Faith Hill has this song about letting go. Wonderful song. Lyrics have, "Help me let go" in them.:smile:

Normally if hear or think somebody is complicated I head for the hills. Unless they still keep an 8 track.

I have an 8-track, and reel-to-reel collection.

Any Stevie Nicks on that bad boy? Joan Baez?

Negatory to both, though I do like Nicks.

I'm leaning towards him being married or at least seeing other people...his life is complicated because he's keeping his options open.

That's the cynic in me, naturally.

My life is complicated...I have pets, so I have to get home after work to take care of them. I'm pretty independent at work, which could mean flexibility but often means that I have to visit different sites throughout the week, so my schedule can often be last minute. I have kids, so I have commitments to them that are not always planned in advance.

Those are all excuses I could use to not meet with someone...whereas, if I wanted to spend time with someone, I'd let them know when I'm most available and I'd make the effort to keep those commitments.

Having a busy, complicated life is how I avoid spending time around some family members...not how I'd treat someone I was interested in dating.


If someone ever used their pets as an excuse not to date, I'd just have to laugh at them. That's a pretty bad excuse.


I agree. My quandary was how do I bone two females with one of them being a dog and the other one a woman without being attached to either one of them because of bestiality or jealously. I found the answer at the grocery store. In the meat department there was this large bone called a pet bone. I brought it home but my boarder said that $3.60 was too much to spend on my dog, Lady. So she used the bone to make a soup stock and when she was done with it she said Lady could have it.:smile:

I wanna know if this was too biotchy of me. I stopped seeing someone because his life was just too freaking complicated. I felt like I needed a copy of Soap Opera digest to keep up with his information. I kept thinking "this dude is a scammer" and he would send proof over and over that he wasn't but I was like "Dude, I can't follow the story line". I mean so he's not a scammer, so what? Is it unreasonable of me to just want someone who is just an average person with an average life and nothing complicated to keep track of? Like the a guy named Joe or something who manages a hardware store and has a dog named Alf or something that easy???


Seems to me, your own life is fairly complicated on its own, so I can see why you don't want to be dealing with someone else's "Soap Opera". Taking time for yourself is very important. I don't think there are any "should's" that need to take precedence over how YOU feel about things. Do what you need to do. flowers

not at all,, people have different emotional needs

some need to feel needed to the point of preferring very 'clingy' personalities over independent ones

some dont


some feel a need to be excited and entertained to the point of preferring those with more drama as opposed to less,,,


,,,its preference, I think theres nothing wrong with it, when it comes to peoples 'lifestyles'( a bit difference if based on things that arent a choice, like race or gender)

It would never work between us. My life is WAY too complicated. Every day I come on here and have to press ALL these little buttons (and in the right order!). Then I gotta go to the garage and throw wrenches at cars. Man, that's alot of tools to pick from! Then once in a while people make me put pants on. That's a whole situation right there figuring out which body part goes in what hole. Then once a month I gotta go into that room upstairs, then turn these knobs and water comes out, then put this bubbly stuff all over me, then rinse it off, then dry off. GEEZ! THIS IS WAY TOO COMPLICATED! frustrated grumble

I do have CCR.

A lot of it's music from the 50's and 60's as most of it my dad gave me when he was emptying out his collection and that's what he mainly listens too.

I don't see a problem here. You have a certain amount of baggage you're willing to deal with from another person, and once it goes beyond that, it's simply not worth the effort and the ongoing notes on plot twists, etc. Nothing wrong with that....
