Fantasy Phase
Chris rock said in a great sketch something along the lines that the first 3 months are a fantasy phase of a relationship--that you and your signif other are on best behaviour. He said, "your people are dating their people" and it's true, right?
However, I've dated this guy already. For two years. Two and half I think. So does this mean we don't go through a fantasy phase?
I'm not trying to be cynical or jaded, and I am definitely enjoying my new relationship with my old/new boyfriend (sounds like a trannie) but I just wonder what will happen if we are both on our best behaviour...
I am VERY comfortable around him but I don't fart in front of him yet. I HAVE taken a big dump in his apartment and spoke incessantly about it, but that's about it. I wonder if he's being on good behaviour too. Why am I still spelling like a brit? I haven't been to school in England since '98. Sheesh.

exes...
Have you ever dated someone who seemed perfect for you but it was not the right time for you? Or maybe it wasn't the right time/circumstance for the guy.
Years after our breakup I used to compare dates and more significant relations to my ex John. Now I've reconnected with him and it's wonderful because we're both older and the timing is finally right.
When you're in love with someone, you just know it. When you're with the right person, it's easy to see. Maybe it's fate? I met John at a club during my first week in DC 8 years ago. Crazy.

weekend, freakin
I spent the entire weekend with John. From Friday night at 8:30pm until Sunday, 10:30pm. Normally I would feel like killing anyone if I spent that much back-to-back time with, but not mr. boyfriend. We packed so much in (in more ways than one) during this weekend: Friday dancing, brunch, coffee, dog walking around cathedral, movie, partying some more, Dupont Circle. It was like I went to Disneyland with my bestfriend, but we really just messed around the city. WOW! What fun.
Random question: is it an underhanded compliment to say to him this: "of all the boyfriends I've ever had, he is the best one for me" ? Is it weird to compliment someone while referencing your past sex life? What CAN you talk about when referencing your relations with others? Are there rules posted somewhere online? Help!

Boyfriend!
I have a boyfriend. I dated him for 2 years and hadn't seen him once in the entire 6 years of living but a mile or two away from him. Once we started hanging out--it was magic!
We rekindled the old romance but we are older. I was barely 22 when we started dating and I turn 30 this year (eeeeeeeek!) I was a big old alcoholic descending into a debauched, independent, and reckless life (er, nightlife) and after wising up (and sobering up) I found this old boyfriend again, one fine and unusually warm day in January at Dupont Circle. After 6 years.
So now we're planning a trip to Rome. I've been IM/texting/emailing/calling and seeing eachother daily for the last 3 weeks. And it's love all over again (only we're much smarter and the feelings are more intense)
I've dated hundreds of guys and in my experience, you always want to give them a second chance if the first date sucks or if they don't seem 100% compatible. What I have found, however, is that when you are with the right person YOU KNOW IT, you just know. Pretty much from the get-go it's apparent that there's a click and that you get along and have much in common. Well, that's how I feel right now and a lot of folks who I know in long term relationships say the same thing too! Maybe I'm in a fantasy phase???

a disclaimer
If you have read the past couple of blog entries by yours truly, you could have easily assessed that I was neurotic. As of recently, I have been going nuts over this exboyfriend of mine. You see, after dating to a near professional extent, I could easily have said that I never was truly IN LOVE with anyone until I met him. I may have thrown the words around to people that I "love" but who I didn't feel "in love" with. Is there a difference? Does "in love" mean something more romantic or deeper than loving like a best friend? What does "in love" mean?
Right now I'm thinking that "in love" means you become capable of being EXTREMELY emotional, irrational, and unstable; doing the unthinkable and embarrassing ; and losing your shit at the slightest provocation by love interest when you are normally unmoved by people. I never lose it over a guy, so i guess this is love? If not, then perhaps I just want something I can't have and he's been playing this game of chase to his advantage and to my emotional disadvantage. however, this is no game because "hard to get" would eventually want to be caught. That said, I am the loser. Oh well! I'm over him, I think.
