oh i understand that totally.
I had a bit of an ephinany last night when i came home and just felt a bit 'meh'
First thing i did was call the ' other man, who from now on ill refer to as mr big. ( to steal it from carrie!)
ANyway, after a nice natter with him i realised something. hes kind of my safety net. I am free to love him, or get angry at him or whatever, because its safe. I know nothing will ever happen ( despite thinking i want it to sometimes) I know im not going to get rejected or hurt, and because we have this ' thing' i can kid myself that its some kind of relationship, and dont have to risk real life feelings, or get too close to anyone else only to get rejected, or cheated on or anything else horrible.
Does that makse sense?
Which then of course explains my slight ( probably unfounded) disapointment yesterday. Because want i really want is for someone to be head over heels in love with me from the offset, and of course, it doesnt actually work like that. But i cant help but compare things to mr big, which arent actually real or tangiable.
So, if i see a guy, and hes still on a dating site ( like dogman is) and really, why woldnt he be after two dates, i still am. I get a little bit miffed. because i compare it to mr big.
Bcause that is easier than taking a risk, letting someone in, and risking getting hurt.
I think thats why i over anaylise things too. Im actually looking for a reason for it to be crap, so i can make an excuse and go back to the relative safety net of mr big.
I might need to explain the mr big thing a bit more too, but we have never even had sex. Its a purely emotional thing.
So - now ive figured all this out. i dont actually know what to do with it.
