Reflections

Maybe I have to accept that sometimes in life there will be periods of a lot of man activity, and periods of dryness. Sometimes I will be into a guy, sometimes I will like more than one, and sometimes I will like none. Having discussed the breakup with my ex in detail with my friend, I came to the conclusion that I am so much better off out of that - that I changed and became a different person, someone I didn't like. Now I can look myself in the mirror. I may not like what I see all the time, but it's better than it was.

  1. Dear Phoenix,

    Since hitting the other side of a significant age bracket I have been plagued by a question. I'd really like to know your thoughts.

    Choosing to settle down: How likely are we to settle down with a guy because he happens to be there when we're thinking about settling down. Is it possible to end up with the wrong guy because the two of you collided at the right place, right time?

    I don't mean wholly a wholly unsuitable type, because something must have clicked for the two of you to pursue the chase of getting to know each other but.... how do you know, whether you're making a premature decision.. or.. actually everything is good, and they are good for you, and everything feeling so easy (maybe too easy) is just a sign that you'll be happy for a long time to come? catch my drift?

    I suppose what I'm saying, is how do you know if it's a case of Mr "right time, right place, awesome guy, but are your differences will become deal breakers.. you get on great now but.. you're settling because you want to settle and he's a 9.95/10" as opposed to Mr" actually you never realise what you were missing til you meet him.. he completes you in so many ways you're yet to discover, maybe it's not how u imagined... but actually going back a few yrs to when I was a teenager and before I became bitter, and got a smart mouth, the sort of person I dreamed of settling with.. and actually he exceeds the 9.9 out of 10 and in truth, nobody exists beyond 9.95 out of 10"

    Should you hang on for that 0.049999999999...? does it exist? or by condemning yourself to the search are you choosing to wallow in your own unhappiness as opposed to embracing differences and building a life with someone who keeps you on your toes? (could 9.95 actually equal too close for comfort?) god I'm confused...
