Will the real Slim Shady please stand up?
...Oh, I guess that's my cue.
Hello! Yes, I'm alive (I'm starting to see I say that a lot now, Lol). Let's delve!
So, I've got a friend who basically asked I treat him the way I treat my beloved Small Townies interestingly enough, and that I write a post which gives my feedback and input on his situation. Since he's sorta a train wreck when dealing with relationships, he doesn't have to fear being the proverbial outsider here. Ha.
I met him in September ... But it's one of those "I've known you my whole life" things. So, I think I've got a great grasp on his situation. Not that it's that complex, plus I've witnessed it before I met him, and I'm quite certain I will again in the future.
Well, he's single, and he hates it. Yup! This bullshit again. Anywho, he's got a 'round the clock yearning for the affection and tenderness one receives from their significant other. And since he's not havin' all that much luck in the dating pond, he's going a bit crazy...
Here's where I weigh in ... For starters, there's NOTHING wrong with being single!!! Secondly, a modern relationship isn't all it's cracked up to be. There's an endless array of bullshitters + game players out there who'll disguise themselves and take advantage of you in any number of ways. Nowadays, the usual result of putting yourself out there isn't only still being alone, but upset too. Who remembers the times where being a single man meant that you were available, sexy, and taking time to figure out what you're looking for?
Finding someone worthwhile, and solidifying a relationship doesn't, and it won't happen overnight. Plus, I've observed that it's something you don't find when you drive yourself crazy trailing after it ... It's a pleasant surprise, a thing you'll stumble upon when you least expect it.
As for you, Dontel (I don't protect the guilty, Lol), embrace singledom! That's the bottom line. And for those like him, those rules apply for you, too ... Also, I do suggest you invest in quality you time.
*Patiently waits for minds to exit the gutter*

Thoroughly explore yourself ...

... 'Cause for those in those situations, there's a completely different relationship which needs their attention: The relationship they've got with themselves. Something's a bit off there. Sometimes, in a world where partnering up is all one wants to do, there's nothing better than being out of a relationship. You're completely at liberty to do whatever pleases you, and you've acquired more time to spend with the soul-mates you have already found: Your best friends.
