Romantical Escapades

This is an interesting topic for me. I’m not really sure what all you’d like to know or what all I should share. Apparently some people actually care about and want to know more about my personal life, including my romantical escapades. Okay, I know that’s not really a word by most standards but I heard it and liked it, so here I am using it.

Let’s start with the basics. I am single. I have been mostly single for over eight years. I say mostly because I have had a few flings that I thought might turn into something like a committed relationship. And, if I’m being completely truthful, I have had a long-term on-again, off-again situationship during most of these years. 

One of the most annoying questions men ask when I share that I have been mostly single for a long time is “what’s wrong with you?” Guys, that is offensive. There’s nothing wrong with me. I just haven’t come across a man who was in the same head space as me at the same time, who is also compatible and we share a mutual attraction. 

I don’t really understand the misconception that something must be “wrong” with a woman who is single for an extended period of time. I also can’t stand the double standards of a woman freely expressing herself sexually in a manner that is comfortable and acceptable to her. 

With that being said, I am in a place of being open to dating and may just explore that world again. I have been in three long-term committed relationships throughout my teens, twenties, and early thirties. I have been cheated on, and I have been the “other” woman (aka side piece or relationship assistant). I haven’t cheated. I’d rather leave the situation. At least, that’s been my experiences so far.

I have not perfected relationships, nor am I an expert in any capacity. I’m only sharing my experiences, thoughts, and opinions. I’m always interested to hear your feedback and responses, and invite you to share, so please don’t worry about how I’ll take it. There is absolutely nothing that you can say that will be worse than what I have already said to myself, or continue to say. In unity, maybe we can become experts of our own paths by working together through this journey we call life.
