Three Strikes
By GoodbyeGal
I spent the weekend with friends and while I had an amazing, fun filled, action packed visit, I also came back feeling a little down. I can only blame myself, and also realize that in a way I am being completely silly.
A group of us went out drinking at a pretty popular place in town. I had heard that three different guys who I find attractive and know in various aspects were going to be there too and immediately my libido took over my brain and I started to craft plans of seduction. Of course this would have been so much easier had I been able to focus on just one plan of attack, but I got greedy and decided that I needed to try my luck with all three. Well, that was the stupidest idea ever and three two many drinks later I ended up empty handed at the end of the night.
I’m pretty sure one of them will avoid me like the plague from now on after a series of drunk text messages, but then I’ve learned a valuable lesson from this all… I think. I know, and I keep reminding myself, that I need to keep focused on the situation at hand and set myself free from the life I continue to lead, the life that I feel so trapped in, and desperately want to flee from.
I can only take my strike-out to be some sort of sign or blessing.
I’m not looking for love, I’m not looking to start a relationship, but on the other hand I am also Not looking to build a portfolio of casual encounters – I respect myself more then that and I know its just a set up for heartache and mental stress, cause as a woman I can not help to get attached to some degree….and I really don’t want hurt feelings whether they be mine or theirs.

I’ll let it slide that you are not abiding to the Divorce House motto of “boys are just toys”. But, as you often tell me, new relationships are not the thing we should be focusing on right now. Work on getting out of the “big one” and then let all the other chips fall where they may. And whatever you do – don’t get so disappointed so quickly! There’s too much excitement to be had.
I’m defintely agreeing with what SingleGal had to say. But I also applaud your awareness with knowing that just sleeping around is really just going to hurt you in the long run. That’s a lesson I had to learn the hard way but at least I know I won’t repeat it.
