hope god sends me a nice one-when I can find my old self again, then I can change my emote and truly mean it...

You made some good points there- Turk-  I was waiting for some one to say something-I agree with  most of what you said-  LMAO-

 

Some people do one night stands because they think it is 'easier' than having a REALLY GOOD ( or better yet- GREAT relationship) because it is hard work and it invloves two people-As you know-relationships are not easy-  and with so many negative messages out there-  It IS very hard out there!!   

 

I have noticed more and more that people just want to have fun-no problems no muss nos fuss-  Sadly-that is happening more and more-    There are alot of unhappy people out there-but they are not willing to do the work to have a mutually loving and respectful relationship-    I hear people saying  'life is too short'' do you you want to do and have fun'  There are consequences to ALL and EVERY action  you take- 

 

Any way- I could go  on with each good point you made-BUT I AM TRYING TO GET USED TO THIS NEW SYSTEM THEY GOT HERE-A  gray  background as you are trying to type-You noticed?

 

Turk-I am glad you said something to adam-I can't believe you said what I would say!  WOW!  Like ESP or something!!

 

One night stands or 'conquers' or ' conquests' is a bad habit to get into-  But alot of people are doing that sadly-    Thiis is and can be and will be -a 'you play with fire you will get burned' game-I feel this applies to both men and women-

 

I know what lonliness feels like-Oh boy do I-I feel that right now-But the only  person that can fill that void you were talking about-I had to learn the HARD way-is you-  No one else can do that-   I heard some one say (on Oprah)  -that  a good healthy relationship COMPLIMENTS  ( enhances as well) your life-not COMPLETES it--

 

Just every one stay safe out there-

Good  post , Turk-Hope you did not mind me posting to you-

whoa lay off the hateraid guy

Ok allow me to go more into more depth. Itwas not really a one night stand one of the guys Iplayed ball with introduced me to her. That was three days before anything serious happenned, and I used to willing to go the distance but no one else is. I am military and it is much harder in ht enavy to havea relationship divorce rate is over 80% and climbing. So I had lust for her and it was safe and legal. Have you ver been in the military or prison because the navy resembles it a lot. So at leasst I didnt rape her or find some prostitute or soemthing my friend and I talked and he hooked me up with a decent girl

As far as respect for Destiny or myself , I ma not really proud of stooping to that level, but you know what they say if you cnt beat them join them. Destiny still has my respect she is not some tramp. She is very smart and has a good head on her shoulders. It was just lust temptation nothing wrong with being human beings. I have relized that now. If I was nt such an old fashoined stubborn good goody I might have had a better past with more friends and stuff. But, I got hurt and then hated women and had trust issues so on. Yes I would love to still be with her in a relationship but it could still happen. I did treat her with respect and courtesy like I was tought . I dint leave her , or anything, she just said she was busy and I was leaving soon and never called back. I think she was hurt a little but knew it was the best for both of us.She was different from other girls in most ways, no b/s no games didnt lie, didnt  lead me on we had a lot in common so it made great converstaion . But I said to myself it will just cause more pain and confusion and problems to try and go after her . I mean I did try but I didnt want to upset her.
