An ex reached out to me recently. And i could never quite articulate why it didn't work. We had fun together, good chemistry, interesting banter... But something was missing.
I always want my boyfriend to be my partner in crime. But I realized this guy needed the women in his life to create a life for him. He wasn't inviting someone into his adventures. He was waiting around for a mate to create them. Life for him stopped and started depending on his relationship status.
So for me a good mate has his own life and adventures and wants to share. And I have my own to share. And we can create new ones together. But I'm not holding out until a mate shows up.
So are you having the adventures you have dreamed of? Or holding out till you have that someone to share them with?
Very interesting Jade. Great thinking on many singles lives. As for me a little of both. I live my life but I think if I do ever find someone we both can create fun for each other to enjoy.
I've always lacked in the area of security and making peace with my own character, but I have gotten much better. Most of my friends have got someone they share things with but I don't believe that's all life is about.
I'm still searching for my own path and happiness.
I will tell you I have met people who have no fun.
That's strange that a person has no individuality.
This guy had stuff he wanted to do. But he was waiting....for the right woman, the right relationship... He needed a person to be his spark to take action.
It was interesting, but the more I got to know him, the more Imlearned he gave the women in his life roles/jobs to help him live his life.
I have always lived my life the way I wanted with or without a partner.
My life never revolved around anyone else and I never relied on someone else to make me happy or keep me entertained.

Whether it involves a man or not.
This ^^^. I love my life. I've gotten really good at having fun on my own, or with friends. A complaint of men I've dated is that they think I won't have time for them. Things didn't work out for other reasons (probably?), but I don't let being single stop me from living the life I want to live.

Actually this isn't uncommon with guys. A lot of guys float through life and have dreams and aspirations but it's not until he finds the right woman that he gets the urge to actually follow through with his desires. You can always tell when a man is inlove because he genuinely starts upgrading his lifestyle if he has the means to do it.

I'd agree. I think there are a lot of men out there with blueprints of things that they'd like to do, and being partnered enables them to follow through on the blueprint. There are things in life that are easier to do when partnered than when alone.
