Feelin' shit, then feelin' ok again
I've not had a chance to post here for a little while because I've been a busy boy. Here's a summary of the last two weeks in two paragraphs. Maybe a bit more than two paragraphs, but you get the idea.
My friend M and I keep having our ups and downs. She still turns to me for relationship advice, but if I try to give advice based on 20% of the available information, and jump to the wrong conclusions, she gets very upset. We had a falling out last weekend, and although we've sorta made up since, she suggested that we didn't get too involved in each other's private lives in the future. This will certainly cut down on the number of arguments and fallings out we have, but whether or not it will lead to a slow deterioration of the friendship remains to be seen.
M and C both have their own opinions of each other, which are (in both cases) a bit superficial and stereotyped. Muggins here is stuck in the middle! C tried to call off our relationship last weekend as she hadn't been entirely honest with me about her age, and she thought that when we met up I would take one look at her and walk out of the door. She knew that the next stage would be to meet, we'd chatted online for four weeks, been texting for three, and on the phone to each other for a week. There was absolutely no reason for us not to meet, apart from this little white lie about her age (and if I'm being honest, her weight as well, but weight can always be worked on).
I persuaded C not to call the whole thing off, let's go for a drink anyway, see if there's anything there, and see where it takes us. We went for a drink last Monday, and I'm going round to hers this evening. It's still very much early days, of course, but I wasn't going to accept being dumped just like that!
So M thinks C is an online player and has me under her thumb. C thinks M is selfish and just talks to me when she wants me for something. Fortunately, since they live so far apart, ne'er the twain shall meet. Personally, I like them both, and I want to be close to them both as well. One as a friend, one as a lover. Why should it be so bloody difficult?
On another matter, my cousin S has sorted herself out a new flat to rent and moves in on Sunday. Looks like she will be getting a divorce, but at least her husband is talking to her on reasonable terms at the moment and not biting her head off down the phone all the time.
Anyone got a rock I can crawl back under?
