What does a relationship status mean to you?
I have recently been confronted about my commitment issues. I won't use staples, I use paperclips. I don't have ONE bank, I have two. I don't have a gym contract, a primary doctor or a favorite primary color. No favorite foods or restaurants. About the only thing I have committed to, in the last two years, is my Sunday afternoon dates with my brother John. We play air hockey in the shop from 12:15 - 12:45. Sharp. And just for clarification, When he wins. I LET him win...grrrr...
Anyway, I've been confronted with the "relationship talk" a time or two in the last couple of years. I quickly try to divert to a new topic and holler at the waitress for a cold beer. If I'm drunk, current topics are invalid. True Story. Typically a guy is quite content with my commitment issues because he has no intentions on actually being committed anyway. This is usually just his half-hearted attempt to assure himself that I'm monogamous. And THAT, internetz, is a RED FLAG that this man has no intentions of breaking down my barriers, so the relationship is off before it even began. Whew.
Disaster averted. Until now.
It seems someone has called me out on my ways. Someone has dared to say, that I'm feeding them bullshit. Someone has stepped up to the challenge of breaking down the walls. Someone as gone so far as to change his relationship status on FACEBOOK! Shit just got REAL. But seriously. He verbally acknowledged that I've been hurt and said he knows it's his job to make me comfortable again. That has never happened before. This scores MAJOR points with me. Usually I'm left behind because I'm clearly a lot of work. Internetz! Are you hearing what I'm saying? He seems to want to break down the walls. with something other than his dick.
We may have a keeper.
