Ah! Welcome back.
I never quite know how to respond to your posts-
except I will admit that I've developed a thing for elliot on Scrubs. Also, the chic on medium I like as well, but I don't think it has reached the level of a thing.I have so many bad dates in my life that the online dating commercials just reflect my experience. I find much humor in that.
What perhaps is humorless is that most of those dates developed into 2-3 month long relationships, punctuated by intense boredom, a splattering of righteous indignation, and marked self-congratulation at my benevolence.
Currently I'm dating a very sheepish young man whom I fear to be impotent. This one may make it into 6 month range.
And yet, I have known love - the intense kind of love that replaced the dread. Klonopin helped immensely with that.
I understand online communication in all of its forms. It maintains a level of superficiality that can be quite comforting. In most cases it was never meant to be real, so there is no expectation, no intrusion.
I'm sorry, this thread was designed to be about you.
Nonetheless, welcome back. You were missed.
Maddie
