Emotional Reaction vs. Intellectual Knowledge

[mlerules]

My heart fairly sings when I see a photo, even as my mind realizes it's (highly) likely best to give up hope and just be friends. So, here's what I'm gonna try to do: wait & see. How long should/will I wait? Not gonna consider it now. Answer: a while longer. As one Dear Friend recently put it, boys're sometimes twits.

I'm sometimes a twit, does that make me a boy?

[mlerules.livejournal.com]

Nope, that does not follow a logical conclusion from my statement, which isn't to say that we couldn't come up w/other arguments proving or at least implying that you're a boy anyway. ;-)

(By the way, do you IM? I'm on YahooMessenger - same username as here.)

and girls have coodies!

It was an even trade off... at least that is what I've been told.

Yin/Yang

Touche. As I appreciate the importance of balance in all things, this works out just fine.

Twits? Hell, sometimes they're downright dense.

Yeah, methinks we could chuck 'em into water and they'd sink like a lead weight, but since I still like 'em, I don't wanna do this. Not yet anyway.

The good thing about being poly is that we don't have to put any kind of time limit on waiting. We can go on about our lives, move forward, find someone new....yet, still have a place for them if they decide to come around later. :)

At least, that's how I try to look at it. Focusing on the Positive and all that jazz. *hee*

Wisdom from the mouth of babes. Thx for these words. I know it's so, but sometimes forget. :-)

It's easy to remember them when looking at someone else's life...yet so easy to forget when it comes to our own. Such is life, eh?

And while I may be young, I do have alot of unfortunate life experience that has educated me in many ways. Although as it was those experiences that shaped me into the person I am today, maybe they aren't so "unfortunate". Sometimes, it's all about putting a more positive spin on things. ;)

Which is a damn good reason to surround ourselves (physically and virtually) by friends who can remind us of what we'd remind them were situations reversed.

Positively spinning's a good way to go...

Amen, Sistah!

As someone in precisely the same predicament (swap the genders, though) I cam completely sympathize.

Sadly, most of my horrific relationship (friend or romance) stories are with women although my first husband was quite the..ahem...winner.

I've noticed that most men will just fight with me and get it over with, while most women will never bring it up, be my friend for three more years, and then BURY the knife in my back.

My relationships tend to just "Happen" too. Ask Dartaganon, my lovely husband. We met by accident, drooled, and ta da! Glorious happiness. Me thinks the Gods tinkered.

[mlerules.livejournal.com]

Guess I need to add another research project to the list: figure out just exactly how to appease/please these Gods so they feel like tinkering on my behalf. ;-)

Well, we were both married to other people when we met...so add a dash of hopeless tragedy to tempt fate? :D

[mlerules.livejournal.com]

Hmm, methinks getting married again isn't the wisest way to plan to find the Perfect Person elsewhere. Then again, that hadn't been the PLAN for either of you, which makes a difference. Glad the Fates smiled on you both, rubbed hands in glee, and made sparks fly.

[sterling-raptor.livejournal.com]

Indeed! :D
