I had a coffee-date with a guy, not very attractive, actually a little ugly, but good-natured and OK to talk to. Later he sent an email with a comment that was sort of a sleazy come-on, jokingly of course. Disappointing, because I actually wanted to give the guy a chance, and now feel repulsed. But you know what? It makes me miss the last guy I broke up with. The first month of that one was lovely. He was sweet and sensitive and beautiful to look at. No courtship blunders there. I felt so happy and alive. I had forgotten, since the relationship quickly went to sh*t after the initial promise. Just brings up fresh pain is all. I slept all evening I felt so bad. Just want to sleep more.
Don't want either one of these guys. The new one apparently lacks the flaws of the previous, but also lacks the good points. I do that. Date a polar opposite after a breakup. Toss out baby with bathwater. Feels like punishing self. Like OK, it didn't work with the sweet sensitive pretty one, so now you must go with one that's coarse and unattractive. Yuck. Where's my good-enough mate?
