Little bit about history

There's a degree of difficulty whenever someone starts a new relationship. Well actually there are several. Number one is usually dependant on the length of time one was single before the new relationship starts. Another is if the person you decide to go out with is still in love with his ex.

Take for example my ex, Bryan and his new girlfriend Christina. Bryan was so hell-bent that he and I were going to get back together that he avoided even trying to meet people for 6 months after I broke it off with him. Then I met Craig and started dating him. Bryan was still convinced for the first 3 or so months Craig and I dated, that we would get back together.

Christina was in the picture sometime around the 8 month break up mark. Christina fell in love with him and he sat there trying to convince me that Craig was not a good idea, and they we were better together. Like I'm going to believe those words coming from the mouth of the man that tried to kill me. Didn't matter to me anyways. I was in love with someone else and it was great.

Sucked for Christina though. She went through a lot trying to stay with a man that was in love with his ex. I guess it paid off for her though, they are still together and just past their one and a half years mark I think. I think she went through a shit load of emotional pain though, for at least the first year. It took a long time of him being alone before he was ready to date.

I guess that's why for this time for me, I'm not in a hurry. I don't want to meet a guy and have him fall for me and then break his heart. I'm totally not like that. Besides, I've always enjoyed having tons of time to myself and not having anyone to answer to. Then again there are ton's of lonely times too. I guess thats when it would be beneficial to have someone to fall back on and help me through it till I meet someone else. Wait a sec, rebounds are never a good idea. Someone always ends up hurt.
