| Relationship Advice |
| 06.30.04 (10:32 am) [edit] |

I have a friend that's 10 years younger than me. We banter back and forth about a lot of stuff. She's been thru a rollercoaster of relationships in the past year and finally found an amazing guy. It seems like they complement each other and have a great foundation. The kicker is, she's asking ME for relationship advice. People do that all the time - I don't get it. I'm not exactly the primo example of relationships. It's kind of like asking me how to fix a car. I can't open my own hood... Yet, I seem to give pretty good advice on relationships. [b]Why is it that we can see so clearly perspective in other people's relationships but can't see squat about our own?[/b] |

Some people learn by trial and error. The more errors, the more you have to share. Sorry if that comes out as a dig, cuz thats not how I mean it :)

With other people it's really clear to us bcuz we can see it head on. With our own relationships we become blinded bcuz our heart tells us not to see certain things bcuz they hurt. It's kinda like we are blinded by love. Do you kinda get it?

How could objective thought take place on an inherently subjective matter (namely ourselves).
If its any comfort none else can do it either. People simply have different levels of self-delusion

when you mean "we" i assume you're excluding yourself right? you seem to have your head on straight when it comes to this stuff. I personally dont let myself get caught up in the relationship and clouding my judgment. i know someone now whose judgement is being clouded in my opinion and she is SO certain that this is right, but...time will tell.

Hell no do I have my head on straight. I think some of my blogs have demonstrated that.

I dont know why everone is asking you for relatinship advice but since you are dishing it out....
I met a guy recently. I am definately sure that he is interested. But he lives far away. I have him hooked...but now how do I reel him in? ;)
Seriously though, I know how you feel. People ask my advice about their relationships all the time. I think it is like asking your vegan friend how to cook a good steak. ;)

My advice: Avoid LDR's. And you can't reel a guy in. You c an only be yourself. He's gotta wanna be with you or otherwise, he's not really yours - it can't be smoke & mirrors.
I can't cook a steak to save my life.

I know what you are saying about LDRs but I have to admit that I really like this one so if he shows an interest, I am not sure I'll be able to help myself.
It is funny that you should mention just being one's self. I was just reading this terrible book and I decided that they were full of crap and that if a guy cant like me for ME, then why would I even want him? I might blog about this soon. Right now, I am too drunk. I opened that bottle of wine and *then* remembered that I just gave blood yesterday. Oops.

Didn't I warn you about drinking after giving blood? LOL
We'll discuss it another day. Drink plenty of water so you're not hungover tomorrow a.m.

Story of my life.
I've never been in a succesful relationship, mainly because being in the college atmosphere, I've dealt with some pretty shallow girls.
I've got no real preference or age or ideals, except dirty bitches, man, I hate those bitches that get around entirely too much. But that's neither here nor there.
I've always been the guy my girl friends (two words) talk to about relationship advice and what to do (but I'm not gay, to clarify).
I have just one bad relationship that messed up my head more than anyone, and it still haunts me to this day.

We all have skeletons/baggage in our hearts. Time usually helps them fade. So does finding someone new when the time is right.
Hope your bad one loses its haunting power one day - soon.
"dirty bitches" and manwhores - why can't they find each other and leave the rest of us alone? Or perhaps have it tattooed on their forehead so we know to stay away?
