more thoughts from the rim

Its always been interesting to me the difference between meeting people on-line and meeting people in RL. I have the sort of life that even in RL it sometimes feels like I exist in a fantasy. I meet many people, I make many people smile, I even date quite frequently...

But then...in RL,
I still have real doubts that I can find someone who can truly keep up with me emotionally, spiritually, socially and sexually.

Someone who I can not only love, but be IN love with.

Perhaps I can never have all of that in one person, and I can accept that. What I am not willing to accept is to settle for less then I am worth.

And with that I might be end up "alone" but never Lonely.

Keep the faith, mon ami. The old maxim seems to hold true; you find what you're looking for, only once you stop looking.

You are right
There is quite a difference, especially with a regular correspondent.

I define it as getting to know someone from the inside out online and then being introduced to that person from the outside in. It can be quite a juxtaposition and/or nicely harmonious.

As far as real life love/in love goes...maybe you aren't hanging out with the right people yet.

I have made the same commitment to myself that I am not willing to accept less than...it certainly cultivates patience among other things...

Does it have to be one person that meets all your needs? I've learned that - for me - I *can't* get that all in one person... but it doesn't have to get in the way of falling in love. It depends on what kind of relationship you're looking for. For what I want and need, a poly lifestyle makes the most sense... and gets my needs met, where a mono relationship doesn't, and feels limiting. That's just me, though, and I've admittedly been poly since I was 16. Regardless, I think I'd have to agree with Busdriver though... keep the faith & don't settle for less than what you want and need! You do deserve to have it all... and you will.

Huggs! I understand, believe me. I am constantly on a quest for self improvement development, learning and growth, this often means that I feel alone on the frontier (which I know not true but is does feel like it). I also like to live life fast, I am pretty sure I live life at atleast twice the speed of everyone else, but that's the way I like it I also love to jet set, meet new ppl visit new places, it is hard to find a person that can keep up with me.

Poly can be lovely , but at the speed I live my life it is hard to find one person that can keep up let alone more than that :D

Muchly Huggs! (with a bite, because I can :D)
