"Steel" my Heart
October 15th 2006 07:03
Why does it have to hurt sooo bad? I'm not talking about wearing heals or waxing, I'm talking about that guy. The guy that's not there anymore but you just can't seem to get out of your system. It was a great meal, at a great restaurant…and now you don't want to go out to dinner again, because you're afraid you'll never have a great meal again, or that you won't be able to get a bad taste out of your mouth if it doesn't work out…then you get up the courage, and you wonder what restaurant, what meal? The fish or pasta? Why not the spaghetti marinara? It's all soo difficult, so you stay in and read your magazine for advice on "how to be a better lover", and "what to do when he"…"relationship advice" and how to be "partner perfect". The problem?! Perhaps we're all a little too educated about the opposite sex (correct information or not), maybe we expect too much, maybe we're too prepared. Maybe there's a little too much theorising and not enough practical…I believe that women have been cultured into thinking that there's a "how to" on everything. There's a right and a wrong, a good and a bad…this is especially for women without children as I hear that once there's bubs around women realise there's no handbook. Well, being without child, thank-god (for the child's sake offcourse) when a certain relationship ended I found myself flipping through the magazines, doing those stupid quizzes, blindly hoping that the answers would be in the B column at the bottom of the page because I had scored 24-34. I wonder now whether it was the easy answer I was looking for, or any answer? Having always been studying and making friends with BOB (Back-Of-Book) who would always have the answer. Then going to work and making friends with the "manuals" and the HELP computer button…It didn't seem strange to me at the time to look for the answers as to why my relationship ended in a magazine…is such advice our friend or vice?

And I also hate how relationships are becoming more planned!
