Dating

Still not interested in it are you? You really need to get over that and at least try to force yourself out there. Dating while hurt was easy; this isn’t. Honestly you wouldn’t mind so much but it’s just so tired from having to go through the same getting to know someone, etc. oh yeah sure it’s fun, soon as you find someone you feel interested in starting all over again with, but that involves time consuming development of trust and love and intimacy…  yada yada… you don’t want to have to dick around with all that again at this age you just want into the damn clubhouse.

Holy crap what would you do with a stable woman anyway, given the struggles you keep having. But wow that seems nice……

The Celt tried to explain to the Flame what you were looking for in a woman and ironically it is the exact same thing you were 20 years ago. The more time you spend with Flame, The more you come to realize you have actually grown since then. Her? 41 years old and still doesn’t have a fucking desire to have a car. She doesn’t work, cook, or do much else and very little is expected of her. In fairness her kids are all teenagers so some of that pressure is off but you can easily tell that she gets zero respect for them because she doesn’t really do anything. Maybe she cleans; you don’t know. you are trying to inspire her to be more in her life, but you know very well how the logical conclusion of that goes. Maybe she can find some independence, but deep down even if you ended up together you would effectively be a caretaker and not have a partner in life.

Fascinating that 20 years ago she was everything. But nowadays you flat out honestly need someone who actually understands what to do with a W-2. Sadly that’s as harsh as it is true.

You know that some distance is going to have to happen there. If she gets caught there are all kinds of problems for her. She would have to have alimony to survive, or some other guy.

Not your problem. So go find a problem. Hopefully a cute one that will want to get to know you and fit you into her life. 

You’ve finally started to get impatient with this jaded stage of your life. Bout time. hopefully that can be motivational… 🤔

All while continuing to pretend there is no elephant in the room… 😕
