Still walking

I spoke to L the other night and she said something that made me pause.

"I'm always the fling, never the girlfriend."

Her comment was a general comment, not directed at me, but it reminded me about things from both my long and recent pasts that were directed at me.

About eight years ago, I briefly dated this beautiful and wealthy trust fund baby. One day she said, "Guys always treat me like the side dish. I want to be the main course. You're not going to do that to me, are you?"

For reasons that still escape me now, I told her I didn't know. After some crying and choice words from her, I found myself taking a 2AM walk home. Not the first, not the last.

I also saw BJE again recently. She and I both want something, I suppose, and we get along so well but...

Don't you find that the most hateful words come after the word but?

For the last four women that loved me before BJE, my but was my insomnia - and the subsequent irritability, moodiness, arguing and general insanity.

For both BJE and me it's the choices we've made in life but BJE's also concerned by the choices I might make in life.

Returning to L and her comment, L asked, "What does that say about me?"

Once again, I didn't know and once again, I thought about it on a 2AM walk home.

What does that say about me?

I think you're always the fling in the beginning. It's scary to get emotionally involved with someone and easy to get physically involved. I think we hold back the emotional part of ourselves until we're fairly sure that we aren't going to spend the evening in bed listening to John Mayer and crying. Being cautious only says you're afraid. And everybody is afraid of something. Afraid we're going to give more than we get. Or get more than we want.

P.S. I love the way you reference yourself in your entries. It reminds me of the Beastie Boys sampling themselves for their later albums.

hahaha - Thanx, I try to entertain.

Actually, I'm going to add you to keep up with life where you are; hope that's ok.

I like the new haircut.

Of course that's okay! I write so you can read. And thanks about the hair. That was a huge change for me.
