Really I'm Fine. Really.

Really I'm Fine. Really.


Well after yesterdays post, on complications, I received a bevy of mails asking questions. So I thought maybe a quick, light hearted, follow up would be in order.

yes..I'm fine. No I'm not depressed. I have not given up all hope. No, I'm not leaving Affairlook or the blogs. It's all good!!

Just done complicating things, so I'm taking a break from the dating pool for a while..Not looking for any of the acronyms until further notice.

Some of the responses got me thinking..oh crap, here we go again, he's thinking. Relax, these thoughts have been with me for a while.

A couple of us were laughing about the responses of, don't think about it, too much thinking, too much planning. Just let it happen. Well, truthfully, that's what I did with my ex wife. That really didn't turn out well.

I think some of the problems in relationships is people don't have any plans on what they're looking for. How can you know if the other person has it, if you don't even know what it is. LOL I know I've been guilty of it. Meet a girl, have some fun. Sex is great. Let's get married/ltr, whatever. Then years later it's....what the hell was I thinking!?!?! Problem was I wasn't thinking.

If you don't spend time figuring out who you are, what makes you happy, and what you want out of life and a relationship. Then in my opinion, you're throwing darts trying to hit a bullseye. Except you're blindfolded and have one hand tied behind your back. Don't over think this comment and think I'm opposed to blindfolds or having my hands tied down. I'm thinking, I'm not.

I'm sure some find the one, with just blind luck. But at my age, i think I've gotten wise enough to think about my actions, my relationships, my life and my future, with a little bit more of a ideal than when i was young. To be honest, if I'd have been wiser when I was young...maybe I wouldn't be here looking now. LOL

I have a good plan, know who I am, and what I want. Thing is, lifes too short to spend it alone. But it's way too long, to spend with the wrong person. Think about that..

Anyways, for those that sent me messages, I thank everyone who wished me well. Offered an ear to talk to. And those that were actually worried. Thanks to all those who like the<b> philosophy </font></b>of the Three L's. The two couples that messaged me about the idea, inspired me. And the others make me think it might have been worth the effort, especially that one special comment.

There are a lot of great people on this blog. And to think it's a get laid tonight site. LOL

Peace.

Also wanted to see how many times I could get the word think, in a post. I think I need to try harder.

indeed...and i know you have a good head over your shoulder...and only you can construct the better life...in the way you want it...

yes you don't have to spend a whole lot of time, but you need to be sure, which way you are going and with what plan...and i am pretty sure, you have already know that...i am trusting you...

good luck...work hard, but take your time...as much as you want...

I love the opinions on here. Well most of them, there is that one guy that's out there.
I try to look at everything, as I can always learn something. Or maybe see something differently, due to someone else's opinion.

You just keep them coming.

Thank you very much for your post and the compliments.

I think I just worded it a little too deeply, and gave the impression I "just " started thinking about this. Yes, I have a plan..had a plan for the last 13 years. And it worked out wonderfully. I'm sure the next 13 will be just as good.

This is the culmination of years..and I mean years. Of thinking. LOL

Ah...I see what you're saying more in this response.

And I agree completely. To be honest, what I want now, is not what I wanted 13 years ago..so staying flexible is absolutely a must. The only time I really thought I found what I wanted, but wasn't happy with it, was my marriage. But to be honest, at 25, I'm sure I was thinking with the little head more than the big one.

I think mine was more of where I wouldn't settle. Things that were too important to me, to allow me to change my mind and accept something less.

People change, attitudes change, circumstances change. I"m always flexible.

Here's a line I had on a match profile. "I know every relationship takes compromise, I just refuse to settle in who I'm willing to compromise with. "

I think no matter what you do it's gonna . . . leave a mark.

I'm thinking that's another thing I like about you. If two people are thinking about each other, than that's one less thing to have to think about.

Well that's sorta what I thought I was expressing, but some have pointed out it sounded a little "dark"...

Thanks.
