Re: "I am FUCKING FABULOUS."

[low-fat-muffin.livejournal.com]

I've been in two blockbuster longterm relationships. but since - I have not been able to find someone that can even get past basic dating. Joe and I romanced - and then moved all over together and I was his nurse/caregiver as he transitioned - we were together 4 years - then a year later i met Jon - with whom I was with for 11 years. and we found and had real love - until after 11 years he wanted a younger model. Since that breakup (2004) I haven't had very good luck with men. First the insincere sex addict I moved to SF for after a long distance relationship - then two or three guys since I've dated for a few weeks and for any myriad of reasons - they don't get even into serious dating. (sigb(

It's totally not a matter of not feeling worthy - or not loving myself. and I know I have lots of love in my life - but I really miss having that special man to look after - and who might look after me a little. and I grow weary of putting myself out there for men who find all those things, verbalize them: "creative, intelligent, loving, giving" and etc. - - - but go off and decide to find that particular KIND of love I'm seeking - with someone else.

Is it possible, and I'm just asking as an interested friend, that you are evaluating current potential partners in terms of those two blockbuster relationships?

I have heard that SF is the WORST city in the country for relationship oriented men, but that's purely antecdotal.

It's possible that you've just had the misfortune of meeting a few cads in a row.

Austin is right up there with San Francisco. I've lived in both cities.

I have a sense it's a lot like moving next to a candy store to start a diet, and you know everyone else is there for the candy.

Hm

so far, most everyone we've met here in Austin have been in committed relationships- ymmv, je?

I'm in a committed relationship as well, but the few acquaintances I have in Austin are of the serial-dating species. The committed couple that we have met in the past all seem to be from somewhere else other than Austin. Case in point, I'm from the Bay Area and the better half is from Memphis.
