...Just wanted to talk..I've been on the dating site and thought that i was really developing a connection with this guy. upon his encouragement I shared my need to go slow in communicating, just writing..I talked about how I saw relationships, a little of my fears about opening up..well the guy stopped writing me. i was hurt, but not devastated. each time I get "rejected",it gets easier and I don't want to run and do something destructive. For some reason, having a relationship seems less important the more I see that there are no "saviors" that's going to come and take care of me. Maybe this is just a good excercise in being able to express myself in a safe way, maybe I will meet someone nice, maybe I won't, but going back on, reaching out with a "flirt",gives me a chance to do something that I never had a chance to do as a child. To "choose," even if it didn't work out. I do have something valuable to offer..me..
