Singleness revisited

Yeah, I'm thinking that this whole dating business has to go. I'm so wiped out after weeks of being on the go from the moment I wake up until my head finally hits the pillow (usually several hours later than it should). And, it's not that I mind so much, but I have friends that I haven't had a chance to hang out with since before Christmas!! With the exception of my ego, there's no reason why these guys should be getting priority over my friends. I've got great friends who stuck by me even though I pushed them off to the sideline during my last relationship. And it would be one thing if I was actually in a real relationship again with someone right now. They'd forgive me. But I'm not in a relationship and I plan to keep it that way. Just dating, thanks. In fact, I asked one guy to lose my number because he's someone I could absolutely fall head over heels in love with, and I can't allow that to happen. I don't want to find myself in the situation again come fall where I have to decide between moving and being with someone. Wild horses couldn't make me stay in Boston for another winter. Especially not for a person again.
So, there it is. I just had to write that out to make it real. There's going to be at least one broken heart over this, but that's OK. Better now than later (and, I did try to warn 'em not to get too attached to me right from the get-go). And there's one guy who I really hope I can shuffle over to the friends category instead. But otherwise, anyone who isn't OK with me needing to put my friends first, I don't have time for anyway. So there. Pfffttttt!!
