Hey guys, bear with me here. Sometimes I purposefully avoid telling all sides of a story. Mainly because I like entertaining y'all with the good parts. Like tricky says, in doing it this way I turn you into crackwhores waiting for your next "fix".
I enjoy "J"s company, and obviously we're at that phase where we are pretty damn comfortable with each other. It takes me quite a while with anybody, be it a friend/potential fling/etc., to get really comfortable with being around somebody. She's fun, and funny. She laughs at my racist jokes and tells me hers. She's also incredibly giving, and not just to me. She works for a non-profit organization known worldwide, and is in Africa to help her best friend out there with some things. I have never in my life gotten to this level where I am super comfortable with a girl.
Now what I don't tell you all because it's just boring is that I tell her that I appreciate her and what she does for me all the time. After every meal she cooks, I make it a point to really let her know how I appreciate her cooking, and how fantastic the meal is. I literally thank her after every blowjob I've had. Meaning I say "thank you". Haha. She giggles and smiles. I am fucking thankful. I guess some of this adds to the complete picture, which obviously you all don't have.
I am 28 years old, never had a girlfriend, and never had pussy until mid Dec of last year. My boss always chides me for not having experienced things like a "real" breakup. I told him about Katie, the girl I took to Costa Rica that fucked the other guy while I was there (also the one who sold me a knife set hahaha). But we were never in a relationship. I thought I loved her, and she dare I say barely tolerated me. He's like dude, you have no idea what it is like to be crushed after being in a relationship with somebody for years and suddenly the other person wants to break it off. He's absolutely right. I have never felt that sort of pain. I also haven't ever felt the sort of joy one has one in a long-term committed relationship. This is the longest time I have dated any woman.
Krsna, I like your post earlier. To expound on it I am going to use an analogy I was thinking of earlier. You always hear about these poor folks who win the lottery and then within a matter of months they squander all of the money away and end up bankrupt, committing suicide, whatever, totally fucked. It actually seems to happen fairly frequently. I'm that guy who won the lottery. Keep up with me here and the analogy. For 28 years I was dirt poor and thus didn't ever learn how to manage money properly. Suddenly, in December I win the god damn lottery. Just out of nowhere, BAM! Holy shit, what the fuck do I do with this money? I have no fucking idea. Never had any previous experiences managing any kind of money, because I never had any. This is completely foreign to me, man. I'm learning through trial and error. If I squander it away, well luckily it's not the end of the world. I just learn a valuable life lesson.
Any fuckin' way, I do like "J", but don't feel ready for a real, committed relationship. For one, I have this deep fear that has only been fueled more by my best friend's story. Since I was about 21, people have been joking/chiding that the first girl I have sex with I'll probably end up marrying. I have fiercely denied this. Then check this out, my best friend was also a virgin until he was 25. Then he found a girl, they fucked, and they got married. He made a huge fucking mistake. She is so incredibally naggy/bitchy/whiney and just no fun at all to be around. Very unattractive in my eyes too. But he loves her. I think the only reason he did it (besides the fact that she is also a scientologist) is because she was the first girl he had sex with. That is not a reason to get married (at least for me).
I don't want to fall into the same trap.
Bottom line. I do have some feelings for "J" and I do care about her feelings, but I have not developed the "goo goo gaa gaa" mentality that I am super attracted to her, or want her to be mine, or whatever those feelings of attraction are. To me, it feels like we're friends, that just happen to fuck. Except now I know that she cares about me a lot. I don't have those same feelings - we're on different levels. I mean even that girl "R" that I went out with a some last year I had huge feelings for. It's weird. She wouldn't give me the time of day and I was incredibally hurt when she didn't call me, etc. and now with "J" I don't have those feelings at all.
