On Relationships


I shared a pleasant phone call with an elusive flame haired, axe wielding angel last night. I had a good time and I got to listen to throaty renditions of songs by Bob Marley and Nirvana, her voice always blows me away.

Sometime during our conversation the topic fell upon my past relationships, or, more appropriately, my lack of serious relationships. I don’t really picture myself as a layabout playboy, but I am sure that I often present that impression. I am twenty-three years old and my longest relationship was five months, which, despite being an eternity on the Charlie relationship-o-meter, seems relatively short to most. I date fairly frequently in a breezy manner, and most of these “relationships” never get past a few dates. Although I don’t sleep around, I freely admit that most (if not all) of my relationships that have lasted more than a month were (on my part) solely based on passion, not love.

Despite my flighty nature when it comes to relationships, I insist that my lecherous tendencies are not intentional. If anything, I am a hopeless, helpless romantic. I believe in love in its purest, and I will settle for nothing less. I have been told that the love that exists in the movies is a fiction and that the Romeo and Juliet portraits and prince charming murals are fairytale paintings that exist only in my head. My mother, my family members, and my horde of female friends constantly tell me that I have impossible expectations, but I really don’t have any set expectations, that isn’t how I picture love. I just want to meet someone that blows me away, someone that I find infinitely interesting yet uncannily familiar at the same time. Until I find someone that has those few qualities I intend to maintain my fleeting and fickle habits.

On too other news, on the 24th I will be celebrating my two year anniversary as an OBer…maybe I’ll post some OB reflections or something of that nature on Friday, or maybe I won’t…who knows? Besides me that is…
