- Love in Vein
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- Hi. You might remember my whiny FUCK file from a while back in which I
- wrote about a woman I loved but who turned out to be Queen Bitch of the
- Universe. I can recall feelings of nervousness mixed with abject fear,
- self-pity, and low self-esteem in the days before I opened up to her. I
- was so nauseous that I couldn't eat for literally days at a time. In
- short, I had a major depressive episode -- all before I even talked to
- her. This came about mainly because I knew her well, had known her for
- years, and didn't want to jeopardize the friendship (which, as it
- happens, meant more to me than it did to her). When I did open up to
- her, I found that my fears were true -- she didn't feel the same way.
- Additionally, she ended the friendship not long after when I made the
- mistake of mailing her a letter; she was paranoid (this observation was
- made by people other than myself, so no clouded judgment here :) and
- believed I was stalking her, so she threatened to file harassment
- charges if I ever contacted her again. So I stepped back and
- re-evaluated her as a potential partner, and discovered that she was, in
- fact, nowhere near what I think I want in a woman.
-
- This all occurred before last November. I've been feeling like shit over
- it for almost the entire time, but no more. Now I truly understand the
- meaning of such cliches as, "there are plenty of fish in the sea" and,
- "the worst thing she can do is say no" (not true in my case, but...). A
- few months ago I asked my shrink (don't ask) how a person like me who
- doesn't drink can meet people. She couldn't come up with any quick
- suggestions, but I think I've found a nice solution. A couple of weeks
- ago, Disorder took me and some TACD & PLA doodz to a dance club, where I
- saw perfect strangers dancing and hanging out together after exchanging
- a few words. As this was my first time in a club, I was amazed. The
- music was great and the women were great looking. Thanks to Dis, I've
- found a way to meet people without fear of rejection (if one doesn't
- want to dance, hey, I'll move on to the next :).
-
- By a nice coincidence, the club Dis introduced me to was the one which a
- friend of mine had told me I should go to. This was back in December,
- when I was still feeling like shit over the last woman, so it didn't
- occur to me that when my friend said, out of the blue, "why don't you
- ever go to the Wreck Room?" -- and then told me I should go sometime --
- that she may have been asking me to go with her. Earlier this week she
- and I flirted a bit...when I told her we went on a Saturday, she said
- that I should go on Sunday instead, as that's when she's there. After
- she said this several times, I responded that she would have to take me
- there sometime and teach me to dance. We dropped it there, but she
- smiled at me the rest of the day. As it happens, I chickened out on
- asking her to go this weekend, but I think I'll show up anyway and dance
- with her if she's there.
-
- Since Dis is probably sick of getting rambling, abstract submissions
- from me, I'll try to get a moral in here. For those of you who, like
- myself, have never had a long-lasting or serious relationship (my
- brother, who is gay, has had more girlfriends than I have. Digest that
- one), I would advise you to not fixate on one person. As stupid as it
- sounds, there ARE plenty of fish in the sea. I worried about getting one
- woman so much that it became the only goal in my life (but not so much
- that I stalked and killed her *<coughOJcough*>), and that's what fucked
- me up so much when I talked to her. With this one I think I can
- truthfully say that it will be no great loss if she doesn't go for me.
- There were several fish at the club on Saturday. Comparatively speaking,
- though, she's a far better match for me than the last one (who was a
- Catholic (I hate religion), a heavy drinker, and not particularly
- smart). This may sound like I'm dumping on her, but those are the facts
- that I couldn't see while I was blinded by the love in my blood.
-
- I'm making a fresh start this weekend. Wish me luck.
