Are we breaking up? Is there trouble between you and I?

So a friend of mine text messaged me that he needed to talk to me two nights ago.

He later told me he wanted to talk to me because he was having serious doubts about his relationship with his girlfriend. Then he said he had a mild crush on me.

We talked. I told him he owed it to his girlfriend to talk to her about what was bothering him. If he felt the relationship was worth saving then they could fix it. But, if he felt that it was a lost cause then he should break up with her because in the end that is the better choice. You shouldn't perpetuate feelings that aren't there. I also told him I don't have feelings for him.

I also asked him how long he has ever been single. He has only ever been single for no more than 9 months in his life. I am amazed more and more how people float from one person to the next. We define ourselves by our interactions with others and not ourselves for a large portion of our life. And yet we will be single for a LARGE portion of our lives. It's like we can't handle being alone so we begin our hunt for the next victim quite often on the coat tails of the end of another relationship. I don't think that is right. In my belief system you should be content and happy with yourself and being isolated before you look to being in a relationship. I know a lot of people disagree with me but this is just my opinion.

None the less, human beings greatly fascinate me.

I find it is very hard when you are in a situation like this. I am very clinical and forward. I tell the person out right that I don't have feelings for them and I don't mind being their friend. Maybe I lack compassion sometimes?? I don't know. I just know that I would want someone to tell me that. That way I could move on with my life and I wouldn't be lead on.


On a completely different note I LOVE learning new things! I was watching this awesome channel I get called Ovation. It's like a snobby version of PBS dedicated to the ARTS!!! How amazing is that???!!! Anyway they had this show on The Bauhaus.

If you don't know about it read about it!!
