running 2 marathons was SO MUCH EASIER 1 week ago

perfectly perfect, compatible, mature, insanely attractive musician / local film talent / gifted surgeon pursues me for months AND OF COURSE I BLOW IT. le sob. “didn’t want a relationship” – if he liked me he wouldn’t talk that way, am i right or wrong?

i freak out whenever i get too far from my comfort zone – being contentedly alone, emotionally unattached, slightly brooding over my last self-imposed heartbreak or dizzy with hope about my potential next one that i’d never dream of materializing.

i have no problem coming across opportunities. i go on loads of dates and have all these flirtatious little dalliances. i even had a boyfriend for a second because i knew i was about to move to switzerland so i wasn’t afraid of it ending. but once i start to like them back without an upcoming move to an overseas country, i get super sensitive about things that don’t even freakin matter, and when i bolt, i stop communicating so good they don’t come after me. i take it very personally that they don’t keep trying…but i honestly don’t blame them. what if i called this good man and apologized? was i too stringent in my standards? he did nothing but say he didn’t want a relationship “right now” and i get out of his life for good thinking some other girl will change his mind and i don’t wanna be around to see it.

i have just turned 26 even tho i feel about 14, and have roughly the romantic experience of any particularly disobedient 16-year-old. i have done spectacular things with my life (“i’ve done 69 things” check em out – and that’s only since last year, there’s been way more) but i have never, ever, once, been in love. it just seems too dangerous and it paralyzes me with fear. ever the single-and-fabulous type, i am now wondering if i’ve been missing out and what i am so scared of. why do i think it is so much to ask? why don’t i embrace it like any other adventure? am i wrong to shrug it off every time as the wrong guy, or is every guy going to be the wrong guy because of something repelling i do?

if “to have a friend, be a friend,” then “to have a boyfriend, be a girlfriend?” i can’t imagine how any two people ever in the history of the world ever got together for more than drunken hook-ups – that is how foreign this stuff is to me. i can run 26 miles and travel the world when i’m broke and tame vicious pit bulls, and strike a match off my 2 front teeth, and speak italian, and even get a 4-year-old to floss her own teeth properly… but i can’t believe people can fall in love. much less do it myself.

all you high school kids – sometimes i wish i got over all this when i was your age – gather ye rosebuds while ye may. of course, other times i wouldn’t change a thing and figure it’s all for the best and the best is yet to come.

i just want to accomplish this to prove to myself it’s possible. christ it doesn’t have to be my future husband or anything, just someone to make out with whenever i want.

I want to have a boyfriend like the ones in the Taylor Swift songs. I kow thats cheesy and everything, but that’s what I want it to be like. I don’t want to be one of those girls who comes out of high school and has never had a boyfriend. I mean, no offense to those girls, but I’d really rather have a boyfriend sooner rather than later.

To have a boyfriend 2 months ago

Having a boyfriend is hard. I don’t exactly have one, but i’m going to.
If he likes it of not.



Untitled 4 months ago

I’m 17 and scared of boys. Well, not boys so much…I flirt like it’s crucial to my survival, but when I find out a boy likes me, regardless of how much I like him back, I freak out. I guess I’m just not ready. I’ve never had a boyfriend, and I don’t particularly want one. I know I will eventually, when I get over my ridiculous fear of committment (I’m still in high school, for crying out loud! This is ridiculous).

I think it is infinitely sad that there are currently 605 people wanting to do this. The world is full of beautiful and amazing girls who may not be perfect (not just physically), but are more than deserving of a boyfriend.

I am 18 and have never had a boyfriend. My friends don’t understand it, and neither do I. Most people assume that I have a boyfriend when they meet me, cause “I’m such a great person so I must have one,” is what I typically hear. Now this might be a boost of self esteem for some people, to always be hearing that, but all it does for me is convince me that there is something fundamentally wrong with me that pushes boys away. I have guy friends, definitely, but none are interested, or even available.

Its a huge self-esteem crusher actually. And I hate to think that so many other people in the world have to be this lonely. It shouldn’t be this complicated.

It only took me 23 years! 9 months ago

I have been dating my boyfriend for two months. We met just about a year ago at the time of this entry and liked each other for probably about six months or so before we started seeing each other. This is my first relationship ever, and I can’t predict how long it will last or what will come of it, but for now I am enjoying our time together. That’s good enough for me :)
