A mutual friend of ours was over last night and we were lamenting about how horrible dating in L.A. is. Well, at least I was lamenting... He being a male is quite satisfied with the plentitude of sex without commitment that abounds around here and is looking forward to welcoming his 40's with a self inflicted newly single lifestyle. He is a prime example of the men in L.A. He loves his girlfriend but never wanted to be married and can not stand the thought of turning 40 in such a marriage like relationship.
I have always wanted to ask him why my player is such a playboy but without drawing attention to our secret relationship. Aparently he hasn't seen the "new and improved" dating technique our friend has employed. He only knows the guy who his girlfriend had to field questions from ALL the TIME about dating and why women were such (fill in the blank)... I knew it! Something changed him into a cold hearted heart breaker and it wasn't that long ago. When he speaks about his old girlfriend who moved in with him I can hardly believe that he is the same guy, that he would ever let anyone in that close.
My loss... I get the version of the same guy who doesn't want to have a relationship right now, that just wants to focus on his career so he can retire in the next ten years a very wealthy man (I hope he makes it, cause at least he can buy love if it comes down to it. Otherwise he will be lonely and old with fewer choices when he is finally ready to open his heart.) I remind him it is the journey, not the destination that really matters and I for one want to share the journey with someone special.
This is clearly an example of being a day late and a dollar short for the fulfillment of my favorite and longest lasting fantasy. I know everything happens for a reason and I will one day understand all of this... but for now I will enjoy the emotional roller coaster it is since I am so interested in the journey anyway.
