She came over dressed to the 9s, all made up with her expensive makeup, blew in, made sure I packed everything, went through all the rooms, and was gone in about 10 minutes from start to finish. When we had her car packed up, we kind of stared at each other, and I said 'So should we hug or something?' and she looked at me like I was crazy. She then said "I hope you find what you're looking for." I replied "I hope you find what you're looking for too." She said "I'm not looking for anything." then we hugged for a while, and then I broke the hug, and then said she should let me know if she liked her christmas presents. She said OK, then got into her car, said thanks, and drove away.
10 minutes later she called and asked for a piece of artwork that she made that's hanging in my bedroom back. I told her I'd drop it off.
So that's it, I guess. I'm pretty down today. I haven't reconciled in my head whether or not it wasn't a good match between us or if I could have done something different for it to be more successful, or if I have something that has to be substantively changed for me to have a successful relationship since I seem to have a string of failures. I'm probably over-thinking it as I have a big space of things and time that I don't have to think about now, I don't know.
Relationships take two people that find enough worth in the relationship to work at it. If it isn't right for one of the people, it simply won't work.
It would be nice to know what it is she didn't find in the relationship, but I'm guessing it's nothing you could have done or not done, but rather something she was looking for or wanting that wasn't there.
Maybe the chemistry wasn't right.
You're a nice guy though and there will be the perfect person to create a perfect relationship that will come along when you least expect it.
Yeah bear that sucks. Sometimes things just don't work. And it's easy to get a bad attitude about it and get down on yourself. But that doesn't really solve anything and it just makes things worse I suppose.
I'm glad to hear you still have hope and a good attitude. It's a sad time but that's what you have your friends for!!
But if you're wondering about if you could have done something different to make it work, it wasn't a good match anyway. You shouldn't have to reinvent yourself in a relationship.
You're a real catch, Bear. You'll find someone who will love you for who you are, I'm convinced of that.
But I doubt that makes you feel any better right now. But when it happens, I'll be here to say "I told you so!".
A big hunk of a man like you shouldn't have any problem snagging a babe in no time at all. Just be sure that you give yourself enough time so your not in rebound mode. That wouldn't be heathy for you nor your partner.
unless it's purely physical then you should feel free to change from a bear to a rabbit. :smile:
Sorry to hear about the B/U bear. that always sucks, no matter what time of the year.
everyone is right - if it's not meant to be, it's just not meant, and when the one that is meant comes along - well, you really do know it and the heart ache prior seems like pebbles beneath your feet.
SEIU All the cleaning maintenance employees in the TC. Most of my crew doesn't like their union anyway so I might be somewhat OK but the union has a big head since things worked out in their favor when they striked in Houston last month. But $5.15/hr with no bennies vs. $12.97/hr with full bennies might not generate the same support they received down there. I see the public being more shocked up here that the janitors are making as much as they are. Plus I don't see too many of the workers wanting to bring too much attention to themselves in the first place. If ya know what I mean.
Thanks Nick. I might take you up on that if we exhaust our current stand-by list.
4 hours working on fixing a spyware infested computer for a friend. And now windows explorer.exe isn't playing nice, so the computer won't even boot up.
If anyone wants to get me a late christmas gift, this would be nice.
thanks. I split 5 bottles of champagne last night with one of my girlfriends. needless to say, my liver is going to be taking a rest before I come out there. :chagrin:
Day one of the diet - has been pretty good, aside from the coke I drank this morning to stop the room from spinning. :eyeroll:
Its a new f'n year, and yet it still feels like all of the crap is still the same...
- a new year: and still no love.

:frown: :angry: :lipsealed: :worried: :frown:
I'm sorry to hear about all of that - it sucks!, sadly enough, I could actually top you all! :frown: - I'm glad we're all still alive and not sick ...well, L4v's probably still sick :wink: :lipsealed:
And there's still some stuff hidden in there somewhere reinstalling some things I've removed.
Gave up on it about 1 in the morning, gonna go back to it tonight and finish it off so I can return that computer tomorrow. One way or another it's outta my place :smile: Then on to the next project.
I'm not really trying to compete with anyone, per se, especially with you.
One of the most important lessons I've learned in life I learned from Ally McBeal. She was asked once on that show "What makes your problems so special?" and she replied "Because they're mine."
I understand that in the grand scheme of things what's affecting me isn't that big of a deal, but it affects me.
Sorry you're also going through stuff. I'd be happy to take you to lunch to make it better, or, at least give you someone to commiserate with. :wink:
I'm in no way trying to belittle anyones troubles- downfalls- sadness - frustrations
I was just venting mine as well
sometimes I don't know how to vent them in a way that I don't say what it is but by using others as examples - mine are usually similar and I sympathize

Actually I feel great. I think the champagne killed everything in my body.
Although I'm not sure if my asthma will flare up when I try to run on Sunday for my 2 soccer games...
I was just venting mine as well

sorry bear :frown:
we WILL do lunch
maybe Thursday or Friday?
I could use your bear hug 2
