new relationships...

The problem with starting a new relationship whether it be with a friendship or a new lover… you have to start from scratch with what you do and do not like, your expectations of what kind of relationship you want and your expectations of the person you see yourself with.
At least I try to get this all out of the way when I know something is going somewhere, therefore I am not disappointed with an outcome that doesn’t satisfy my expectations.

So lets talk about girl/boy, boy/girl, girl/girl/, boy/boy, in love (or at least so ‘smitten you don’t want to leave each others sides’) kind of feeling. You have just met or have just got together and you would rather go days without brushing your teeth than getting out of bed with that person… but you do because there is more too life than furry teeth and new love. Now when I say love I don’t mean the real deal love, I mean that warm feeling when you can’t get enough of someone, and your brain is so clouded with romantic thoughts you have to override the feeling to yell the words at them.

I see this passion around me all the time, I love hearing friends, people or strangers at work tell me about someone they have met, someone they have a crush on, or someone they are using for a nice good romp. I love hearing it, I even love that feeling myself, but I try to stay clear of it, because there is always disappointment.

Disappointment with the amount of time you want to see them, the time you allocate to them (especially if you are keeping it a secret from other people), the places you go, the friends you introduce them too, the moments where you have to say goodbye.

Relationships seem like trouble because you are constantly putting your trust, love and friendship in the hands of another person. And if that person is a male (or any other involuntary robot) than you are pretty much screwed.

My advice and rule, let attraction guide you so far, but, make sure you have a connection with someone so strong it doesn’t matter what others opinions of you are.
The ‘connection’, spark, uncontrollably urge, you both have is strong, then most of that other rubbish I was talking about, isn’t even an issue, because furry teeth are nothing compared to troubled and heartbreakable lovers.
