Too Comfortable too soon

So, I have been a little quiet in the blogoshpere lately, but life has, as it does, gotten a little crazy. Lost a job in  December, became a commercial star in January, and three months later I'm still trying to figure out what the next step is! Funny how life is nothing but discernment and listening. Anyway, on to dating...

Well the linebacker resurfaced, and we've been going out for a few months now. He's the funny thing, in his head, we never stopped dating (oops). As time has moved on, I feel that he's gotten far too comfortable in the relationship.

We're starting break up proceedings, but I do feel that you should always learn something from every relationship. What I can say is that never let someone settle too easily in a relationship. We went from two weeks of going out to me staying at home cooking for him while he watches ESPN on my flipping couch. REALLY?! i'm all about the domesticated life, but don't you think you should try to pretend you want to go out in public?!

This girl does not find a night eating stouffer's lasagna and the latest game on ESPN a  good substitution for cocktails and heels. He then did his ever popular disappearing act (AGAIN). He claims he's been busy helping his brother out (so not even time for a phone call...wow, didn't realize we were in the era of land lines and operators, I thought we had a new invention called cell phones).

I think his MO is keeping someone on the back burner. Gentlemen (and ladies), if you want someone to stick around, you can't take that person for granted. If you're just not into it, don't lead the person on. Tell them that you're not feeling it and move on. It's much easier to be single than pseudo single and wondering.

Even a pot on the back burner can overboil and cause you to get burned.
