I agree! I can't think of anything more ridiculous than claiming to have an "exclusive relationship" with someone I have never even met??!! We are ADULTS here, are we?
I may feel a connection, even a strong connection, with someone.... in which case I would hope and, perhaps make plans, to meet. But until we have established something of a REAL relationship, I will remain open to making the most of any opportunities that come my way.
The one I like alot lives in Phoenix (only 1 1/2 hour from me) and we've been on 4-5 dates already. I think he likes me a lot. I won't see him again until after Sunday, when he gets back from Michigan, where he was gone for 3 weeks for Thanksgiving. I hope he is still interested
There's just 1 major change about me, that he may not like: I quit drinking. I quit 2 weeks and it's great. I still go out and have fun, but it's better now, that I don't "blackout" anymore and no more jealously either. I wonder if he'll still want to be with me...Hmmm...
I was with my guy but it was far more than email/chat yadda yadda.. I could explain in depth, but the fact is, unless you have been in the same situation, you would never understand it. So, call me a *wierdo* if you will. But the fact is, I am probably a lot more sane than many that think I am the crazy one. Would you cheat on your partner if they were off at war for a few years?
there should be an understanding. If it is a commotted relationship...then be faithful. If you both agree that you are seeing other people, then so be it. This is why I don't think LDR work very often. People will seek companionship. We like to touch, smell, see, and taste. I seek companionship...so I occasionally have a breif fling, simply for the human element. But if I meet someone and we have a mutual committment...distance is not a reason for infidelity
