Dating With Kids

This is true in many aspects of life. This little piece of information about men is even true in relationships. I am not saying that you should play games with the man in your life. I believe in being truly honest and upfront with the person that you are dating. That being said, I have noticed a few truths about men when it comes to dating.

When I was overly attentive to my boyfriend, he would not care if he talked to me or not. To be truthful, other things that were going on in his life distracted him. Since I was always there, he was not worried about me going anywhere. Then, it all began to change.

As the time became longer that he was in Atlanta, I started to focus more on my own life. I still loved him and wanted to include him, I just did not make the effort to talk to him a couple of times a day. I even skipped a day of sending him a message because I got wrapped up in something that I was doing. All of a sudden my casual boyfriend was texting me to see what was going on. He started realizing that he needed to make an effort to keep me as part of his life. Some may say this is playing a game. What do you think?

Ok, today’s post is going to be a little different then the normal. I am in a very good mood. No, I did not get to see my boyfriend this weekend. I did not win a million dollars in the lottery. I just am happy today. It is all because of the changes that I am trying to implement in my life.

The firs change that I am doing is to not let the drama around me suck me in. This would usually happen on an everyday basis. There is a lot of drama in the world. All of it is useless. I am just seeing these events and complaining as they are. This wastes moments of life. There are more important things in life then complaining about things.

My boyfriend has a saying; I have no complaints what would be the point of complaining anyway. This is truly a way to look at all of the drama that surrounds you each day.

I finally got to see my boyfriend over the weekend. He was home from Atlanta for the holidays. As I type this he is already on the road headed back to Atlanta. This is just the Christmas present that I needed.

I have been questioning recently why I was staying with my boyfriend. We have had our difficulties and I have been feeling more and more apart from him emotionally. It was if our being apart and his finding out that he was unsure of his feelings were scaring me.

It was like old times when we got together. It was a little rocky at first but it became very easy for me to remember why this man that I love is my best friend. It is often the simplest moments that help to rekindle the flame of romance.

When you are single is it impossible to say friends with people who are married. As a single person, most people find it easier to hang out with other single people. I have the even weirder distinction of not being single, yet my other half so to speak is so far away that I may as well be. It is because of this distance that I am starting to feel more like I am single.

I believe that single people try to avoid all of the married people situations because it is too easy to become the third wheel. I have had this happen many times. I have also had it happen that the spouse starts to not like me because I get a long with her husband too well. It is one of those fine lines that is very hard to see at times.

I know that most people will not be surfing the Internet today, but I decided to do a post any way. I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. I just got my daughter down for the night and am finally getting to relax.

For the last few years, Christmas has become more stressful then it should. I have to travel two and a half hours one way to celebrate Christmas. We take all the presents and dinner. Spend a couple hours and drive back the same day. I miss getting to truly enjoy the holidays. I did enjoy watching my daughter enjoy herself. Other then that any enjoyment was gone for me. It was just another day. I guess that is why I decided to get some work done.
