Time to say goodbye


Right, so I wasn’t sure about this last time I blogged but now it’s been confirmed. My neighbour/sex buddy (for some reason I cringe at the phrase ‘fuck buddy’ – it’s so cliché but there’s no avoiding it). Anyway, I digress – he’s moving back home due to visa issues. He might be back, he might not be – that’s all dependent on the visa. 

This news kinda made me ‘re-evaluate’ our relationship as for me, there was no long term plan and hence I use the term relationship very loosely. Every day, you hear stories (or watch a movie) about some girl who had a platonic relationship which eventually becomes a romantic one. I can safely say, this is not the case here. I mean don’t get me wrong, there’s definitely a strong physical attraction there but truth be told, we’re just really good friends. We get along like a house on fire and I could spend hours and hours talking and hanging out with him but there’s no real ‘va-va-voom’.

Maybe I’m just being greedy or have unrealistic expectations but I really want excitement! The most excitement I’ve had lately is having too many cups of coffee and practically bouncing off the walls from my caffeine high. And I totally understand that the excitement might wane after several years of being together but I definitely think it makes for the start of a fantastic relationship.

Last month was fairly busy on the work front so I didn’t get to do much social stuff but I’ve got lots planned this month! I plan on going a little crazy and giving my liver a good work out! Hahaha!!!

Also, I think I have been signed up to do a charity skydive! I vaguely remember slurring out my consent at work drinks on Thursday. Funny how ideas seem so much better when you’re drunk. *shakes head* I’m terrified of heights but then again, I am looking to try new things and push my boundaries (and it is for a good cause)... I’m so conflicted!!! *sigh*

Anyway, back to my original point – he’s leaving! And it’s okay. I’m absolutely fine about it. We had a great time and I’ll miss hanging out with him but I’m definitely not heart- broken! All in all, it was a great summer distraction!

i'm with Luciano here, I'm guessing you're not so nonchalant as you appear if you're writing a whole post about it:)

As for the sky dive, have fun. You can mark it off your bucket list and it's for a great cause too.I hear it's really very safe.

Charity skydive sounds like a great idea. It's terrifying right up to the point where you leave the plane. Then it is magical. Don't pass up on this opportunity. I know of what I speak.

Good for you. Thank you so much for stopping by my blog.

@Luciano and Myne, I am gonna miss him! That's not it. I just don't feel 'heartbroken' ( - I have felt 'heartbroken before and it sucks!). I just feel like the same way I felt I'd miss my friends when I moved from Wales. We have a good relationship but I feel like its something to build a great friendship on (which we have) not a rock-solid relationship. I guess I might re-think this once the dust settles and see if I feel any different but I know myself and I'm pretty good.

@Cal, see, I don't know know if I could even hack it to that point! It seems too terrifying!!! I'll have to think about it properly. :-)

@Murees, thanks!!!

I think we all need some excitement in our lives!

Sometimes you miss people for all different kinds of reasons. It's like giving up a comfortable pair of worn out jeans. Good luck with the skydiving, but don't take the plunge unless you're ready. It may be easier to buy a new pair of jeans. Julie

Skydiving does sound so much fun! Glad you had fun while it lasted. Life is too short!

{ Barbara } at: 22 October 2011 at 11:04 said...

oh yeah! I'm with you when it comes the idea of sky diving! I haven't done that before, so I would be happy to read your story!

Good articles. I like it. Dont forget to give me your comment back into my blog, okay

Lola, I couldn't find you -- maybe looking in the wrong place. Although this post seems as if it should be a sad one, you write it with such humor that I can't help myself from laughing (sorry). You do have a talent to tell it like it is, even with humor.

{ Cal's Canadian Cave of Coolness } at: 2 November 2011 at 02:22 said...

You tell such good stories and I would have you shipped here as my mail order bride. It's too bad you lost your sex friends. Those are rare and special when you can find them.

Thanks for all the comments everyone! *virtual hugs all around* I'm actually really fine but I guess I get the whole thing about the lady doth protest too much so I'm gonna stop talking about it! Hahahaha!!! :-)

Nothing at all wrong with distractions -- grin! It's ok to miss them - there are lots of ways to care -- it doesn't all have to be forever to be perfect -- Protest all you want -- even a toy deserves a little sad when it turns up missing!
