common dialog:
her: why is it that everytime i like a guy, they never seem to notice me?
me: if i knew the answer, i wouldn't be single right now. i have a similar problem. but in my case, they see me, just not the real ME. just some preconceived notion of who ME is and as soon as they realize i'm not who they hoped i was, they forget about me.
her: fuck them. guys have no brains.
me: well i've met plenty of decent guys. i think the problem isn't them. the problem is that even if we see something good in someone, we push that aside in favor of those preconceived notions that are almost always wrong. we do that because it's easy. easy to just have those false ideas of a person and keep them instead of truly getting to know and understand that person and form your opions based on that. so what i'm getting at is this: you find someone you might like. but you pick them apart, find the flaws, amplify the negative, and form an opinion of them before truly getting to know them. and because of that you miss out on an opportunity. your loss, not theirs. i'm sorry i sound like a bitch but it's true. you need to stop picking people apart. and don't assume nobody "sees" you. maybe they are just waiting until you let them see you. and i don't think you can really let anyone see YOU until you figure out who YOU are.
her: well i knew i could count on you to make this way more complicated than i ever imagined.
me: what are friends for?
her: you're supposed to tell me i'm right and everything will be okay.
me: right, so... you want me to lie? that spells DISASTER. but seriously, i know it sucks. being single can be very empowering, you feel independent and blahdeblah. as wonderful as it is, it sucks. this is the first time in over 4 years that i haven't have a valentine. and as selfish and shallow as this will sound, i don't care. it makes me a little sad at times. it's not that i miss sex and kissing and all that (i can get that if i want it. yes spoken like a proud whore) but i just miss the feeling of being next to someone. i think ken wilber calls it "skin hunger" or something.
her: skin hunger? what, are you a cannibal now?
me: i AM from wisconsin...
Spoox and me send our love.(Odin was asleep in the laundry basket and wouldn't wake up for a picture)
