Karen, yes distance relationships are harder to maintain...because you really do have to mean it...
I am usually kind of ambivalent about relationships at the beginning then it seems as if it is working out and then I let my guard down and then they decide that it is not for them by wya of: disappearing or running off screaming into the night or saying we're going to hell or they are not over their exes...I mean, WTF? How hard is it??? Jinkies! You would think they had been through what WE have been through...I mean, if anyone would be in a position to NOT trust or run at the first sign of trouble, that would be us---the LBS...but apparently we understand about toughing it out.
I feel kind of bummed like you were...asking myself are there any EMOTIONALLY AVAILABLE men out there? I am glad to know that it is not just ME...that others have had this experience as well.
Perhaps there is a bigger plan with regards to another companion...In truth, I really have no idea.
Thanks for the compliment! I am glad you feel that way about me...seems like the immediate people around me think I am a bitchalina or something...
I believe good things are coming by way of a more exciting job...a new place...a new car, etc...but all those things are material...I want something special and unique...I suppose we all want that...
In the meantime, I will keep dreaming....
Hugs, Valentine
