Giving and getting dating advice
JF1: Welp, I just ended things with the guy I’m seeing too. Heartbroken and disappointed again.
I think because I’m recently single, people are reaching out to me (a) to check in on me and (b) to relate their own dating issues.
A girl from my past – she’s been in the blog before but I’m renaming her JF1 – just dropped me a line because almost exactly what happened to me with my last major girlfriend before Alison, happened to her. And she handled it the same way I did – better, even.
Dunno how much I can tell you, since it’s not my story to tell. I will say that little impresses me more than true bravery.
Cause she decided she’d rather be alone than be anyone’s second choice – and she’s a tall drink of water, so that guy’s an idiot.
There’s something about someone that stands up and is honest and brave, come what may.
It’s actually why I fell so hard for Alison; you get points in life for being brave. Alison was the bravest person I’ve ever met. Still is.
Just like everything valuable, bravery’s valuable cause it’s rare and difficult to find.
Her: Yeah. I (packed my stuff), left him a note, and left.
Other friends are asking me for advice about their love life.
Find this amusing cause I’m great at having people enter my Venn Diagram. Having them stay is a wholly different matter.
Him: Hey, one last question, since I have you.
Me: Sure, hit me.
Him: What do you think about someone who’s life’s motto is: “A lie is truth, until it is uncovered and labeled as a lie.” Thoughts?
Me: (thinking, slowly) I think that when someone tells you what they’re all about, you should believe them. Even more if they show you…
Him: Smart. Super smart.
Me: I’m not just a pretty face, man.
Him: Oh, I’ve known that since the moment we made eye contact.
Me: Thanks…wait…(you heard I said “just” right)?
Got more time to write so I’ll write more later/tonight/soon.

Hey Logan – I hope things are going well. It sounds like it’s going much better even if there’s so much still in flux. It feels like it’s been a while since I dropped by so I figured I’d say hi, and that you still cross my mind from time to time. I recently had a dream we met IRL,
Well, I’m just super busy with the kid and work and I’m trying to focus on that. How have you been? Are you on FB? I actually dropped a line to a really old friend from the LJ days, asking how she’s been.
Ha, I invade everyone’s minds, sooner or later.
