i had a dateless weekend. but it was fun nonetheless. went over to a friends house and we cooked up a little old autumn feast. needless to say, we were very proud of ourselves. we cooked pork loin from scratch and it didn't turn out burnt and dry (which can be difficult, you know).

i'm seeing my ex next weekend, i think.....he's in town for a bachellor party and wanted to get together if his schedule allows. while he's a lovely person and we've decided to maintain our friendship, it's always a bit weird seeing an ex, expecially when he is well on his way and has most definitely moved on.

Why would you ever want or agree to hang out with an ex? Maybe it's cool for you, but I don't like being friends with my exs at all. It's always really weird and I just don't see that point. I've got enough friends that I don't feel the need to hang out with anyone that I couldn't hold onto a relationship with.

But as for seeing an ex, my ex-gf actually came back to the area this summer and wanted to see me. I was very reluctent to go, but now I'm actually glad I did. It was with other friends we both knew and things went very well. So, under the right conditions and if your ex isn't the vengeful, spiteful type, it might not always be such a bad thing.

i haven't dated since my ex and i broke up around Christmas lasted year. i have friends that are girl that i have hung out with, but no dating and no one in mind of as a relationship since then. just for some reason haven't been the in the mood right now, even though i want a relationship, but at the same time, just haven't been in the mood i guess to jump the gun, probably the best way in the end, haha.

well my ex finally responded to my email. that is the only we communicate if we communicate, hence she lived in Portland when we dated, and now she's in southern california. well i moved out there for her, and it didn't work out, so now i'm living back in ohio. and we talked a decent amount after i got back and then not talk for a long time, then all of a sudden she sends me this email. saying how she's seeing a lovely guy, and she is so happy in her sexuality now. she said other things but no point in getting the other stuff right now.

honestly, even though the emotions and love is dead now (real and true love is the only love that doesn't die), it still hurt me and angered me when she said this. she told me that remaining abstinate she hated it. she lived so long with having sex, and myself, i'm a virgin. she told me after we broke up that she may have felt different if we would have had sex. she is also a Christian. she just struggles in her faith i guess, just like everybody else. but still it just reminded me why i'm lonely and single. it's hard finding a girl that doesn't want sex. it's hard finding someone that is a Christian, willing to put up with one struggle till marriage comes along.

so that's why i've been dateless. i dont' want to go through this anymore. i want a girl who wants to be my best friend and i want to be hers, and maybe we'll just skip the dating stuff and get married. marriage seems just to be marrying your best friend, your soulmate in the eyes of God and being one under the eyes of God. forever being with one person. so yea, that email from my ex, just reaffirmed this desire in me. can't do anything else, haha. tried everything else. well, everything else i know of, and that i know i can try. there are just things i won't try that a lot of people try. but i just hope God brings me a girl that i can relate to, and is like me, and we become friends, best friends and maybe be lucky enough that we marry each other. cause that to me seems to be the best kidn of love, and it surely beats the way my last relationship was.

sorry for the venting here. May God Bless you all! <><

i'm still really good friends w/most of my exes, even the ones from highschool. i guess i invest a lot in each relationship and work on the friendship aspect as well as the romantic part and by boyfriend usually ends up being one of my best friends. i'm very big into communication and understanding each other so this type of relationship evolves. so, when we break up, i still very much love that person--i love them for who they are as opposed to their relationship status with me. b/c of that love for the person, someone who has become very much involved in my life, i think it would be a shame to throw all that away simply b/c we are no longer boyfriend and girlfriend. hence, we remain friends. it is tricky; usually cause he has found someone else, but i like to remain gracefull and learn to shift my love from romantic to platonic. it's hard, but has been worth it in the end each time. these aren't just random guys to me, they are very close and dear friends above all. so that's why i do it. i can't just drop one of my closest friends b/c he's not my boyfriend anymore.

nonetheless, it hurts a lot in the beginning and takes adjusting to. but i try to rise above things and i know that i'll eventually meet someone who will love me, etc. love is weird. it has so many facets, that it's hard to get a handle on.....

hey, tattedsaint, i understand your pain. i only hope, though that you don't "carry baggage", if you will, and don't let yourself get to protective of yourself. i've done that in the past and when some wonderful people came into my life, i messed it all up b/c i was so concerned w/keeping my guard up.

I'm still friends with a couple of my exes and have no problems hanging out with either of them. They're both nice girls and I consider both of them to be my friends; it's just that a "serious relationship" didn't work out in either case, and enough time has passed for any real feelings of weirdness to have subsided. On the other hand, I have a couple other exes who I have no contact with whatsoever and prefer it that way. I guess it just depends on the person...

I hang out with my ex all the time. We work fine as friends, just not so great as "more than friends".

I, for one, will agree with you, Breetai.

No matter what, there was that line from friendship to something more than friendship that you crossed and I do not think you can ever go back to being "just friends."

It's just not for me, either.

I have hung out with one of my ex's a few times, but nothing too recent. But here lately, I have been hanging out(whenever we get the chance) with one, we never were in a relationship just went out a few times, he's one of the guys that wanted something more but that other thing in my past holding me back, let me miss out on something good. But he's a good friend, someone who is always there to talk to no matter what... The whole friendship with him makes the dating scene sound even more unappealing and just being friends till you love each other enough for marriage.

"Dateless waif"? Seems apt right about now, considering I haven't been on anything other than a first date in about 3 years & the last date of any kind was near to a year ago. Being single sucks, & being a Christian single trying to find a decent guy is next to "cruel & unusual punishment."
