I get dating. Believe me I do. Over 18 months in on this circus I have a fair understanding for the game, it is the different players that I am still trying to figure out. After having my first "fight" with someone since the ex, I was brought back down to Earth. I start most relationships by pushing the guy away. I realize that this is self-defense. But I also learned that it sets the tone for where the relationship is going... nowhere.
I was hurt beyond comprehension while in Dallas. And I wonder if I am beyond repair.
